#noticing how people who are not boycotting only wish boycotters the worst and they never mention member's health, how the company overworks them, how they don't get fair treatment, how they don't have solo freedom, how their body needs rest, how members are humans.

[rui @vainsaults]

most of you don’t see idols as humans and it’s showing lol.

[rui @vainsaults]

BOYCOTT BOYCOTT

[𝐧𝐲𝐱⁷𓂃۶ৎ⋆ | 𝚍𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚑 𝚘𝚏 𝚋𝚕𝚒𝚜𝚜 @dddeonuuu_]

i genuinely need to get this off my chest because i keep seeing the same reasoning lately and i cannot make it make sense.

when exactly did we discover that boycotting has consequences? certainly not yesterday…

lower streams, lower sales, weaker engagement, uncomfortable numbers, uncertainty around what comes next…we knew. we knew ALL of this from the beginning. because that was the point of the boycott.

that was never some hidden consequence nobody warned us about. you literally can’t financially withdraw support from a company while at the same damn time guaranteeing that every commercial metric stays untouched. that’s not a boycott.

so seeing those exact consequences all of a sudden being used as proof to present boycotting as “dangerous” feels incredibly backwards to me. like are we for real?

and especially now too.

this comeback (and i’m speaking for myself) feels like an experiment i simply find uncomfortable and do not want to participate in.

if belift is looking at this first six-member era to understand whether everything can continue normally, whether the fandom will adapt, whether the same support and money will still come in despite everything that happened…why would THIS be the moment i decide to give them exactly that??

to give them what they want? i just can’t. it goes against all of what i’ve been fighting for all these months. if this comeback is a test (as i genuinely believe is), i refuse to help give them the answer they want.

and i honestly struggle so much with people suddenly using contract renewal to justify why supporting this comeback is supposedly necessary…

yes, success matters. of course it does. enhypen being commercially valuable gives them power. but commercial success does not automatically mean good contract conditions, nor does one comeback determine their entire negotiating position. i’m sorry but i don’t agree with that.

their leverage is made up of so much more than that: years of established success, touring demand, fandom size, brand value, individual value, the revenue they already generate, how dependent the company is on them, what alternatives they have and, yes, how consumers react when the company makes decisions they strongly oppose.

so, fan pressure is leverage too. and that is the part this mentality completely ignores.

if the company can make decisions that cause months of anger, protests and distrust, and then still receive the exact same streams, sales and engagement when the comeback arrives…what exactly tells them that anything needs to change??

we can scream “we’re unhappy” every damn day, but companies will always pay attention to consumer behaviour. that’s why if our actions tell them “we will support whatever you release regardless”, why would they read that as pressure?

i’m also very uncomfortable with people saying we need to keep financially supporting the company NOW so that maybe the members will have enough power to demand better treatment from that same company LATER.

but how long does that continue? how can we be sure it will go that way? keeping the metrics up can also strengthen the company’s position in a different way, because it shows them that no matter what they pull, people will keep consuming it.

every comeback could be important for their career.
every comeback could affect numbers.
every comeback could happen near some future negotiation.
there will ALWAYS be a reason why “right now isn’t the right time”.

and if every moment where withholding support could actually have an impact suddenly becomes too dangerous to boycott…then when exactly is a boycott supposed to matter?
during the periods where the company has nothing to lose? that literally makes no sense to me…

and please understand: i KNOW this is hard.

i miss enjoying their work normally. i miss not having to think about whether clicking something, streaming something or buying something goes against what i have been standing for. there have been countless moments where taking the easier path would have felt so much better emotionally.

but none of that is new either: the discomfort was part of the decision from the beginning.

and personally, i would feel much worse going back to financially supporting the same company i have spent months criticizing, especially during an era that i believe could determine how viable this new situation looks commercially.

i just can’t do that.

people are obviously allowed to stop boycotting. nobody should be forced into this, and changing your mind by itself is not hypocrisy.

if you reached your limit, say that.
if you no longer believe the boycott is effective, say that.
if you decided that the possible consequences are no longer risks you are willing to take, say that.

i can respect honesty.

what i struggle to respect is spending months explaining how necessary collective pressure was, encouraging other people to make sacrifices too, and then suddenly framing the same consequences we knew about from day one as a reason why supporting the comeback is now the only responsible choice.

because then i have to ask: what exactly were we preparing ourselves for all these months?

a boycott that only continues while it is comfortable and commercially harmless is not much of a boycott.

and maybe that sounds harsh, but i would rather say what i genuinely think than pretend this sudden change in reasoning makes sense to me.

it doesn’t.

!!! a country that refuses to understand its children will keep failing them.

matagal nang kailangan ng pilipinas ang sikolohiya. it's about time we build more spaces for it, lalo in schools & communities where it is really needed :(

[rui @vainsaults]

not the puppy trying to be scary

[rui @vainsaults]

wtf

[Kiu @Kiu7noo]

I really do recommend joining the HYBE boycott to everyone who is upset right now
Through that you can speak up for Palestinian fans and signal that we do not welcome zionists in thsi space and at the same time show them that the opinion of international fans matters also matters

[ؘ @wonaist]

wait put me in between

[⁷ara @handsofagust]

indigenous people are being chase away from their ancestral lands to build an ai data center and you want me to think ai is not bad. their ancestors' burial sites are being exhumated and you want me to believe ai is harmless

[salama 💛 @echoesofate]

I don’t like when people say that everyone has stopped boycotting now, because that simply isn’t true. We’re still the majority, and we’re still standing by what we believe in.

Just because you were able to move on, “accept reality,” and go back to funding the company doesn’t mean the rest of us have to do the same.

Stop trying to impose your own agenda on others. Everyone is allowed to move at their own pace and make their own choices. We respected yours, so respect ours.

You don’t have to agree with us, but you have no right to tell us what we should do or make us feel guilty for continuing to boycott.

The boys are still being mistreated and exploited for profit while being pushed to their limits, and that is something we refuse to ignore.

We’ll continue fighting for all seven of them for as long as we believe it’s necessary. We want our family back, and we want the boys to be treated fairly, respected, and given the rest they deserve.

We’ll keep standing until there’s real change and we will see this through for them, and for us.

ENHYPEN Comeback Reminder🌻

🌷ENGENEs, please stay careful on YouTube during the comeback, especially if you’re joining the boycott. Even briefly playing the MV could count as a view. Please spread awareness and remind others kindly. Let’s stay patient and trust our efforts. 🫶

[rui @vainsaults]

and again, enhypen deserve better fans.

[rui @vainsaults]

i’d hate to be an enhypen member because wdym we’re having a comeback and our fans are being miserable about our former member instead of talking about us. embarrassing as fuck 🤣🤣🤣
