yes it would be “unprofessional” in the eyes of the media if they were getting mad over these allegations. they responded correctly to the situation, but we also know that they do respond more aggressively in most of their song with just the rappers in them. we also know that most hate on bts is from being too “feminine” or simply just because of their race. this is not ok and we should stand up for bts so bts doesn’t have too.

[@skyandrews2613]

@@carolday3381 Hip hop was a genre created by African-American people, do you want a source for my claim? I can provide one, also it became a genre that people of other races added to but the creation and beginning of it started with people of color. The Academy of Music and Sound's website features an article stating that, Hip-Hop originated in the African-American and Latino communities of New York in the 1970s. A previous comment also mentioned jazz and blues, but I'll also add soul as well as r&b to this list. All of these genres that were created and popularized by people of color throughout history go hand in hand with the oppression that people of color faced. There's nothing wrong with acknowledging the truth, even BTS has acknowledged this. Producer Bang Shi-Hyuk stated in his own words, “In terms of music, Black music is the base. Even when doing many genres like house, urban, and R&B; there’s no change to the fact that it is Black music. The boundaries of music genres are being broken globally. We are also embracing this and making it BTS style. "People of other races can still do and of course add to hip-hop/rap and they do (this happens all the time when artists inspire other artists), but they are still respectful of it's origins.

They are just mad they can’t talk sh** as often and get away with it.

I have seen in other social media apps that people unstan BTS because of Army, which makes no sense. I almost feel they are not real armys and just pose to encourage others to leave BTS. They basically say, oh I love BTS music but I unstan BTS because Army is so toxic. Is it BTS fault they attract passionate fans? How about you just don’t engage in the toxic part of army and get together with the kind gentle crowd of fans that would match BLM and other charities? They even mentioned army friends gave them hell when they were liking other artists. Those are not toxic armys, they are called toxic friends! Lol

Exo deserved far better to let it come to that, but now all we can do is enjoy and support their music

[@purpleglamour9089]

@Help me, Xiaojun just keeps stealing my heart ✋💚 it is hard in some ways. And not everyone wants to do that. Plus there's people's taste in music that they like and can vibe to. And there is the bonding between the group and heir fans. Some may find one that they connect with and it keeps them loyal/dedicated to that said group that they can NOT find from others. The feeling is different if you try to get into other groups. Especially the ones that keep having all these members lineup changes or replacement that loses the fans interest later on. Some don't go into groups that expands the number of members such as NCT.(You can read some comments around this group that some folks aren't into the whole concept thing.) So yeah, not many fans are willing to be multistans. They are comfortable with the one groups they're in. But if anything, some will be casual listeners to some of the other groups songs, but nothing more.

Do you know that ARMYs are still mad on this host? Dude, they don't forget. But I think BTS attended this event to show to ARMYs that it is time to move forward and forgive. All the other agencies except bighit kept pushing for that law to postpone the enlistment of their artists using bts as a shield, but now that the law is there, they're filing a complaint because no other artists aside from BTS reached the high standards. These companies want what BTS has created without putting in the work. Also, you think BTS plans their career with the cultural merit award in mind? Obviously nope. It's their sincerity and impact from their hard work that got them there.

NO, being more socially aware and not homophobic or misogynistic in lyrics etc does not take away your freedom of speach. You can say whatever the f you want but just because you for example can call someone ugly doesn't mean you should because it is hurtful and understanding what is demening to women and awoiding that does not take away your freedom of speach either. It's always been like this, whether it's about womens rights, black lives etc etc someone always thinks it's gonna take away from something else and are against it. We can move forward, be inclusive without it taking away from someone else. Women having the same rights as men does not take away mens rights, black people having the same rights as white people does not take away white peoples rights and not being misogynic in your lyrics does not take away your freedom of speach it just doesn't hurt and make someones life harder. Lets move toward a more loving and equal world. People, espesially in America it seems, often think that freedom of speach or freedom in general is to go around and do and say whatever no matter how it affects others but just because you are allowed to doesn't mean you should. Same online, people say really shitty things and act in terrible ways and then call others snowflakes or sensetive or say it's freedom of speach but yoou can say things without hurting others, you can be constructive with criticism.

your commentary about Prince and MJ spot on, thank you. just wanted to add, people want to be famous and successful in the music industry so badly but contribute nothing new because they are scared of criticism and crossing barriers so they stay in a box. those same people make fun of those who do step outside of box both out of ignorance and out of insecurity or jealously. plus, they're boring as hell and cookie cutter af. but you know what... at the end of the day, no one members those people. bts will be remembered point blank period.

[@elainewoosley3488]

When V was speaking onstage about his grandmother's death, it was not to garner attention. He was answering to Armies the question of why he appeared downcast and sad. He thought of his grandmother as a parent because she raised him while his parents worked out of town. She wanted to see him on television while the group was touring in the Philippines but she passed away first in Korea suddenly and V could not return for her funeral. He was grief stricken and mourned her death for a very long time.

the grammy’s thing annoyed me so much bc im in the uk and stayed up with friends on video call to watch the performance.. we were expecting only an hour until the performance, they had released a schedule and everything.. then they completely rescheduled it last minute and by the time we realised what they were doing, we’d already stayed up too late to drop it so i ended up staying up until 4am whilst having to wake up at 6am for college that morning -_- it was horrible

Human beings are extremely envy, gelous, evil, sick. The world is getting worst every day shootings (almost twice per week) , racism, xenophobia and many, many others. Of course BTS is going to be hated always not only because they're the BIGGEST GROUP OF THE WORLD but because they're SOMETHING GOOD FOR THIS WORLD we need more people like BTS.

The world woulda heard of my that day.

[@bruvrbruvr6525]

i agree with ur statement on the freedom of speech thing kinda. i feel like it’s getting harder to accept and acknowledge your mistakes and grow from them. bc in some way people automatically want everyone to never fck up. i think as long as you acknowledge your mistakes and show actual growth as a human from your past actions then you should be fine. but again, some people are in a mindset to where if you fuck up once you should never be given another chance

[@RS-oy6bz]

For me the most heartbreaking things were -them dancing for their fans on a dark stage with no lights camera or broadcast. But they did it for Armys there who refused to leave so the management had no choice. 💜 -them practicing in front of the bathrooms and other idols looking down on them. -jungkook being treated like that. Of course all is forgiven by JK during their recent show with him, I know. But still.... There is a longer video clip of this, and that one really hurts.

youre right.. people are so annoying these days. everyone cancel ppl for literally anything to appear "woke". ppl be digging up artists' past and attack them for it even tho theyve grown from it.

[@brooklynshoebabe]

I don't like when people go into a person's past to pull up past mistakes. Eminem was using drugs, recovering from trauma from his childhood tweny years ago. Obviously, that's not Eminem today. He doesn't still make mistakes like that. However, cancel culture isn't as bad as people think it is. Holding someone accountable for a wrong doing, especially it is still influencing their current product, shouldn't be thought of us getting cancelled. As far as we know, RM's lyrics might actually be better with someone outside of his personal experiences reviewing them. Also, once and for all, can we get off this Freedom of Speech is in danger soapbox? THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT STOPPING PEOPLE FROM SPEAKING. That's the legal and constiutional definition of protecting freedom of speech. In the street, on Twitter, or at your job, you can say what you like but you're going to have to do with the consequences.

Honestly BTS really deserves all the love and recognition they are getting now. And of course they are receiving a lot of hate too but I think sadly that's normal. The more big you get more people will hate you for your success and be jealous about it. What really disappoints me is that since the beginning and even now Bangtan has always suffered an amount of discrimination and not just that but being rejected not only by some other artist's fans or whatever but by the media and big companies when they clearly don't deserve this and these 7 guys have done nothing wrong. They are such an amazing human beings. I hope someday things change, all that discriminations and the way society judge. For now let's keep walking together holding hands, helping, supporting, comforting and loving each other because it has always been like this, apparently BTS just have ARMY and ARMY just have BTS. 💜

[@nifemio22]

In terms of what you said around 14:00-15:00, I think that if your freedom of speech relies on putting down entire sections of people then you're better off just not speaking. you can say what you want but be prepared to face the consequences. In terms of the misogynistic things, Bts accepted the claims and strove to do better, which is why they still have such a high female population of fans. They then used their platform to empower women and younger female fans in general, which is amazing. So, say what you want, if that offends someone then either decide to ignore it or decide to do better. Like honestly Cancelculture is a joke and I wish it was used more efficiently but since its not I just have to enjoy those that arent blatantly toxic.
