This is my first topic here... so please keep it clean :) and participate if you like :

I have been observing since I started posting here... people accuse others or each other of flip flopping or
bandwagoning or taking a U turn... abhi ranveer,
shahid and ranbir poll wale thread me dekha...why do fans or others think people are bandwagoning?

kya opinions don't change?.. and is it wrong to praise something you like if in past you bashed that actor or actress? .. agar kisine accha kam kiya in a movie, praise is natural... most people will praise... why expect constant opinions? only thing constant in this world is 'change'... agar kam accha karoge, you will be praised... agar accha no ho, you will be bashed... mujhe ye bandwagoning accusations or taunts samaj nahi aate... and bohut se log on this forum use this expression... as if all of us should maintain same to same opinions till we are here... bada immature sa approach hai in my opinion...

what do you think? should I keep my mouth shut even if I
bashed an actor in the past than to praise his or her work ...
warna bolenge bandwagoning kar rahi hai..ya if I praised someone I lose my right to bash that actress or actor.. warna flip flopping bolenge ... :p

Edit..something is wrong with the format of my post.. tried to fix it.. but no luck.. so plz ignore!

True.

I want to praise few actors but some people here are so freaking annoying that i end up posting negative stuff or making fun of the stars

I particularly remember one member stating that i jad no right to talk about RAnbir when i wished him well career wise. People like these not only make me hate them but their favs.

no no..opinions can change,certainly..why not?If you have criticized an actor's work in the past but are liking him currently then you can and should say it..if you have been a fan of somebody for a long time and are not liking them now then you can and should say that too..that is a sign of an objective fan.
But this is not bandwagoning..is it?Bandwagoning is when you start liking somebody or something just because others are liking it.. or just because someone or something is a huge hit.

haa par that is how people use bandwagoning here... aur
how do we know if someone is praising a movie or
actor bcoz they are bandwagoning or if genuinely
liking it? yaha koi jadutona janta hai who can read minds?...
mujhe ye approach bada immature laga... so maine
topic banaya for discussion... I don't mean any offense.. :)

@grumpythecat: mera experience is similar... many
didnt like the idea..i was one of them.., fans bole bashing ...
aur how we will palti mar if it becomes a success... now even if i like the movie or it becomes successful... i will have to bash
it warna bolenge bandwagoning ya flip flopping... :p

kya, there is no middle ground? ... have to either hate or love... all in... warna...

Someone please explain that by what definition RK has become so successful that I have joined his wagon 😆 .
I wasn't on forum when he was bashed for his previous movies , so I have no right to come and be his fan now 😆

Firstly we have to understand..we dont have any hand in making our stars careers.

not even .00000000000000000000001 %.

Stars make their careers,by passing their tests on the release Friday.

There is no shortcut.

PR's dont make careers.

Everyone has the right..and should post whatever their opinion is.

We are individuals-not groups.

Tip:Walk alone..It helps in the long run

I agree. This term is used so loosely on this forum. This forum is extreme in it's love and hate, there is usually no middle ground. It's all very black and white. 😆

Sometimes though I know where members are coming from with the accusations, cuz it is true that some people support actors and films based on their fav's competitors. But it's not necessarily happening all the time. 😆
