I have a plan, ok? If I can pay off the rest of my debt by next year, then I will use all of my credit cards to buy as many tickets as possible when they go on tour next. I will then resell those extra tickets to as many true ARMYs as possible at no upcharge.
Look, I try to keep it light here, but I'm getting to the point where I just can't stand this anymore. I need to say something.
After observing the situation for a while, I have concluded that if you support the "HYBE boycott", you are one of two kinds of people:
+
1 - Right intentions, wrong execution.
You do actually care about Palestine, but you're ill-informed. You are being duped and going about this all wrong. You are not helping anyone, other than the antis who want to hurt BTS. Your actions only serve to undermine this fandom. If +
let you win. Actual ARMYs are stronger than you. We beat you back then, and we'll beat you again now.
So gather up your nasty little friends, take your false narratives, and kindly get the fvck out of my fandom.
behind this boycott, from what I can tell, is a push from covert antis to undercut BTS and weaken ARMY from within. I am getting serious Break Wings flashbacks here. The timing, the organized nature of it, and the way they pretend to be ARMY is very reminiscent of that era. +
Except it's actually worse, because not only are you people targeting and hurting *only* BTS, you're exploiting an entire country's suffering to do so.
It's revolting, it's vile, it's so low I can't even describe.
But we see you. We know what you're doing, and we won't +
you truly care, then volunteer and donate to service organizations who are committed to sending relief to those in need. Stop posturing and start making real change by doing something that will actually help people.
2 - Wrong intentions, deliberate execution. The real reason +
Follow-up:
When I said they're hurting *only* BTS, I mean that they're literally only targeting our boys. If it's a "HYBE" boycott, then why are they still buying/streaming every other artist under HYBE? Especially US ones, whose revenue goes directly to 🛴?
It's so obvious...
@BTStranslation_
Seriously, WTF.
ENOUGH ALREADY. It used to be cute when a few people did it occasionally.
But now, it's just too much.
JM goes live to thank us and share his happiness with us, and this is what we give him?? What a disgrace. I'm so embarrassed for us all. 😞
@jayyyyhope_
I don't care what anyone says. This song is satire. It's funny, and a total banger. I will always love it.
And honestly, it disgusts me that they got so much sh!t for it when I hear FAR worse lyrics on mainstream US radio. 🙄
@bts_bighit
Excited that I finally get to see it all in crystal clear HD with no skips, buffering, or crashes.
Annoyed that we have to pay to do so, when the concert was supposed to be free. :<
@andfuckvmin
Never really cared for him, anyway. HALSEY is the rightful Bora Mascot.
Halsey, Becky G, Cena, Aoki, Fallon, Chris... now those peeps I like, and I trust them with our boys. 😌
@Carrie_Army
I do understand the instinct most people have in that they want HYBE to quell this shit immediately, but we all need to accept the fact that the weels of justice turn slowly. Being patient and thorough is very important in these kinds of situations. 'The truth will out.'

@jasminericegirl
So by that logic, gay folks can't have friends of the same gender. And bi people, pan people, etc can't have any friends at all. Is that right?? 🙄

Absolutely YES. Talk about a cultural reset. I WOULD LITERALLY DIE, but I'd die happy.

@bts07ddaeng
What's wrong with watching color-coded lyric videos? (Genuine question.) They're pretty informative for new armys. Obviously if it has an MV you should probably watch that, but what about the songs that don't?
@WhatchaGot2Say
I strongly hope our boys DON'T receive exemption, bc it'll only cause them long term trouble. Public opinion of them will plummet if they don't go, and it *will* affect their careers. They need to just go, get it over with ,& come back so it's not hanging over their heads anymore
@bakbakjimin
It's LITERALLY the hottest thing a guy can wear. 🤌🏻🔥
And I *loved* his clap back at dudebros saying "bUt I dOn't WaNT to lOoK GAy". I really want the clichè that 'only gay men are fashionable' to die already.
Dress like Jimin and women will THROW THEMSELVES at you, I promise.
@ryuminating
The way they all share this kind of mentality is part of what took them so far. It's so incredibly admirable.
Taehung, you sweetie... I love you. 💚
@btsthroughyears
@BTS_twt
The way they paused their vocals occasionally, skipping words in a very obvious way -- to remind the locals that they were, in fact, performing live and NOT lyp-synching... They knew the kind of shit people were going to say about them.
Anyway, such an iconic stage. 😭
@votingbrigade
Those who bully and mock other fandoms unprovoked are not real ARMYs, period. So don't do it. Don't become one of those people. Follow our boys' example and be respectful.
At this point BigHit should just get rid of all of them and hire me instead.
I know for a fact that I would do a much better job of wrapping myself around Jimin's torso. 👕

@TXT_members
A truly magnificent performance from a really exceptional group of artists. TXT deserved every award they were nominated for, but got robbed, just like their older brothers. As expected of the VMAs.🙄

Louder Than Bombs💣 is no longer quite as under-appreciated as it used to be, and someone has probably said it already. So instead, I will pick one of my other favorite (*criminally* underrated) jams.
"COME BACK HOME" 🏡
This take is spot on, IMO. I am strongly against sasaengs/paparazzi invading their personal space & equally against fans spreading unwanted photos/videos/etc. This event was NOT THAT. So chill out. This is a fun moment for all of us, & they made it that way on purpose. 💜🎷🎶🎵
Guys, BTS are not fools. They knew media is gonna be there, Seokjin saluted everyone when exiting the base and posed for pictures. Everything was broadcasted on national television. If they didn't wanted this to happen they would have greeted each other privately
@FantomeBooh
I wish we had a different word besides "feminine". Because I don't belive that beauty, softness, grace, etc. are traits inherent only in females. 😑
But yes to everything you said. 💜
Even so, I'm forever grateful to Adachitoka for creating something so powerful. No matter how the story ends tomorrow, this manga will always be top-tier in my eyes. (It's a crying shame that the anime didn't get a continuation.) Thank you for all of the memories,

@tae_cherriess
Where is the original video? I'm just playing devil's advocate here, but the subtitle says "were", not "we're". So its possible they were not referring to themselves. If it is a typo, however, and they did say it about themselves, then... color me unsurprised, I guess. Lol
@GLISTEN_J
This whole ad was so cute!! Jiminnie's adorable face, funny old man voice, cute baby talk to the pup... And then Joonie calling him at the end?? 💘😭

Shiny~✨️ I spent too much money and ordered the set from global so I could get the gift. I *also* ordered a regular album from the US, so it would count toward the charts.

For Biden? Maybe so.
For BTS? Absolutely not. Not only do they not need it, but they take their charity work/ activism very seriously.

@emopod
Totally! He's accommodating autistic or otherwise touch-averse folks, those who can't hug him for religious reasons, just plain shy people, etc.... it's so thoughtful, and I love him for that.
The only thing we are doing during Jins' first live when he comes home is showing him love. We are going to tell him that we missed him and that we're happy that he is back safe and sound. We are going to show him that we support him, that we didn't leave, and that we eagerly
@BBMAs
They are literally doing everything they possibly can to downplay BTS and their massive impact on the western/global music industries. Amazing. 🙄 But I'm definitely not surprised.
