Never downplay what this fandom has done for Bangtan. Hindi magkakaroon ng Swimside event na ’yan kung hindi dahil sa mga numero (streams) na pinaghirapan ng mga tinatawag ninyong “toxic” at “chart-obsessed” fans.
Those numbers didn’t just appear out of nowhere—they came from consistent effort, time, and dedication. Hindi lang basta “trip” ang streaming at voting; organized, strategic, at collective effort ’yan ng fandom.
At kung titingnan nyo mismo yung event, it literally exists because of fan engagement. Brands like Spotify don’t just create large-scale fan events randomly—they base it on data, demand, at kung gaano ka-active ang audience.
Kaya nakakatawa na mina-mock ninyo yung streaming culture, pero kayo rin yung nakikinabang sa results nito. Yung events, visibility, hype, at opportunities—lahat ’yan rooted sa parehong effort na dini-dismiss ninyo.
We, PH ARMY, didn’t just “show up”—WE built this momentum. From streaming parties, fanbase coordination, hanggang sa pag-push ng numbers globally, that’s what made the Philippines a viable stop for something like #SpotifyBTSSWIMSIDEManila
So no, hindi siya simpleng “optional fan behavior” lang na pwedeng i-dismiss. Because without those “numbers”, those “streaming and voting activities” you keep downplaying, wala ring ganitong level of recognition, engagement, and events in the first place.
Generally speaking, this is what happens when you don’t need to work hard for things that others work so hard for. You probably already have a secured seat, and some meet and greet time with BTS because of your influence, and that’s good for you. But you should have sat this one out—you don’t get to tell people to touch some grass when they fight tooth and nail for a fraction of what you have that they also rightfully deserve.
This is no different when the poor call out injustices and inequalities in the government and rich people say “sumunod na lang kayo” or when fanatics say “kayo na lang mag-presidente” — so no, you and your privileged friends should have just shut up. If you’re not willing to fight the fight for injustice with the people, the least you can do is not mock and downplay it by telling them to “touch some grass.”
And before anybody comes at me saying “it’s not that serious” — but it is, because this clearly shows how corrupted the system is and how these misguided takes are the very reason why we never progress. This is applicable in as simple as fangirling to as big as how this country treats the oppressed, to how this government gets away with their shitty doings.
Touch some grass, she says, the one living in such green, green pastures. 🙃
We’re calling out an unfair system here, especially with ticketing coming up. What do you mean this keeps happening over and over again? Of course, privileged people won’t understand, that’s exactly why the justice system in the Philippines feels so messed up. How is it that when you call out unfair system, you’re the one who ends up being in the wrong?
Anyway, to all the ARMYs who keep supporting BTS through streaming and voting hugss and tap your back 🫂 we're giving the boys what they deserve, just as they make us happy. Hopefully, karma will take care of those privileged people. Lahat ng bagay may balik 😏
