now backtrack and lets do 2016. break wings? the trending hashtags after hyyh epilogue tour’s last night??? BTS WINNING THEIR FIRST DAESANG & people posted PETITIONS to revoke it?????? this is child’s play!
As an army, if you survived 2018, you are a war veteran. We were fighting damn near every single day. Nobody had the chance to talk shit about BTS without getting jumped because of how tired we were
She filmed herself sobbing and screaming about RM and J-Hope attending Chris Brown’s show, framed it as a moral crisis, and harvested thousands of views, comments, and righteous ARMY pile-ons. Then, days later, she was in a suite at the Arlington BTS concerts, smiling for the camera, and posting the classic “I’m here but that doesn’t mean I fully agree with them” disclaimer.
That disclaimer is the tell. She understands the principle of separating the art from the artist when it protects her enjoyment and her content. She simply refuses to extend the same logic to the two people she claimed to be defending. The moment the outrage stops being profitable or convenient, the moral absolutism evaporates.
This isn’t principled fandom. It’s selective purity theater. You don’t get to demand that BTS members live under a higher ethical standard than the one you’re willing to apply to yourself the second tickets and suite access are on the line. If attending a concert “doesn’t mean endorsement,” then it never did—for anyone.
The hypocrisy is real. But the deeper problem is how easily parts of the fandom still reward the loudest, most emotional performance of morality… until the same person quietly cashes in on the very group they just publicly dragged.
This BTS thing is parasocial for a lot of you... What do you mean you cry, have panic attacks, question your sanity, feel betrayed when BTS does something you don't agree with?
