Sharing an ARMY’s post from Weverse because I was moved by her love and sincerity:
“I’m feeling a bit sad today, so I’d like to talk here, maybe because I’ve always felt comfortable enough with BTS to let my voice flow freely.
I’ve been in the fandom for many years. I’ve defended the members from many things that have happened, and I’ve understood and supported them when they decided to share their perspectives on various issues, including the fandom's own attitudes. I was all ears for you for years, always trying to understand you and change what you didn’t like about us.
That’s why today, I’d like you to listen to me.
I joined this fandom because I always felt that BTS genuinely cared about listening to us, that your words and actions were authentic, and that I had found a place where I could feel understood. I’ve always believed you are good people, and I still do; otherwise, I wouldn’t be posting this.
I don’t blame you for the things CB has done. I find him despicable, and I’ve always felt nothing but disgust and repulsion toward him. He has done horrible things for which, obviously, no member of BTS is to blame, and which I am certain you would never condone. However, I can’t overlook the fact that giving him visibility through concert stories and photos feels like a huge mistake. Even if you don’t intend to, that content reaches thousands of people and ends up cleaning the image of someone who doesn't deserve it and who should be far away from the stage. I don’t believe that was your intention, but sometimes we do things that trigger consequences we don't foresee, even if it wasn't our goal. And it’s okay to ask ourselves if that’s the image we want to project, if that’s the effect we want to create.
I get it, nobody is perfect, and I’m not saying otherwise. I think we all have our own contradictions, but I personally like it when people point mine out so I can grow and become a better person. BTS has said many times that you’d love ARMY to be the kind of fandom that doesn't put you on a pedestal, allowing you to make mistakes and learn from them.
I know you would love to live a normal life where everything you do isn't judged by thousands of people, but unfortunately, that’s not the reality, and the decisions you make carry a lot of weight. If a person like CB continues to be respected in the industry and keeps filling stadiums, it’s because many people choose to ignore what he did and pretend it never happened. But it did happen, and none of it can be erased. And it hurts me deeply that you chose to look the other way. You are not to blame for what CB did, nor are you the only ones supporting him, but it hurts particularly with you because you are people I love and hold in high regard. Many people can do something I consider wrong, but it will always hurt more coming from a friend, my family, or you in this case. Not because I hold you to a different standard, but because I hold a deep affection for you. I suppose you can understand that feeling; it also hurts you when ARMY makes mistakes, and you also expect a lot from us because you know us and love us.
This doesn't erase all the support women have received from you, I do NOT believe any of that was performative. I believe in you, I believe you are good people, but I also believe good people can make mistakes, and I think you made one here. I know that you, as men, have no idea what we as women go through, and that’s why I’d like you to understand how painful it is for us to see people like CB continue to receive love and applause despite having caused so much harm to some of us. It feels so lonely and desolate, as if music mattered more than our lives and our integrity.” (Cont)
e quando chegar outubro e eu estiver na pinacoteca e encontrar o namjoon disfarçado e em vez de puxar assunto sobre arte fingindo não saber quem ele é para ele se apaixonar por mim, eu tiver que recitar a cypher 5 que eu mesma compus pra ele
una brasilera dijo q no se trata de q simplemente fueron al concierto sino q usaron sus redes e influencia (construida por mujeres) para darle visibilidad y trasmitir la normalización de consumir a un abusador y es creo que el punto perfecto de la explicación del pacto patriarcal
so chris brown calls an army a hoe and your first instinct is to blame namseok? GO call out the man who actually insuIted her. drag the heII out of HIM.
