@bibillyhills__ @colorfuleutony @yoonify This is ONE example. There are tons of videos of them being helped backstage, w/oxygen, etc. it’s still shitty that people want that instead of the guys having fun and remembering why they do this.

@colorfuleutony @yoonify But op is insinuating that his collapse here is from an intense show rather than altitude sickness…

bringing this back bc some ppl don’t understand just how bad it was

@reinerg6 @DoomScroling Birth control fails, you absolute potato.

@DoomScroling Birth control and abstinence is an effective alternative to pregnancy. Adoption is an effective alternative to parenting. And abortion is just murder.

Adoption is an alternative to parenting, not pregnancy. Forcing women & girls to go through pregnancy for the purpose of supplying babies for adoption is exploitation & unethical.

@theghoulsgrave @RealPostFolder Google is a thing: healthychildren.org/English/ages-s…

@RealPostFolder If she was a preteen or teen this would make sense but SIX???!!! Nah she was inappropriately exposed to something to have her learn about that so early!! Dad does need to be more strict but mom made it so worse.

She doesn't know what she is doing

@miyawakissme @Lassharleymari1 When kiddo was in pre-k, we were asked several times if we wanted a referral to speech therapy. Kiddo was speaking at home just fine, when she a. had something to say, and b. thought you were worth talking to. If those criteria weren’t met, you weren’t gonna get her talking.

BTS Through the Eyes of Korean Middle-Aged Men Yesterday after work, I met up with my old Seoul National University friends for the first time in a long while. We are all middle-aged professionals. Two are married with children, and two of us are still single. Over soju, makgeolli, and endless anju, we spent the whole night talking about family, kids, work, and aging. Then, unexpectedly, the conversation turned to BTS. One of the friends is a lawyer. During SUGA’s incident two years ago, he helped me understand what was happening legally and what would likely happen next, which I later relayed to my ARMY friends who were anxious and confused. Anyway, my lawyer friend suddenly brought up the footage of the enormous crowd gathered outside the Mexican Presidential Palace when BTS visited the president. He said that, in his life, he had only ever seen crowds like that for the Pope. The others had seen the clips too, and they were all amazed by it. I am the only ARMY among us, but one friend casually listens to BTS songs, another has a wife who is a dedicated ARMY and attends every concert in Korea, and the last one mostly knows BTS through television and social media. We talked about how much pride BTS has brought to Korea. And because we are all politically liberal, we also talked about how meaningful it feels to see BTS openly support values we believe in. They supported former Democratic president Moon Jae-in, went to the United Nations to speak about mental health, and have donated enormous amounts of money and time to good causes over the years. They also all fulfilled their mandatory military service honorably and with distinction. I also brought up the recent backlash questioning BTS’s masculinity, and my friends could not understand it at all. They never viewed BTS as anything other than masculine men. We admire men who are hardworking, responsible, emotionally grounded, respectful toward others, and empathetic. BTS embodies those qualities. What is more masculine than that? The same feeling exists in the Korean online community that I belong to. Most of the members are middle-aged professional men, and BTS is held in very high regard there too. And throughout the years, across more than a hundred posts about BTS, I have never seen anyone question their masculinity, humanity, or worth. Some of posts about BTS received over 5,000 views and over 100 comments, yet not once did I come across a negative comment about BTS. Quite the opposite, actually. Some even jokingly call RM “hyung” because of how thoughtful and mature he comes across in his writing, speeches, and actions. I can say this clearly: We middle-aged Korean men view BTS very positively and see them as unquestionably masculine. We see them as a source of national pride and as strong role models for younger generations.

@poetentiate @NataliaAntonova Oh no. You might have to develop a personality.

@NataliaAntonova Very few young men can compete in resources with a rich old man.

Please, bro, treat your daughter like crap, so she’ll settle for a loser like me, I’m begging you, bro

@Jana1012007 @AboutMusicYT Still 4/5 more than your faves.

@AboutMusicYT Unpopular opinion :Bts only released 4/5 good songs since debut

10 years ago today, BTS released the music video for Save Me. Rate it from 1 to 10.

@uarmyluv0 @kermit2416 Or a lightiny or Ikonbat. Life is too short. I dont care what lightstick you bring to what concert. What I care about is making sure the guys have fun, attendees have a good time, and everyone gets home safe.

@uarmyluv0 @kermit2416 I did not bring a different light stick to El Paso, I won’t bring a different one to Las Vegas or Arlington. In fact, we bought my 7 yo her 1st bomb in El Paso. I guess I figure that nobody is going to die and nothing is going to be set on fire if someone brings a nachimbong

kpop stans showing up with different lightsticks at bts concert, thinking it will trigger armys babe.. this just proves that armys were right everyone is a fan at the end of the day all this hate on twt for bts means nothing in real life😭

@Hellonootme I go diving in the thread recs.

Do you guys actually read from my rec threads? Or from the single rec posts?

@colin_goldmund As a 51 yo ARMY, raising a little ARMY, thank you. My husband is a huge fan as well, and became a fan because the guys are so incredibly competent and creative. Hes also seen how much joy they’ve brought me and that makes him happy.

There seems to be a surge of backlash toward BTS lately from people clearly rattled by how massive and successful their concert tour has been so far. The usual insults are back again. Questions about their masculinity. Mockery of ARMY. The same tired assumptions. It reminded me of something that happened a few years ago. One of my male students, after finding out I was a huge ARMY, asked me if I was gay. Now, in Korea, the relationship between teacher and student is traditionally built on a fairly rigid hierarchy. Students usually do not speak casually to teachers, challenge them, or ask personal questions. But I have always been a different kind of teacher. I treat my students warmly and as equals, and tell them to ask me anything. They do not even call me seonsaengnim. They call me saam, a more casual and affectionate way of addressing a teacher. So when he asked me that question, I did not see it as hostility. He was curious, not malicious. I told him that I support gay rights and equal marriage, but loving BTS does not make me gay. I told him that I love BTS because of their extraordinary writing, rapping, singing, and dancing talents. That I love the sincerity and meaning in their lyrics, and the way they consistently treat people with kindness, warmth, and positivity. And of course, because I am me, the poor student then had to sit through a very long lecture from me about masculinity and how narrow definitions of it can limit people. To this day, I still find it strange that some people think appreciating artistry, emotional honesty, beauty, or kindness somehow threatens masculinity. If anything, BTS helped expand the idea of what masculinity can look like for millions of people around the world. And then there is the mockery of ARMY itself. Some people keep repeating this stereotype that ARMYs are lonely women with no lives who pour all their money into BTS. The assumption is not only lazy, but honestly disconnected from reality. First, there are many male ARMYs, like me. On Korea’s music streaming platform Melon, around 35% of BTS listeners are male. I even checked the listener statistics for “Swim” today (May 12, 2026), and men made up 37% of the listeners. Futhermore, the ARMYs I have met are some of the most socially active, accomplished, and creative people I know. They have vibrant family lives, meaningful careers, and talents of their own in writing, art, music, design, education, and countless other fields. One ARMY friend from America who visits Korea often holds a major executive position while also involved with multiple organizations. No, people do not love BTS because they are lonely. We love BTS because they represent the kind of humanity we want to see more of in the world. Empathy. Hard work. Vulnerability. Kindness. Emotional honesty. Growth. Being ARMY has enormously enriched my life. Without BTS and ARMY, how would I have ended up with close online and offline friends across the United States, Americas, Africa, Europe, Oceania, and Asia? The fandom opened doors to human connections I otherwise never would have experienced. And it is funny to watch some men mock women for passionately following BTS when those same people spend enormous amounts of time, money, and emotional energy on football in America or soccer in Europe. Nobody calls them lonely for flying across countries to watch matches, memorizing statistics, wearing jerseys, or centering weekends around sports. Human beings naturally gather around the things they love. Music is no different. BTS is no different. As for Jimin’s hair, which is somehow also causing backlash, I love it. It immediately reminded me of Brad Pitt’s hair in Troy, where he played Achilles. Achilles was supposed to be a Mediterranean Greek warrior, yet nobody complained that Pitt had flowing Swedish blonde hair down to his shoulders. People accepted it because he looked charismatic and amazing on screen. That is exactly how Jimin looks with his long blonde hair. I hope he keeps it throughout the entire concert tour.

@ponygirl923 @CongressmanRaja Right?

@CongressmanRaja And folks wonder why women aren't having babies. Seems pretty obvious to me as a woman living in Texas.

A new ProPublica investigation found blood transfusions during first-trimester miscarriage ER visits in Texas surged 54% after abortion became a felony. Women are being sent home hemorrhaging instead of receiving standard care. This is cruel, dangerous, and preventable. propublica.org/article/texas-…

@downbadcomment @Lassharleymari1 I know this is rage/click bait, but… dump him. Now.

thoughts?

@limitlessjaes Honestly, the El Paso concerts were amazing. And day one was no worse than PTD at SoFi. Day two was a lot smoother, even though I got hit by a car waiting in line. I’m sorry that El Paso didn’t get the love y’all deserved.

y’know its crazy how el paso army got traumatized by fellow army… and now its like nothing happened ?!?!? that literally impacted the excitement for a lot of people 🫩

@thementalfix @IAmLilRico Stfu.

@IAmLilRico While I strongly condemn their actions, the punishment is very unreasonable given that we have seen so many cases now of Black Men who attack/kill whites and are let off in a year or two if not less, some even claim "mental instability" and get nothing.

A Georgia couple who terrorized a Black family at a child’s birthday party with Confederate flags, racial slurs, guns, and death threats were sentenced for a hate crime. Joe Torres got 20 years; Kyla Norton got 15..😳🚨

@IAmLilRico Good.

@BlackAhmericanX @DemonFly666 @LongTimeHistory @sawyer_kat60545 👍

@BattyJen1 @DemonFly666 @LongTimeHistory @sawyer_kat60545 I did protecting American lives n healthcare is a MUST

Florida man calls ICE on woman at dentist office—for speaking Spanish. She is a licensed interpreter—and U.S. Marine Corps veteran. "There are illegal immigrants in this building!" he yells into phone. "They need to get out of this country—you need to send ICE here right now!" Before video started recording he reportedly yelled at her that she "couldn't speak two languages" because "he's American." There is also a poster on the wall that reads "Ortodoncia Braces"—Spanish for orthodontics and braces. Incident occurred in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

@BlackAhmericanX @DemonFly666 @LongTimeHistory @sawyer_kat60545 I bet you think you did something special.

@BattyJen1 @DemonFly666 @LongTimeHistory @sawyer_kat60545 She's translating for the front desk staff who clearly don't speak English which is why I reported them to DHS and the FBI and the state board. If front desk staff can't communicate in English that's violation and puts everyone in danger.

@cypherluscious One of the things that led to me happily parting ways with a local ARMY group was when the “leader” showed us a video if her whole friends groip stalking the tannies in vegas. Like, tried to get out if the elevator on their floor and jist… other super creepy stuff.

If you meet the tannies in the wild or happen to be staying at the same hotel as them, there's no reason to tell the world, especially if they're still there. That might be a controversial opinion to some, but it really shouldn't be. Safety and privacy first, clout second, right?
