[a brutally honest rant about our uncoordinated behavior as a fandom]
welcome to my ted talk. dont cancel me.
welcome to my ted talk. dont cancel me.
ive said this before and ill say it again. i know some of you are eager to shut antis down, and yes, they do deserve it sometimes. but you have to remember. humiliation only makes people madder and saltier. even if you do ‘win’ an argument with an anti, in the long run it’ll ++
only serve to give bts a worse name among haters. goodness knows how many people have decided not to stan bts because of us. that’s a crappy excuse, but like it or not, it’s reality. besides, by engaging with these people, youre not only wasting your time, but you might also ++
embarrass yourselves and, ultimately, the rest of us and even bts as well, indirectly. i know our intentions are good, but the facts are that not all of us are good at maintaining a cool head and being able to think clearly when we are angry.
what we really need is the SELF-CONTROL and the DISCIPLINE to just laugh, block and report, and DO NOT ENGAGE. please. im sure we all know that. every single day there is a tweet that goes sailing through the tl telling us not to pay attention except to block and report. and ++
these tweets blow up, sure, but why then do i still see angry armys in antis’ mentions? we all KNOW that these people just want us there so that they can blow up, but it’s so ironical that we so often give them what they want. every single time an anti tweets, ++
they’ll say “why havent the armeries shown up yet?” and frankly, it’s downright EMBARRASSING. it only goes to show how dreadfully un-united we can be. people always remember the bad things better than the good things, so do antis know us for ++
the massive positive energy we have whenever we want to donate or vote? lol no, they spend their time laughing at us because we have proven time and time again that a large part of our fandom is so easily baited. that has to stop. for REAL. so please, ++
while there is still time before the comeback, PRACTICE. practice shutting your eyes, swallowing your pride, and following the simple steps that you know you should. block, report, and above all, DO NOT ENGAGE. today’s fiasco with c0rpse husb@nd was disappointing. on one hand, ++
the energy that we had for ratioing the tweet was really touching and sweet. but again, there were some of you getting into little spats with locals in the mentions. i dont care if you managed to shut them up or not, the point is that your job was to LIKE and RETWEET ++
the chosen reply only, not to interact with locals. what on earth did you gain from that? nothing. what did you lose? your time and maybe even some of your energy. i know how stressful arguing with antis can get. but here’s the ridiculous part. ++
you wont get off twitter to complete all your requirements irl, but you can spend time arguing with haters when you DONT HAVE TO? lol we really need to practice being quiet before comeback season comes round. ++
i know it sounds remote and cliche, but once we FINALLY learn to only laugh at and ignore haters, we’ll literally be UNTOUCHABLE.
ive finished my rant now, sorry. keep in mind that this is all from everything ive observed, and im not faulting anyone in particular. i just feel like we have so much wasted potential as the most united and the strongest fandom, and im sick of seeing armys waste ++
their precious time and energy on haters. they dont deserve it. anyway i love all of you, really, and remember that we’re all in this together. always.
