i love this fandom so bad cause wdym y'all saw the news of them boycotting grammys cause of their constant racism and decided to put the song where they address this very racism on #1
I hope yall realize how much courage it takes to willingly give up on a 100% chance to win awards just to show the world that good music should be respected and listened to without any labels. THIS is what we call paving the way
Oh and before all of you other fandoms talk shit and get it twisted, ARIRANG IS the album of the year. SWIM IS the song of the year. And lastly, BTS IS THE ARTIST OF THE YEAR. The numbers don’t fucking lie.
it takes an incredible amount of courage, even sadness, to realise that a dream is no longer a dream because its very foundation is rotten.
some people spend their entire lives chasing something, and when they finally discover it’s built on prejudice, unfairness, and flawed values, they don’t know how to walk away. BTS did.
I deeply admire their strength to let go of something they once dreamed of because they recognised it no longer represented what they believed in. they could have won their first grammy, but they chose integrity, conviction, respect for music and their peers instead.
that choice says more about their character than any trophy ever could.
no es solo el hecho de que hayan comunicado que no van a asistir a los grammys sino que además han aclarado que es por el RACISMO y eso es tan importante…..

@BTS_twt
two things were dangled in front of bts for the longest time. military exemption and the grammy. and in both cases they took the reins of the systems that tied them to exploitative schemes with the promise of a reward that was always just out of reach. hope they feel lighter now
