more on big three privilege.

this is my second post addressing big three privilege, you can read my first statement on it here: x (second opinion). today i’ll be expanding on my views on the subject, while dressing claims of certain newer groups “only being popular because of their seniors”. 

this got quite long, so i’ll put it under the cut. let me know what your views on this topic are in the replies!

I don’t know who needs to hear this but I stumbled across a small Youtube channel that really resonated with me. It was about how black women attempting to find love and validation in Korean men and Korean culture. Stop asking “will (blank) date a black woman?” Be content with yourself and stop letting men give meaning to your life. Just know that they don’t like you for you, they only like parts of you.

i'm so proud of them 🥺

for those who are not aware, jeno and jisung have become ambassadors for M Clean, which is a campaign to promote and practice having a clean and safe internet. both stated that they want to eliminate illegal and malicious content from the net. if i'm not wrong, the reason to why this campaihn began was due to the nth room, a korean criminal case that revolves around cybersex trafficking and blackmail.

we stan boys who fight for women and a safe environment on the net ✨

These dudes are fucking legit.  They don’t just show up one day in court, either, they actually make friends with the kids and let them know they have a support system and that there are people in the world who care about them and will always have their back.  And less important, but also cool, is that the few times a couple of them have come into my cafe, they’ve been super friendly and polite and when I told one of the guys that I noticed his Bikers Against Child Abuse patch and wanted him to know how awesome I thought he was because of it, he got kind of shy and blushed and said, “The kids are the awesome ones, we just let them know they’re allowed to be brave.”

[bebinn]

The source is long, but so, so good. These men and women are available in 36 states, 24 hours a day to stand guard at home, in court, at school, even if the child has a nightmare. Many of them are survivors of childhood abuse as well, and know what it’s like to feel scared and alone.

In court that day, the judge asked the boy, “Are you afraid?” No, the boy said.

Pipes says the judge seemed surprised, and asked, “Why not?”

The boy glanced at Pipes and the other bikers sitting in the front row, two more standing on each side of the courtroom door, and told the judge, “Because my friends are scarier than he is.”

Bikers Against Child Abuse was founded in 1995 by a Native American child psychologist whose ride name is Chief, when he came across a young boy who had been subjected to extreme abuse and was too afraid to leave his house. He called the boy to reach out to him, but the only thing that seemed to interest the child was Chief’s bike. Soon, some 20 bikers went to the boy’s neighborhood and were able to draw him out of his house for the first time in weeks.

Chief’s thesis was that a child who has been abused by an adult can benefit psychologically from the presence of even more intimidating adults that they know are on their side. “When we tell a child they don’t have to be afraid, they believe us,” Arizona biker Pipes told azcentral.com. “When we tell them we will be there for them, they believe us.” ( Article)

More about BACA, from their site

[uriesays]

My parents are a part of this organization and they are metal af

They go on runs to protect the child if they feel even the slightest threatened no matter where. If the child needs them to go on vacation with them, they do. Bikers come from across the nation to watch over and take shifts for these kids. And the best part is once you’re adopted into this family as a BACA kid, you’re always one. Even when you’re 40 and the perp gets released from jail, they’ll come meet with you and find your best options for avoiding the person and maintaining the life you’ve built for yourself. Once a BACA child, always a BACA child. In Florida, there’s 100% rate for identifying the perp based on the child’s testimony. Why? Because BACA stands with the child and supports the child so they feel comfortable enough to point out their attacker.

What’s better than a badass biker gang being on your side???

[kikithegirl]

NATIVE AMERICAN CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST WHO IS A BIKER AND NAMED HIMSELF CHIEF HELL YES I’M HERE FOR THAT AND BIKERS BEING BAD ASS TO PROTECT KIDS. HELL YEAH.

[birdungehrl]

it’s back! I will always reblog BACA

[your-uncle-dave]

Damn good people.

[rowsdower-saves-us]

I know they wouldn’t consider themselves such, but these people are freaking heroes and the world is a better place because of them. 

[racethewind10]

Hey folks, it talks about this in the article but its not mentioned in this post, BACA is a 501 © (3) charity that depends in part on donations to help pay for stuff like gas for their bikes. If you want to help, consider donating. 

[drgaellon]

@copperbadge You like posting about heroes, Sam. Seems like this would be up your alley.

[copperbadge]

I love these folks! I’ve reblogged them before but it’s wonderful to see the donation information has been added. 

[galaxy-of-stories]

Always reblog. Keep doing what you’re doing y'all.

Guys? This post changed my life. I saw this post. Forever ago. And thought it was only in america… and wished desperately that they could help me. But then I saw it again, during a bad episode, and checked their site. They aren’t just in the USA

They’re in Canada as well and probably other countries. I met and talked with a native guy who runs the place near me. His name is Shaman. I got in, and I’m considered a BACA child now. Despite being 17, turning 18 when I talked to them. They spent time with me when my abuser was over, they gave me therapy resources. They give you something called a ‘level 1′ where they go to your house with as many bikers as they can, i shit you not a solid 20-40 bikers came from even out of province, and met me. I got to choose my biker name and I got a vest with patches on it and my name on it. They all hugged a Teddybear before giving it to me, and told me if I ever felt the BACA bear was running out of love, to give them a call and they’d refill it for me, and then I got a ride on one of their bikes. Just a day or so ago I went to an annual party with them and they we ate food one of them cooked and had a lot of laughs. 

I’ve never felt as loved as I did being a part of the BACA family. They also gave me dog tags with the names, and phone numbers of my 2 workers.  So I can call them whenever I feel scared. 

BACA is an absolutely wonderful group that will do everything in it’s power to help any child whos been abused. 

And it doesn’t end when you’re 18 either. As long as you get in contact/get your level 1 before you’re 18? you’re ALWAYS a BACA kid. I’m 18 now and they still invite me to parties, ask me if I’m okay, and are there for me. They’re still trying to find me resources for therapy. 

BACA has changed my fucking life. 

I hope you all can read this, and reblog it knowing from someone who fucking been with them, that they are absolutely amazing. 

[phoenix-phaedrana]

This… the fact that this exists makes me so damn happy.

[lugialagia]

We need BACA everywhere. They’re just heroes, I don’t have words for all this love ❤❤❤❤

One of the weirdest things for a veteran k-pop fan is to listen to songs like Fiction, Lucifer, Gee, Sorry Sorry, This is War, etc. and knowing that there are new fans that have absolutely no idea about how great these bops were

When we say SJ walked so NCT could run, we actually meant this☝️SJ was an experimental group for NCT's concept. And as a fan of both, please understand the struggle that it caused me and all the other ELFzens; why SM abolishing the graduation system meant a lot to us; and how obssessed SM is with that freaking graduation system. That graduation system should never comeback to life after this. No one wants it. No group nor fandom shall go through the same struggle again.

[whitepeopletwitter]

[sometime-in-1995]

Everyone's talking about Mark being in all 3 units of NCT except WayV but no one's talking about Hyukjae being in all 4 units of SJ except KRY. I mean, SJ invented subunits in the first place and Hyukjae was the first all-rounder member 💙

[ardarose]

Hahaha yeah how can I forget about Hyukjae being in all sub-units except K.R.Y.
