I don't wanna see SHIT about "poor Perez Hilton" that man stalked and harassed Lady Gaga, bullied a 13 year old, and posted a naked picture of 17 year old Miley Cyrus.
But I thought bts didn’t pave the way. I thought bts did nothing for Asian music. In fact according to svt stans bts are not even the biggest artists in hybe.
So how exactly is their decision going to affect the Asian artists y’all claim are much better than them?
seventeen has quite literally never took a stand or stood up for anything in a significant way once in their career so i’m not surprised you’d think BTS being openly against the recording academy’s xenophobia and racism is something to be ashamed of
"they can always apply for other categories"
they know. they were about to. all the producers were ready. until that category appeared & their values with you, @RecordingAcad didn’t align anymore. hence, they stepped away, respectfully. ask your staff to stop crashing out.
"We hope that music can be heard and loved for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language."
pretty much a direct fuck you to this bullshit ostracism they're starting next year
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
