People are really out here firmly believing that concerts and festivals are supposed to be a cesspool of disrespectful and dangerous behaviors for it to be fun. I saw a thread that baffles on my tl where there were several people dismissing the boys concerts +

Because we are not out here pushing and trampling over each other in the moshpit and we are not just getting on stage and crowd surfing. And taking our clothes off and acting like wild animals at BTS concerts and I find myself baffled and perplexed honestly+

People are allowed to like what they like but looking down on a group of people because they prefer to be safe and respectful is just imo idiotic to the max. Also they act as if bts concerts don't have seats right in front of the stage+

And this ever tiring assumption about the army demographic. Smh i swear we could sell out all the liquor and all the cars and all the 18+ products and people would say wow those are some freaky 12 yos with super liberal parents 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️+

I love our fandom and I think the fact that we value respect and kindness and safety everywhere we go is what makes us such a diverse crowd at BTS concerts because everyone feels safe enough to attend. From children to elderly. There is no judgement and everyone is included +

I love that we don't push and we call out rowdy and disrespectful behavior when we see it. I live for the way we care for one another and for the boys and for our surrounding when we go places. I love that we have a culture that values these things+

I love that our brand of rebellion does not manifest itself in harmful and toxic behaviour but in acts of kindness, social activism, and awareness and that we take pride in diversity and acceptance! If that makes us a boring crowd then I am proud of it! As BTS grows+

There will be more and more people joining ARMY and I hope we have enough resources and ways to let them learn about what that means and the beauty of ARMY Culture and etiquette. #ARMYRANT
