Seriously???

dingdangdiggity:

Ok, so I don’t ever do my own texts posts and shit, but like I’m seriously pissed off right now, so what the fuck. 

My friend and I were just enjoying the morning listening to BTS’s new album when she sends me a post about people complaining about the lyrics to “Pied Piper” saying that its “Predatory” and “Pedophilic”. 

(If anyone doesn’t know what the song is about, it’s about the boy’s VOICES and MUSIC being so captivating that it will draw you in and you can’t escape.)

** No where in the song does it talk about having sex or touching fans inappropriately.**

And it pisses me off that some people are /really/ arguing that the song makes it sound like BTS is ok with sexually assaulting their fans.

 The fans arguing that it is about nonconsensual sex have voiced that they have actually been through bad shit themselves, and I’m not saying that that should be ignored. I’m not putting down their experience when I’m arguing my case, because I too have been through sexual assault and harassment on a few different occasions. 

If anyone is thinking like “well what gives you the right to say that it’s not implying sexual assaulting fans?” Well let me tell you a little bit about myself, I am a 22 year old college graduate. During my four years of college I had taken many different gender studies classes, I’ve taken a music study course in which we analyzed songs actually about rape culture, and for my speech class I took I used the whole semester to talk about rape and rape culture across college campuses and in the media. I made every speech about the topic and even shared with the class my story of being sexually assaulted. I have done so much studying on the topic of rape and rape culture. I have wrote many LENGTHY papers about songs that literally talk about getting a girl drunk and taking advantage of her, as well as other songs along the same topic, which don’t actually explicitly say that the guy is going to rape the girl. So I’m pretty sure I have some of the right credentials that would justify my stance on the case.

 Yes I understand how to people that have gone through some really bad experiences that some of what the lyrics have translated to can be considered triggering. I understand that completely! But no where does it imply that they are going to sexual take advantage of a fan. 

Hell, if anyone is in the wrong here it is fans, it is ARMY, for always objectifying the guys, over sexualizing them, for projecting their fantasies on them. I feel sorry for the boys for having to deal with over half of the shit the fans say to them everyday. If anything the boys are only repeating things that fans have said to them. 

Hell, there is a long running joke in the entire KPOP community where people say “All I wanted to do was learn their names!” Fans always joke about how “once you give kpop a chance you won’t be able to escape”. The guys are literally taking what the fans say to them about them and their music. 

**They are just REPEATING what ARMY has already said. When the guys literally see fans say shit like “my body is ready” on pictures or videos of them what do you think that they see? They see fans basically saying “you’re so hot, if you were here right now you could totally have sex with me”. 

When fans talk and post shit like that ya’ll don’t criticize each other saying that YOU’RE being predatory towards BTS, but once BTS say the same exact things the fans say ya’ll turn on them? 

Seriously?

 The song talks about fans who obsess over them, the same fans that have said themselves that they can’t escape from them if they tried. The song talks about the fans who sit behind their computers and analyze ever little thing they do. 

So how bout this, to the people that have analyzed “Pied Piper” and have concluded that it is about sexual assault, how bout you go back and analyze their other songs too? Because once you do, you will actually see songs that have contributed to rape culture. 

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I have never seen people condemn  BTS for “War of Hormone”, for example? If you go back and “analyze” the translated lyrics to THAT song, you’ll see how bad /that/ is. The song is literally about how they don’t need to fap to porn anymore because now all they have to do is think about this girl whose “front” is hot, whose “back” is hot, even talking about her “unspeakable parts”. With a literal line translating to “Girls are like an equation, us guys just do them”. And you’re not going to argue that that is rape culture but you’re gonna say that “Pied Piper” is? 

They even say in the first verse for fans to STOP analyzing their shit and to just listen to the song because it is a GIFT for them for having supported them over the years. They’re singing about the song ITSELF being captivating, not that they themselves are going to physically take captive the fans. They are saying that you can’t escape their music that you love so much, not that they are going to physically take you and not let you escape. 

If you would ACTUALLY analyze the song, and not take it for fucking face value, then you would see the ACTUAL meaning of the song. 

All the guys wanted to say is that they love their fans; they thank their fans for their support. 

All the guys wanted to do is write a song for the fans telling the to just LISTEN TO THE FUCKING SONG AND TO STOP ANALYZING SHIT. 

But NOOOOOO!!! 

Fans are just gonna sit there and over analyze the song and make it about something that it is not, because that is what they always do. 

They even say so themselves.

 I’m done.
