IM GOING TO CITIFIELD AIDHEFDSDUIHFWOGNGWKMLD WHAT DO I DO

[Sara 2.0 @SaraBangtan07]

I think RM felt uneasy with what the Love Yourself era had become. In 2021, he told Zach Sang that when they first reached BB in 2017, they thought Love Yourself might be their direction for “half a decade or 4-5 years.” Instead, “it ended really soon, like in 2 years”

In his Persona behind, he explained that the LY message had become too grand & that things were becoming “too big for us to handle.” They deliberately turned inward and toward “smaller things”

On The Dictionary of Useless Human Knowledge, he shared, “There was a time when BTS had become representatives for minorities around the world.” He found this “extremely confusing.” He had simply been saying what he wanted to say, yet their support helped carry them to places like the UN & the White House. He questioned whether he was qualified for that position & whether believing he possessed some moral or social mission demanded by the times might be arrogant

And I understand the temptation to put him on a pedestal. He asks profound questions. Some of the ideas he’s been working through for years about identity, love, art, contradiction & how to live are enlightening. It’s easy to start expecting him to be a role model or even President

But he’s resisted this framing for years. When asked how he reconciled his identities as RM & Kim Namjoon, he replied, “I don’t have the answer”

He had ended the Love Yourself tour with a similar answer. More than 2 years after the start of the tour, he confessed that he still didn’t really know if he loved himself

He put it even more bluntly in Groin:
“I can’t be a monk”
“Not a f— diplomat”

Rejecting the assumptions that he knew or could represent something beyond himself

I think this comes back to the role of the artist in society. Artists experience life, notice things & make something from it. Their work can move people, help us see ourselves like a mirror & preserve a moment so others can encounter it years later. Almost like time travel. But making art & being articulate about the human condition does not make him a saint

He’s been saying this for years. He doesn’t have the answers. He questions his right to represent others. He’s trying to protect his own humanity. He wants to keep making music

This sounds like a very human artist to me

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.

[Noor⁷ @uarmyluv0]

this doesn't affect me because i treat bts as normal human beings instead of seeing them as saviours or "know it all" people.. y'all put them on that fvcking pedestal they didn't asked for it💀
mind you bts is getting more hate rn than the abuser themselves

[Veeni R.⁷ @veenirama]

[۟. @seulmeret]

alright. let’s say ariana came onto social media tomorrow and said, “you were all correct. i do infact have an eating disorder.” then what? what exactly do people think their job is after that? she’s a global celebrity, not someone’s fucking neighbour. she has family. friends. a management team. a record label. doctors. people who ACTUALLY know her. fans are consumers. they are observers. they are not her treatment team, and acting as though it’s the internet’s responsibility to diagnose and manage the health of a woman they’ve never met and know nothing about is absolutely absurd.

people keep acting as though posting “she looks like she’s dying” or “she’s way too skinny” is some noble act of awareness, but if she were genuinely suffering from an eating disorder, there’s a very real possibility that this kind of obsessive public scrutiny would be harmful rather than helpful. recovery from an eating disorder isn’t fuelled by millions of strangers analysing your body from every conceivable angle and in MOST cases, having your appearance constantly dissected becomes part of the disorder itself, reinforcing an unhealthy fixation on weight, shape, and external validation.

so please, enlighten me, what is actually being achieved by turning “is ariana grande too skinny?” into a weekly trending topic? IF the concern is sincere (and i really truly doubt it is), saying it once is enough. after that, it stops reading as concern and starts reading as malice. there is a difference between expressing concern and endlessly consuming someone’s body as a topic of entertainment. i am so fucking sick to death of strangers on the internet who are convinced they have both the authority and the obligation to comment on a woman’s body every single day. THIS IS NOT ADVOCACY.

You know who’s not in the Epstein files?

Undocumented immigrants.
Trans people.
Drag queens.
People who write books & create art with LGBTQ+ content.

It’s rich, powerful and mostly white men.

They want you to blame the “others” so you won’t blame them.

[DNA supremacist⁷ @uwujooon]

@Bianca551659 @kaceytron that’s simply not how real progress or empathy works. it shouldn’t have to be a suffering competition for someone’s opinion to be respected. why can’t people care about injustice and humanity AND acknowledge everyone’s experience and opinions?

[DNA supremacist⁷ @uwujooon]

@Bianca551659 @kaceytron you keep saying in your replies that POC are burning and flailing, yet ppl are defending the more privileged side. what im struggling with is how things turn into a comparison of who suffers more. that framing makes it feel like only the most oppressed perspective can be valid

[DNA supremacist⁷ @uwujooon]

@Bianca551659 @kaceytron okay i can concede on this- my tone was definitely combative and i apologize for coming across as devaluing your opinion/experience. you saying that qt is fully at fault felt reductive and unfair, because the situation feels way more gray than that (to SOME people maybe not you)

[DNA supremacist⁷ @uwujooon]

@Bianca551659 @kaceytron im not black and im also not defending white supremacy. im having a hard time making the connection that defending qt’s opinion (which is valid to me) renders me anti black and a defender of white supremacism. there are black and queer ppl who share the same opinion as me.

[DNA supremacist⁷ @uwujooon]

@Bianca551659 @kaceytron do you think I’m white? is that where this stems from? im literally a dark skinned POC… im part of those impacted communities. like what. or should i not be able to identify as that because we disagree??

[DNA supremacist⁷ @uwujooon]

@Bianca551659 @kaceytron when i expressed my opinions and experience, youve questioned me on whose side im on and have become immediately combative and accused me of criticizing marginalized groups. I haven’t been granted that same respect. youve literally minimized my concerns, which were valid too
