i haven’t seen anyone speaking about this on here yet. namjoon has been removed from the pixel projects list of male role models. he was listed as one of the top male role models helping to stop violence against women in 2024

screenshot from the pixel projects website that reads: Effective today, we are indefinitely suspending RM from our list of male role models. We will also be reviewing and revising our Father's Day 2025 op-ed that featured RM as a case study of a good but imperfect male role model. the second part of the page is on a box with a stamp across the text that reads “indefinitely suspended” making the text underneath it bared to read. it is an excerpt from the article that listed him as one of the top male role models helping to stop violence against women from 2024. The Pixel Project had been waiting for RM to issue a public statement or acknowledgement regarding the Chris Brown concert before we responded to this controversy. However, it has been a week of silence on RMs part and that silence is deafening. BTS is currently the biggest boy band in the world; their every action has a huge impact and influence on pop culture and the global audience. Whether they like it or not, they are public role models by default, and with this great power comes great responsibility.We have never expected any male role model to be perfect. Everyone is human after all. But being a decent human being also means being accountable when your choices hurt other people.RMs choice to take that photo with Brown is, at best, careless about the wider damaging impact that comes from publicly associating with a known abuser whose track record of violence is so extensive there is a Wikipedia page dedicated to it. Intent does not always align with impact. Even if RM did not intend for that picture to be a public endorsement of an abuser or violence against women, their level of fame means that they have automatically platformed Brown in front of their millions of fans and the general public. In doing so, they have contributed to perpetuating the system that normalises violent men facing minimal consequences for gender-based violence. This is despite having a fandom that is at least 90% women and girls.Additionally, as the outpouring of messages, posts, and comments across social media from ARMYs shows, the public association between both BTS members and Brown evident in the snapshot has also inflicted harm intended or not by causing mental and emotional distress to many ARMYs, some of whom are survivors of domestic and sexual violence.To date, the negative ramifications of the picture of RM, JHope, and Chris Brown continue to ripple out. Brown clearly perceives it as RM and JHopes support for him and has gone after a female ARMY for speaking out about him

i'm usually all in favor of broadway shows making edits to the book and score through the early weeks of a run but the carly rae jepsen musical is the exception because i need a cast album immediately

i'm glad to see people are drawing a line at the chris brown stuff. but i can't help feeling disappointed that so many of these people didn't think bts working with zionists merited a similar call to action.

decided to give a fic with a love triangle a chance because it had a very clear endgame and minimal interactions with the secondary love interest only for there to be untagged infidelity right at the end
