Need to shove this in everyone faces, being loud and publicly against the genocide of Palestinians has no negative effect on your shows and movies success chances.
Okay Purple Soldiers, Let's Go!

Can we talk about how BH didn’t go “I’m going to make another BTS” to expand their growth but instead decided “I’m going to remake the entire industry to better serve BTS and all future artists”
If you don’t understand that the solo mixtapes for BTS are designed to built their individual artistry and musicianship growth and NOT their individual celebrity, you really need to find someone else to stan. Plenty of idols out there in it for the fame and not the music.
Stan twt has poisoned the well & reduced music to rankings on industry manipulated platforms.
BTS can disappear from every chart forever but if stadiums are still being filled & albums bought & music talked about, they'll have a more valuable career than most chart toppers.
BTS is such a household name that Palestinian children have been seen wearing clothing with their brand on it multiple times.
Whether you like it or not, we as fans are responsible for using our platform to dismantle the oppressive systems that target these children.
The little thermometer is moving!!

Also, there is no point in having pride in "BTS paving the way" if you want to erect a gate and ban other artists from walking on that paved way.
I suggest you listen to Snooze a little more and get a better idea of how bangtan feel about their juniors and industry colleagues.
At the risk of being labeled "company stan" by ppl so deep in Kpop industry caves.
I would like to point out, that BH has indeed on some occasions made some very effective and wise choices that are fundamental to the Bangtan experience:
A 🧵+
You do realise if artists start noticing the boycott affecting their comeback that would help them put pressure on HYBE for basically getting in the way of their success?
You do realize posts like this promote Hobi to a new audience via common interests?
The only reason you'd be mad at this is if you don't want Palestinian supporters to join the fandom.
Here we go again!
The boycott target is HYBE KOREA because they have the power to remove Scooter which is the main Goal of the boycott,
Our goal is not to make him broke it’s to get him Deplatformed!
But also he sits on the board of HYBE Korea so he does profit from BTS.
I didn't wanna talk about boycott anymore. I'm tired atp but I have drawn this to make you understand that you are not giving money to 🛴by streaming BTS

These pop ups are a great target for in person protest,

Still only 15% into the book, but a note on the translation.
It is very clearly this book was written with ARMY as an intended audience. It heavily uses terms and a translation style that assumes the reader regularly consumes Korean pop content in the fan translation style.

A lot of people seem to have missed this. If you didn’t buy a concert ticket because of concert time there is now an alternative time and second stream for both days.
Spread the word.
Scoot is not just "one man" he is a connection of zionists in the media space with financial & cultural influence that has now stretched from US to Korea b/c of his merger with HYBE.
I beg you please stop reducing his impact & the dangers of his ideologies for your comfort
You do realise we have the unique opportunity to set a precedent and example that we as direct consumers and fans of musicians have the power and right to demand better/de-platform the CEOs of these labels.
If we get any kind of damage on scooter it might snowball
@_noonabear_
And she’s had a relatively younger career about to hit its peak, she is arguably in one of the more vulnerable positions and still shows that being unwavering and committed cannot slow her momentum. No excuses for anyone anymore.
This is the voice and face of an industry that lies to themselves because they’re scared a group that has nothing to do with them is actually making a real impact.
Still feels deeply sick how mantis will more easily dump all the blame on BTS’ chosen Korean team but not give any energy to corrupt western industry practices.

Arrived late to the stadium, lines so long we were panicked about not having time to get batteries for our lightsticks and this amazing group of ARMY just dropped everything and gave us batteries from their stash .

Reminder than BTS are Korean men.
Korean ethnically, culturally, linguistically and moreover they are decorated Korean citizens
You as a foreign fan will not get away with insults to their identity because of corporate and press drama.
The xenophobia needs to stop now.
Hybe USA is already in the negatives, Please consider joining at least some of the divestment campaign efforts, we have a legit shot at booting scooter from Hybe and de-platforming a powerful zionist in the industry.

5- Wings Solos.
Probably Bang Pds highest moment imo. Was him deciding that Wings would have a solo song for each member, pushing some of the shyer and less experiences members to start to explore their own voices.
Guys, this discourse about JITB not being a proper release is weird.
Millions of artists globally have moved on from CDs, you wouldn’t say Lorde’s last album wasn’t an official album because it had no CD. We are getting a pre -release single & a festival performance as promo.
The biggest scam in kpop is that they've convinced you you can spend your money to promote an idol's image. It's a relic of fansite culture that is a breeding ground for scammers and ppl who want to leach off the fame of others.

4- RUN BTS!
When BTS were being mistreated and barred from tradition variety show programs, they decided to make their own.
BH knew how charismatic the boys were and used Vlive to get that image out.
7- Connect BTS
I WILL NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT THIS!
Inspired by Bangtan's interests, the vision behind MOTS 7 this was one of the most creative projects in all pop music history.
The fandom needs a cleanse, either learn and adapt and get with the new longevity program or MOVE ON to the next shiny chart topping toy.
The rest of us are purple bonded for life and we'd like to stan in peace.
Thank you.
1- The Logs.
BH choice to encourage the tannies to communicate openly with fans from pre-debut to leverage YT as a platform for fan connection when they had little to no ability to promote on traditional Idol industry platforms.
Okay Purple Soldiers, Let's Go!

Private meetings with the President currently enacting genocide on Palestinians, this is not a personal belief, we demand HYBE remove Scooter Braun from any influence over their artists and work.

10-Solo mixtape freedom
The decision that all members are free to create solo music (with support of company resources) as long as they take the executive creative lead.
This is key as it allowed them space to evolve outside K-IDOL industry limitations.
6- The BU + Lumpens
The launch of the BU in HYYH was ingenious and the development of the cinematic approach to their concepts and thematics was brought to life by their first collaboration with the lumpens team.
8- The Tour Documentaries.
I feel like this need to explanation. The team who decided to use iconic BTS tours and launch the now well beloved documentaries where geniuses.
3- American Hustle Life
Yes, some parts are cringe and problematic, but the vision behind this show is incredibly valuable to BTS' story as a whole.
it's a good demo of how they can mess up up but also do good too.
11- Branding
The creatives in BH have done some incredible design and brand work across BTS history. So much so that MULTIPLE BTS brand projects have been up for and won prestigious awards.
Including their own logo + ARMY logo, LY era branding.
WE REACHED THE FIRST MILESTONE!! 💜🥳🎉🎇

Nothing else demonstrated how much of a community was built around BTS as this first live fan event that brought in thousands to experience Bangtan content even without the boys present.
Special shout out to

@sopeluver
for your priceless help. And to everyone who cheered and showed excitement for a random tweet I sent out today.
I still think all HYBE fandoms who are attending live events should consider wearing/ giving out flags and/or kuffiyehs.
It would be a sweet & peaceful show of solidarity with Palestine.

As someone who grew up in a part of the world with no access to live theater, I completely agree with this. Musical Theater/ Theater in general needs to be more accessible.
Do you know how sickening it is to even contemplate that every future BTS release will still have that man’s name printed on it, he’ll still push his Zionists into their music through A&R. And if we all don’t collectively push to get him out we risk further associations.
That Merch line isn’t inspired.
It’s not tied to any album or comeback, isn’t related to a live event or concert.
It should be the most unifying target for boycott in this fandom.
I urge everyone to refrain from buying anything from that drop and to encourage others to do so,
Okay trying some baby language:
Boycott target 🎯 is HYBE profit💰 to pressure them to 🥾 Scooter since he is on THEIR BOARD.
Boycotting Scooter does nothing as he will not remove himself.
So we target HYBE as their consumers so they target Scooter as his boss
Get it?
Didn’t think I’d need to clarify this, but this is a message to showrunners, casting directors, producers etc… who may use a false fear of financial backlash to threaten/silence or punish actors from speaking.
Because clearly there was none in Bridgerton.
I didn’t want to touch this, but as someone involved with the BDS movement for over 10 years now since I was in college, Boycotting works when it is targeted with clear goals and desired outcomes.
And sometimes it not even the right tool. +
Like sorry to break it to you, but those billboards and "promotional" b-day projects do nothing but make you as a fan feel more powerful and stoke your ego. None of these things are based on how real marketing works and how to get tangible results.
The fact that a Korean album is
#1
in the 5 largest music markets in the world. It's the 13th most spoken language on the planet, and it's resonating with everyone.
#BTSWORLDDOMINATION
Something to keep in mind, our fandom goals may not necessarily align with BTS’ goals for any given release.
While it’s fun for us to organise around the goals we can see, they have an entirely different set of metrics that they’re aiming for that we aren’t privy to.
@Hazard12530
I don't think people should "expect" anything of BTS, I do think more of us could share issues we are going through (globally) openly among the fandom community and visibly to them, because it is a part of our identities. like they share their issues we could share ours back.
@ShiloTsukasa
Colplay and artists like them had a period where they peaked on charts and won all the awards, but that doesn't last it's all industry momentum and when that dies they need a stong listening base and that's how they're still relevant today.
This is how I know most people on the tl haven’t been to any protest for Palestine or even looked into them. most of these parties have been present and supportive of every march in the country since Oct.
Using red scare tactics, like we haven’t seen or dealt with this before.
