He made a generalization and called the whole fandom 15 years old fangirls.
First of all, it’s far from the truth. BTS fandom are growing up with them and ARMY sold out entire stadiums or expensive clothes in one hour so this buying power is coming from somewhere. Spotify, Melon stats or whatever are pretty clear : BTS have one of the most diverse fanbases, they have more men and grow-ups in their fans/casual listeners than your average boy groups. Kpop Source is not gonna like this truth. I saw some of you stating several times that BTS owned their success to their obsessed teenage fangirls. As if your faves were mostly supported by 50 years old wise men and women.
This generalization is mysoginistic in itself. Once again, someone is making a joke on women's interest as if they were less worthy than men'interests. God forgives women if they like romances or boy groups. It's their hormones speaking for them, not their brain. What brain anyways ?
Most of my ARMY friends are in their twenties like me though I obviously know some teenage ARMY and there is nothing wrong about being supported by 15 years old anyways. They have a brain. They can reflect too.
It's sad how the groups promotes anti-bullying and the fandom is toxic & continues to bully other people for having different opinions. Suhyun's situation is just one of many. And it's just sad.
Is this okay? No I don't think so.
I love BTS. I hate the fandom. And that's for every group to be honest. We all just need some more respect I guess.
What happened to Suhyun is really sad and she did not deserve it at all but I hope that you are showing the same energy toward others fandoms when they are shading on BTS. Guess what ? I know you don't. You are speaking about Jimin's birthday ? Last year some K-fandoms and their international counterparts made him trend all day long for his birthday calling him a gorilla. They did a hashtag for that knowing well that BTS are really active on Twitter.
Later on, this year, some toxic Blinks and others fandoms made Jimin and RM trend again. They accused RM of raping Lisa and they slandered Jimin, they slut-shamed him, they misgendered him and mocked his appereance. They were everywhere on Twitter and made some vile videos on Instagram. It's a daily episode of what is going on against BTS for years. This time it was particularly heart-breaking because they both saw it and they posted a photo the day after to say that they were okay when they barely spoke about the hate that they receive.
Most ARMY are chill, they mind their own business. You hate the ARMY fandom because of a loud minority ? Hate all the Kpop fandoms equally then or realize your hypocrisy.
