@jodmentum As I said on the birdapp a few days ago (and then got screamed at by the mob) .. Hybe really needs to hire some feminists! Clearly not getting it. 🙄

@jodmentum Good to see Koreaboo using their platform to engage in a discussion. I bet the backlash is already fierce tho from the 'support no matter what' brigade. (Not going to look because I've banned myself from that space for a few days in the interests of my sanity).

The impression I get from GC comments about last night's Stationhead listening party / Live is that JK cares not and is not listening to feedback yet - ah the arrogance of a 26yo adored boy who knows everything! 🙄

@jodmentum @pixelcats so I gave this another listen. And read lyrics to make damn sure I didn't miss anything. IMHO It feels like some dude you're chatting online with with who just wants to hookup. Ahhh come on let me see you IRL I promise I'll treat ya right sexually if you let me. That's not consent kids. Again it feels like a woman being pressured to do something she may not be fully comfortable with. Push enough and eventually she will say yes and submit to you sexually.

@GQB @jodmentum I made a flippant comment about misogyny on the birdapp and got some horrible responses, which .. whatever. I'm not invested over there. But the scariest take from more than one was 'This is not misogyny. Misogyny is when a guy forces you or doesn't please you'. FFS! What are we teaching our girls!?

@pixelcats @GQB @jodmentum i find the discourse fascinating, i hope my R skills/focus suffice to break it down cause i think a significant part of the fandom is at odds between ‘winning’ and accepting disrespect.

@mona @GQB @jodmentum I think that's a good point. So much of the discourse is 'support at all costs' and 'we must make sure they win because they suffered so much in the early days'.

I want them to win always too. But I guess it depends on your definition of winning - great music or chart success!?

@pixelcats @mona @GQB @jodmentum my take on this is that bts is a bit "been there done that" with chart success at this point. like, sure, it's still nice, but it's not really a thing they want to chase anymore.

@pixelcats @GQB @jodmentum @mona @yesterdaychild yeah i may be biased bc i’ve never cared to much about charting but like…I’d rather they get opportunities to grow as artists and make music thats meaningful then get #1 on the charts every time
