namjoon defended armys when james corden called armys 15 year old fan girls, namjoon is perhaps the only idol who reads and makes an effort on feminism as a man in a misogynistic climate and took responsibility for every action seen as a mistake, namjoon says women shouldn't face marriage pressure, namjoon wrote a song supporting lgbt before debuting in 2012, bts members in general don't put love into gender roles, hoseok tells his female fans you should be careful against every man, hoseok praises women in the most beautiful way without sexualizing them in his songs and many more things. yes you might have experienced disappointment, but i won't let you forget especially namjoon's and hoseok's respect for women.
The immediate backlash online against some of the BTS members J-Hope and Namjoon simply for attending an R&B concert and taking a picture with Chris Brown is a prime example of internet moral policing gone completely overboard. The toxic narrative trying to paint two grown men as suddenly "problematic" or "supporting abuse" because they met up with a massive musical contemporary is exhausting, hypocritical, and completely disconnected from how the entertainment industry works.
As a critic of this performative outrage, it is time to inject some reality and nuance into the conversation.
1. It is About the Music, Period
J-Hope and RM are, first and foremost, world-class musical artists, dancers, and hip-hop/R&B fans. Chris Brown, regardless of his highly publicized and heavily scrutinized personal history, is undeniably one of the most influential dancers and R&B performers of this generation.
•For J-Hope, a dancer who has dedicated his life to hip-hop choreography, witnessing the Usher and Chris Brown R&B Tour live is purely a matter of professional appreciation.
•Taking a photo backstage with a peer or a major global artist at a concert is standard industry behavior. It is not a political endorsement, nor is it a stamp of approval on anyone's personal mistakes.
2. The Hypocrisy of Selective Outrage
The internet loves to treat BTS like they live in an isolated bubble where they must maintain a flawless, untouchable moral standard that no other Western artist is forced to uphold.
•Major Western artists across the entire music industry including Rihanna herself, who later collaborated and reconciled with Chris Brown have worked with, hung out with, or publicly praised him.
•To suggest that J-Hope and Namjoon are uniquely "disappointing" or "betraying their morals" by taking a backstage photo is a massive, unfair double standard.
3. Grown Men Making Professional Choices
J-Hope and RM are grown men in their late 20s and early 30s. They are not characters in a curated fantasy narrative designed to perfectly coddle the internet's sensitivities. They are global music executives and performers navigating the real-world music industry. They have the absolute right to attend a concert, appreciate live music, and network with other major entities like Usher and Chris Brown without having their entire moral character assassinated by overreactive netizens.
The attempt to twist a fun, cross-cultural musical link-up into a narrative about condoning domestic violence is an Olympic-level stretch. It is entirely possible to separate an artist's personal past from their professional impact, and that is exactly what the Tannies are doing.
Nobody is saying BTS JHope & Namjoon committed Chris Brown’s crimes or that they are responsible for his actions. That’s not the point. The criticism is about the choice to publicly attend and support his concert, especially when Chris Brown literally pleaded guilty just weeks ago and is currently on bail awaiting sentencing.
You can love BTS and still say, “I think this was a bad choice.” Being a fan doesn’t mean defending every decision they make. Going to someone’s concert, cheering for them and publicly showing support is different from simply having an old song on your playlist. It gives that artist your money, attention and social endorsement.
And saying “they went there for the music” doesn’t erase the context surrounding the person performing that music. BTS aren’t guilty of Chris Brown’s actions, but fans are allowed to question why they would publicly support him despite knowing his history and his current legal situation. Holding BTS accountable for their own decision to attend is not the same as holding them accountable for Chris Brown’s crimes.
I can still support BTS while being disappointed in this particular choice. Those two things can exist at the same time.
"qual é o ponto de ler livros feministas se em uma situação real envolvendo violência contra mulheres, você consegue simplesmente sorrir ao lado de um homem que cometeu e celebrar o conhecer?"
"Yoongi, há quase 10cm de diferença entre nós"
"Jungkook, o ar está ótimo aqui em cima"
"Nunca pensei que chegaria o dia em que seria mais alto que o Namjoon"
Comentários de Jung Hoseok depois de usar um sapato alto no show do BTS em Busan; eles são ótimos kkkkk
Se o BTS tiver chegado na idade onde começa a ter atitudes questionáveis começam a acontecer eu me mato, sério, qualquer um menos o BTS, qualquer um menos o Namjoon, eu imploro
Não ironicamente se eu fosse artista seria cancelada toda semana pq eu esqueço dos podres das pessoas. Dias desses estava comentando q adoro as músicas da aurora e a minha amg "parei de ouvir depois q defendeu o baterista nazi" e eu fiquei mds é mesmo
Olha gente, ser fã de uma pessoa não é passar pano pra atitudes delas, okay? Principalmente uma escolha que tem sim peso em um público majoritariamente feminino. No entanto, agir como se fossem ELES os criminosos é equivocado DEMAIS da parte de vocês.
eu adoro quando eles sao diretos assim e dao uns cortes bem dados, mas essas pessoas sao doentes e muitas ou sao extremamente malucas a ponto de achar que sao a exceção e outras nem se importam e so levam isso como “eles tao falando de mim! 🤩”
so queria que todas fossem presas!
Ele ainda disse pra ela a frase: "Eu nao podia imaginar que você ficaria MEIO ANO sem ganhar 1 centavo" ainda falou que deseja que ela arrume um homem rico pra bancar a vida dela de blogueira (ela nao é blogueira)
Uma amiga q era concursada e ganhava 15 mil seria transferida pra outro estado, mas o noivo n quis. Ela largou o emprego. Hoje ele terminou com ela pq tava difícil bancar tudo. Há 6 meses ela busca outro emprego e n conseguiu ainda. NUNCA DESFAÇAM SUA VIDA POR CAUSA DE HOMEM.
