i think what we’re witnessing rn is bts coming back to a world that got a LOT more outspoken about social issues while they were away. people found stronger convictions, drew harder lines and expect more from public figures now.
and it kinda sucks that part of the problem is they have spent years showing us they’re genuinely good people. some of the best. it’s a huge reason so many of us are here beyond the music. but somehow that’s created this impossible standard where one misstep becomes a complete moral indictment of who they are.
and yeah, sometimes it hurts MORE when someone you believe is good does something shitty. be disappointed. call the thing shitty. stand by your convictions. but they’re still whole, flawed people capable of fucking up and growing, and at this point the punishment has gone so far beyond the actual offense that the reaction itself has become deranged.
