Ro armys 🇷🇴 , lets talk about getting tickets🙏🏼 first of all, trebuie sa aveti pregatit un card care are 3d security (va cere un cod pe telefon cand le cumparati) si sa aveti deja cont facut pe ticketmaster cu toate datele personale si datele cardului

people need to understand that snarking is a right wing tool, it kills your empathy and makes you more susceptible to propaganda, divide and conquer, reason why no one will ever be good enough for the internet

[val⁷ @btsflowery]

kpop stans rlly think they can rewrite history

[karina ✵ @ibyuntofu]

they’re not gonna like this one

[val⁷ @btsflowery]

@kwanvboos @visualdreans well there was no petitioning from armys so thats a piece of information this person invented. im not sure whats not clear to you. and the same thing can be said back to yall lmao you already have ur version of reality so no other possibility can be real

[💜⁷ 2.0 @danilovesbts]

there’s a lot to unpack here. as someone who is black american and was here during BLM i’ll just say that during that time there were a lot of armys who put a lot of unnecessary pressure on the guys to speak out. once they did a lot of people (mostly kpop stans and boycotters!) turned it into a controversy by insinuating it was just a pr strategy. later boycotters then have weaponized it to claim that the guys are political and civil rights activists. over time many who have internalized hatred towards the US and black americans specifically have used it and other examples of the guys showing their respect for black american culture and working with black american artists/songwriters/producers as a way to expresses their distain towards black armys.

some people are resentful towards black armys and view any acknowledgment that black armys feel from the guys and respect for our culture as an attack or slight against them.

i’ve always said there is deeply rooted anti-blackness within this fandom and it always resurfaces whenever the guys speak positively about the US, black american culture and/or work with black musicians within the industry.

[🐝 IS SEEING BTS⁷ x2 @Ianzhans_]

when he first mentioned it, i immediately understood what he meant but to see people misconstruct his words is so disheartening

[Ravaprawnfry (3J) @feat_d0m0dachi]

@1verse9 All the while Joon is just talking about a work life balance post-military. I just wish they were genuine about their disappointment without twisting his words. Be disappointed in him for not addressing the situation but don't take advantage of the lang barrier for your agenda.

[♡ @amlysbang]

if we genuinely want to preserve BTS's legacy, we need to become more organised, disciplined and intentional about how we contribute.

i think there are FIVE major areas we need to focus on. these are the areas that need consistent effort, and people can choose where their skills and interests are best suited.

1. FACT-CHECKERS / RESEARCH & CORRECTION

we need people who actively monitor misinformation surrounding BTS and correct it with credible information, evidence and sources. the approach needs to be factual, composed and professional. no whining, no emotional arguments, no fanwars and absolutely no personal attacks. if you come across misinformation, address it with facts. provide context, cite sources and make accurate information accessible. the objective is to correct the narrative, not to win arguments with people who have no intention of listening.

2. BTS MUSIC & ART ADVOCATES

we need people who are willing to enter broader music conversations and talk about BTS's artistry. this requires people who are musically informed, confident in discussing music and emotionally prepared to encounter racist, xenophobic or dismissive remarks without being provoked into unnecessary arguments.

talk about their songwriting, production, composition, vocals, rap, performances, discography and artistic evolution. bring BTS into conversations about music itself. compare and contextualise their work alongside other artists and genres where relevant. the point is to make people engage with BTS as musicians and artists, beyond the usual K-pop conversations.

3. CHART, DATA & ARCHIVAL ACCOUNTS

we need people who actively document and preserve BTS's achievements, records, statistics and chart history.

i want us to start presenting these achievements within the broader music industry wherever the categories accurately apply. talk about first male artist, first group, first Korean group, records held by artists globally and achievements in the wider music landscape. stop unnecessarily confining every achievement to a K-pop context.

we need proper documentation, updated statistics, reliable sources and accounts dedicated to preserving this information.

4. BTS HISTORY, DOCUMENTATION & ORIGINAL CONTENT

we need people who actively revisit, document and discuss BTS's original content. their interviews, documentaries, behind-the-scenes footage, archived conversations, original productions, career milestones and historical material.

there is so much information about BTS as artists that deserves to be revisited, documented and made accessible. we need people who can bring attention back to these materials, contextualise them, highlight important moments in their careers and preserve their stories for newer generations of fans and anyone discovering BTS in the future.

5. COMMUNITY, FUN & POSITIVE AMPLIFICATION

and just as importantly, we need people who keep the fun alive. people who share funny RUN BTS clips, hilarious moments, edits, compilations, iconic interactions, memorable performances and all the little things that make being an ARMY enjoyable.

we need to create an environment where people can celebrate BTS, laugh together, share their favourite memories and enjoy being part of this community without every conversation revolving around hate, controversy or fanwars.

positive amplification matters too. let's give BTS and ARMY something enjoyable to engage with every day.

NOW, WHAT CAN WE ACTUALLY DO?

go into your GCs with trusted mutuals. discuss these 5 areas & figure out where each person can contribute best. choose one category and take responsibility for it.

i can personally help with the positive amplification / praising side of things. and if anyone here is interested in volunteering with me to enter broader music spaces and discuss BTS's artistry, i'm more than willing to create a separate GC for that.

i just asked “why instead of just attacking bts we try to unite to do something positive” and i was met with so much retaliation that had people celebrating on my quotes when my job was on strike and i couldn’t afford basic necessities because i was a “hitl3r apologist”

[ami⁷ @bwihopie]

mind you the LOUDEST voices were people with takes that were built around disingenuous statements against namseok. forgive us for only seeing them? mind you those tweets are still up with 40-50k likes and started a mass exodus on namseok/bts’s entire character when the situation was not that deep to become an entire stain on their reputation

[Mimi ⁷ @d_aydreami]

some of those armys are acting really disenginouis so let me just list up all the crash outs we had. •nj wearing a shirt with whitney houston reference: yall proceeded to say he is mocking yall and he is somehow trying to apologize with the shirt and how he sucks because of it

as truth, no proof needed, no nuance, nothing. the easier it is for someone to harass a person/group the more miserable fandom is for everyone involved & yes this does still apply even if you think the person/group is/are annoying I know that one is hard but come on

[rj🍉🇱🇧🗝️🔑 @nonprophet123]

and yes even if it's from your trusted mutuals because they probably didn't look it up either. I've seen multiple cases where people either outright lie or lie by omitting heinous shit and that version spreads because everyone asks "what happened?" and accepts whatever answer

[rj🍉🇱🇧🗝️🔑 @nonprophet123]

if someone online is trying to convince you of something negative about a person/group, you NEED to go to the source and see it for yourself. what really happened, what actually was said, the context surrounding things, etc. do not play a game of telephone with online strangers
