#ARMYREALTALK I decided on today's topic for a variety of reasons. One of them being that I plan to post two articles over the next few days that might ruffle some feathers. And the other one is today's epidemic of BHFS aka "bandwagon hurt feelings syndrome".+
Shit need to be addressed so let's talk. First of all, I'd like to ask the class, how they think feelings work in general. And of course the difference between thoughts, feelings, opinions and the truth. Because istg some of y'all out here be using these words interchangeably+
Feelings are always valid, but they are just as transient, so basing and making an opinion based on a certain feeling alone is setting yourself up for embarrassment and failure. Thoughts are both the way we process or feelings but also the fuel to those, its a flow of ideas+
And again just as transient as feelings if not even more so, again that's just me telling you that you also need to understand and examine those thoughts because as you gather the facts, the reality changes so do those thoughts, and an opinion based on only+
Those transient concepts, is a judgement passed unfairly especially if those thoughts and feelings are not based on any sort of truth or fact or real observation or any real knowledge of the subject on which they are being made or passed. So in order words, get your facts+
Straight, before you open your trap and give your "opinions" because for example being black and "sensitive", or being white and "feeling entitled", do not then translate to "my feelings trump your feelings so shut up and let me attack people over them" nor does it translate to +
"I'm right and you should shut up". The real power lies in knowledge! Know your truth, know your facts, know your circumstances, and think critically before you say something or click the tweet or that retweet button. And lately in this fandom, we lack that common sense+
I cant force people to think critically before they speak or act. And notice I said "think critically" and not just "think" because those people who do the dumb shit its not that they don't have any thoughts , i assure you they do, but like i mentioned its based on air+
Based on nothing but personal biases, and feelings formed over 1)misinformation 2) a misguided sense of self-righteousness 3) a lack of education.
And like i covered in my last thread good manners are also a part of being educated. The thing is +
And like i covered in my last thread good manners are also a part of being educated. The thing is +
You don't have to be perfect, or to know it all or to have a university degree to be considered educated, at least in my opinion. Some of my favorite people to converse with are sometimes illiterate, self-taught, or just plain novices at learning but you know what+
I found? In common with all these people? A lot of them don't have an ego the size of the world, and are willing to learn, and grow, and often tend to ask questions when they don't know something. Because I find that the "know it alls" are always the least educated of+
The bunch. I feel like a lot of yall in this fandom think you know it all, or you feel so entitled to so many things that if you dont get them, your brains turn straight to negativity. For example, yall feel entitled to BTS private lives so if they dont do it the way+
You think they should. Y'all get mad! Yall feel entitled to their creative process and their creative output so if their art doesn't suit yall taste. Y'all get mad! Yall feel entitled to their decision making process, so if they dont collab with people you enjoy +
Or dont react the way you want them to, yall get mad! Yall feel entitled to fellow armys minds, and decisions and thought process, so if they dont agree with on everything, yall get mad! And suddenly they are the devil, exposed threads everywhere, they're bts haters!+
They need to be "canceled"! First of all, I'd like to ask the peanut gallery to calm the fuck down. And think about this. I see yall all over my tl bragging about acceptance and diversity in the fandom and then yall be the same not knowing how to be accepting of other+
People's differences, and not knowing how to handle diversity. Its sad to see really, how you contradict yourself, all the time. I seen people call fellow army trump supporters because they hold republican beliefs, im christian so apparently that makes me homophobic, indian+
Army are all completely ignorant of what goes on in the west, Muslim army are all backward thinking terrorists, Italian army are all mafioso loving imps, Mexican army are all immigrants trying to make it in america, French army all live in Paris, African army dont have internet+
I could keep going on and on and on. About how the thought process goes, and because of that whenever something breaks out, everybody and they mama think they know everything about everyone on this damn bird app. And yall need to realize something, the world is not +
Reduced to your small-minded, limited, and lack luster categorization of it and the media is not a infallibly reliable source of information. And The moment people in this fandom realize that and start thinking about what they approach things, and start doing their own research+
And start using Google, and start reading and start learning how to find facts and how to think critically is the moment we would have moved passed a lot of hurdles as a fandom. Which is what im trying to promote here on this damn platform. EDUCATE Y'ALL SELVES+
LEARN SOME MANNERS, ASK QUESTIONS! and most importantly BE HONEST WITH YOUR FEELINGS AND ASK YOURSELF WHY YOU FEEL THE WAY YOU DO! Because often times we dont realize, that the things we do are caused by a lack of self assessment and self reflection. +
Im hoping to open that conversation and facilitate it and help improve things withing the fandom with the #purplehub and #purplehandbook project that we're trying to kickstart. To help facilitate communication between different parts of the fandom and reduce the spread of +
Misinformation, and misconceptions. I explained this in this thread for those of you who dont know

In the meanwhile. Please have that conversation with yourself. Ask yourself about your own misconceptions, and misguided thoughts and attitude and start that conversation because we need it especially right now in this fandom. Be alert, seek information, self-reflect and we+
Might just be fine as a fandom. I hope you were able to have some thoughts through this. Spread this to people who need to hear it. For those of you who already do this, fighting! And I purple you all.
