STUPIDITY AND MISPLACED ANGER

This quarrel about our societies are really unneccesary. Here is my point of view that I post to Facebook, days ago.

The BTS Biot is trending both in Philippines and South Korea, for a time now. It's started because of some students posting some pictures with a whiteboard with that caption. The trend has blown out of proportion, and the country was embarrassed and seen as homophobic. It doesn't only attack the K-pop fans of BTS, but also the LGBTQ+ community. But the thing is, South Korea considered BTS as one their national treasures. Promoting their country all over the world. And Koreans take offense on thiis because. Now it's not only the Armys that have become our enemies, but most of South Korean people. And to those who do not know, biot is rehashing of the word bayot. Bayot is a visayan dialect of the word gay. Sometimes, that word is used out of slur, and not of definition. And connecting that to the group of BTS, and we had a disaster.

The reasoning behind the slurs is, is it not for the BTS itself, but of the ARMY's, the fandom of the group. And ARMY's are one of the most toxic fandom, among K-pop fandoms. I understand that you can be irritated by them, for most of them, not all really are. 

So why attacked BTS? The group have not done things that are condemnable. If you are irritated of the ARMY's, why vent on BTS? It's injustice for their part. They did not deserved such attacks. Maybe the ARMY's do, but not BTS. And many stupid shits are bandwagoning on the trend just for the fun of it. And now the country was embarrassed.

And because it was embarrassed, some of our countrymen, who heard the news, want to un-Filipino. Really? Just because of that, you will want to forsake your country. Although its trending, it's not the entirety of the Philippines that did it. Most of us don't even cared about it. Their are some stupid shits, but they are not the entirety of us. It's unfair to do that. It's only an internet issue.

Their are some things that you can still be proud of as Filipinos. We saved people, who are seeking refuge, when everyone refuses them. The Jews, who were exiled from Germany and Europe by the Nazis. We had help South Korea, to be free from communism. They prosper and become rich, and to look down at us, because we are poorer than them. We can still be proud of that. 

You may said, that I have mention that they are looking down at us, for many reasons. As I believe that the trend of the BTS, is not the entirety of the Philippines. I also believe that it's not the entirety of South Korea. Many of them maybe, but not all. All countries of the world has their own groups of assholes. I still believe on the potential of the good, than the prevalence of the bad. We must believe on that.

All I'm saying is if you're irritated by the ARMY's, attacked them, but not BTS itself. Don't just bandwagon on the things you don't know, or only know a little. And if you will un-Filipino just because of this. You don't deserve a country.
