Interesting… You’re actually proving my point. You brought up my 55K followers because you understand that having a platform comes with influence, yet you expect men with millions of followers to be exempt from criticism over a public choice.

That is contradictory. I never said they weren’t allowed to attend. I said their choice deserves criticism, which I’m free to express just as they were free to go.

Parasocialism is also being thrown around far too loosely because people watched a few TikToks and now use the word to dismiss any criticism of a celebrity.

Having an opinion about a public figure’s public actions is not parasocial.

Feeling the need to protect grown men from reasonable criticism is far closer to it.

"Our biggest voice, bts army" well I hope that u listen to this voice and understand our disappointment

[blossom @honeybeejimin]

i think a lot of y'all don't know just HOW bad of a person chris brown is. his abuse did not end with rihanna. it was not a one time thing. he has almost killed women and has consistently abused women with extreme violence for his ENTIRE career

[hanan⁷ @santrasuga]

sometimes i feel blue but then i remember atleast im not writing paragraphs defending men on the internet

[vera saw BTS @veraba_writes]

you should always, ALWAYS prioritize being a decent human being over being a fan. and it applies to both bts and us

[bun ₍ᐢ. .ᐢ₎ 𐒡 ♡🍉 @namutreelover]

Mind you, this is exactly of rape culture is propagated. Men think that their association with abusers is okay just because they don’t do the same acts of violence. While not realizing that being friends with abusers UPLIFTS THEM, and makes the victims less safe.

[mar⁷ @marmkive]

the positive side of all this bullshit is that most armys on twt and even on weverse don’t agree with what namjoon and hoseok did and have even spoken up to hold them accountable. it makes me happy to see maturity within our fandom. love you fam

[ᨒ Cap @wooziwonu]

one last thing: Namjoon and Hope aren't going to see your tweets defending them, and Chris Brown won't see the excuses you made for him... but your mutuals who have gone through domestic violence or abusive relationships WILL.

[Meh!⁷ (Tamatem 🍅) @bangtanbae22]

So we're gonna remove songs from the setlist because a convicted abuser worked on them but we don't see the irony of attending another convicted abuser concert? Make it make sense 😭?

An Open Letter to BTS

[colonel kickass⁷ loves nas ♡ (kind of ia) @Basic_Fangurl]

so many of you don't want to put your morals above consumption, so you probably don’t get how humiliating it feels to spend your adult life loudly supporting artists whose entire brand is built on feminism, social causes, dissent, love, only to wake up to a notification of them+

[Lilly ⁷ 🇵🇸 A Woman 1st @sweetcrazyjoon]

“BTS can’t apologize because then they’ll have to acknowledge that Chris Brown is an abuser and they don’t want beef with Chris Brown.”

IF THEY CAN HANDLE BEING AT ODDS WITH THE GRAMMYS THEN THEY CAN HANDLE BEING AT ODDS WITH CHRIS BROWN!

[maddox⁷ 🐹💖❤️‍🔥🐱 @maddox87_]

It's kinda hypocritical to stop performing one of the most fun songs in your discography because it, allegedly, has a "misogynistic" message about women, and then happily go to an abuser's show like your fandom is not made up of 90% women. Explain.

[Lilly ⁷ 🇵🇸 A Woman 1st @sweetcrazyjoon]

“Stop coming at them with anger! You can be constructive but don’t take it farther than that”

Hey just a thought, maybe women should be allowed to be angry and express that anger when they feel betrayed and have lost what was once their safe space

[jimin’s eye smile @pjunngkook]

i feel like we as a fandom have suffered a set back of years after that whole boycott x antiboycott discourse yall are terrified of being categorized as either too woke or too parasocial and thats eating away your personality and critical thinking

[mikoo❤️‍🔥 @Kooprettybun97]

I'm from South asia a very teeny tiny country which is far from being acquainted with west, even i knew about his crimes when i was a teenager, how celebrities avoided him back then
And BTS Don't have any idea about this criminal?

[mj⁷ in JIMTOBER @hobicoreography]

btw if there’s any doubt in your mind about whether chris brown is problematic or “how bad” it is - THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT LITERALLY WONT LET HIM INTO THE COUNTRY TO DO A TOUR because endorsing him = endorsing violence against women

[Hone⁷ saw bts x3 😭✊🏼 @idgafjjk]

My cousin died so terribly at the hands of an abuser…. I love BTS so much, but it’s so hard for me not to get triggered by this

[🏐 ♡ paris !! ⁷ ꪜ . ࣪𖤐 IS SEEING BTS X5 @jooniekisser]

i’m a domestic violence victim. i refuse to sit here &watch people minimise, separate art from artist & refuse to hold musicians i love accountable when they fuck up. i wasn’t ok when they played his music & im not gonna ignore them going to his concert. women’s rights trump all.
