Its funny how 2 major cases are enough to scare men of marriage but when 1200 cases against women are recorded daily, suddenly they are told “not all men", hypocrisy is loud and clear.
Bruce spent years after Endgame trying to build a normal life, make peace with himself, and actually control the Hulk. Then Jean takes over his body and forces all that old trauma back to the surface.
By the end, he’s back to Savage Hulk and ends up hospitalized for psychiatric help. Jean gets her redemption, but Bruce basically loses years of healing because of what happened to him. That’s honestly one of the saddest parts of the movie.
mj stronger than me because if the man behind the mask were a roughed up gorgeous miserable man who's giving me puppy eyes i would’ve pretended i remembered him like omg yes… peter parker ❤️❤️❤️
“I don’t understand why women don’t just report it if it really happened.”
When I was 19, I reported mine. I had bruises. Hospital photos. Text messages of him apologizing the next morning. My friends drove me to the station because I could barely stop shaking. I thought evidence would make it simple. I thought truth would be enough.
Months later, I was the one on trial. His lawyer printed my Instagram photos and held them up in court. Asked why I wore crop tops. Asked why I drank that night. Asked why I didn’t scream louder. He replayed my police interview and pointed out every time I hesitated, every time I cried, every time my timeline wasn’t perfectly linear. “If it was traumatic,” he said, “why can’t she remember clearly?”
Sitting there while strangers debated my pain like it was a group project felt like being stripped again. My messages were projected on a screen. My body was described in detail. My character was picked apart like that was the real crime.
He walked out on bail. I walked out with panic attacks.
That’s why some women don’t report. Because even with bruises. Even with screenshots. Even when you do everything “right.” You still have to survive the assault twice, once in private, and once in public, just to maybe be believed.
And things like this is why women should never shut the fuck up about anything ever because at one point it literally used to result in shit like this. Use your freedoms more, don’t let some piece of shit loser man silence you, ever. SPEAK UP.
I'm just reminded how many people ignored or disliked the BE album even though it was their most authentic and an album they were mostly involved in at that time and now looking at people complaining about arirang and the lack of korean and this is why I don't bother anymore.
BTS naming their 5th studio album ARIRANG is not a casual or aesthetic choice.
For anyone unfamiliar, Arirang is one of the most important cultural songs in Korean history. Arirang is often described as Korea’s unofficial national anthem, not because a government declared it so, but because it has been carried by the Korean people for centuries. There isn’t just one version; there are hundreds of regional Arirangs, passed down orally, each reflecting local history, hardship, and resilience.
At its core, Arirang is a song about separation and longing - about crossing a hill, parting from someone you love, enduring difficulty, and continuing forward anyway. It is not triumphant or loud. It is restrained, dignified, and deeply human.
During Japanese colonial rule, when Korean language and identity were suppressed, Arirang became a song of quiet resistance. People sang it when they could not openly speak. It carried grief, defiance, and identity in a way that could survive censorship.
After the Korean War and the division of the peninsula, Arirang took on another layer of meaning, unresolved separation. Families divided. Borders closed. Futures interrupted. Importantly, both North and South Korea recognise Arirang as theirs. That alone speaks volumes.
In 2000, at the Sydney Olympics, athletes from North and South Korea marched together under a unified flag, walking to Arirang. Not a political anthem. Not a state symbol. A people’s song. For many Koreans, that moment was overwhelmingly emotional.
When BTS choose ARIRANG as an album title, it signals something much deeper than nostalgia or tradition. It aligns them with endurance, collective memory, quiet strength, and dignity through hardship.
And it’s impossible to separate this choice from the way BTS and ARMY have moved together over the years.
There were sustained attempts to diminish, divide, and discredit BTS. Moments where people insisted the group was “finished,” especially during the period of group hiatus, when absence was misread as weakness and separation was framed as collapse.
But BTS never responded with noise. They stayed measured. Silent when needed. Focused. Dignified. They trusted time, and they trusted ARMY.
And ARMY stayed. Loud when necessary. Steady when it mattered. Holding the line, correcting misinformation, supporting each member, and refusing narratives designed to fracture what was never broken.
That quiet resilience - artists enduring, supporters remaining - mirrors the very spirit of Arirang itself.
I’m sharing this with care and respect, as someone outside of Korean heritage, because this name deserves context. A context that I was encouraged to learn for myself as their ARMY over this last decade. Because BTS have consistently rooted their work in identity, memory, and the lived experiences of people who endure and continue to move forward.
If anything, ARIRANG should reminds us that BTS don’t just make music. They carry lineage. And they walk forward. They NEVER WALK ALONE.
As always, Korean voices should be centred, and I encourage listening to Koreans sharing their own history and perspectives.
