TRIGGER WARNING! SEXUAL ASSAULT AND GENERALLY CREEPY SHIT!
hey babyz! so, i’m probably one of the younger fans here and i’m a fan of bts, but their new album ‘her’ has a song called pied piper that is extremely disgusting, and as a survivor of some shit, i can’t stay silent on this and i’m hoping that as a mature fandom (many of us are in uni/college) we can try and signal boost this and try to reach out to younger people to let them know that this, on so many levels is not okay.
the lyrics in pied piper start off by talking about a fan who analyzes music videos, has many posters in her room of the boys, and how they’re obsessed with them. they then go on to describe this song as the girl’s “reward” and calls them a “good girl”
then it proceeds to say “you aren’t being punished, come here” and talks about how she can’t close her eyes.
and then the real kicker: “you may struggle but it won’t matter anymore”
that, ladies and gentleman, is fucking sexual assault. they are literally describing about how they’re going to sexually assault the listener as a “reward” for being a “good girl” for obsessing over the band.
a few lines later, they say they’ll save and ruin the fan and then “you’re the one who called me here, see how it’s sweet?”
so… the fan is asking for it? nice. good job, guys. great fucking lyrics.
scroll a bit further down and
“i am your guilty pleasure, you can never get out of this, never”
so um yeah. thanks bts. good to know how you see your fans and how you’re so fucking open about how you know you’re manipulating them and want to sexually torment them. and i wish i was exaggerating but i’m not. the lyrics are right there, that’s what they say and considering the first verse, the song is very fucking literal.
so yeah bts are highkey cancelled let’s not tolerate this shit and instead tell younger fans that this is really predatory and wrong because it is.
