Everyone thinks I’m showing off when I talk, ridiculous when I’m silent, insolent when I answer, cunning when I have a good idea, lazy when I’m tired, selfish when I eat one bite more than I should…

I don’t want you to change, […]. I’m not in love with who you could be, or who you used to be, or who the world says you should be. I’m in love with you. Right now. Just like this.

There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.

pied piper by bts is predatory and pedophilic

TRIGGER WARNING! SEXUAL ASSAULT AND GENERALLY CREEPY SHIT!

hey babyz! so, i’m probably one of the younger fans here and i’m a fan of bts, but their new album ‘her’ has a song called pied piper that is extremely disgusting, and as a survivor of some shit, i can’t stay silent on this and i’m hoping that as a mature fandom (many of us are in uni/college) we can try and signal boost this and try to reach out to younger people to let them know that this, on so many levels is not okay.

http://bangtan.tumblr.com/post/165470000719/lyrics-eng-trans-pied-piper

the lyrics in pied piper start off by talking about a fan who analyzes music videos, has many posters in her room of the boys, and how they’re obsessed with them. they then go on to describe this song as the girl’s “reward” and calls them a “good girl”

then it proceeds to say “you aren’t being punished, come here” and talks about how she can’t close her eyes.

and then the real kicker: “you may struggle but it won’t matter anymore”

that, ladies and gentleman, is fucking sexual assault. they are literally describing about how they’re going to sexually assault the listener as a “reward” for being a “good girl” for obsessing over the band. 

a few lines later, they say they’ll save and ruin the fan and then “you’re the one who called me here, see how it’s sweet?”

so… the fan is asking for it? nice. good job, guys. great fucking lyrics. 

scroll a bit further down and 

“i am your guilty pleasure, you can never get out of this, never”

so um yeah. thanks bts. good to know how you see your fans and how you’re so fucking open about how you know you’re manipulating them and want to sexually torment them. and i wish i was exaggerating but i’m not. the lyrics are right there, that’s what they say and considering the first verse, the song is very fucking literal.

so yeah bts are highkey cancelled let’s not tolerate this shit and instead tell younger fans that this is really predatory and wrong because it is.

For the most part, I stay relatively quiet when it comes to things I find questionable or dislike, particularly within the kpop fandoms.

But I feel I cannot let this slide.

I would like to preface: I am not a BTS stan. I have listened to their music in the past. I have watched the occasional variety. But I have never found enough to pull me in to the fandom. So some may feel I do not have a place to come out and complain from

However

I am also an adult female with enough experience of ingrained misogynistic culture and rape culture to understand this is what these lyrics are based in.

They are not a simple ‘roast’ or ‘diss’ or ‘call out post’. They are not ‘sexy’. 

I have not heard the song. I do not want to. But these lyrics themselves stand alone to me as incredibly worrying. 

Please, please do not think these lyrics are remotely safe. They are not. Even if you don’t read them as sexual they are still highly manipulative and not even remotely ‘banterous’ or ‘playful’. When I read them I could practically hear the voice of an abuser saying them. I cannot stress enough that if anybody is making you feel victimised in this way it is not something to laugh at or be impressed by. 

Please be safe. 

[zainbap]

I looked up the translation found here and umm lemme just add:

“I like it more because it’s bad”

“I’m knowingly drawn to you like the fruit on the tree of knowledge”

“Don’t reject me”

“I’m taking over you”

[chimchams]

Imagine having so little regard for survivors of sexual abuse that you equate a song thats about guilty pleasure and obsessive fan culture to SEXUAL ASSAULT.

there’s nothing remotely sexual or “manipulative” about the song. it’s about fan culture. there’s no direct relationship between bts and the fans. 

you cant just throw words like “predatory” or “pedophillic” around like they mean nothing. those are serious accusations. and by acting like this song is anything like that youre trivializing the shit actual survivors of child sexual abuse have gone through.

think for five seconds.

[jeongguk-moved]

hey yall! quick request from a csa survivor, dont fucking throw this shit around like its nothing! especially if you have no idea what the hell you’re talking about! these things are serious as hell and i don’t know how in god’s name you took a song coyly critiquing obsessive fan culture within THEIR OWN FANDOM and made it about something sexual when it blatantly references several fandom-specific things. what the hell is predatory about telling someone to give it a rest with mv theories and looping bon voyage. i’m fucking amazed, wow. just. wow. wow lmao
