People on Twitter talking about how learning abt a different culture is cultural appropriation
And people eating it up and saying they'll try to "educate" their "community" oh godDo people even bother checking what they say anymore? boi.............And can the younger generation STOP thinking everyone who's marginally older than them is "colonized" and "ignorant" and that's why they bother teaching their culture to outsiders? They do it because they take pride in how they were raised, in their traditional clothings, in their cuisine, etc. They did 500 years ago, they'll do 500 years in the future. Being happy that people appreciate what's a big part of your life is normal. No harm is being done, let people introduce their world to other worlds, that's actually a good way to make the world more open to new things, no? More open minded people = more progressAlso, if they were to act "colonized" them they'd be denying their roots and trying to assimilate something else, not trying to spread their own culture. -
A lot of Kpop fans (ppl in general) need to grow a damn backboneQuit sucking up to any translated bullshit your read. Stop trying to emulate knetz. Don't try to pull the enlightened about some issue by saying "but!!! it's!!! their!!! culture!!!". Just don't. Stop, quit, cease to bandwagon ffs and form your own opinions based on whatever the hell your believe in. Are you living in damn South Korea to behave a certain way? Bet not. Then express yourself as you would. Yeah, yeah, I know some people online told you u can't even say a word abt some issue of another country because #culture and you #dontunderstand so you should be sush and bow to whoever claims to be of said culture and says X is right so you can get the SJW cookies for good behavior, but "culture" doesn't excuse shit. And not everyone who grew up under a certain culture will follow it, suck it upDo yourself a favor and don't be so easily manipulated. If you have don't have an opinion, then fine. Nothing wrong, we're here to discuss shit and learn, no one is born all opinated on everything, no need to pretend you are.

Goodbye trolls and dupes <3

There's no difference between rabid fans and rabid haterts. You aren't better than "delusional trashy fans" if your time and energy are spent hating a group because of their fandom, and then hating the fandom.These people who bitch about BTS being brought up everywhere also bring them up everywhere. I had to unfollow 4 people because my TL was flooded with BTS every week and I don't even follow BTS related accounts. Haters are also doing the most.I just want to have updates on my fav w/o having to hear about beefs (I swear I don't understand why one-fandom-exclusive accounts even take part in stuff that doesn't concern them or their fave), I don't give a shit unless it's a real beef and I can eat it.It's getting annoying, both sides

Hi! Can someone make a DP from this gif?

Thanks in advance!
-
I can't help but find the timing of this whole Hwayoung exposal shady as hell. And I don't understand why people are treating the scandal as some sort of fairytale. Hello, it's real life, there's beyond "good side" and "evil side". Everyone could easily be at fault. Why everyone gets so upset when people say it?

I don't understand stan Twitter and I probably never will.Recently I'm seeing a lot of tweets that are a screencap of some random tweet bashing XYZ group/person, a lame ass meme at the side and some "5º grade level of mean" caption. These get a bunch of retweets. But why?Why do people even waste their time on it? Most of these tweets were made by people w/ a few followers and had no RT or Fave on what they posted. It's just a random tweet, you search your fave and you'll get a bunch of hate tweets, normal. Why screencap, post along with a meme? To get retweets? To attack a fandom/group you dislike but has no balls to say it loud? Why they don't @ at whoever is talking shit?? I don't understand these people, for real.

Can someone please set these for DP?





The gifs are all pretty dark, sorry lol You can tweak as much as you want for it look good as DP. A bit of sharpness would be good, since they are so dark. If any looks just too bad (lq, etc) as DP, you can scrap itThanks in advance!

It's beyond me how ugly people can actually be. The moment you see someone say BTS is using a sensitive topic such as suicide to benefit themselves, or that they're just trying to glamorize it - in that exact moment you realize people have completely lost the little bit of decorum they had left.
I wonder how some people are so utterly unaware of the shit they say on a daily basis - how tasteless, classless, cruel and stupid they act - or actually are. And I'm floored by the fact they think they're in the right.
I'm gonna get personal with this.
I have been in that position, it was years and years ago but it's something that's there - it's always going to be there and be a part of my life and be a part of me. I've never felt proud of it - how could I? - and it even got to be something I was embarrassed of. It took me a lot of time to be able to talk about it openly, and even then it was still something I couldn't completely come to accept. I'm over that phase now - more or less -, but it's still a very sensitive topic for me if you regard it in the wrong way.
So all these people being ugly about this matter really hit personal ground and strike a nerve. Wonder how much of them give a shit about suicide to begin with.
Some people see suicide allusions in Spring Day and some others don't. I guess it all comes down to everybody's own experiences in life.
But I'm gonna need for somebody - anybody - to tell me where in the actual fuck is BTS trying to glamorize suicide. Do y'all even know what that verb means and what it implies? Damn, it's not even the focus of the song/MV, if it's even represented at all in the first place. It talks about grief and acceptance most than anything else.
I'm gonna honor my dad and say it like he would: algunos os la cogéis con papel de fumar.
That moment when the song is based on RM and Suga's own experiences. But of course, y'all hide behind your own ignorance. Trust people to turn everything around.
I can't at y'all complaining about K-Pop being too generic, about all songs being the same and talking about the same - and when someone tries to bring up an acknowledge some real fucking issues (in a respectful and mindful way) that real people face everyday, y'all go full repulsive mode on.
That's actually the only issue here: people using suicide as a means to bash a K-Pop group - or anyone else for that matter - they hate on so much for some unfathomable motive no reasonable person will ever be able to understand just because they literally have nothing, nada to use against them, so in their heads it's perfectly fine and justifiable to be as disgusting as possible.
Some people step so low, they don't even know where to draw the line - there's not even a line anymore. You just decided to throw respect for anything and anyone away while trying to pretend you're some kind of morally and ethically superior person.
I don't know if all this really makes you feel any better afterwards or not, but if it does the you need to start re-evaluating your life because you are clearly not being the superior individual you believe you are.
We went through this already when BTS was supposedly romanticizing depression. It's time to stop.
I'm sick of seeing people using serious matters to hate on damn Kpop groups. It's low, way too low. And using social issues as a mere tool to drag people down is a downright mockery to whoever has to struggle with it."That moment when the song is based on RM and Suga's own experiences."That's what leaves me speechless. These people that are supposedly so worried about victims of suicide and depression are completely ignoring that the song came from a personal experience. By now I know I shouldn't expect much from people, since many don't even seems to recognize that idols are sentient beings as we are, but I'm still speechless over this bullshit. Yes, Kpop is flashy as hell and manufactured, but doesn't mean people in it are shallow robots.It seems also that the concept of addressing issues completely flew over these people's heads. Addressing =/= glamorizing."Wonder how much of them give a shit about suicide to begin with."Probably 0 fucks. From my personal experience most people don't give a shit unless it benefits them in some sort of way. They preach about hope and love for people that will praise them and shit on those who struggle with some disorder.That thread got closed...Not because of the op, but because this forum is populated with fucking morons who focus on the pedantic instead of the bigger picture. Your first thought when you see a topic that heavy is to go "oh don't worry it's one person" or "you can't take it out of there"??????? That was a thread worth having and now we will literally never be able to discuss it again because the idiots here have associated any topic of BTS x mental illness with the bashing thread.
Discussions here are a rare thing, most turn into shitfests. People here get too defensive to actually discuss, whats a pity. And I don't think mods should close a thread that didn't even mention the people talking about it were in the BT.-

Hello! Merry Christmas y'all~Can someone please resize these two gifs so I can use as a DP?#1
#2
And please also combine these gifs for signature:Format:
(side by side w/ spacing, but w/ the size it's not going lol)I suppose one gif will have to be cropped anyways, no? You can resize more if you want. As long as the quality is kept any size wil do
Thanks in advance!!
-
Yessss, finally! You are a damn saint for spending so much time trying to get the forum back, lol, I'd just give up. Thanks for your hardwork, admin!!!

Thanks a lot!!

Could someone please resize these two gifs for DP? They are already cut, just need to be in the right (file) size.
& 
And also, if you can, edit these two gifs for a signature.It's similar to one of my previous signatures, two gifs repeat and one central gif, like this:
&
Result:
These are the gifs:
I think they could use some sharpening, lol, I'm not good at editing them w/o screwing up. If you can edit (sharpen and brighten) would be good, but not 100% necessary.
Thanks in advance!!
OBS: If someone want to do only the DPs I'm all good too lol You can scrap the signature.

why?

There's a huge scandal involving their president. Apparently she's just a puppet of a crazy cult and there was someone writing her speeches, telling her how to dress, what decisions to make, etc & etc. They even suspect she was missing for 7 hours when Sewol Ferry sunk because she was attending a memorial for the founder of the cult. It's pretty complicated and people are on the streets protesting for her to be taken out.
Hey Mama! is out!!!

finally decided to stop lurking to share this haha
apologies if someone's already posted it, though the jp translation was posted yesterday they don't link directly to the orig korean tweet so idk if that's already been translated

@NCTjpsub/status/784957697686773760
rough translation, op asked yuta if his friends and family had any nicknames for him, to which he replied "yuu", "yuu-chan" etc
when op asked what they mean, yuta said since my name's yuta, it's too bothersome so they just call me "yuu"

edit: ack can't get the twitter thing right >-<
Hey there!
Just paste the tweet link between [ tweet ] [ /tweet ] and it will show up!OMG "Yuu-chan" sounds really cute
-
yeah!
after my last post I watched the video again. glad we finally got that confirmed !They were really close
I love how he rushed all of sudden lmao
I found the icon in one thread with many dp sized gifs from the MV. That one stood out the most to me xD Its like he's having the time of his life in that icon
Aah I see her looking to her left like shes greeting someone and then theres baekhyun behind her but I'm not sure if its Kai or not most likely it is since you said shes walking almost by his side
Got my DP from there too. Everyone was saving the normal gifs, but this one is gold
She greeted someone that was ahead... I think it's an EXO member too, but I can't see who lol-
