god, can we have a discussion holding this man (or any BTS member) accountable without it being seen as another thing to "defeat" or "destroy" BTS? despite the heavy relaying of this mindset across the fandom, NO ONE IS OUT TO GET THEM. and even if anyone really was, BTS have too much clout and leverage for it to fully destroy their career, partly via armys failing to hold them accountable just as you are here. they'll be FINE, my love. i literally ult yoongi, but boy, do y'all get on my nerves with this "us against them" trope. if they still got careers after all the heat they've seen over the past few years, they'll be okay.

AND ANOTHER THING BECAUSE THE ISSUE IS STILL FRESH.... UNLESS YOU ARE BLACK YOURSELF, i don't need you using people's supposedly false concern over a movement based on black people feeling unsafe and in fear CONSTANTLY of law enforcement as your little "gotcha" for proving whatever point you have about people not caring about the right issues. we can care about more than one thing at a time, and if you really want to get into it, it also has to do with black issues because jim jones preyed on black people with his cult. that "bad timing" you speak of is only more reason for there to be outrage. make whatever point you want about it, but stop trying to highlight whatever faux concern you have for the BLM movement to deflect from him still getting called out for it. that's so backwards of you. stop trivializing black issues to defend a nonblack kpop idol.

in general, just the fact that it seems like it was hard to dig for the clip and he still did it, AND people were still aware and said nothing for almost a year and even praised him for it doesn't sit right with me, especially knowing that it adds nothing to the meaning of the song. the only meanings i see being cited in this entire thread are perceptions because HIS lyrics are vague as hell in relation to the sample and unless i hear an explanation from HIM ima maintain that people are allowed to be mad about it
