Over the years, although BTS has genuine fans and supports all 7 members, there are also toxic individuals. They are the ones who incite or cause hatred towards one or a few members in any way for other ARMYs to be manipulated and followed.
In particular, a few hours ago, ARMYs started a heated controversy on SNS after a video was spread in which Jimin bashed actions. It has caused a large number of fans, especially ARMY shippers, to flood in and leave criticisms at each other, even if they don't know if it's right or wrong.
The truth behind the video was finally found out but ARMYs нυят each other and this teaches a lesson:
BTS has always been a united group and so are ARMYs. But of course, among the millions of fans around the world, there will be bad guys who seek to destroy that unity.
And one of the types of people that true ARMYs fear and hate the most are those who hate one or a few members of the group or, sick shippers with the desire to bring down the other members. These guys always find a way to get other fans to oppose or hate the member they target in order to satisfy their ̾d̾i̾r̾t̾y ̾ mindset.
Recently, a video that went viral online has attracted the attention of many ARMYs. In it, a large group of ARMYs gathered after watching BTS: Yet To Come In Cinemas and they started making familiar fanchants about the members. They shout out the names of the group members one by one until the end.
It would have stopped if it was just a normal fanchant but some controversy started to break out claiming that some of the ARMYs in the video were Jimin's haters because they didn't call out Jimin's name when it was his turn but just read it. other members' names or especially Jungkook and V's names. This caused Jimin lovers to start criticizing Vkook shippers and vice versa, while Jimin and Jungkook lovers started criticizing V and his fans. Not only that, Jungkook's fans also started to join the controversy…
Offensive words began mercilessly for the maknae line and it was extremely chaotic:
- Jungkook has been ѕєχualized, analyzed and villainized since he was a MINOR, constantly used to facilitate their rєєpч fantasies but when sḧïẗ ḧïẗs the fan he never receives their protection. Why leave him out? Anyways…
- Why can't I say FREE JUNGKOOK frm every person who brings hate for him. Why can't I say FREE TAEHYUNG, FREE JIMIN frm every other person who brings hate for them. Why do I jeed to generalize a whole fandom? Why do I need to say "all shippers, ARMYs" + WE LOVE YOU TAEHYUNG
- Instead of asking Jk to grow some balls, why not u grow some brains? Y'all's lunatic behavior. Spare him with your nonsense. You all hate him but insanely needs his validation. U wacko. WE LOVE YOU JUNGKOOK
- It’s so ḟüċḳing simple. Like just make a statement that he’s not ḟüċḳing Taehyung and never has been? Or more diplomatic words to that effect? Like grow some balls and risk losing a toxic part of your fandom in order to show some integrity?
- ARMY should understand that BTS is in the solo era and they need their own fans. Armys are fans of Jimin from BTS, not fans of Park Jimin, the solo artist, and let's be honest most of the ARMY shipper. That's why they are angry when they see Jimin getting his own fans.
- Jimin is out, Jungkook and Taehyung is the best
- Vkook is always no.1, no one can replace them, Jimin deserves this
But some other sane ARMYs later discovered that the posted video had been edited and that it belonged to a Jimin's hater account. This person tried to post the video to incite incitement and hatred among ARMYs. In fact, ARMYs called out the members' names with equal loudness and no one was bashed in the video.
The haters tried to make it a bigger and uglier story for ARMYs and even BTS to get нυят. After all, under the label of “ARMY” and acting as if to claim justice for Jimin is a plot of a bad guy. He seems to have achieved his goal as ARMYs try to нυят each other.
Other genuine ARMYs are trying to spread the truth to stop this melee and before it reaches the ears of the BTS members:
- Hi, this is a subjective post intended to create malice and trigger hate. I attended the same blockscreening and there wasn't any member that was left out in the cheers nor fanchants throughout the whole event. I am Jimin-biased, too, but I don't share your observation.
- These tkkrs run accounts with little 7s here, have the biggest "army accounts", will be besties with all big accounts and basically run the fandom narrative and brainwash new armys. That's the reason for a lot of behavior and different treatment towards jm we already know
- Yall first need to double check who’s the person posting it’s clearly edited
- Mind you, this has been going on for a long time. They did it at PTD concerts and even at Busan concert you could see how loud and proud. the jm antis are with rest of the fandom keeping silent when they started trying to chant BTS BTS over the people trying to sing hbd to him
- it's always the maknae line shippers like leave them alone, do you not understand that vminkook will literally sacrifice you for each other's safety???
- Who is targeting the maknae line again ? I am getting so mad and so tired of this!!! LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!!!!!!!
The lesson to be learned here is to love all 7 or not and be careful with all information on SNS!
