FANDOM HYPOCRISY
I am ARMY. As long as BTS and its members continue their careers, I will always be a part of this fandom. And I love my fandom.
Most of the time.
And I rarely speak ill of them.
But I'm kinda getting fed up of the hypocrisy these days.
With those ridiculous dating rumours (you know which) making its circulation these days, the common consensus being posted by the fandom is "It's none of our business. Let the boys date who they want. They're grown a$$ men. They deserve to date."
But I've noticed that this is what is said when it's a member...and a girl.
Here's the truth. These rumours were started on NOTHING - the most asinine of over-analyzed coincidences and/or made up crap. But the fandom has run with it. Without question.
But when ANYTHING remotely romantic is insinuated (justifiably so) about Jimin and Jungkook...well...there's a whole different response isn't there?
No one says "they're free to date who they want" or "it's their business, not ours".
No.
Suddenly, the common consensus is "it's toxic shippers" and "they're brothers".
I see you, ARMY.
Like I said...hypocrisy.
There is infinitely more 'proof' of Jimin and Jungkook being romantically involved than there has ever been with them and other people. But somehow, those rumours get believed while Jikook just always gets pelted into the box of visceral denial, "Shut Up, They're Bros".
I just don't get it...
Anyway...
At the end of the day, it's during times like these that I feel like Jimin and Jungkook will always be fighting a losing battle, and that they will only ever have each other and the ones closest to them.
Sad...
