As we continue to engage in digital advocacy, let's think about nuances of multi-layered contexts. What language is being used to describe the efforts of ARMYs? We are resisting and engaging in important work but media calls it "pranks". Let's counter that. (1/5)
Think about Western artists that are known advocates like Lady Gaga who asks her Little Monsters to help. Are they facing political backlash and danger like we are? Is this because we like an Asian group? Let's call that out. (2/5)
ARMYs is a global fanbase. We aren't only involved in American affairs, but we do good work worldwide. Let's remind them of this. (3/5)
Besides being ARMYs, we have other identities as voters, citizens under political systems and we should have a right to advocate. How come the media focus is reducing us to being 'kpop stans'? We are much more. How come other people are not reduced to their interests? (4/5)
If we dont continue to advocate, these injustices continue. If we fear retaliation and how this harms 875 etc., think about their music and how they inspire us to change the world. We can stand our ground, point out all of the above and also tread with critical thinking (5/5)
