I’ll say it again:
I’ve been here almost a decade. The goal was always to “make BTS untouchable.” That was never about them getting validation from any institution. It was about them having freedom to make decisions like this one because their success gives them power.
im so fucking glad bts finally decided they didn't need that table anymore but jesus christ the fact they got pushed this far makes me feel physically sick
Anyone wondering why kpop stans don't have the same heat/urgency for idols' enlistment anymore it's because it was always only driven by hate for BTS. Literally. That & desperately wanting them out of the picture so their idols could have a shot
Ngomongin segala rasis. Tp gak sadar, fandomnya suka bawa² Grammy utk ngerendahin idol lain.
Mana pas masuk nominasi langsung rame² buat display name Grammy lagi 🤣
what actually makes me laugh the most is kpop stans actually believing that the category will be entirely composed of kpop groups and one of those kpop groups will win. when that category ends up going to a japanese artist or literally anyone other than a kpop group i will laugh
to those who still don’t get it, the recording academy expect asian artists to convince them that they made “meaningful use” of their OWN mother tongue. artists who don’t sing in english need to degrade themselves in order to be seen as part of the mainstream. that’s disgusting.
blackpink fans laughing at bts for this decision does not surprise me cause blackpink will be at the frontlines celebrating segregation if it means they get to have a chance to win an award they don’t deserve
I hope yall realize how much courage it takes to willingly give up on a 100% chance to win awards just to show the world that good music should be respected and listened to without any labels. THIS is what we call paving the way
It’s so sad seeing Asians defending the new category and berating BTS for their statement.
This new category was never made to give artists from Asia representation. It was made precisely to keep Asian artists OUT of Grammy conversations.
i dont think y’all realize how fucking cool it is to just openly announce you are not submitting for the grammys because of their mistreatment. it takes a lot to have that kind of courage. they said FUCK that racist organization. BTS are truly the most inspiring artists ever
adele is not american yet she beat beyonce in 2017. why didn’t they make a british grammy for her ? why did they make a traditional country category when beyonce won? “asian” is even not a genre and it’s not just limited to kpop. segregating music by ethnicity is fucking WEIRD
