Yall the audacity of some people to think that because I only stan bts that I don't listen to other music. I swear I have the most diverse type of taste in music, most armys I know do too irl and online. And I listen to music in many different languages even before being army+ Like I listen to hip hop, r&b, alternative rock, gospel, musicals, classical music, ballads, alternative pop, pop, jazz, edm, rock ballads, indie and I listen to it all in a variety of language. I listen to Thai pop, Filipino r&b and pop, k-indie, r&b, and more+

The moment any of yall come for bts and try to make this abomination about them is the direct block for me. I'm not tolerating any of it. Idk why yall love to make them into punching bags but not in my space. There are actual individuals and organizations out there+ Dedicated to spreading Israel's propaganda. People with real power who actually can move this war and stop this genocide but instead of focusing on them yall have convinced yourself that somehow this one south korean entertainment company will shift the tides of war+

The way I have been saying this for the past year or so and recently I wrote a whole damn thread about how they need time to regroup and think because unlike most artists and groups out there they are in charge of their creative output+ And they have the integrity that a lot of people in thus business lack. I love that they are so open and honest. A lot if yall BTS fans are gonna be mad fir a variety of things and you always want the same sh*t over and over again. Any how BTS should will do what they want+

Imma need the people who are hating on the anthology album especially ex-armys to stay out of army and bts business. We don't need your hot take stop trying to analyze sh*t that you know you don't have an objective view on while making it seem like everybody else who enjoy+ This comeback are just paying lip service or being overly sentimental and non-objective because no matter how you see it music and art is meant to be experienced subjectively. You dont like the new songs that's fine that dont make it ok for you to judge all 9 years of BTS +

This is what I'm gonna saying these expose threads that be popping up on my tl every year since being army. Take everything you see with a grain of Salt, do your own research, arm yourself with critical thinking and dont just blindly do what idiots with out of context+ Screenshots tell you. Some of these people are intentionally obtuse and propagate misinformation with the goal of ruining big accounts that they don't like for any number of reason that has nothing to do with whatever they'd like you to believe. I've seen so many good+

I was soooo pissed during the entire month of October that year yall. The 6 months that followed after that before the bbma win were crazy as hell! Mind you this is literally just a few months before they won the daesang for wings in December which was another sh*tshow+

The boys had no idea they were getting cut from the festival. ARMY was literally ready to riot when they realized what was happening and even then they were closing down and packing up while the boys were performing. Imagine the absolute disrespect and what was worst +

What you mean you need support from ARMY. ARMY is here for BTS not for other groups. Let their fandoms support them we will support BTS point blank periodt. I will never forget the ridicule and bullying that went and still goes on today when it comes to us and the boys+

https://twitter.com/LoveIsRed02/status/1517288156688650240

But you want us to leave our priorities behind and support your favorites when you don't even respect us and our favorites?! Like make it make sense! The math is not mathing! I can guarandamntee you nobody was telling Groups like Eggso and b*g b*ang to give other groups a chance+

Some Blinks make no sense.

I said some cause I don't wanna generalize but most of my encounters with them have been gross. They are some of the most contradictory people on here. I am so Glad BTS is where they are because I can't imagine if the situation was reversed. They would +

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+

Wait RM said in his VLive it's time to go back to our roots and how we started. OMG I have a feeling this album is about to delve Deep into their past and we are gonna get heavy hip hop fusion. Also im gonna look into we are bulletproof the eternal mv cuz there's bound to be+

Clues there right? Omg what If we got a combination of all their past eras in this one yall. 🤡🤡

Today 8 years ago the sewol ferry tragedy happened and 8 years later families are still seeking answers about the exact reasons why this tragedy happened and it breaks my heart that it is the case still. This still weighs on my mind especially nowadays + Because traumatic events happen so much in the world especially lately due to government negligence and corruption and it feels like no one ever gets a valid answer and we keep repeating the same cycles and re-electing the same kind of people in office and expect things to +

I feel like I haven't made it clear cuz I'm still getting ambiguous dms about this yes I love kpop and korean entertainment periodt but I only stan BTS. I also enjoy Thai Bls and many more style of Asian entertainment. I am also into Bollywood and enjoy a variety of + Music from India and Pakistan including classical music from India. I also am a huge fan of indie Filipino music and Filipino r&b is amazing to me. My point is I am a huge art fan in general. But I don't consider myself a stan and don't take on the name of fandoms lightly+

I just saw something on my tl (Russian woman encouraging her bf to r*people Ukrainian women) and I once again was faced with the fact that human beings can also be the furthest thing to humanity as possible. It is DEMONIC. stomach turning, absolutely Vilest sh*t + And I am appalled that I share this planet with people like that. And even more terrified that there are many others like her out there and it makes me not wanna have children even more! I am not about to generalize this to all Russians because lord knows how wrong that would be+

Please don't trust the korean media implicitly they've always been trying to screw the boys over there plenty of examples. Exhibit A+

Here we go again. Idk how many threads I've written about this. We need more than ever to focus on the guys and trust them and that hybe knows what they are doing. And we as international fans should keep ourselves in check and not speak over k-armys and members +

https://twitter.com/modooborahae/status/1513350629967732740

Also let's act like we don't see comments about the whole m*l*tary debate and don't let other fandoms provoke yall into responding. The media is looking into our spaces and they will latch on to any little thing to make controversy. People are gonna be approached and asked to +

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 +

https://twitter.com/gmcantave1/status/1513164995269439492

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 +

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 +

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+

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.

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+

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+
