Sometimes, the fandom is toxic and sometimes, the fandom is healthy so this page will only focus on the good and healthy side of the fandom.

Why They Deserve To Perform On A Live House

 * 1) Compared to most idol anime and musical anime, they're mostly safe and there are more nice users than toxic users in there.
 * 2) Fans can respect unpopular opinions especially to those who hate it or prefer other games/series.
 * 3) *Speaking of, they get along with fans of Love Live! and even wish to make a collaboration of that someday in the game due to the fact that they share similar developers.
 * 4) Good cosplays, fan fiction, fan comics, and fan art.
 * 5) They make good (or at least decent memes) of it that don't get overused. An example of a great memer on Twitter is called Bad Bandori Posts.
 * 6) They show a huge appreciation to the songs, developers and the seiyuus of the anime and the games, especially the covers that the bands make. The most notable ones are the covers coming from Vocaloid.
 * 7) They are aware of the animation being lazy and/or terrible at times in the anime, particularly how season 1's animation aged poorly and how season 2's animation can get choppy movements.
 * 8) They're mostly against incest shipping from the Udagawa sisters. Proof can be found here.

What Stops Them From Doing So (Bad Qualities)
Note: These reasons apply to the entire fandom and not just the healthy portion


 * 1) As stated earlier, the fandom can be sometimes toxic.
 * 2) Sometimes, even the sane the fans try to get you to pronounce the title in Japanese (Bandori) rather than in English even if you prefer to pronounce it that way.
 * 3) In Girls Band Party, during multi lives, some users have either weird, inappropriate, or fetish-inducing usernames. The most common ones are "fleet if ur gay" or "*insert character here* come home". But other than that, they mostly name themselves like that for laughs.
 * 4) Despite asking for a Love Live! collab in the future, some actually demand one to be released already even though that may not actually happen in the future.
 * 5) Occasional best girl debates, best band debates, and shipping debates.
 * 6) Some fans call Hagumi Kitazawa a Rin Hoshizora/Kokoro Tsurumaki clone which can get old to listen to after a while.
