#Itsnotmybusinessbut just because HYBE owns a company doesn't mean they have anything to do with how that company manages their idols. Like, HYBE pays the bills, they do not micromanage.
That's like expecting them to run Justin and Ariana's careers...
Nothing changes. Y'all cry for five minutes before conveniently rolling over to a new Kpop group who you will not finance and whose careers will predictably crumble because you do not associate their success with yourselves, but rather payola and media play.
One of the main reasons I tuned out of K-pop was all that heart-breaking research into group after group that ultimately failed because they had no support. Because the people loudest about "loving ALL K-pop" do nothing but have all the mouth for blaming everyone else.
I'm still not over people in a whole ass other fandom blaming ARMY directly for a group that wasn't BTS getting disbanded because *we* didn't support them.
It's not about HYBE, Big Hit, BTS, or ARMY. Y'all need to carry that load your damn selves. Be a goddamn fan.
OMG, did I tell you all about the CREEPIEST thing that happened to me during my vacation?😭
So my mom changed phone numbers, but she still uses her old phone for apps, including WhatsApp. So I would WhatsApp her periodically.
Well...Verizon gave her old number away and-
that person created a WhatsApp account. She got logged out and had to scramble to add a new account with her new number.
This all happened in a matter of HOURS. No notice of any kind. I went from chatting with my mom...to some strange man. 😬
He actually called me. He wouldn't let me see his face and it was a few seconds before I realized it wasn't my mom as I didn't recognize the location. Then he was like "Hello? What is your name?"
#TinfoilHatTime: BullyBoard's Anti-BT5 Antics Are Backed By An Industry Running Scared—And I Think I Know (In Part) What's Driving The Fear
DISCLAIMER
It's called "Tinfoil Hat Time" for a reason. These are *my* crackpot theories. Take with a generous helping of salt.
I don't know if it's ignorance or arrogance, but ever since "Butter" dropped, the US music industry has used its various media mouthpieces to say the quiet parts out loud.
Ironically, while hoping their condensation and cruelty will discourage BTS and ARMY, driving us away.
The "secret" weapon to ARMY is something that may or may not seem obvious depending on how long you've been with the fandom and, most importantly, how much you actively paid attention to the NATURE of our fandom evolution over the years.
As I said, I think so little of this so-called fandom that people pulling stunts like this, involving an actual INFANT, does not surprise me.
I felt disgusted, but I was not surprised, because any fandom that prided itself on "black oceans" is inherently scum.
If you don't know what that is, it's when a crowd turns off their light sticks so that when a group or artist performs, they look out on a sea of darkness.
It is hurtful and demoralizing and entirely on purpose.
