this is not a random misunderstanding or a simple fandom overreaction, it is a systemic pattern in the industry. trying to spin a fake narrative now to protect old systems fools nobody.

I think people need to understand why the backlash against Best Asian Pop has been so much louder and more sustained than the backlash against other regional categories.
Wizkid has spoken against the segregation of African music too, and his criticism was valid. But African artists still submit to those categories, and without the kind of enormous global fandom BTS has backing the message, the conversation eventually died down.
BTS, meanwhile, have been some of the biggest artists of our generation to explicitly push back against the industry boxing them into a regional category. And this time, they didn’t just talk about it but they opted out. And ARMY didn’t just complain. We brought the rules, the numbers, the history, the receipts. That’s why a MONTH later, articles, analysis and criticism are still coming out.
And honestly, this conversation shouldn’t stop at Best Asian Pop. Why are K-pop, J-pop, C-pop, Afrobeats, Latin music etc. constantly being turned into regional boxes? Asia isn’t one language, one culture or one sound. And neither is Africa or Latin America.
Music should be judged as music. Pop music is pop music, regardless of where it comes from or what language it’s in.
Afrobeats, Latin artists and Asian artists should be able to compete in general fields with American pop stars.
The question is: why does the industry keep deciding where music belongs before deciding what it deserves?

If 2016 didn't break this fandom and 2017 didn't break this fandom and 2018 didn't break this fandom and 2022 didn't break this fandom and 2024 didn't break this fandom, then 2026 can't break this fandom.
Vamos falar de seletividade e hipocrisia galeris? Aqui temos um pessoa que fez vários post e declarou ser ot5 pq dois membros foram no show e tiraram uma foto.
Porém essa mesma pessoa é fã de Ariana Grande, uma cantora que PASMEM, tem um feat com o dito agressor da Rihanna.
Lembrando que as agressões foram em 2009 e o feat 2014.
E alem da Ariana, tbm é fã de Taylor que tbm possui um feat com o agressor.
Sabe vc pode ser fã de quem vc quiser, e se magoar com o que quiser, mas acusarem eles e tacar na fogueira tendo as fav que tem, chega a ser PIADA
وحده من الستاف الي اشتغلت مع طاقم عمل التور في كونسرت بروكسل ردت تحت هالمقطع لـ هوسوك 🥹🥹
👤: "روح جميلة جداً من الداخل والخارج. لقد عملت معه، إنه لطيف للغاية 🙏❤️"
Tanto hablar mierda del namseok pero ni por coño venden la entrada y dicen "que vaya al concierto no significa que los apoye", entonces eso si aplica para ti pero no para ellos????
The real Namjoon is documented, so you guys will never be able to rewrite his history. Imagine calling Namjoon "performative" for sharing his books when he's known for literally constructing entire BTS albums from his reading list -:
1. Demian (Hermann Hesse) ➡️ WINGS album
2. Jung's Map of the Soul (Murray Stein) ➡️ Map of the Soul: Persona &7
3. The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas (Ursula K. Le Guin) ➡️ "Spring Day"
4. Into the Magic Shop (James R. Doty) ➡️ "Magic Shop"
5. 1Q84 (Haruki Murakami) ➡️ "Sea"
6. The Owl Service (Alan Garner) ➡️ You Never Walk Alone concept.
These Namjoon haters have never listened to a single thing he’s actually said or done. They are just fighting a fictional version of him they created in their own heads.
exactly! nobody labeled it "supporting an abuser" until it was namseok. it was never about cb - it was just their gotcha moment to drag them. the performative idiots in this fandom are embarrassing!
Yall still not over & finding new things to cry about. Microanalysing everything 875 do rn & calling it "pr move". Hiding ur rage & ego behind ur so called criticsm huh.
Yes namseok dgaf & they shouldn't to. They didn't commit a crime. So Get a life people.
the discourse should’ve ended at “don’t like they they took a pic with cb, here’s why we hate cb, hope they say something soon idk” instead yall are doing tarot readings and making up conspiracy theories each time a member posts like ENOUGH!
Dear BTS,
Use whatever colors you want my loves. Use all the colors at once if that is what you want.
Those of us who have fully formed frontal lobes don't mind.
Sincerely,
An ARMY with a life outside this nonsense.
do they even know why purple is our color or do they just assume bts picked it because most of the fandom is women and they thought it was a “girl color”
Can't believe the discourse moved to COLOURS now... they're so bored and it shows, and I'm getting bored too, this hate train is sooo getting old now.
Steam Arirang!
immediately assuming they’ve been performative and fake for the past 13 fawking years instead of being normal and understanding that good people can still make mistakes is….
