BTS will make its Toronto debut at Rogers Stadium with two sold-out shows this weekend, nearly eight years after playing three sold-out nights in Hamilton. https://t.co/qYJgd7YJqR
Its funny how moral merchants keep chanting bts are ruining their reputation meanwhile its them who is doing everything in their power to ruin all their hardwork.
Spreading malicious misinformation, siding with the vilest antis and contacting everybody and their mothers to make bad posts about them
Yall tried it in 2024 try it in 2026 too lets see how far you can take it lol
the pixel project’s decision to remove joon from their campaign isn’t real activism, it’s pure performative pr from what it looks like.
while holding public figures accountable is a key part of advocacy, targeting a south korean artist while completely ignoring western figures who have committed the same thing holds a double standard.
bashing non western artists while giving western celebrities a free pass reveals a distinct layer of bias within these organizations.
selective moral enforcement isn’t about standing up for values, it’s low risk damage control designed to look good online.
when an initiative applies its rules unevenly based on who is easiest to make an example of, it stops being advocacy and becomes xenophobic and fake. consistency is the bare minimum for real progress and performative activism is not it.
Jimin from BTS made a young fan's night by giving her a hug during a weekend concert in Arlington, Texas.
Olivya, who has cancer, was invited to attend the concert as a VIP, along with several fellow patients and their families. https://t.co/ZaWWCASIIR
3rd show and my first time actually seeing them walk the Idol parade with my own eyes. All 3 shows, I was in row 12 or 13 and I finally got to see them without interferance.
Mr. Harvey, public is criticizing @RecordingAcad coz this category exposes what the academy still lack: cultural literacy, trust, transparency & the courage to let non western music compete without shrinking it first.
You can not call that celebration. #ArtHasNoAliens
RA now playing the victim card & making us look evil. Bruh it was YOUR member who admitted in creating that category who even accused of 875 of doing "press"
It was YOUR members who targeted 875 over & over & tried to exclude them stfu .@RecordingAcad
Did GRAMMYS have a change of heart? No. The magic word here is STAKEHOLDERS: the people who stand to lose money because BTS said no. BTS's decision not to be tools in someone else's toolbox has BIG monetary ramifications, and the stakeholders need GRAMMYs to fix it.
— "Collapsed because of BTS"… Grammys on boycott: "Action for media attention"
"Recently, Zeena Koda, an official from the Recording Academy, which organizes the Grammys, explained the rationale behind the establishment of the category via her social media, stating, "We were brought down by one of the most influential Asian artists," adding, "It is unfortunate that they could have engaged in more meaningful conversations behind the scenes instead of acting to gain media attention."
This has drawn criticism that he effectively downplayed BTS's refusal to submit as a mere attempt to attract media attention. Controversy persists, particularly because he reacted strongly to the boycott, contrary to his explanation that the category in question was not created with BTS in mind."

Hey @RecordingAcad
When ur "volunteers" publicly accuse artists, who respectfully refuse to submit their music for the Grammys, of doing so "for press", WE, the "social media users" & MUSIC LISTENERS, have the right to ask questions
Stop downplaying valid criticism as bullying
