(sorry this is long)
as a boycotter who's stopped music, and almost everything from the entertainment industry across the globe (particularly songs with zionist writers/producers/singers) I just wanna say, this whole "armys only boycotted taehyung" or "armys are silent about the boycott now when it's the fav" is disingenuous at best.
A) The reason most taehyung fans even heard about the boycott in the first place, is because tae's content was included in it.
tae fans focused on what Palestinian armys were doing only when it affected tae, and were completely ignorant otherwise (for the most part).
So why do some of these fans think that just because they personally haven't seen anything, that the boycott has somehow ended, or isn't going just as strongly?
Those fans haven't seen much cause those fans don't focus on much outside of tae.
Tae has faced lots of sabotage by company/industry over the years, but reducing the boycott, which was made by those who don't hate tae at all (or any of the members) as some sort of ploy to sabotage tae, is ignorant af. especially when the movement was created by actual Palestinians trying to get HYBE to fire an actual extremist zionists who is directly complicit with what's going on.
Scooter isn't just a guy who believes in Israel, he's actively worked hard to benefit Israel. Mf got a shoutout from Israel. He visited occupied Syria and posed with the same tanks that have killed innocent people. Not to mention where he spends the money he earns, and the effort he's put in to spread dangerous propaganda worldwide.
His influence in Hybe is also growing, and that's exactly what we were afraid of.
Hybe's done nothing except ignore us and try to silence us, and continue to have their artists collab with the biggest zionist brands, and work with zionists.
Idk, Tae is my bias and I always thought a lot of tae fans were kind of smart, but seeing how literally all fans, whether they're ot7 or solos or akgaes, behave in the same exact way, has shattered that belief.
Pal armys could call out every member, but every fan will choose to be blind during that UNTIL the member they bias or stan is the one being called out, then suddenly it's "oh you only focus on X, but not on *insert other member* who did so and so"
literally every time.
Like right now, Tae just posted about McDonalds. majority of ta fans ar gonna go 'y'all have a problem ONLY with tae. Y'all HATE Tae. This fandom is ANTI Tae, and you didn't say anything about other members..." which is immediately just clown talk, considering how much Jin was being called out for being a torch bearer in the olympics (olympics was officially on the bds list) and for signing with a zionist brand very recently.
B) Perhaps part of the reason y'all haven't heard more about the boycott this time around (despite more and more people actually joining the movement) is because while before, fans would boycott but still talk and be excited by the content, now a lot of fans are focusing more and more on things outside of Kpop, so less and less boycotters have even spoken about Jm's albums (although files have been shared, and boycotters have been reported and suspended for it, still)
Idk, if you don't agree with the boycott movement , that's one thing, but to play sabotage olympics specifically about this, when it has nothing to do with biases or whatever, and everything to do with not wanting to give a dime to HYBE's greedy, capitalistic, zionist ass, is frustrating.
No one is exempt from being called out, and doing so isn't because "we're anti", and nor is any specific member, or group, or artist being specifically targeted, everyone is.
Also, OP, the harshness of my ask isn't directed at you at all, you've said nothing wrong, but this idea seems prevalent with a lot of tae fans, and I've seen this take too many times today.
No one bothers listening to Palestinians fans to learn what's actually happening. Everyone just makes their own assumptions to suit their narrative and then runs with that :/
Hi!
I’ve seen lots of people saying “you only focus on x member instead of…” and I assume it’s because of laser focus: your tl is all about your bias so you see people complaining about it making it seem like they’re only calling him out, kind of like an echo chamber. But they really all got called out, be it Jk with Golden, Jin and his new brand/olympics, Nj and his daily posts, the zionist collabs…
Now this case specifically, the mcd picture, I think it was just to show how tiny were the fries compared to his hand and considering he took that one year ago it’s harmless, the problem is choosing to post that RIGHT NOW, with an active boycott going on. So I do agree on educating him, that’s the best thing you can do. I don’t agree with it being used for fanwars, for a dick measuring contest where you wanna show that x is better than y, that’s not activism, that’s you trying to win a moral competition in a stan twitter fanwar. That’s the furthest you could be from activism. I also won’t stand with armys who have tried to make him a scapegoat for months and are now resorting to call him with the worst names and throw the worst allegations on him, that’s not educating. Don’t hold him to standards you don’t even hold yourself to, that’s what I’m saying. But I am 100% in for educating him.

The writing ask reminds me, Fun Fact: I actually read your Octotrio Cannibalism Fanfiction when I first got into twst, before I ever even found your blog
When I then did via Vilidia you still had your Ao3 account linked so when I went to check it out imagine my suprise when I saw the fic again
I found it a little funny to run into someone twice without originally noticing, honestly I think that was very cool
But you mentioned that you like baking in your response to my ask, might I ask if you have a favourite thing to bake? Anything you never have, but would really want to? Any memorable mishaps, great successes or really anything you'd like to mention?
-Leuchtturm
That is actually wild omg
Fun fact about the octotrio cannibalism fic, Tavi ( @tavi-on-the-3ds ) actually printed it out and made it into a small scroll you can read. This now sits on my desk waiting for an unsuspecting person to pick it up and read fish people cooking and eating their friend.
Most of the time I bake cakes and cake pops. One of the most fun parts of baking to me is decorating, so most of what I make has a specific theme in mind. Also most of what I make is usually for family events.
These are some of my favorite cake pops that I’ve made. The first was a lemon cake pop and a remake of the first ever one I’ve made. It turned out exponentially better. The second I think was for a birthday, but it was root beer flavored. The third was for a sports event and was chocolate and stout flavored. I think to this day it’s one of my best designed cake pops.
Writing this has made me realize I don’t have many pictures of the food I’ve made lol
