When We Have to Hold Another Fave Accountable: RM

Afternoona Army: Thinky and Thirsty BTS Takes

In the second installment of her NEW AND LEAST FAVORITE SERIES ON THE PLANET, today Afternoona Army host, Lia, asks why did RM use his giant Instagram platform to showcase a song from a convicted abuser of women. Is she advocating censorship? No. Does she think RM personally endorses abuse. Nothing even close. Is she an anti? NO! GOD! NO! But as a literal card-carrying member of ARMY, does she have the right to use her small corner of the internet to ask hard questions to members? She thinks so! Otherwise she feels complicit in poor choices and that's not okay.

Current mood: BLERGH.
