Okay guys let's do some boot camp right here right now
The reactions towards RM and 1VERSE was extremely shameful on behalf of a lot of armys.
So I thought I should post some manners that we as fans should pick up for the upcoming release of Suga’s mixtape
1) APPRECIATE SUGA’S WORK
yes we know that Suga is quite handsome but did he spend the last 3 years producing his face or his mixtape???
2) INFIRES, “LAZY SUGA”, AND ETC MEMES ARE A NO GO
I’m sorry guys, but those jokes are tasteless now. They’re not a big deal in Korea, so they shouldn’t be a big deal anywhere else. I’m pretty sure Suga would appreciate sincere comments on his work rather than having to scroll down 5000 pages to just get to one “I’m really enjoying your mixtape! You’re a big inspiration to me :)”
3) DON’T BE NASTY AND POST GROSS SEXUAL COMMENTS
Just please? Jungkook even said that he doesn’t read a lot of the intl-army tweets because they’re too vulgar and sexual. Please don’t take Suga’s right to read the response he got from his fans all over the world.
BE MATURE AND PROFESSIONAL
4) If Suga credits an artist/song for his mixtape, don’t flood it with “like if Suga brought you here!” or the infamous “any armys here?”
5) ONCE AGAIN IF ONE OF SUGA’S TRACKS SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER SONG, IT IS NOT PLAGIARISM OR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT. MIXTAPES ARE FREE FOR DOWNLOAD, SO THEREFORE IT IS OKAY FOR THE PRODUCER TO SAMPLE ANOTHER SONG WITHOUT CREDITING THE ORIGINAL ARTIST (BECAUSE IT IS NOT CAUSING THE ORIGINAL ARTIST ANY FINANCIAL HARM)
6) PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ THE TRANSLATIONS FOR THE LYRICS. YOU WILL GET TO LEARN THE MOST OF SUGA THROUGH HIS LYRICS
7) OTP’S ARE NOT REAL. OTP’S ARE PURELY A FANDOM’S FANTASY. DO NOT FLOOD HIS COMMENTS WITH ANY REFERENCES TO YOUR OTP AND THINGS LIKE “Omg, I bet he wrote that song for Jimin”
8) Before you make any references: this has been a widely spread mistranslation but the infamous line from cypher series is “whether you’re a boy or girl, my flexible tongue movements when I rap will send you to Hong Kong.”
Being sent to Hong Kong does not necessarily mean to “come” it just means to feel really good.
Suga is more than his jokes and his “laziness”. He is not cold-hearted and he is not a meme for you to toss around. He is a man that had spent the past three years (maybe even since pre-debut) preparing for his mixtape and his own solo releases. He is someone that stays up till the early morning producing and writing lyrics for BTS and himself. He is someone that screams out of frustration, he is someone that went to the concert venue that he could not perform at and cried because he felt so ashamed of himself, he is someone that was told that he would make his family fail. He is someone that has been through so much and he is a man that is full of thoughts. This mixtape is something that he’s worked incredibly hard on and is something that represents him. Min Yoongi. A person that sadly, we do not see much of because we perceive him as a character rather than an actual human being.
He loves Armys so much. But sadly, he has often seen our ugliest moments as a fandom (the Europe incident, being shoved and crowded at the airport, and countless of small other events). Let’s make him proud by showing him our responsible and loveable side as intl-armys.
(Feel free to add on anything else you think should be said!)
