“if hybe wasn’t insecure abt new jeans, if stray kids debuted first, if bap didn’t go on hiatus, if sm prioritized exo in the west.”
everyday there’s a new theory from kpop stans about how their group could’ve had bts’s success. next it’s gonna be, “if bts didn’t exist.” 😭
@aerilowkey Because popularity and global popularity aren’t the same thing. Global 200 tells you how a song is doing worldwide, while the Hot 100 shows how it’s performing in the biggest music market.
@pictureubroken@minkookphile@ZorosNut@xuvisions Wrong. It’s not sensitivity. I was just pointing out when something’s a comparison dressed up as a joke. People love calling everything parasocial these days without actually understanding the term 😭
@pictureubroken@minkookphile@ZorosNut@xuvisions Then why bring it up as a comparison in a BTS achievement post in the first place? So it’s “a joke” when it’s about BTS fans, but a full correction and defense when it’s about 5sos
@pictureubroken@minkookphile@ZorosNut@xuvisions You literally said
they’re insufferable they’ll literally hate anything if a slight diss against their favs is mentioned UNDER a post which is clearly posting a comparison they know will provoke arguments between fandoms
