Episode 6 "The Set Up" is both the most ambitious in its unpacking of copaganda and the one with the most shortcomings as a consequence. The episode sees Peralta lose a case to the FBI, but continuing to work it based on a gut feeling. In the process, he approaches a man near what he believes to be the intended scene of the crime. The man flees, leading to Peralta arresting him. However, the man is innocent, and the case had already been solved, but his arrest and several hours in holding led to him losing his job. As he justifiably sues the precinct for wrongful arrest (which I cannot find any statistics on and its driving me wild. wrongful convictions only), Peralta faces his personal guilt and the threat of suspension. The severity of consequences for Peralta stands in contrast with the first episode, in which imposing any sort of consequence on two uniformed officers is shown to be impossible. The only difference would appear to be the persons involved, both Captain Holt as an upstanding police captain with an actual sense of justice, and Peralta as a reasonable detective troubled by his wrongdoing and willing to accept a punishment. Although Peralta may be subject to different regulations as a detective rather than a patrolman, it seems unlikely anything would come from that either, were they not "the good ones" This line is further blurred when O'Sullivan inserts himself into the situation to get Peralta off the hook. His presence is contrived and only serves to further portray him as the sole villain emblematic of everything wrong with the NYPD, rather than a deep-rooted systemic problem. Peralta also sees his involvement as contrived, theorizing the whole thing to be a setup to blackmail Santiago to drop her reform proposal. This idea immediately lets him shake the responsibility of performing a wrongful arrest, partially motivating his eagerness. Against Holt's explicit orders, Peralta stalks the man he arrested to prove his connection to O'Sullivan. Just as he's informed that there truly is no connection, and he makes a mistake, the man discovers him, getting Peralta into even hotter water.
In Holt's office, Peralta explains he believed this was a setup because he "never imagined [himself] making a mistake like that". Together with his earlier reaction, this implies that Peralta has seemingly never made a wrongful arrest before, which seems statistically unlikely, but again I cannot find statistics on this. Naturally, this implication is copaganda. O'Sullivan enters again, revealing he regularly bribes the City Attorney in charge of torts. In doing so, he solidifies the idea that he is the true problem in the NYPD, rather than the systemic hurdles mentioned in the first episode. After listing some common talking points about the supposed dangers of persecuting law enforcement, Holt gives a passionate speech about the consequences of not holding law enforcement accountable. Holt points out that not punishing wrongful actions by police and the subsequent lack of accountability results in a worse perception by the public and mistrust of the community they are meant to serve. While inspiring and heartfelt for a TV show, this speech falls flat against its real world backdrop, where the lack of police accountability frequently leads to violence perpetrated against innocent civilians, especially with a minority background. With no real consequences, officers have no incentive to change their behavior, while their job culture (needs a source about police training indoctrination) directly encourages violence. This does also lead to a lack of public trust, but massively overshadows this issue. By drawing attention to public reaction rather than perpetuation of harmful behavior, the show encourages viewers to address their own biases against police in the charged climate of the 2021 BLM protests, framing their justified distrust as a larger issue than their brutalization, which goes unmentioned. This is a substantial instance of copaganda in this final season, played as a triumphant moment against the true evil of O'Sullivan. It disappoints and upsets me.
In response, Jake finally admits his mistake, taking accountability for the wrongful arrest, harassment, and witness intimidation, and expresses he's sorry. The City Attorney, despite being bribed, can no longer attempt to sweep this under the rug and calls for Peralta's suspension, which Holt immediately follows through on and suspends him for 5 months (with pay? without?). After the attorney and O'Sullivan leave, Peralta expresses relief, stating "We beat [O'Sullivan]" and attempts to lift the mood by claiming he learned a valuable lesson, so some good came from this. Holt counters that in a better world, a man wouldn't have had to lose his job in order for Peralta to learn a lesson. Rather than sitting in this discomfort, encouraging both Peralta and the audience to truly grapple with the severity of his actions, the episode then ends with a joke. Earlier episodes like "Moo moo" and the first episode of the season "The Good Ones" made very effective use of a somber ending to underline their message, yet this crucial one, which sees actual bad policing by a main character and its consequences, refuses to give that space for genuine reflection.
This episode also features the only mention of the reforms contents, as Santiago states it intends to "reduce instances in which armed cops are needlessly interacting with civilians." This is not only vague, but also immediately undercut with the reaction of O'Sullivan claiming it to be "discrimination", ending the scene before any details can be revealed or processed. After this, the proposal is only mentioned. Other than serving as a MacGuffin in a future episode, it is usually brought up to underline its supposed importance and Santiago's hard work. While it would be unrealistic to ask a group of comedy writers to produce an actual reform proposal for systemic injustice in policing, it is notable that nearly no information is given on what a reformed justice system could look like. Including a mention of actual accountability for bad actions, either in this episode or later, would not only underscore this episode's point, but also solidify the idea for viewers. Instead, the audience is left with a nebulous idea of a reform they know nothing about, other than it being good and fair because it was produced by a main character. This derives the viewers of the chance to consider actual reform policies and evaluate options for themselves, while conveniently avoiding pointing the finger at any specific issue.
Disappointing, honestly. Even more disappointing if you consider that this is the other Very Special Episode, and everything following it is fan service fluff. (Not that I mind, I greatly enjoyed the fan service fluff. But it sure as fuck isn't gonna dismantle copaganda)

No one specifically asked for this analysis. Itās less about analyzing anything Vmin did or said, and more about analyzing how people pick and choose which moments to focus on and how to view those moments to fit their own narratives. And this is why I always say to view original sources for yourself (and why I try my best to link original sources to most of the moments that I talk about on my blog). Anyway, this is partially inspired by some asks that got sent to my blog, and partially inspired to posts and comments on videos/posts Iāve seen around the internet.
(Below the cut)
So first, letās bring up some general points that shippers love when it come to their own ships.
Hand holding
One resting their head on the otherās shoulders
Looking at each other
Smiling at the other
Laughing because of something the other said or did
So much as mentioning the otherās name
Piggy back rides
Kisses, if they ever happen
So, letās talk a little about each of these things, shall we?
So, Iām pretty sure that everything listed above, excluding the last point, is something that can be used to ābackā whatever š¶ or šÆ ship you like the most. For šÆ, kisses can be used for every ship, pretty much, since basically all of the members kissed him in that one Army Zip thing. (x) I personally donāt think thatās a moment that can be used to ābackā a ship because they all did it, and it was clearly scripted. Because...they all did it. Anyhow, I donāt make the rules on what can and canāt be used as āproofā, so do what you will with that moment.
Hand holding
So, letās talk a little about hand holding, and how people use this as evidence that their ship is real. I am positive that you can find any and all ships of BTS holding hands at one point or another for whatever reason. People will take these moments to bring up reasons as to why they think it makes their ship āmore realā or āmore validā than other ships. So. Letās look at a list of examples that I donāt think holding hands is any sort of āproofā as to why certain ships can be real.
If one member is holding another memberās wrist/hand to drag him somewhere and show him something/do something with him, itās nothing special. All members do this together.
If all the members are standing on stage, bowing at the end, it doesnāt really count. Itās pretty natural for performers to hold hands while bowing at the end of a performance. Every sort of performance group or club that Iāve been in has done this. It didnāt matter if it was a group that met regularly or a group that did one show together and parted ways after. Weād always hold hands and bow at the end of performances, so that means nothing. Also, if theyāre holding hands with other members, how can it count as āproofā that your ship is real? And no, they might not all seven be holding hands every time they bow at the end, but still. Holding hands and bowing at the end doesnāt mean anything romantic is going on. Theyāre performers. Thatās what they do. Regardless of how ārealā you see BTSās bond, all performers do this. So it really doesnāt mean anything.
Because itās scripted. Take šÆ and š± in every Run episode where they held hands because they were disagreeing or because they lost a game in which they were partners. Moments like that (no matter how soft I am for šÆ/š±) donāt really count as moments that prove them to be the ārealā ship. Another example of this kind of scripted hand holding would be the episode in which they were playing...badminton? and they had their hands tied together. All the members held hands with each person they were paired with because it made the game easier for them if they were holding hands. Instead of just being tied together at first, like š± and š¦ did before the director told them they could hold hands. (x)
If they are on a team, them holding hands while āwishingā something good would happen for them (such as waiting to hear the results on if they won or not) doesnāt really count either. Because I think this kind of āhopefulā hand holding is pretty common for people, and Iāve seen several pairs of members do this, too.
Moments that would count as...I donāt wanna say āproofā but a reason to question a little more or look further, would be if they are casually holding hands while walking. I donāt mean so much in the way that š¦ and š° (despite the fact that I think they have real potential...Iām very critical of moments that give me āreasonā to believe something) were in BV when šÆ said (probably jokingly...everyone acts like his words here actually was him meaning something, but I really donāt think he was serious in this moment....I think he was just playing along the same way š¦ and š° seemed to be playful) that it was weird for two men to hold hands. It seemed to me that š¦ and š° were just playing around while holding hands rather than just freely and casually holding hands in an intimate/romantic āi love you and want to hold your handā kind of way.
An example would be (focusing on vmin because this is a vmin blog) š¶ and šÆ holding hands while walking (in the airport?) but waiting until they were pretty well out of the way of the camera (and in a crowd) to do so. Itās not āproofā that they are real, but thereās no reason to mark this off the list of things that make you wonder. Because (1) they werenāt on a show. There may have been a camera, but like I said, they waited until they were well away from the camera before holding hands. (2) It didnāt look like they were just being silly, like the š¦ and š° moment mentioned above. (3) It couldnāt have been fan service since it wasnāt on stage or during an event. And again, they waited until they were well out of the way of the camera and in a crowd to even hold hands. (4) This seemed pretty casual and natural for them. And it seemed to me like Jimin was grabbing Taehyungās hand to keep him close because they were in a crowd. Which very well could be friendly, but thereās no reason it couldnāt be romantic either. Because I think itād be pretty natural for someone to want to keep their friend or boyfriend close to them while walking through a crowd, and holding hands is a solid way to do that.
Iām not saying that š¶ and šÆ donāt have moments of holding hands with other members that can be taken the same way. Iām just choosing a vmin moment specifically because (1) this is a vmin blog and (2) itās the most natural moment Iāve seen of any of the members holding another members hand in this way. Again, thatās not to say a moment like this doesnāt exist with š¶ or šÆ and some other member. And, if a moment like that between them and another member does arise, then itās something worth considering for that specific pair, too.
One resting their head on the otherās shoulder
So, I think itās pretty safe to assume that this is something that all the BTS members do pretty naturally. And, this seems to be a natural thing for Koreanās in general. All of my female Korean friends would rest their head on my shoulder when we were just lounging around or if we were waiting in line for something. Theyāre often more clingy and cuddly than Westerners are, so this is just about understanding the cultural difference. Itās not a BTS thing. It really is a Korean thing. And I specified my female Korean friends because my male Korean friends wouldnāt act the same way toward me. Iād often see the male Koreans doing the same to each other, but that type of skin ship seemed reserved for same-sex friends. If a male and female were caught acting in such a way, the others seemed to assume that they were dating.
So. Yes. Itās possible that this type of skin ship can happen between boyfriends, but people often ask about this type of thing in regards to jealousy. If this is something thatās common to do with same-sex friends, then I donāt see why a boyfriend would be jealous of his own boyfriend doing it with other male friends. Thatād be like an s/o getting jealous of their own s/o texting their friend āgood morningā every day.
My friends from England also told me that āxxā (kisses) are pretty common to send in text messages to friends in England. Iām sure I have readers from England, so if this isnāt true for you or your country culture in general let me know. Because Iām aware that a few people donāt speak for a whole country. Anyhow, one of my English friends were actually gay and in a relationship with a girl. Yet she still sent kisses in her texts to friends, and her girlfriend wasnāt jealous about it.
So, basically, resting oneās head on someoneās shoulder is a cultural thing, and isnāt really solid āproofā of anything going on between two specific members. Especially considering theyāre all males, and that same-sex type of affection is common for Korean people. Which is probably why you can find at least one example of any member resting his head on another memberās shoulder. It works for every ship.
Looking at each other
Now, this one is a little bit of a tricky topic. Because looks very well can be intimate, but theyāre typically not? Itās not uncommon for humans (social creatures) to look at each other. It seems that shippers will take every single moment in which their ship looks at each other as āevidenceā that they are real. Even if other members are looking at one of them (probably because one of them is talking). Theyāll edit and cut it and make the focus on that ship to fit their narrative.
I think looks very well can be a reason to look closer at any ship. But these are the things I take into consideration when analyzing the looks that someone gives. Iām going to be using š¶ and šÆ (speaking theoretically and not about specific moments) for these examples. Because, again. Vmin blog. And I think using specifics is better than saying āthis memberā and āthat memberā because it gets a little twisted around without using names.
If š¶ is looking at šÆ (or the other way around) while he is talking, that moment canāt really mean much. Because itās pretty natural to look at the person who is talking. And one could make an argument about the expression in the personās eyes, but Iāve seen both šÆ and š¶ (and many of the members) look at each other (or any other member) with complete and total admiration. I mean. Just look at the way š± looks at šÆ sometimes. Theyāre cute moments worth pointing out, sure. But not really āproofā considering how much all of BTS seems to admire each other and give each other the āobviously in loveā kind of look.
If šÆ is doing something silly that grabs š¶ās attention (or the other way around), this might be a cute moment worth pointing out, but itās not really a āreasonā Iād look closer at Vmin (or any other ship for the members involved). Because itās pretty natural to look at someone who is doing something out of the ordinary or something that stands out. While Iām at work, I often get caught staring at and smiling fondly at one of my analysts who are in their own little world, jamming out. We all do it.
When they are looking at each other because they are talking to each other. Again, a pretty natural thing. Also pretty natural to look at someone if you are talking about them, so these moments wonāt go under much analysis when they do come up.
When they are looking at each other while answering a question or talking to the camera....itās not usually something that would give me reason to look closer and analyze further. But itās something that gets put on a list of cute moments that are worth noting, without actually being āproof.ā The reason I donāt want to call this āproofā is because itās pretty natural to look at a person you feel comfortable with while talking. My sister, who is very anxious, does this to me a lot. When sheās talking to other people, sheāll often look at me while talking to someone else sheās not so comfortable with. When I interviewed for my position, I focused more on my direct supervisor rather than the supervisor above her because Iām more comfortable with my direct supervisor. I see her more often and talk with her more often, so answering interview questions while focusing on her was less intimidating than focusing on her supervisor. By now, BTS are pretty comfortable talking to cameras and to the fans, so itās cute when they look at each other instead of the camera when talking. But itās still not something that would seem āsuspiciousā to me.
The looks that draw up the most questions for me, and that I look into the furthest, is when they are looking at each other for no apparent reason. Maybe š¶ will be looking at šÆ while š¦ is talking, and šÆ might be paying no attention to š¶. šÆ also might not be doing anything to grab š¶ās attention other than just sitting there, existing. So, why is š¶ looking at šÆ? These are the moments that bring up the most questions, although they may not necessarily be āproofā either. Theyāre just the ones that make me wonder the most what can possibly be going through their minds.
šÆ staring at š¶ and looking away when š¶ looks back doesnāt really say anything either. (This goes for all the members and ships). Staring at someone doesnāt mean you are in love with them. If that were the case, I know a lot of people who are in love with a hundred different people, their own brothers/sisters/children included. Itās a cute moment, sure. But I donāt think it hints at anything. Sometimes you might just pick a person to focus your attention on. Often we donāt realize weāre staring at someone until we meet their eyes, and thatās why we look away. It doesnāt really hint at anything.
All the members have moments where theyāre looking at each other for some reason or another. And I think about what those moments can mean when theyāre brought up, but looks hardly say anything. People who study human behavior (especially amateurs in the field) may disagree because human behavior says something. And it does. I know. But honestly, humans arenāt an exact science. Itās simply not possible to be 100% accurate about someone the way they show you in TV shows like Criminal Minds.
Human behavior is very complex, and I donāt think thereās a person in the world who understands it on a level of never questioning why people do the things they do because they just know. Anyone who claims that knowledge is just trying to justify their own narratives. Because humans arenāt that simple. Theyāre just not. And you especially canāt read that much into the lives of seven boys whom you donāt even personally know. Only get content they choose to share with you from a margin of their work lives, and see mostly their interactions with each other. Yeah. We get to see how BTS interacts with fans and other artists on occasion, but these arenāt normally people theyāre as familiar with as they are with each other. We donāt get to see how they interact with other people they are that close with, so we can really only compare based on a margin of their relationship. Anyone who claims to be āall knowingā about human behavior to be able to judge something based on the fraction about them that we know is full of shit.
Smiling at the other
Step one. Google āFond smileā
I rest my case.
Anyway, are we really so desperate to prove that a ship is real that we canāt even let someone smile at a person without claiming that they are in love with them? This goes right along with the āobviously in loveā look that I mentioned before. All of BTS really adore and admire each other, and you can see that in the way they look at each other and smile with all the love and affection the world can give.
Laughing because of something the other said or did
Yeah, it might be the case that laughing at everything a person does is a clear sign of affection. But I also know that laughter if a sign of happiness. I laugh and giggle at a lot more things when Iām in a particularly good mood, and this is why people often think that laughter is a sign of being in love. Because that feeling of being in love is ONE of the things that put people in a good mood and make them all giddy and happy.
Also. People are allowed to find someone funny without being in love with them. š¶ can laugh at everything š° does, and š¶ / š° shippers will bring that in as evidence. Even if, in the same video, š¶ is particularly giddy and laughing at other things. (Theyāll highlight the moments when he was laughing at š° specifically) Or even if, in the same video, š¦ is laughing at everything š° does. Because he does. š¦ thinks š° is the funniest fucking shit in the world, and its downright adorable, and also ignored because heās not š¶. You know what else is ignored by these shippers? When š¶ (maybe in the same or maybe in a different video) is laughing at everything š¦ does. Or šÆ does. Or š± does. Because it doesnāt fit their narrative of š¶ / š°. Letās not forget that š¶ and š¦ tend to be the members who are the easiest to get to laugh. They are so full of laughter and happiness and itās downright precious.
So much as mentioning the otherās name
Times in which I think itās cute for them to mention each other is when the one being mentioned isnāt in the room at all, and they seem to bring them up just because they want to. Not for any particular reason (such as fans asking about them or such).
This is one of those things that can be used at reasons to look closer sometimes, but just downright ridiculous to use as shipping material other time. Most of the time, I think itās a ācute thing worth notingā but nothing meaningful to the point of proving romance between two of the members.
Not much to be said here. Itās not weird for people to talk about those they know. And the members will often talk about each other to us because they know we know the other members. And theyāre less likely to talk about people from their personal lives. So, yeah. When šÆ or š¶ bring each other up in lives a lot, itās worth noting. But it doesnāt prove anything. Because, in real life, they might have some s/o they talk about way more than they talk about each other.
And me saying that doesnāt nullify the fact that I see potential for romantic vmin. Itās just me being aware of the fact that we only know a fraction of what goes on in their life. And a lot of it is what they WANT us to see.
Piggy back rides
š¶ / š° shippers use this as evidence for their ship a lot, even though there are plenty of moments where š¶ piggybacks on šÆ and the other way around. š¶ / š° also have moments where š° is holding š¶ in bridal style. And their shippers use it as proof for their ship. Even though š¶ and šÆ also have moments like that.
Regardless of the ship, these are cute moments. But since itās a thing that happens between different pairings, it canāt really count as evidence for a single pair. At least not the simple act of the piggy back itself.
Kisses, if they ever happen
When it comes to kisses, vmin has any ship beat, i think. Because š¶ has kissed šÆ that one time in BV that I bring up a lot. And it wasnāt scripted. It wasnāt fan service. It was a natural moment of him comforting his friend. It may not be āproofā, but itās certainly only something Iāve ever seen vmin do.
There was a šÆ / š¦ punishment kiss, where they actually kissed on the lips, way back in their debut days. (Rookie King show). There was the Army zip where all the members kiss šÆ. And š¦ seems to tease the maknae line a lot by kissing (or pretending to kiss) them.
To this date, the only ārealā kiss that Iāve seen between any members of BTS is the one with š¶ kissing šÆ on the head in BV. If I ever find any moments of any other members kissing in such a way, then it will be considered. But when it comes to kisses, specifically, I think Vmin kind of has the key.
****
And now. Letās talk about painting pictures and writing narratives.
This is going to be quite short because I think youāll get the idea with this one quick thought on how people twist things the way they want to see it for how it suits them. But Iām going to talk about it some.
š¦: *gives Vmin āthe lookā*
Everyone: Oh, heās third wheeling. Heās like āreally guys? In front of me?ā Heās warning them to watch how they act. Etc. etc. (because v / mon and min / joon arenāt popular ships)
š°: *gives Vmin āthe lookā*
Everyone: Heās jealous. (because it fits t/k or j/k narrative)
And this is why I really consider all angles of things. If we look at š¦ or š° or š± or š¦ or š¦ giving Vmin āthe lookā then the common denominator is Vmin. I think all the members, but the Hyungs especially, try to tone down vmin specifically.
Itās like a lot of moments when I see šÆ or š¶ being jealous. They seem to get jealous when the other has a moment with another member or another person in general. And the common denominator will be šÆ or š¶. But shippers of a specific ship will say look šÆ was jealous of š¶ because of this moment with š° and šÆ wants to be with š°.
Iām not saying that my observations canāt be the same kind of biased. Because itās very well possible that other pairs get āthe lookā, too. And itās possible that šÆ might show jealousy when š¦ has a moment with someone such a š¦. Iām not so attuned to those things, so itās really possible that Iām just not observing it.
But I really do try to pay attention to all angles and see things from different perspectives. I often pay attention to common denominators and patterns. Because Iām an analyst. Itās literally my daily job to do so. But that doesnāt mean Iām right. Itās why I welcome evidence from other perspectives. Because I have to challenge my views and look at things differently. Itās how I keep from getting ātoo investedā or delusional about something.
This post isnāt about me trying to prove that my point of view is the right point of view or the best point of view. Itās about me trying to point out how people take the smallest things in regards to their ship to prove theyāre real.
I admit that I may be a little biased toward Vmin, but Iām open to every ship and arguments as to why Vmin might not be real.
The point in this post is also to talk a little about why I refer to some moments as ānothingā or āfan serviceā even when itās a vmin moment. Because this is something Iāve been asked about (to the point of people accusing me of being a secret anti-vmin) since I sometimes refer to their moments as āfan serviceā because sometimes it is. And Iām aware of that. But Iāve also analyzed moments that have real potential, while also being obvious fan service moments (such as the Vmin mama rose moment).
Basically, I hope this helps you understand better how I make my analyses and the things I focus on. And I also hope it helps you be more critical of what you perceive from what other people (myself included) say. Always, always be critical of any information you are given.
If Iām going to build a case for my reason to question something, Iām going to critically analyze anything that comes my way to build a strong case. Not use every tiny grain of salt I can to build a weak case.
Anyway. Sorry for this slightly unprompted analysis that hardly had anything to do with vmin specifically, but this is just something I wanted to talk about. Because of a mix of asks that have been sent to my box recently. And, like I said in the beginning, posts and responses Iāve seen around.
This might seem off topic to you, but itās on topic for me. If you understand my point behind adding this in here, youāll understand how itās on topic.
One of my favorite examples of biased analysis is the idea of needing glasses and sitting close to the TV.
So, we know pretty well that sitting close to the TV wonāt cause you to need glasses necessarily. The light may straight your eyes and make them tired and give you headaches, but it wasnāt damage them to the point of needing glasses. Thatās a myth. Why did that myth come around? Because there were children sitting closer to the TV because they had to since they couldnāt see. Rather than saying they needed glasses because they were sitting too close to the TV. The actual case is that they were sitting too close to the tv because they needed glasses. Itās why not every child who sits too close to the TV ends up needing glasses. Because thatās not what caused the need for the glasses.
And this relates to reasons behind shipping (and basically any other analyses you can make) because itās related to bias research.
Rather than saying āwhy do these children sit close to the tvā the question was āwhy do these children need glasses?ā Rather than researching and collecting data on children sitting close to the TV, they were collecting data on children who needed glasses. Does that make sense? The information would have been more useful if they were looking from both perspectives.
Another example is āyouāre more likely to die from a vending machine than a spider bite.ā
Whoās more likely to die from a vending machine than a spider bite? Not me. I donāt beat the crap out of vending machines or go near them regularly. However, I do live in an area with a lot of poisonous spiders. Just because there are more vending machine related deaths per year than spider bite related deaths doesnāt mean that every individual is more likely to die from a vending machine.
It may be true, however, that if you are crushed by a vending machine you are more likely to die from that than a spider bite is likely to kill you.
When you work in data science and analysis, you learn to be critical of information like this. And I think itās a useful thought process for people to have in general. Especially in a world where lies spread faster than the truth. We have to be critical of information that is given to us.
