it’s been a while since i’ve been on here but i saw this tweet and op made some points but i would like to add my thoughts

this comes from my experience in this fandom for the past 5 years. nobody asked but i’m gonna ramble a bit

the idea that you’re obligated to fight for bts is concerning. staning bts is not supposed to be stressful for you. if you log in everyday and you’re mad and upset every time you scroll the timeline then maybe you need to reconsider the content you subject yourself to

not everybody is in the state of mind to engage in conflict everyday. it’s okay to mute conflict and focus on things that make you happy. this might be a little controversial but at the end of the day bts are famous and wealthy. they don’t need you to sacrifice your mental health

by all means defend them and their reputation if you’re able because not all of us are. but do not feel obligated. they’ll be okay regardless. you on the other hand. have your own life and your own mental health to protect

this might also be controversial but attacking people because you think they only stan ships or certain members is so ridiculous to me. who made the rule book? the world is too messed up right now for anyone to gatekeep people’s happiness in fandom

stan what you want and who you want. stream whenever you want to listen to the music. as long as you remain respectful nothing else should matter.

let’s stop moving like a cult and be kinder to one another
