Hi guys. I felt like I need to make this post because of my post "My explanation for BTS" Okay, since this keeps coming up, I’m going to clear the air so I don’t have to do this every time someone comments. I’m not posting this to be mean, and I’m definitely not posting it just to target one person or even just one group. I posted this because the conversation around these comparisons has been missing basic context. People keep comparing other groups to a group to a 13-year-old global empire as if they’re in the same league. They’re not. Scale matters. When you’ve been a billion-dollar industry machine for over a decade, the expectations, the scrutiny, and the "mistakes" hit differently than they do for a debut. That’s the point. It’s not hate; it’s perspective. I also had to delete a significant number of comments that went way past simple critique into pure rudeness and targeting groups I stan and targeting me. So please don’t act like I’m just out here bullying them for fun while ignoring the fact that the discourse here has been pretty wild. I’m not here to gatekeep your taste or invalidate your love for BTS. You can have loved them since whenever and still acknowledge that the group has become repetitive. You can have another group as your ult and still respect BTS’s history. These things aren’t mutually exclusive. I didn’t post this to upset anyone. I posted it because a key logical detail was being ignored in favor of feelings. I shared my own opinion. Plenty of people do the same. If you’re still upset, that’s on you. I’m not taking it back, but I am asking for basic civility. Let’s keep it respectful. Thank you.
