I feel guilty for liking kpop

Rant

I have moral OCD. I get intrusive thoughts that Im a horrible person for liking kpop. It has gotten so bad that seeing any posts online critiquing kpop (even if it’s from other kpop fans) triggers my OCD.

I have a voice in my head saying

“People are going to think you support ED’s if you tell them you like kpop”

“You are racist for liking kpop”

“You must explain your morals to people before you tell them you like kpop so they won’t judge you”

“You support the bad sides of the industry because you are a K-pop fan”

I know these things aren’t true. But these intrusive thoughts make me feel so guilty for liking something that brings me joy. I have been questioning myself and my morals constantly just because I like something. Does anyone have any advice?
