@baepsayed @o_biennis So I guess the choice w/ the eligibility criteria is stay in your lane language-wise (and never get on radio/GP outlets in the US) (but have a chance at a Grammy nod) or include (too much) English and face racist, xenophobic gatekeepers in main Grammy categories. It’s so gross.

[Christine @4casc]

@baepsayed @o_biennis It reminds me of that awful NYT Jon C Popcast episode where Jon and his anonymous anti guest said JK singing in English was a step to far and a rejection of what made BTS so good in the past 😡

[bee⁷ @starboykkyu]

@nytimes @Spotify @spotifypodcasts The guest saying that BTS singing in English was “a step too far.”

@baepsayed @o_biennis Not saying that I love the song AT ALL. Just thinking about that song vs. neva play vs. eligibility criteria. Sigh.

@cypherluscious The eligibility criteria make it even worse. Who are the Grammy’s to gatekeep language or ethnicity? Or even to assess merit? This strikes me as a deeply ignorant, racist and xenophobic take. https://t.co/ua03EE6IcG

[Christine @4casc]

@baepsayed @o_biennis My take: Asia is not a monolith. “Asian pop” is not a genre. Who are the Grammy’s to gatekeep language or ethnicity? (Or even to assess the artistic merit of eligible works for that matter?). This strikes me as a deeply ignorant take.

[Christine @4casc]

@baepsayed @o_biennis What do you make of official eligibility criteria? https://t.co/ua03EE6IcG

Conan O'Brien says he has "incredible empathy for people who have immigrated to another country" after traveling to Ireland and seeing his great-grandfather lived.

"I went back to Ireland and I [saw] a great genealogist who said, 'I found where your great-grandfather’s home was.' The home is gone, but he found the little spot where he lived, near the Galbally Mountains. He said, 'I’ll go there and show it to you,' and I said, 'We’ll do it on camera.'

"I was expecting to have these jokes loaded up; we had props and funny things we were going to do... But I got there, and I did not expect this because I'm not someone who wears my emotions on my sleeve, but I got emotional. It was very powerful.

"This was a very small plot of land. He was a tenant farmer, so it wasn't his. He didn't have money, and he needed to move on because it wasn't working; probably not enough to eat, couldn't sustain. So, he left and went to America, and here I am a couple of generations later.

"What's amazing to me is when you have that experience and you stand there, I have incredible empathy for people who have immigrated to another country. It takes an entire lifetime to go to a country where, often, people don't speak the language. They have to spend their entire lives just getting things started for the next generation; it's a whole lifetime that you're feeding into this process.

"I was just thinking about this guy, whom I'll never meet, who had to do that. I think I was overcome by the fact that there's a lot of sadness in that story, and in a lot of these stories. People leave not because they think, 'Hey, I just want to go have fun in America.' They leave because they have to."

"It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help... If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite."

@o_biennis Sean Lim of @/theseoulite appears to be a Trumper/ maga dude also.

[아포방포⁷ ⟭⟬E ARE B⟬⟭CK BTS is 7 @lbartsch]

I’m so disappointed that I have to block @theseoulite for being a maga dude. 😩

[아포방포⁷ ⟭⟬E ARE B⟬⟭CK BTS is 7 @lbartsch]

I should have said, “members & our fandom,” & I should’ve checked my spelling 🤣. But I mean it. Don’t speak for me & don’t speak for them. You have no right & if you don’t see what’s wrong with what’s happening here then you’re ignorant, uninformed & that’s a kind interpretation

[아포방포⁷ ⟭⟬E ARE B⟬⟭CK BTS is 7 @lbartsch]

Congrats to @BTS_twt ‘s RM for Persona getting to 100M! And right now the lyrics seem line a really appropriate comment on some who seek to use him and the members’ names for their own benefit.

@lbartsch @rafranzdavis I want to boost @lbartsch’s comments here b/c she is right. The intellectual property issues here are nuanced, and include copyright, trademark, and false association for starters.
