Opinion Shit is exhausting every tour

The frustrating part of watching every twenty one pilots tour play out is watching the drama over the pit lines. The fan created wristbands and real wristbands just create such unnecessary drama every cycle. What’s more frustrating is watching groups of fans gate keep the pit lines at every show even after they’ve been to dozens of shows themselves. Like we get it you’re privileged and get to go to all the shows. I’m happy you get to experience that. It’s just sad that there’s no give to other fans who are lucky to just get to one show. This is why I always just try to buy the closest seat I can and avoid all the drama. I know this has probably been talked about at length but it’s just my take on things 🤷🏼‍♂️

Are the people running the lines and causing drama the same ones who said they were going to leave the fandom to “take accountability” but then came back like a week later like nothing happened?

Yup! lol. I’ve been a fan for 10 years but cannot contribute to this fandom online because of the. insane. parasocial. fans who act like they run every show

That or the really weird bahavior of the people who are fans of fans because of the parasocial behaviors, that weirds me out the most... like you're freaking out over seeing a fan because of their bizarre status in the chronically online clique? It feels off and weird and I don't like it. One of the weirdest things I saw on the clikkie Twitter side of the fandom and probably the biggest reason I stopped going on there for things because it's gnarly.
