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.
i think what we’re witnessing rn is bts coming back to a world that got a LOT more outspoken about social issues while they were away. people found stronger convictions, drew harder lines and expect more from public figures now.
and it kinda sucks that part of the problem is they have spent years showing us they’re genuinely good people. some of the best. it’s a huge reason so many of us are here beyond the music. but somehow that’s created this impossible standard where one misstep becomes a complete moral indictment of who they are.
and yeah, sometimes it hurts MORE when someone you believe is good does something shitty. be disappointed. call the thing shitty. stand by your convictions. but they’re still whole, flawed people capable of fucking up and growing, and at this point the punishment has gone so far beyond the actual offense that the reaction itself has become deranged.
*sigh*
now since we are talking can we NORMALISE not streaming artists like drake, d4vd, usher, chris brown, playboi carti
"separate art from artist" doesn't work here they are ALIVE and WELL and are profiting of the streams you're giving to them
Being part of a generation that was told “Wikipedia is not a source” makes it genuinely baffling to me that jobs are now telling people to just use ChatGPT for everything.
