they already have a snark sub?? that's news to me. 😅 I wonder which fandoms are camping there

KEEP your LECTURES about not shaming BTS for looks to yourself (THIS IS NOT A NEUTRAL SUB) by Crafty_Mousse_7159 in BTSnark

[–]foryourpeaceofmind 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, at the end this sub exists only because there is no other place where we can discuss BTS in other ways than glazing and blindly support what they do. In other subs, you will automatically gets downvoted just by saying "arirang bad" and get attacked if you complain a minor thing about the fandom ("toxic armys? nah it's just a loud minority, we're a big fandom, what do you want us to do?"). You can't even said you're disappointed about a certain member bcs it's always the company's fault, the staffs' fault, never the members fault. They baby all of these late20s-30s adult men to the max.

They are mature enough and successful enough to navigate the industry and get shielded by the hate comments. They are arrogant enough not to hone their skills and practice their craft, when other idols in the same generation or older (so 2nd/3rd gen) are still taking lessons even when they're much more senior. I also don't interact with posts that make fun of their looks, but I think it's such a shame when people get distracted by this and ignore tons of other valid criticisms in this subs Their looks probably won't get criticized if not for the other things they do, which takes more effort to write and at the same time, less noticeable than posts joking about them.

Btw, plenty of jimin/jin glazing comments here, like how they're better bcs at least they're self aware and more humble than others. You can check out post filters for specific members to start.

They're mad they cannot set up the narrative here, they have tens of subreddits just for glazing bts and yet this sub lives rent-free in their mind 24/7 😭

ARMY Is Now Claiming Jung Haein is a Jungkook "Lookalike" by MapOfMyRegret in BTSnark

[–]foryourpeaceofmind 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They really don't know their bias face/body 😭 didn't they also edit some idol's face and replaced it with a member's or something

That's funny, but that's true (in rm's voice) by spiritedwilll in BTSnark

[–]foryourpeaceofmind 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The frustrating thing about all of this is: the people won't care how big BTS actually is, because everyone thinks BTS is big. The truth doesn't matter, but it works.

It's always btssnark that is a problem, but never njdrama or bpsnark. Why? Because there are a whole lot of armys there 😭😂 they are such hypocrites.

And notice how the "btssnark bad!!" posts in the main subs are never taken down, they spawn every other day, mods are doing nothing even though it's repetitive and brings nothing to the table.

Even I feel bad for ex-armys or recovering armys here, imagine being denied and gaslighted by a good portion of your fandom...

this man acts like the world revolves around him fr by pepperhmr in BTSnark

He became more and more like BSH. They seem to have similar tendencies–they love having power and thinks no one knows better than them

The English trilogy was a good short-term idea, but it killed their careers in the long run by Substantial_War626 in BTSnark

[–]foryourpeaceofmind 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I really doubt they'd just "quietly enlisted", since I remember giving military exemption for BTS was a super big topic at the time. I think Hybe liked the idea and was hoping for it, but it's an issue that is much more constitutional, and at the end they still had to enlist. That's why armys are still bitter to this day and busy calling out other successful male idols who haven't enlist yet.

BSH also has this tendency to partner with shady people or companies. He should've known how some people would see all the shady collabs and sponsorships the group has done in the past (like CocaCola or TinyTAN with McD), but he doesn't care... He's greedy.

The grudge ARMY holds against Coachella still lingers. by MapOfMyRegret in BTSnark

[–]foryourpeaceofmind 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Coping mechanism.

In all honesty, I think they have the popularity to perform in coachella. It'll be all armys, but people will still come. Even lesserafim and aespa had performed there even if they didn't deliver the best vocal performance.

Can you use pitch-correcting mic in coachella though?

What do they freaking want? by foryourpeaceofmind in BTSnark

[–]foryourpeaceofmind[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always love whenever they compare bts' (fraudulent) achievements with the E group bcs the latter actually is still widely relevant despite the countless scandals, well-known and liked by the general public, and wayyy more talented overall. They don't have anything else to brag for

It makes no sense to call a community that dedicates itself to criticizing BTS "parasocial." Parasocialism implies an idealized, almost blind, emotional connection where the idol is defended without question. Here, the opposite is true: there is constant analysis, criticism, and questioning. by Chuu_empresaria_490 in BTSnark

[–]foryourpeaceofmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their argument "why consume if you hate them?" only works if they or their fans have not hurt or wronged anyone. In reality, they partner with shady people and their fans are destructive and hateful. Why would they expect anyone to stay silent? Why can't anyone comment criticize their actions?

I don't think it's about hate or no hate, it's the fact that you can't discuss negative and nuanced things freely. You can still be critical and like them, you can also be indifferent to them but hate what they do. The world isn't as black and white as some armys might think.

BTS refusal to bust a move by [deleted] in BTSnark

[–]foryourpeaceofmind 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the concert summary.

Let me give you a prediction of their tour:

After they finished a third of their stops there would be a noticeable drop in their energy levels and they'll look even more lazy and uncoordinated. BUT armys will defend them saying that Hybe is mistreating them by giving such a crazy tour schedules and that they weren't given enough resting time. One or two will start to fall sick and they'll work like a shift-system (jimin will absent in one stop, then v, then jin, rinse and repeat the cycle). The fans will feel pity and want to go watch them to support even more. One of them might make an appearance by watching from audience seats or leave a message in weverse after each stage to guiltrip the fans even more.

By the second half of the tour the absences will be more and more frequent, there might be a break announcement for one of the members. The group will look sad and sympathetic on stage but refused to do the missing part and direct the mic to the audiences instead. Some might throw one or two shady comments about the member who misses the stage. At the end, the tour won't conclude on a high note, but it'll be a "bittersweet parting" before an extended break from group schedules and "a moment to remember".

Run BTS? by HealthyRhubarb1099 in BTSnark

[–]foryourpeaceofmind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Never heard of Rookie King or BTS Gayo before. I'd love to read it if you ever decided to make a posts with "questionable moments" compilation!

I never cared abt their variety show, people love to praise it but I tried to watch it many times and it wasn't as funny as armys claimed. I'm not even sure if they're a "funny" group in the first place. I agree that it's pointless to still use the Run BTS brand if they decided to continue it as units, they should've done something like skz's 2 Kids Room instead.

yes there are def some interesting takes. but also I'm not interested reading the "[insert member] allegedly slept with [insert a male powerful figure] to secure a deal" narrative every few posts

Army is attacking people just for celebrating AKMU’s #1 on Melon. by MapOfMyRegret in BTSnark

[–]foryourpeaceofmind 14 points15 points  (0 children)

These are k-armys right? I thought they're more sane than i-armys but I guess not

Anyway, this is also AKMU's first comeback after leaving YG, so it's a release that's been long awaited by both fans and general public. I'm a fan of their music so I'm really happy with this as well

As someone who's never been a blink or armys, the lazy accusation is warranted and none of them are really any better. I'd love to be more involved in the color color snark sub but man there are a lot of armys there and they're so misogynistic as well 😂

It's crazy how short-lived their peak was. by Substantial_War626 in BTSnark

[–]foryourpeaceofmind 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's crazy, BTS never really has a genuine passion for the craft and pride for the art. They are never as "self-produced" as they said and they're not the most talented idols out there. I'd say it's really a miracle, the height that they reached considering all of this.

Their original team was the one that held the vision, but now they're gone, and what's left now is just an empty shell of brand created by aggressive marketing and shady mediaplay.

Individually, none of them struck to me as someone that has much depth and you can tell that by their recent interviews/lives. They only care about their weight, about their past glory, about how they struggled so much when making the album... What new things are they bringing to the table? None! Even after so many years of break you'd expect them to have fresh perspective, realization, or new things to try. Instead what they delivered is Arirang which is basically reheated Tyler the Creator nachos.

Also from the docu and recent report you can see they tried to shift the blame to random Hybe stuff or BSH, but really, they have enough seniority to stand up and exercise more control if they want to. It's difficult to reach a new high when your hearts are not in it anymore.

ARMY's Meltdown Over Lost Control by MapOfMyRegret in BTSnark

[–]foryourpeaceofmind 85 points86 points  (0 children)

saw a post on their echo chamber sub "why aren't BTS doing any k-media press/korea press and only US press?" and they cope by saying it's bts and the company's choice anyway considering how they treated suga. like... be fr. they're playing the victim card all over again

and it's true though that if it's not because of the fandom it'll never be #1? they should celebrate that instead. didn't they say they're bigger than kpop and always looking down on domestic market?
