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.
Então deixa eu ver se eu entendi. O Bad Bunny pode ter foto com o Chris Brown e continuar sendo reconhecido pelo Pixel Project, mas o Namjoon foi removido? Ah sim, super coerente. Então o problema é a violência contra mulheres ou é escolher quem vai servir de exemplo dependendo da conveniência? Porque eu realmente quero entender a lógica disso😭
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.
This whole @PixelProject Project drama is so frustrating.
They put Namjoon on their “male role models against violence against women” list because of his growth, his advocacy, and the way he’s spoken up in a patriarchal industry. Then the second he (and Hobi) go to a concert and take a photo with Chris Brown, they indefinitely suspend him and act like his silence is some huge betrayal.
Meanwhile they’re quiet about other people on that same list who have their own messy associations. That’s the inconsistency fans are calling out, and it’s why people are mad.
Deactivating, blocking, deleting comments the moment ARMYs start pointing it out just makes them look worse. You can’t claim moral high ground and then run the second the pressure hits.
Namjoon doesn’t owe every random organization a public statement every time something gets controversial. He’s human, he went to a show, and people are acting like that erases years of him actually trying to do better. The selective outrage is wild.
🚨 REPORT AND BLOCK 🚨

Armies let's not forget what a power we are. Let's put our rage into the right place and silence the abuser.

armys, we cannot be silent anymore. besides being fans, we’re women and we deserve to be treated with respect, a man should not call a female dominated space names, do speak up and trend tags.

i highly disagree. this is such a ridiculous way to remove accountability from a grown man. bts can be criticized for going to his concert but CB is responsible for his own words, actions and the disrespect he chooses to show. nobody “made” him do anything.
how the fuck is it BTS’ fault that yall blew something like them attending a concert so out of proportion that it reached that demon and now yall still blaming BTS and CB gets away scot free still???
yall performative arses still on NamSeok’s ass and not his im wheezing
The way he's the one deserve all hate and this can be perfect opportunity to call him out, you don’t understand he's must be happy getting away this time as nobody is taking about him, look at the way he talks, arrogant piece of sh*t
that comment from that man? this is what happens when y’all advocate for the wrong things from the wrong people while ignoring the actual problem. as history has shown us time and time again, that man will get away with speaking and behaving this way towards women while y’all attack and send serious threats to people who attended his concert and call anyone who doesn’t agree with your approach to this situation a ‘bitch’ and a ‘male-centric fan’
This just further proves Chris dgaf about bts nor respect them as artists he simply sees a big fandom and thinks it’s funny he has the ability to make them upset and it’s fucking sick :/
