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.

[rinee⁷ @yoonbooby_7]

i'm sooooooo tired of these americans. asking two asian dudes to take accountability for something their fellow american did. why your homie still have a successful career if you're that concerned about accountability? hypocrites!

[Indigo Gwen⁷⁼¹ Saw BTS ⊙⊝⊜ @ARMY4LIFE84]

Cancel me. Block me. Screenshot every post I make. Tell people I am a horrible person. I dgaf.
But I refuse to punish Namjoon and Hobi for the crimes of another man. I refuse to punish them when I don't think they did anything wrong.

[Indigo Gwen⁷⁼¹ Saw BTS ⊙⊝⊜ @ARMY4LIFE84]

I loved them yesterday. I love them today. I will love them tomorrow. I love them for who they are and not who I want them to be.

[Bear⁷⋆⊙⊖⊜⋆ ia @Tulip7bts]

Anyways, Thank you Namjoon and Hoseok for the very well needed fandom cleansing.

[Indigo Gwen⁷⁼¹ Saw BTS ⊙⊝⊜ @ARMY4LIFE84]

In this Bangtan shit for life because I never expected them to be perfect. I always expected them to be human and they haven't done anything that rises to the level of changing how I feel about them as people.

[Jantar The Botman🪼 @Jantar127]

The immediate backlash online against some of the BTS members J-Hope and Namjoon simply for attending an R&B concert and taking a picture with Chris Brown is a prime example of internet moral policing gone completely overboard. The toxic narrative trying to paint two grown men as suddenly "problematic" or "supporting abuse" because they met up with a massive musical contemporary is exhausting, hypocritical, and completely disconnected from how the entertainment industry works.

As a critic of this performative outrage, it is time to inject some reality and nuance into the conversation.

1. It is About the Music, Period
J-Hope and RM are, first and foremost, world-class musical artists, dancers, and hip-hop/R&B fans. Chris Brown, regardless of his highly publicized and heavily scrutinized personal history, is undeniably one of the most influential dancers and R&B performers of this generation.

•For J-Hope, a dancer who has dedicated his life to hip-hop choreography, witnessing the Usher and Chris Brown R&B Tour live is purely a matter of professional appreciation.

•Taking a photo backstage with a peer or a major global artist at a concert is standard industry behavior. It is not a political endorsement, nor is it a stamp of approval on anyone's personal mistakes.

2. The Hypocrisy of Selective Outrage
The internet loves to treat BTS like they live in an isolated bubble where they must maintain a flawless, untouchable moral standard that no other Western artist is forced to uphold.

•Major Western artists across the entire music industry including Rihanna herself, who later collaborated and reconciled with Chris Brown have worked with, hung out with, or publicly praised him.

•To suggest that J-Hope and Namjoon are uniquely "disappointing" or "betraying their morals" by taking a backstage photo is a massive, unfair double standard.

3. Grown Men Making Professional Choices
J-Hope and RM are grown men in their late 20s and early 30s. They are not characters in a curated fantasy narrative designed to perfectly coddle the internet's sensitivities. They are global music executives and performers navigating the real-world music industry. They have the absolute right to attend a concert, appreciate live music, and network with other major entities like Usher and Chris Brown without having their entire moral character assassinated by overreactive netizens.

The attempt to twist a fun, cross-cultural musical link-up into a narrative about condoning domestic violence is an Olympic-level stretch. It is entirely possible to separate an artist's personal past from their professional impact, and that is exactly what the Tannies are doing.

[Noor⁷ @uarmyluv0]

this doesn't affect me because i treat bts as normal human beings instead of seeing them as saviours or "know it all" people.. y'all put them on that fvcking pedestal they didn't asked for it💀
mind you bts is getting more hate rn than the abuser themselves

[💜⁷ 2.0 @danilovesbts]

a lot of y’all overstep the boundaries of being a fan. what you want is control. you view yourselves as the moral authority and want to use your will to force bts to make what you deem are the correct choices or else.

“bts need to be educated” “we need to find a way to reach them so they start making better decisions”

do y’all hear yourselves and how insane you sound? as a fan you aren’t entitled to tell bts how to live their lives, where to go, what to do, what friends to have, how to manage their careers. y’all gotta put your phones down and touch some damn grass because the parasocial is getting out of hand. the way so many of you speak about bts is no different then the way kpoppies harass, degrade and belittle their idols.

one thing our fandom needs to learn to do is to stop having quick responses to everything. self-regulate. not every personal opinion needs to be made public. sometimes for the sake of bts’ reputation and public image it’s best to just keep your mouth shut. at some point we have to be honest with ourselves and admit often times it’s us who are the problem and are the driving force behind the hate from kpop stans and negative press because our overreactions draw attention to things that would otherwise be left in the internet void which then fuels the public harassment.

you have every right to be bothered or uncomfortable with certain things without turning it into the next anti-bts smear campaign.

and one thing y’all have to come to terms with and this applies to any celebrity not just bts: y’all gotta stop putting celebrities on a pedestal and viewing them as some sort of beacon of virtue. you won’t constantly be disappointed in the choices celebrities make if you stop treating them as your personal moral compass for what’s right.
