chris brown called army a ho and no one is harassing him, his ig is perfectly clean filled with praises meanwhile you guys have been dragging namseok through mud since three days. just say bts has always been the easy target
Estou tão decepcionada com o fandom. Mas muito decepcionada mesmo. Raramente escrevo ou respondo, mas dessa vez, vou me pronunciar.
Não é o BTS que está sendo cobrado por padrões diferentes, é só o Namjoon, não é do BTS que vocês exigem perfeição, é só do Namjoon, não é o BTS que é o mais odiado, é só o Namjoon. Comecem a chamar as coisas pelo que elas realmente são.
O Hobi já quase nem falam mais, mas os posts de ódio falando do Namjoon só aumenta.
When Chris Brown’s court case happened in 2009, J-Hope was 15 and RM was 14 both are middle and high-school kids in South Korea focused on dance and underground rap. They weren’t fluent in English, and Western internet drama wasn’t part of Korean media or news then. To them, Chris Brown was simply a global force in dance and R&B whose music and choreography they studied and respected after Michael Jackson.
So expecting two Korean teenagers to have researched the personal legal history of every foreign artist they admired is an impossible task, hyper-localized Western standard. Condemning them now for a casual backstage photo with Chris Brown and Usher is selective outrage dressed up as accountability.
Western artists have collaborated, toured, and reconciled with Chris Brown for years with far less scrutiny. Yet when it’s BTS, a standard industry photo is treated like a moral betrayal. J-Hope is a dancer’s dancer and RM is a student of hip-hop. Linking up with major performers is normal professional networking and mutual respect among hip-hop industry not an endorsement of anyone’s past.
Both of them are grown men navigating the global music industry. Let them appreciate the music, take the photo, and move on without the internet policing their every interaction.
I am American. I am a survivor of spousal violence & SA. I do not like the history of violence associated with CB. And I only knew about 2009. I knew nothing of the rest. But somehow they were expected to?
So much of this is pure manipulation in an attempt to control them. We are fans. Not their parents. Not their bosses. Stop acting like it's your job to hold them accountable. Have an opinion. Everyone does. Write a fan letter. Message the company. Whatever. You have the freedom to walk away if you are that concerned. But stop acting like they committed a crime. That man has millions of fans. You think consumption of his music = endorsement of his character? Hah. That is so naive.
Research every professional involved in the making of before you watch a movie, listen to a song, buy a product.
Guarantee you will find something you find reprehensible. So just stay home, go naked, watch & listen to nothing. Consume nothing.
It's about the music, his talent. If you think it's anything more than that for the members, you shouldn't be thinking of yourself as a fan to begin with. Bc you obviously don't know them at all.
Stop being a megaphone for antis & hatrs. Some may be genuinely disappointed & upset. The rest are bandwagon assholes who just want the worst for them. The world has way bigger problems than 2 guys going to a fucking concert.
Touch grass & put your crap in perspective. These men aren't literal idols. They aren't infallible. Let them be human without creating a damned crisis.
My 2 cents. And that's all I will say on the matter.
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.
I think people have completely lost the meaning of “parasocial” in this discourse. Not attacking BTS every time they make a choice I wouldn’t make doesn’t mean I think they can do no wrong. It means I understand my place as a fan. I love BTS. I think very highly of them as people based on what they’ve shown us over the years. But I do not know them, and they do not know me. I’m a fan of their art. They are grown men with lives outside of this fandom, and they do not need my approval for every concert they attend, person they meet or choice they make. I don’t have to defend every choice they make because their choices aren’t mine to defend. And I don’t have to attack them either. I can simply disagree, decide what MY boundaries are and move on. That’s not blind loyalty. If anything, believing your relationship with an artist gives you the right to “educate” them, demand apologies and pressure them into living according to your personal values feels far more parasocial to me.
