something very insidious about how resistance efforts are always dismissed on basis of supposed inefficacy. self-immolation "won't make a difference," boycotting "won't make a difference," violent resistance by palestinians "won't make a difference." why is this the focus?

the implication is always that BTS fans will only care when BTS is mentioned. meanwhile, so many of us seek inspiration and relief from online fandom community and from BTS because we are constantly dealing with oppression in our own lives

aside from the fact sports stans are by and large way more violent and disrespectful than music stans, this also just isn't true at all bc sports stans half the time don't even care about the sport. they care about teams and players, and defend them like their lives depend on it
