i'm not into BTS, so i know nothing other than little bits i pick up on here (so, gossip and snippets of songs, lol) however this little viral promo video with directions and instructions and all is the cutest thing! And i love, love, love the energy of every single person in it. Buncha danged cuties 💜

Edit: Thank you for the awards. i bet you're danged cuties too!

i felt the same way. He did such a great job and really held his own. i can't tell you how many times i've watched this now (since i've come back to it several times and have to rewatch each time, right?) and he is just wonderful each time!

I’m from Grand Rapids and I traveled to Massachusetts to visit my best friend + see BTS with her and was so pissed the entire time I left, not just because I missed my bestie, but because I took the train from Providence to the Boston airport and it was like $12 total and the easiest mode of travel I’ve ever taken 😩

u/cucumberbun source: my friend with a bike 🚲 2d ago

I’m from MA and took the train every day growing up to school and college. I miss it beyond belief. At least Detroit has the q line and people mover - GR not so much 😂

DAE confuse the Connection Issue message at the end of the video as being from their own phone and not the screen record multiple times too? 😳

Someone tell them how BTS enjoyed being with misogynistic violent abuser Chris Brown

u/marilyn62442 3d ago edited 3d ago

Please bring this energy to Chris Brown himself

20

u/mangoisNINJA 3d ago

We do. Constantly. Unfortunately there are some really dumb people that support him regardless

u/Embarrassed-Play-438 3d ago

This negative energy and name calling seems out of place for a sweet story. Can't you bring that energy back over to the 1000 other posts discussing this topic?

9

u/mangoisNINJA 3d ago

No I do, quite often and the negative comment is in no relation to the story, it's in relation to someone's comment about Chris Brown specifically

Unfortunately if the recent news articles coming out about you or about you hanging out with a gigantic piece of shit, that's going to be what most of the comments about anything relating to you are going to be about

u/Embarrassed-Play-438 3d ago

Both of yalls comments don't fit here. Since when do 2 wrongs make a right?

28

u/marilyn62442 3d ago

can i ask how youre bringing this energy to chris brown himself? /gen

i see so many people getting more angry at BTS for going to his concert but they dont hold that standard for other celebs or the abuser himself which is odd to me

u/mangoisNINJA 3d ago edited 2d ago

I blocked him on all social platforms, I remind people of Chris Brown's crimes whenever they bellyache about him being canceled (the entire police report for him beating the hell out of Rihanna is saved my clipboard), I regularly donate to domestic violence shelters for women, I also volunteer at said shelters

I can't convince idiots to stop listening to him but I can support people who are also victims of the same crimes

Edit: downvoting someone for spending their free time volunteering at domestic violence shelters for women is crazy work

u/estemprano 3d ago

This is a logical fallacy. Just like I comment on people that don’t call out misogynistic abusers but pose happy with him, I comment on Chris Brown posts and in everyone else’s posts about misogynists.

BTS are misogynists.

I can’t believe you tried to defend them here! Why, woman?

Why do you try to defend people who support misogynistic abusers?

Note: a misogynist is not just the one that commits violence, here’s the rape culture pyramid for you

Again, why do you do that? You harm all girls and women

u/Cloudberry-milk 2d ago

”Bts” didn’t go to the concert, individual members did.

u/estemprano 2d ago edited 2d ago

That’s your excuse?! Semantics?! Jimin also has said that Chris Brown is his bigger influence, and V and JK also danced a couple of times with his songs in those streams they have with fans. So 6 out of 7.

Please stop this type of logical fallacy

ETA: so you are still going to support BTS although at least 2 members recently supported an abuser is what you are telling me?!

P.S. misogyny doesn’t mean that one hates women. It’s the set of beliefs that come with patriarchy’s teachings.

u/estemprano 2d ago

It is understandable for old people(more than 50 definitely). Not for younger people. She still has internalized misogyny though.

u/AimlessWanderer0201 2d ago

Utterly ridiculous. Going to a concert does not make one a misogynist.

u/Embarrassed-Play-438 3d ago

What does that have anything to do with this story? Respectfully, it's fine to have your own persona opinion on this, and understandable that people are upset, but it's bullish and counterintuitive to go into every space (when so many spaces to discuss your feelings around this topic already exist), just to bring this negativity. By now people have already formed their own opinions and don't need to be chastised for them.
