#to real army: i stand by you all and to toxic entities in the fandom: go fuck yourself

[jmdbjk]

Are you Army?

You know, we all live different lives. Some of us are students, some of us go to our place of employment every day. Some are just barely making it, some of us are very fortunate financially. Some of us have very large families we care for and some of us have no one but ourselves. 

We are young, old, black, white, brown, a blend of several and rainbow. Female, male, and all genders in between. All sexualities. Some of us have experienced trauma in ways many of us cannot imagine. Some of us are challenged physically and some struggle with mental health issues. We are from a multitude of cultures all over the planet. 

But somehow, we all found our way to BTS. I don’t know, maybe you fell under the spell of RM’s lyrical rap. Or maybe it was SUGA’s big house, big cars, big ring attitude. Maybe it was Jimin’s irrepressible stage presence, Hobi’s sunshiney aura, Taehyung’s or Jin’s other-worldly good looks or Jungkook’s strong vocals. Or their immaculate choreographed performances or could be that Run BTS made you fall in love with them. Maybe it was lyrics to their first songs or maybe Dynamite is what grabbed your attention.

Somehow, something touched you and you reciprocated by becoming obsessed with these 7 guys. All of our BTS journeys are different and this chaotic bunch live in our minds and lives to different degrees depending on our circumstances, tastes and cultures. AND WE LOVE THEM! We love them as a group and we love our faves/bias. We all do the best we can to support them because we appreciate their love and dedication to us. We might be from different places across the world but we all bleed purple!

But...

Some of you need a spanking and not the good kind. 

I don’t know what ever happened in your life to make you so negative, so vicious, so hateful and hurtful. Why must you be so spiteful, jealous and repugnant... and downright violent? The violence that reeks from some of you is very disturbing. You have no respect for others or even yourself. None. 

The members of BTS are not plastic dolls to play with and when you don’t see what you want to see happening, you make false and repulsive statements about them online. They are not one-dimensional entities that only exist in the videos and images you retweet on twitter. They are real human-beings just like you and me with emotions and ambitions and worries, pride, egos, and good days and bad days. One thing they’ve proven over and over, they have a boundless love for their real fans. 

Even though you think your words are aimed at someone else, maybe you are just too young or immature to realize the words you say will weigh on your own soul, they will become heavy to bear over time. You will not be able to escape them eventually. These despicable words that you let fly so easily can fuck with your own mind and self-esteem because the more hatred you spew, the harder it will be to love, not just others, but yourself, too. Your idea of love will be twisted. 

And if you are old enough to know better, then shame on you. 

To me, you are not Army. And I will not let you have power over me. You are useless to me.
