Let's talk about the false equivalence fallacy solos use and why none of their arguments actually hold up
"where was this energy for [insert issue of the week]?"
- the majority of ARMY knows to move in silence and only use # for things like racism
- we spread things in DMs, report things that break twitter's TOS, and report things Hybe can take action on to the protect email

- many things - like publicly spreading links to hate blogs - only drives more traffic to them and increases the hate
- if I posted "receipts" for everything I report, my tl would be 80% reports
- it's possible to do multiple things at the same time (shocking!)

"you stan big accounts more than 875"
- mathematically this is just false. Any ARMY is going to have more tweets about the guys
- standing up to mass bullying and the spread of false information isn't stanning. It's common decency
- again, multitasking is a thing

"how does X's ass taste/x isn't going to fck you/here come the x minions"
- personal attacks mean you have nothing of substance to say
- dog-piling because you don't like the person is the performative outrage described in UGH
- again, most ARMY just want the bullying to stop

"they're a known anti"
- known because someone made a thread about them that takes tweets out of context and adds their own interpretation of the tweets?
- next time a solo uses this on you, ask them to explain why they're an anti using their own words

- next time a solo uses this on you, ask them to explain why they're an anti using their own words
- another thing to do is send them a link with a search term from that person's account. The number of tweets someone has about a member/topic doesn't equal how much they love them, but it's pretty clear what are ARMY tweets vs what are anti tweets
"K-ARMY are saying [insert sht take here]
- K-ARMY aren't a monolith
- the K side has solo, mantis, stalkers, etc - just like every country
- solos will take a single tweet from a K solo and pretend it's the majority opinion
- K-ARMY aren't a monolith

"[member] only has [solo stan nickname]"
- the guys are all part of BTS. ARMY support BTS
- not supporting brand ranking, articles, donating funds to solo bases, etc doesn't equal not supporting an individual member
- none of their solo achievements are the work of solos alone
- the guys are all part of BTS. ARMY support BTS
- not supporting brand ranking, articles, donating funds to solo bases, etc doesn't equal not supporting an individual member

"they never promote brand ranking/saying brand ranking doesn't matter means you're an x anti"
- solo brand ranking doesn't matter because BTS only do endorsements as a group
- no poll is needed to know that BTS are the most in demand group for advertisements. Money talks

And once you provide them with info dispelling the misinformation, "I'm not reading all that"
- they either had time to read the "expose" thread and are choosing to stay ignorant of new information
- or they never read the original thread and are happy to remain a sheep

Tips to help solos expose their own hypocrisy:
- don't get dragged into side arguments. Stay on track and get them to explain their own faulty logic of their original point
- ask them to explain things in their own words
- don't fall for false equivalence

- don't fall for false equivalence
- the point of engaging with solos isn't to change their mind. It's to 1) stand up against bullying and misinformation and 2) for new ARMY or ARMY who weren't online when something happened. Solos speak confidentially even when they're being stupid, so if you weren't around when
x happened, their confidence legitimizes their version of events.
Final thought: you never have to defend yourself as an ARMY to a solo stan when they're OT1
