and we don't blindly believe anything anyone says about BTS and the fellow army at face value without examining the facts and circumstances. We mind our own business and we certainly do not age shame because our older fans and our younger fans are a treasure. Perspective +
Is everything in army culture. Ask questions when you don't know or understand something 97% of the time fellow army will respond and explain it to you. No matter where you go please be mindful that our actions reflect our beliefs as a fandom and as people and yes we take it +
Seriously. It's in our name. ADORABLE REPRESENTATIVE MC FOR YOUTH. We lead by example. We say we are different and inclusive and kind so yall better walk the walk. We have plenty of resources to help in that way. Seek them, seek help! #ARMYREALTALK
Army culture is 100% against* bigotry, homophobia and transportation, misogyny and racism.
PS: some fellow armys brought to my attention that the thread may sound rough and patronizing but this is not my intention. I only think that it is important to learn and know about something before taking on epithets associated w it. This is not gatekeeping either +
If you really care about this being a safe place for all I think its imperative that everyone should be on the same page and the only way to do that is to learn what that page is and read the chapters before it. If you skip over those chapters there's no way you'll get it.
And for baby armys or people who are just getting there but still have a lot to learn. You dont need to watch every piece of content out here because it's overwhelming but interacting with armys and asking questions and little by little learning is good enough. It's all about+
Respect and common sense and loving the boys. It's all about kindness and understanding. That is the main point of it all. If you have it in yourself to be kind and willing to learn about others. That's already where it's at. I've been army for over 7 years now. I'm still learnin
So don't feel scared or bad if you don't know everything the beauty of it is learning about it little by little but the core of it all should be the same for everyone. Kindness, understanding and common sense.

It came to my attention that some word choices here are bad and I'd like to clarify it. The point of this thread was not to tell people how to become ARMY or to gatekeep BTS in any way. The point was to put emphasis on ARMY culture and point out the things that I learned over +
The years as an ARMY. Every community has their standards and their rules even unspoken. And I believe it's common sense for someone to learn about something before they take on an epithet. Anyone can call themselves ARMY but it is true that recently a lot of people have been +
Disregarding ARMY culture and etiquette and it left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths who are a part of this community. Some of you have only recently followed me and some of you dont follow me but see me on your TL because retweets. I don't come on here often +

Let it sink in that on top of being intrinsically involved in writing and producing the music these boys also have to master all the performance aspects of the music they write (singing and dancing a plethora of genres and styles, and rapping on top of the staging of it all)+
The amount of music videos they have to shoot. And they are doing all this while touring and giving interviews left and right and trying to cater to the music industries whims while still not getting that recognition. All the while filming variety shows and still finding the+
Time to further their education. Like. Do you realize that these boys managed to get their college degrees and Jin even went for his masters. And other members are still trying to get this sh*t done. The more I think about it the more pissed off I become+

I read that have plans to recreate the BTS city wide festival with other artists under the label including Ithaca artists. I'm intrigued by the idea because I wanna see how they plan to make up for the fact that not all fanbases are as dedicated and/or as big as ARMY +
Conceptually it's a good idea and they have enough big artists under the label to make it happen but Idk how they will account for the difference in fandom culture and variety. Still I totally wanna see the differences both in scale and execution.
Either way they are trying to branch out and innovate and I applaud it and I also think it's a good move to announce their intention and trademark that way of doing things (although it might not ultimately yield the expected results for other artists depending on execution) cuz+

FYI guys a lot of times when you see bs on the tl. The best response is to act like you ddnt see it. Saves a lot of energy. I only get involved when I've reached my limit. You will also notice that I tend not to follow many music or media related big accts why? Cuz you will end +
Up disappointed one way or another for whatever reason. This is a word to baby army and people in the fandom who are still struggling with managing their time on stan twitter. Only trust BTS and official big hit announcements. Because behind every big acct including mine+
Is a very flawed, fairly selfish, prone to big and small mistake human being and as well as prone to corruption and there are very few people who are self-aware enough to police themselves. And even fewer who are consistently good in the way they act and speak +

Woo Chile that granny performance got a lot of people mad yall. They were only nominated for 1 award that they didn't even win but everyone and their mama has them in their mouth like if this ain't a FLEX and a half. Imo all this talking is good for the boys cuz visibility +
And publicity for free right there. Them pressed potatoes running their mouth and posting stuff online about the boys is gonna make more people curious about them either to hate on them (secret stans) or out of curiosity and then they fall into the rabbit hole+
And this is with the upcoming concerts too! When comeback season rolls around you better believe every eye will be on our boys for all kinds of reasons. We about to break some more records and im here for it! I say let the haters create publicity and dont interact or give clout

For baby army who dont know who Mesopotamia farquad aka the fountain of excrement and her husband are. We are speaking of some producers who helped with bwl and a few songs and decided she and her crew was gonna take all the credit away from the boys and had the audacity to +
Also attack army. We discovered she wan an egotistical, probably racist and honestly ridiculous as a human being and she has been since then blacklisted by us. We all collectively decided that whether or not she was credited on a song we would just ignore her ass and her husband+
Who is also a producer and the same creed as her. When you see names like the white tamale, and any variation of the tamale we are referring to the clout chasing journalist below who decided to dismiss the boys while trying to profit off of them. She wrote a whole book+
