I hate this shit i hate that we can’t be genuinely disappointed without the conversation derailing so much into this weird sort of fucked up claim over the members. I hate that this fandom can’t ever have a fruitful conversation.
Metade da indústria tem foto ao lado do CB e de outros abusadores, inclusive mulheres famosas tiraram fotos ao lado dele.
Essa indignação toda é muito mais performática do que realmente sentida . Mais uma coisa é certa
o cancelamento só começa e acaba no BTS
it’s been around a week now and i usually don’t talk about things like this or bring this kind of stuff onto my account. but honestly, it’s gotten to a point where i’m starting to get tired of seeing it all over my timeline and trying to ignore it every time.
i’ve stayed quiet because i genuinely don’t have the energy to argue over this. if you’re disappointed, that is okay. if what happened changed the way you see someone, that is okay too. i am able to understand why some people reacted the way they did, even if i don’t personally feel the same way.
you are allowed to decide that something changed the way you see someone. i’m not going to tell anyone what they are or aren’t allowed to feel because it is not my place to do so, and neither is it anyone's.
but somewhere along the way, disappointment turned into something else entirely. what i don’t understand is how quickly it all has turned into this absolute hatred toward namjoon specifically. watching people who have spent years loving his music and talking about how much he has meant to them suddenly call him names and speak about him with so much contempt is honestly insane to me.
you can disagree with someone without deciding that everything they have ever said was fake. you can be disappointed without turning a person you’ve loved for years into a villain overnight. you can acknowledge that someone made a decision you don’t agree with while still remembering that they’re a human being whose entire life and personality cannot possibly be contained in one decision. especially someone you don't even know personally.
and with namjoon, some have spent years watching him grow, question himself, change, learn, make mistakes, create, reflect and constantly try to understand the world around him. we’ve heard him talk about his insecurities, his doubts, his relationship with fame, responsibility, art, music and overall the weight of being the person he is. we’ve watched him put so much of himself into the things he creates and shares with us that he never actually owed us in the first place.
those are actually one of the many things i’ve always admired about him. he has never seemed interested in presenting himself as some perfect person with all the answers. if anything, so much of his work comes from learning and trying to make sense of things.
and now i see people acting as though they have the complete picture of who he really is.
people are complicated. circumstances are complicated. growing up, different cultures, different generations and different experiences all shape how someone sees the world. not everything can be reduced to good person vs bad person, right vs wrong, or just "this proves everything about them." life is simply much more gray than just black and white.
he doesn’t stop being kim namjoon because the internet is angry with him. he doesn’t become a different person because people decided they no longer want to see him the way they did. and so many years of his life and the things he has shared with us don’t suddenly disappear because people are disappointed.
because behind all of it, he is still a person who is allowed to be imperfect. allowed to make decisions you wouldn’t make, allowed to have perspectives you don’t share and allowed to exist outside of what you expect from him.
you don’t have to forgive him. you don’t have to agree with him. you don’t even have to keep being his fan.
but you also don’t have to destroy him to prove that you’re disappointed.
i just hope that somewhere beneath all the noise he can always remember that there are still people who see him as a whole person and people who don’t expect him to be perfect, because no one could ever be.
i will always leave room for nuance. i will always leave room for things i don’t know. and most importantly, i will always remember that there is a human being behind all of this.

Let’s be fuckng serious. @PixelProject
RM didn’t ask to be on your fckng list. He didn’t submit himself for your approval. He didn’t endorse your organisation. So acting publicly “disappointed” because he went to a concert in his private time is performative as hell.
And the hypocrisy is impossible to miss. Chris Brown’s 2009 domestic violence case was public and he pleaded guilty to felony assault against Rihanna. Yet Bãd Bun̈nÿ brought him onstage in 2018, and you still named him your #2 Role Model in 2024. But RM takes ONE photo on his private day off and suddenly your remember your principles?
The funniest part? Your own previous reasoning for recognizing Namjoon was his willingness to learn from criticism, educate himself through women’s and gender studies, consult a professor about his lyrics, and speak about gender equality.
So don't rewrite his entire history because one pic doesn't fit the narrative you are selling today.
You used Namjoon’s name, turned a private moment into public content, dragged ARMY into it, and then followed it with a donation appeal.
That isn't accountability. That's using an artist you don't represent to generate attention, traffic and money.
You don't get to monetize RM's name and fandom while pretending you are the authority on his morals.
Fuckng Clean up your own contradictions first.
Realmente a decepção é compreensível, mas vocês estão agindo como se mais de dez anos sendo pessoas incríveis fosse tudo mentira. Esses extremismos de vocês que arruínam esse fandom.
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.
Saw a tweet that " i cant believe that it is the same namjoon who wrote RPWP"
Girl he wrote that album exactly for the people like you have you ever listened to his album seriously 😩
I wanted to believe that these people were genuinely criticizing 🐨 because they cared about the issue. But after seeing nothing but misinformation, insults, and them teaming up with his nastiest antis these past few days, I just can’t take their concerns seriously anymore
