My god, the fandom totally frustrated me. I want to avoid twitter but we know lot of clips from there so I have to come back there sometimes. But some of them are just so ignorant. Spreading bts video around, the SS, the blurred version, yet don't feel guilty about it. They even angry when people came at them, some even saying to not control them, and other shitty stuff. That's not the point? After weibo mess and they still act like they entitled to do whatever they want. My mood is bad rn

This touches on the whole BTS controversy, and is going to go long, so I’m putting a cut here.

I witnessed that entire situation on Twitter, Anon, and I felt differently from you about it. Yes, that person was sharing sasaeng video and refused to stop doing so. When someone does that, I ask them to stop and if they don’t, I block them and where appropriate, report them. I do that here on Tumblr as well. That is the entirety of what I can do about this. I feel strongly that any other action taken by myself in these matters is likely to do more harm than good. And the whole Twitter drama was a perfect example of that.

What I witnessed on Twitter was savage, cruel and unnecessary. There was a huge pile-on of attacks against that poor girl, until she was in tears and begging people to leave her alone, telling people she was at work and to please have some compassion.

I understand people are frustrated about the Weibo attack, but let’s try to remember that was a paid anti attack. That poor girl wasn’t responsible for it, nor were the people who shared the BTS that the antis bought a hot search for, nor were even the fan sites who initially released that BTS responsible for it. The attack was the sole responsibility of the antis who chose to buy and promote that search.

What I have seen is that a lot of fans have gone on to attack each other, fight and argue over the BTS. I have seen some particularly nasty tags even here on Tumblr (putting something in a tag doesn’t make it any less visible to others, nor any less inflammatory).

How does anyone feel that helps GG or DD? Whose purposes do fan wars serve?

I’ll tell you my opinion: the fan wars serve the purposes of the antis. It is, in fact, a huge part of why they buy these searches. I’ve talked about this before, but the more hatred and anger that can be sown between various groups of fans, the better for those who hate GG and DD. The better for the corporate interests that want to take them down.

When antis attack GG and DD, that is their choice to do so. Blaming anti attacks on other fans is just another way of in-fighting. It doesn’t serve anyone’s purpose but the antis. I believe that is part of their intent when they make those attacks. To try to trigger more fandom wars, which only stirs more controversy and makes GG and DD look bad.

We are always going to have disagreements, and that is normal and totally OK. There’s no ‘universality of experience’ when it comes to being a fan. No ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way of being a fan. There are some things we should avoid and some things we should try to work on improving, and each of us has our own personal opinion of where those lines should be drawn. But at the end of the day we are all here to love and support, and everyone has to make their own decisions about how to do that.

You know what? - and this is a thing I think we all need to remember - people actually ARE ‘entitled to do whatever they want’. They have the supreme and inviolable right to make huge mistakes, to be wrong and even harmful. We may not like the choices other people make, but we have to accept that those are their choices to make, those are their mistakes to make. And they will have their own journey of dealing with the impact of their choices.

We can’t control what other people do, say or think. The only thing that we ever have any control over is how we choose to respond to what they do, say or think. And I want to make the potentially radical suggestion that we try to make those responses as measured, charitable and compassionate as we possibly can.

I don’t ever want to do or say anything hurtful toward others, but especially not in GGDD’s name. I don’t ever want to cut others down or make claims about their attitudes or character or question their love for GGDD, or anything of that sort - but especially not in GGDD’s name.

I don’t think they would want arguments and bickering done in their name. I don’t think they would want judgments or attacks or suspicions spread in their name. I don’t think they would want fan wars conducted in their name.

GG put it best in one of his interviews after the whole controversy this year, when he said that he wants people to enjoy being fans, but to do so rationally. He said he doesn’t need the protection of the fans.

So please, people, when discussing these issues - REMEMBER THE HUMAN on the other side of your keyboard. Remember that there are real people out there who you could be hurting with your words. Remember that we are living in uncertain times with an incredible amount of hardship in the world, and your words have the potential to help or harm. Let’s always try to help.

Remember that doing and saying hurtful things in GGDD’s name - it’s simply not what either of them would want.

If you are frustrated, if you are hurting and angry, please try to reach out and make connections rather than attacks. We are all fans, we all love them. Let’s try to work together rather than against each other.

If you come across hate, ignore and block (and report where appropriate). Don’t engage in fan wars.

Let’s not do the dirty work of the antis.

Growing Up in the South & Selling Lemonade

What I loved about being a child in the South was that we played outdoors all the time. Playing Atari games was a real treat, but most of our days were spent running around the neighborhood, riding our bikes, and exploring the woods. I had one of those idyllic childhoods where I would get home at three o’clock, throw down my backpack, and run outside with my brother to join the neighborhood kids for games of jump rope and imagination.

Kids ran to one another’s houses, shared one another’s homes. There weren’t a lot of rules, boundaries, or playdates. No one scheduled us. I learned about social dynamics by having to get along with whatever bunch of random children happened to be outside on any given day. I also learned how to turn down boys' affections.

In the evening, whenever our folks left the house, my brother and I would go on a mission to eat all the sweets we could find. Eli was the family spy. He always managed to see where my mom hid the best treats, and the minute the adults departed, we would find the stash. He would drag the big kitchen stool next to the fridge and climb up to get to Mom’s “hidden” stash of M&M’s or MoonPies. Joy was staying up past our bedtime, watching cartoons, hiding the empty candy bags behind the sofa cushions.

At the same time, we were expected to clean up nicely and to have impeccable manners in polite society.

We were taught to look people in the eye and to say hello and smile. Smiling at people is a big part of life in the South. If a child does not wave back at someone walking down the street, don’t be surprised if the adult says, “Excuse me, little one. Where are your manners?”

Good manners take very little effort. It’s not that hard to smile. My mother likes to say, “Smiles are contagious.” Try smiling at people you don’t even know for a day. Even if you’re not in Tara, most of them will smile back at you. It really does make a difference. Those little daily kindnesses, they can really change the mood of a block, a neighborhood, a city. My mother made sure we knew it was a necessity to be extra-nice to people doing the hard jobs that make other people more comfortable, like waiters, salespeople, and hotel workers. I love the way Big Papa is with people at a restaurant—in fact, I always observe how people act with waiters. It says a lot.

I sometimes meet hundreds of new people a week, because of the travel I do for work. I think there’s something really great about learning to look people in the eye, to introduce yourself, to be respectful, to take care of other people’s property. We always say in the South that good manners are a kind of passport. If you have good manners, you can go everywhere and people are glad to have you around.

We were taught manners by example. The older women in our families were unflappably polite. Southern women are strong and outspoken but also beautifully composed and always present their best selves to the world. They believe in character and the presentation of that character. They aren’t afraid to tell you how they really feel.

Someone once told me they thought people in the South were passive-aggressive in their politeness. Certainly not! In my experience, a southern woman will tell you right to your face if she doesn’t like something. If my mother or grandmother wasn’t pleased with my behavior, she’d say, “I don’t like that. The way you’re behaving is ugly. I don’t like when children behave ugly.” I feared their disapproval, and one pointed look from either of them could terrify me. Getting a “Stop acting ugly” was just the worst! I hated disappointing my grandma or my mother.

But they also taught me to strive for behavior that was beautiful. And in my mother’s and grandmother’s eyes, what was beautiful was treating others with respect and putting your best foot forward. Taking care of your community was beautiful, as was doing nice things for others. My grandma always said, “Pretty is as pretty does.” People aren’t pretty if they act ugly.

One time my grandma caught me chewing gum. She said, “The only appropriate place to chew gum is behind a door.” One time I really wanted to chew gum, so I went behind the door to do it, just to prove a point. But it made me realize that some people think it’s rude to chew gum around them. I like gum. But I was able to see my grandmother’s perspective: there is a time and a place for chewing gum, because, let’s just face it, it can be a little gross watching other people chew.

One other thing the South gave me as a child was a good work ethic. I had two business ventures as a young person, and both taught me lessons that I still put into practice today.

The first was a lemonade stand. I think a lemonade stand is a really good way for kids to learn about business. My brother and I took it very seriously. We would fill one of my mom’s huge tea pitchers with ice-cold lemonade and set up our table with paper cups, napkins, and a Mason jar to hold our money.

Eli and I always fought about pricing. He is four years older and thought we should be charging more than I thought we should. We would compromise on a quarter a cup, because we could take those quarters straight to the arcade afterward.

Creating the sign for the lemonade stand was my favorite part. Give me markers and some poster board, and I’m in my element. I also liked innovating: I’d find ways for our stand to be special, such as putting mint leaves in each cup, or having both iced tea and lemonade so people could create their own Arnold Palmer.

Being the loudmouth of the family, I was also the designated barker. I would flag down cars and harangue people into extra cups (“Doesn’t your husband want a cup, too?”). My brother and I developed quite a reputation on our block for running a tidy business.

Our second venture was our more innovative by far. It all began in third grade with some hair clips. I spotted them at the mall. They were very cool and just fifty cents apiece, and they were glimmering with potential. I had my brother front me some money as an investment, so I could get a lot of them and some paint pens.

I wrote my name with paint pen on the barrettes, wore them to school, and waited for other girls to notice. It didn’t take long. Soon they started asking me if I’d make them barrettes. Sure, I would: for $2. They would meet me at my desk before or after school, and in bubble letters I’d write their name or a chosen slogan in paint pen for a markup of $1.50. The orders poured in. It became like a status symbol: everybody had to have a hair clip. And so began my first real triumph in the entrepreneurial space.

I learned a lot of principles of business that way. I learned about pricing, and that margins are important. I learned that the customer is always right. If she didn’t like the writing, I had to redo it and absorb the cost of the one that she didn’t like. I learned that marketing is everything.

But I flew too close to the sun. I spent more time on my barrette business than on schoolwork, became a distraction to the girls around me, and got paint pen all over my desk. As a result, I got into a lot of trouble and my business was shut down by my third-grade teacher. Ah, the hazards of an elementary school start-up . . .

In both the lemonade-stand and barrette businesses, I loved learning about how business works. I was fascinated with the idea of turning a profit. I wasn’t afraid of hard work, and I liked engaging the market. It made me understand supply and demand. Also, I did like making enough cash to maintain my very expensive sticker collection.

The main thing I learned from all my entrepreneurial success was that working with my brother on the funding for the hair clip venture or on selling lemonade made those things more fun. To this day, it’s important to me to really enjoy the people I work with. That’s another thing that I learned way back in elementary school: Don’t go into business with people you don’t like, because you never know whether or not you’ll be successful in the end, so it’s important to enjoy the journey.

These days I don't start a venture with people I’m not ready to spend a lot of time with, because, let’s face it, if work is fun, it doesn’t feel like work. I feel like I’m putting on an old pair of slippers that fit just right.”

Lemonade-Stand Lemonade

12 lemons

1 cup sugar

6 cups cold water

1. Finely grate the zest of two of the lemons. Place the zest and sugar into a small saucepan with one cup of the water. Bring to a boil over high heat and reduce to a simmer. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes.

2. While the sugar syrup cools, juice the lemons (you should have about 1 cup fresh lemon juice). Place the juice in a gallon-sized jar. Pour the cooled syrup into the jar through a mesh strainer. Discard the solids. Pour the cold water into the jar and top with a tight-fitting lid. Shake well to combine. Chill until ready to use. Serve over ice. Adjust the sugar to sweeten to your liking.
