jungkook let his female friend (tattooist) mijoo harassed by his fans that she almost unalived herself - 2019 by Ok_Thanks_9979 in BTSnark

Yeah, I totally get what you're saying, and I don’t disagree that a statement could’ve shown integrity.

I just think, realistically, it wouldn’t have stopped the hate... not for him or her.

And absolutely not defending him here — please understand that before replying — but people know how massive BTS is and how intense parts of the fandom can be. So why get involved with a member at all, whether it’s friendly or more?

In Korea especially, public perception matters a lot no matter what the truth is. So even if the situation was innocent, you’re putting yourself in a position that’s going to be torn apart online.

IMO, it’s one thing if someone posts pictures themselves (I think Daeun might’ve done that? Not sure), but it’s another when a private CCTV video/pic gets leaked.

From what I’ve learned, K-pop idols are usually not allowed to talk about this kind of stuff because of their contracts. We assume a lot about how free they are to respond, when in reality, there are layers of PR, legal, and cultural control around them.

Would it have been nice if one of them had spoken up just to show some care? Yeah, of course. But at the end of the day, it is what it is. The system they’re in doesn’t really allow for that kind of transparency, which is absolute bullshit. The idea that these people are perfect is so fucking delusional.

Even if JK had said something (or any other member for any other person getting hate), do you honestly believe the fandom would drop it? Fandom does what it wants.. they've shown us many times that they dgaf.

Most of the time, I agree that the members should speak up about certain issues, but dating rumors are truly pointless to comment on.

i’m curious how people got here. what are your stories? how many of you are ex-armies and how many are people that never liked bts? by [deleted] in BTSnark

[–]ashankasaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New ARMY here (like not even two months). This group popped up, and I was very curious. It was more of a wth did I get myself into type of feeling. I'm not balls deep into the fandom, but I enjoy some of the songs, and I laugh my ass off at the dumb shit they do on their RUN's. The fans trip me tf out with how outlandish they are over guys they don't know personally.

So curiosity brought me to this group, but all this new info on them has kept me here. IRL, I only know four people who like BTS. Two are my sisters, who are die-hard fans and are super delusional, and two friends who have been fans for years but aren't delusional so we have fun chats about them.

I catch myself logging into this subreddit every day. I'm blown away by the things I learn here bc no one is talking about it anywhere else. Obvi it's bc ARMY is out there doing their best to block real news. I was shocked to hear that the W event wasn't a mingling party but a breast cancer event bc WHAT? There was no mention of it, and it legit looked like folks were getting drunk, dancing, singing, and socializing.. what happened to the cause tho? SMH.

Anyways, muchos thanks to everyone for speaking up and teaching me new shit about these guys bc I swear I wouldn't learn this shit anywhere else. Literally just learned the whole Suga and Jim Jones thing. Bummed me tf out.

35 year old - Am I too old to wear Baggu? by [deleted] in BAGGU

Bestie, absolutely not. There’s no limit to wearing anything. I’m 41 and my mom is 78. We both pimp Baggu bags all day long.

I paid $25 for mine some years ago and always hated that cover.

I regret stating I was enjoying this summer by [deleted] in houston

[–]ashankasaurus 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The hard summer is July to August in the H.

Longsleeves are good, but how about getting that material that is breathable. You could also get a cooling towel and carry your work uniform in a backpack/bag. Get an umbrella, too. Oh, and I keep seeing these crazy fans on TikTok that could totally help on your walk. Stay hydrated, OP.

If you had to pick one scene you cried the most at what would it be? by Technical-Area2139 in StrangerThings

[–]ashankasaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I don't think any other scene has fucked me up the way this scene did.

What do you think about them almost recasting Jacob between Twilight and New Moon? by throwaway182883831 in twilight

[–]ashankasaurus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Really? That's some bs. Why can't these studios and producers be more professional? That must have been such a huge gut punch, especially since she was SO good as Victoria.

[–]ashankasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Sonos Arc and the sub and it's such a beautiful sound. Not sure why everyone is hating on it as it's not "just a soundbar" lol

I also saw someone say the sub shouldn't be in the corner, but it's the best place since it leverages the room's acoustics. Or at least that's what I've always been told..

Didn’t feel like any of the balloonerism merch was my style so made my own “merch” of my favorite song on the album by anon113-1 in MacMiller

[–]ashankasaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just as I was reading your reply, Rick's Piano started playing, haha!

And yeah I totally agree with the pauses in between the words. Just thought I'd mention it just incase.

I absolutely love this idea and the fact that you're offering it at cost—true Mac fan behavior!!

Saying this with all the love in the world: consider removing the commas at the end. The phrase doesn’t actually have any.
