I'm so much happier over on 🦋 ap. Seeing so many familiar accounts turn up, it's starting to feel like home. My time there is so much less stressful than here so if you're looking for me, I'd love to see you there.
ARMY, the blue check accounts you see insulting BTS under pop base and chart data posts are making money off every interaction you give them. It's a new program. If u respond, they make money. If u block them silently, they lose points
This is really straightforward and perhaps the most unequivocal thing I'll ever say: I'm BTS ARMY so I vote for BTS. I will always vote for BTS. If you ask me to vote for someone else, you don't understand how this works. It will NEVER happen. I'm tired.

In Australia, Rugby League rivals who are a couple shared a kiss after the game that made the front page of the paper. This game is our greatest sporting rivalry. They fell in love after a loss to New Zealand when both members of the national team.
Some cultural context for non-Aussies: Kid Laroi is Indigenous Australian. For decades, the government forcibly removed mixed children from their homes and sent them to be raised by white couples as an attempt to erase their blackness. As a response to this genocide, +
Quick Angelina story. I used to work fund-raising for UNHCR while she was the goodwill ambassador. She had a strange reputation in Hollywood at the time. Ppl thought she was weird. They told us that she'd walked into the headquarters of another big charity who I wont name
And said, I want to help. They turned her down. Said her rep wouldnt be good for them. Too controversial. She left there, walked into the UN and that's how we got her. She ended up being the most successful ambassador in decades. Dumbasses.
This is a blink trying to set up another fandom. Don't take the bait. These guys covered butter because they respect 875. Their fans have no problem with us.

As soon as I recognised him in Everywhere I was so happy. He makes me think of childhood comfort movies, but also, his smile is just magic.
I spotted an ARMY at the traffic lights in the city today. Said, "hey, you army?" And flashed my chimmy wallet. She smiled excitedly and asked my bias. We discussed JKs live(we both missed it), crossed the street and went our way. That's being ARMY.
Indigenous Australians can identify and are accepted as Aboriginal if they embrace their culture. Laroi was born and raised in Redfern, a Sydney suburb that has deep historical cultural ties with First Nations people and is proud and involved with his community.

Yes. So at national level, same team, state level, bitter rivals, club level also rivals. The one in blue is the captain of her state team. They won that match.

When you responded to the fact that he regularly mocks black ppl in a way tailored to entertain white ppl with "is that wrong?" You showed you have no place speaking here.
Disclaimer: Though I am Australian Im not Indigenous. I'm trying to provide some context, and so screencapped reputable sources where I could. Please take this attempt as purely that.

Never heard an army say that. Sure person in the quote does, but they're not an army. 🤷♀️ the only ppl who say things like that are the ones who only listen to main tracks and not b-sides. Ie. Not armys.
BTS SUGA's latest Instagram reel has amassed more than 30 million views in less than 24 hours. It's now the most watched reel in its first day in platform's history.
— the previous record was held by Taehyung with 28.9 million views in 24hrs.

For grammys, he was producer & teased bts up next the whole time only for them to be almost at the end and their performance of dynamite shorter than ususal. We were annoyed at how they seemed to use them for views but give no awards and the guys had to stay up all night
So basically, the terms Indigenous, First Nations, Aboriginal, Blak are all used in Australia. I don't know which term/s he specifically prefers, but you'll see all used to refer to him.

Oh the fantasy land you two live in. When have the charts ever and I mean ever worked like that? The system has been a stacked deck since day 1. The only ppl who ever yearn for yesteryear are the ppl who benefited from the stacking or didn't realise it existed.

The main problem is that you have to change tampons regularly or you can die of toxic shock syndrome. He's totally missed that point because he clearly doesn't know that. So while how heavy the flow is affects how often you have to change, so does time.

Thanks for that. Some academics who study us said our organisation structure was a rhizome. I should do some more reading one day and learn about these two terms and how they apply to us.

I'm not a Mamamoo stan, but they're one of the only groups that sing live so I've heard their real vocals. They're excellent. One of the groups I actually enjoy when sitting through award shows.
If I was being pulled out from rubble with no top on in front of ppl and cameras, I'd be damned grateful to anyone giving me a tshirt. That some ppl can't understand that this is the same situation for this woman is a failure of empathy.

I have no idea. I mean, Ron doesn't have writing credits on their other three number 1s. What does he think it means here? First it was we're manipulating. Now it's we're being manipulated. It's a puzzler.
Let’s talk sales. No matter what you see on predictions, this is too close. The ONLY thing that will save this is sales. We really do need to log no less than 15k orders of 8 over the next 2 days…ALL DOWNLOADED or the sale won’t count. No less. Are you up to the challenge?
@Agent_Snark
The way the system has always been corrupt, mysogenistic and racist, but some western fans feel the need to defend and justify it now because 875 and us are making them uneasy and they're more comfortable with the familiar, no matter how toxic it is.

I appreciate you acknowledging my points. If we're all playing the same game though, while some have advantages and others disadvantages, can you blame the disadvantaged for working harder and spending more to try and level the playing field? We always play within the rules.

Army were pissed at whole western industry at this point and just disappointed again that they always get used for views and clout but not respected or rewarded so many army called him out and were in his mentions for days. Articles were written agreeing with us.

BTS sold our the Rose bowl, MetLife and Wembley stadium with almost zero radio play while singing in Korean. If that's not organic, I don't know what is.

I get that you're trolling, but you're just one of tens of thousands of men who troll women for their interests daily. You're not original. You're not special. You're just another man poking us for fun. Must be Monday.

Similar? I've never heard either song. I just went and listened to both the whole way through. It's the same song from start to finish. The melody, the beat, the chord progression. I get that you're her fan, but you're going to need a different angle because this is a slam dunk.

Youre fans of a rapper who writes diss tracks and you're this sensitive? It's ridiculous. I haven't seen this level of self victimisation since Donald Trump.

@tombreihan
In many countries, radio isn't included towards the chart because it's such a poor marker of music consumption. It's heavily controlled and passive. As long as radio continues to be counted, I can't really see how fans actually buying music is manipulation.

Dynamite has 1.4 million. Never once heard an ARMY complain or blame a particular fandom even when it occured after wins and announcement. Maybe - and here's a guess - ppl watched it to see if it was good and didn't like it.

Angelina has given 1/3 of her salary to charity every single year for two decades. She was a UNHCR ambassador for refugees for over 10 years and is currently a UN envoy . Shes been to every war zone on earth, including Gaza and made films and written books. She's one of the most
@mitchgpollock
@tombreihan
Rather it's a measure of passion and engagement and isn't that a much fairer marker than the regular passive consumption touted as "what the country wants to hear".
There are very few things I know you be 100% as an ARMY, but one is: if you attack
@btschartdata
you are a straight up anti who hates every member of BTS, including the one you claim to love. It's that simple.

But how does that affect the songs chart position in any way? It was going number 1 with or without him as you pointed out. Dick Clarke did it as a quid pro quo. Ron here doesnt change the outcome in any way. Your entire article was about that.
*Apologies for omitting "The" in "The Kid LAROI" in the first tweet of the thread.
I've clarified with his main fanbase and he can be referred to just as "Laroi" in normal discussion, but goes by "The Kid LAROI" officially.

@JlNSONYEONDAN
Agreed, I think he was really worried it wouldn't look good. But it looks amazing. He seemed moved by the reaction. Hopefully that gives him some confidence.
"To freight a stage set across the world can cost up to three times the pre-pandemic price right now," Lorde continues. "I don't know shit about money, but I know enough to understand that no industry has a profit margin that high.""
