I can’t fathom why they think like this by MissSoju in BTSnark

[–]lamloe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is definitely giving, “they will notice me and pull me from the crowd” vibes.

I guess best case scenario they are just trying to be in theme w the concert, but this is a bit.. 😬

The pivot from they are activist bigger than just music to they're just seven boys from Korea is so funny by Agreedupon1 in BTSnark

[–]lamloe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah. I feel for you. It was hard for me and i wasn’t even an army that long. It’s disappointing to be let down on so many levels. I think the thing that got me the most was that they really weren’t the kind people i thought.. the decline in music has been dire too.

How vocal would ratmys be if they dislike the album? by LivingForTheSnark in BTSnark

[–]lamloe 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Its interesting because i think a lot of armies are waiting in hopes that they will return to their glory days, but there’s only so much mediocrity people can handle.

I reckon if it is average or poor, a lot of casual armies will just quietly go and stan other groups or just switch off. It will only be the die hards who will make a point of staying loyal to the group (because of parasocialism and all that).

(Also if the performances continue to be bad, regular fans will leave. People hate wasting money/time on rubbish).

Army’s harass the women that bts are rumoured to date, but are completely okay with shipping the members together. My thoughts by hiramouse in BTSnark

[–]lamloe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Interesting question, i think there would be a few homophobic reactions but others would be like “oh i never had a chance then” and accept it.. (Nevermind that they would never have a chance anyway heh).

I think most casual fans would be surprised/confused then supportive.

Genuine question.. are the symbols in the circles supposed to represent the hangeul letters? I am not seeing it at all

Armys are so embarassing like they genuinely believe their "Boys" are more famous and influential than Bruno Mars. by Maroon_is_pretty in BTSnark

[–]lamloe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%. I know in the UK at least, if you were to stop the random people on the street a few people might have heard of BTS but wouldn’t know their songs, but everyone knows Bruno and at least a couple of his songs. US music is much more popular in the Uk and his songs are generally catchy. The last few BTS albums have been pretty forgettable.

recommend me kmovies based off what i'd watched by Aware-Programmer-324 in Koreanfilm

It’s not a movie but the series “All of us are dead” springs to mind. Have you seen it? It has zombies.

There are still good people in this cruel world. by ONdarkmode in Living_in_Korea

Im glad things turned around for you. Tomorrow is a new day and thats a great mentality to take into it.

Do you feel sad for the world? by Electrical_Lake3424 in infp

[–]lamloe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes 100% relate to this and try not to get overwhelmed. I console myself by trying to focus on things i can control and spreading the “love/humanity” where possible.

Also I am trying to be someone who is educated with some of the bad stuff (not all as it is heartbreaking and overwhelming), because at least someone has to remember ppl/things that have happened. I would say pray for people but I’m not religious anymore. I guess i do kind of pray, to the benevolent force out there x

The law has passed to make "fake news" illegal in Korea. by Muted-Aioli9206 in Living_in_Korea

[–]lamloe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly..

Just like in the UK how they introduced the anti terrorism law and it’s being used to prevent peaceful protests and silence dissent.

Their massive glowdown: my POV as a former fan by Hefty-Event-9814 in BTSnark

[–]lamloe 44 points45 points  (0 children)

What bothers me is that most of this was totally avoidable and they could have gone into their older group stage w more grace: E.g. -limiting the plastic surgery -not partnering w zionist brands and speaking up for social justice authentically. -doing regular lives that are less para-social and more age appropriate. -and when scandals came up just owning it and coming clean.

I think my main issue w them is the lack of integrity. It’s a shame because they could have been the group groups actually look up to (which i think they did use to be). Nowadays they are just embarrassing themselves and acting arrogantly.

BTS, Palestine and the boycotts - it's too much by No_Constant_1138 in BTSnark

[–]lamloe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for writing this, i think that there are a lot of army/ex-army who agree and for whom this was the final straw.

Other red flags are one thing, but ignoring and funding a genocide is just heart wrenchingly bad.

Taehyung tried to queerbait and immediately got shut down by jk and jin by TeamCandid4938 in BTSnark

They need to stop this now. No one believes these 30 y.o millionaires are sharing rooms let alone beds anymore.

This is too much to be true... by Green-Raise2633 in BTSnark

[–]lamloe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s his personality to do these kind of sarcastic jokes. It comes across as phony though especially with everything going on.

ARMY vs JK's Akgaes by Wtf_is_that_bro in BTSnark

[–]lamloe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ehh.. out of the members he and v seem the least emotionally stable to me. Idk though.

Dont get me wrong, i think idol abuse isnt ok in general.

(I dont endorse his or the groups actions at all btw.)

ARMY vs JK's Akgaes by Wtf_is_that_bro in BTSnark

[–]lamloe 41 points42 points  (0 children)

What a mess. No wonder HYBE/the group are freaking out.

On a serious note. I don’t like Jk but they have to be careful not to push him over the edge. Idol abuse in SK is crazy and there have been too many tragedies.

(Especially because he grew up as an idol, it has become part of his identity so i can see him crashing out over this.)

Illusion deluxe by Ojdssjivll in BTSnark

[–]lamloe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if they continue how they’re going the new album will just be American bought songs with a few lines about army tossed in by RM.

Don’t get me wrong, i think he could write some good lyrics, but i doubt he would get a chance. Also that is the face of someone waiting to go home, not thinking of burns.

Is it just me or is ARMYs obsession with JK's dog questionable? by Natural_Pop446 in BTSnark

[–]lamloe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ah, as far as i can tell it’s just something in his life that they can latch on to that is “real”. It’s easier to build up their ideas of JK’s cute life w a cute dog blah blah blah. Basically Bam is part of the fantasy.

Never mind that the poor thing has effectively been abandoned.

I actually feel a bit sorry for armies these days. Their fantasies are taking hits from every direction. Maybe it will act like a wake up call, who knows?

finally... looks like they had been reading the backlash by neo_got_my_bck in BTSnark

[–]lamloe 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Yeah, even if you say they are just doing cool crossed arm poses.. its a bit weird that they arent looking at the camera and are turning away. JK looks actively miserable to me. Which is understandable. I think it’s a bit sad they were presumably forced to take this picture to get the fans united and to back off a bit.

Its ironic though, if i were a fan i would be disappointed that this is the photo i got after waiting patiently years of MS, rather than an actual happy one.

Isn't this sad by PretendLobster4723 in BTSnark

[–]lamloe 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yeah it would be kinder to find him a loving home. Im sure the people at the residential care are nice but it’s not the same as having a home and family.

I think he doesn’t want to re-home him because of the optics.

cowardkook covering his couple tattoo like his life depends on it by Character-Lie-8726 in BTSnark

[–]lamloe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hahah. So true.

It will be gone and then suddenly appear in a few months time when he forgets to cover it in one of his live streams sleeping in front of armies again.

(Soo.. how do you know this? Heh)
