同担拒否 Vs Oshi Change?

5.2BRAINROT SCORE

同担拒否— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE

同担拒否 同担拒否 (dōtan kyohi, "refusing same-favorite fans") is Japanese fandom slang for a fan who prefers not to interact with other fans of the same idol, voice actor or character (同担). The opposite attitude is 同担歓迎. It is a personal stance about how a fan wants to engage, often stated in a social media profile.

Origin:Wikipedia (ja) explains that 担当 and 同担 were first used among fans of Johnny's idol groups and then spread to other idol and anime fandoms. It says that around the late 1990s fans carried name cards showing their 担当, which were also used for 同担拒否, and that the stance is linked to wanting a close bond with the favorite and seeing same-favorite fans as rivals, or to keeping relations with other fans smooth. No coiner is named.
