#m thoughts

You replied with a simple "sorry, I won't do it again..."

But I do want to talk about priorities. And some harsh reality. And some perspective because it seems to lack so far with some people.

It is not and should not be my problem what anyone wants to do on their page. If they want to analyse apartments, timelines, label statements. You do you. But is incredibly telling that the first ask I receive the second I enable the anon feature is about my stance on jikook. Really? Out of all the possible things that should be discussed right now, this is high on the priority list?

I will generalize here for the sake of the argument and I will only mention the people who actually care about Jimin (the others are working against his image while I'm here writing this post). Some jikookers are worrying about the ship and where does that leave jikook? "Was it ever real?", "I still believe", "I don't" (but think 500-word essays). Some pjms are happy that Jimin is single (how do you know he is now?, lol), some are posting thirst traps on some weird trend about showing Jimin what he is actually missing (just yuck, really?), some are happy that this ended jokers (never other ships that include JM).

You get the picture.

Of course all these people and many others from these groups are also concerned about Jimin. Obviously. But why is it that for so many of these fans, that is not the main and perhaps only priority?

Shipping discourse and hetero-dating discourse means fuck all when this is such a serious situation that will not die down fast. And all the behavior on social media is not helping it.

The BH statement is protecting Jimin from a legal standpoint. Technically, he is not responsible for anything that happens or is being said/done from now on. But is it? Given the volatile behavior exhibited up until this point, how does anyone know what could be a trigger to then do more damage?

If she hurts herself, it will be considered Jimin's fault. If they try to settle this in private, she can then say they attempted to silence her. She can say Jimin did something to her back im 2020 and it will be her word against his. The word of a woman crying multiple times on her social media about how she's being harrassed by his fans. She won't even have to mention Jimin's name, all she has to say is "your favorite idol" and it will be Jimin's photo in the press the next day.

This entire thing can just go on and on, like an endless nightmare. And it happens in front of an audience.

It has reached a point where his public image is attempted to be tarnished, where someone who displays very questionable behavior is trying to pull the strings, all from the comfort of a platform backed by taekooker money. And Jimin is the one who has to behave, to keep silent, to ask people not to bully her. No one else is suffering in this situation apart from the one person who seemingly hasn't done anything wrong.

The SK press is ruthless. I'm sure many of us know what it can do to people. Even for minor mistakes or things that should not even get a high level of scrutiny. This is not a joke. This should not be talked through shipping discourse or rejoicing that Jimin is free from shippers or getting happy that he is single or whatever other ridiculous reactions that I've seen. I'm not gonna spell it out for anyone and I don't want my mind to go far, but the thoughts remain.

I do think he is mentally strong and has processed and moved over any past troubles he had during the early pandemic period. But it doesn't mean that one can be indiferent to what is happening now, even if emotionally, the door closed on something that took place 5 years ago. But I don't want to speculate more on Jimin's state of mind because how would I know? Maybe he won't share a thing for months and it won't be easy because ultimately we are just fans and we want to know if he's ok or not.

No one does it like him.
