I don’t think it’s helpful to spread the idea that previous comebacks were problem-free and somehow it suddenly got worse. I’ve been involved with comebacks since 2016 and I’ve never known one that didn’t have at least some ARMYs causing unnecessary stress for the rest of us +
What’s more helpful is telling new ARMYs that whilst this happens, it’s not the end of the world and you have the tools to manage it. There are a lot of us and not everyone is going to behave in a helpful way, but you can mute words, you can unfollow, mute and block accounts +
There seems to be a trend of ARMYs experiencing a few comebacks and then seeing the past with rose-tinted spectacles and forgetting the issues we had. It implies those CBs were perfect (not true) and that any problems we have now were bought in by newer ARMYs (also not true) +
Rather than romanticising the past and acting like ‘it all suddenly went wrong’ what’s more important is understanding that your comeback experience is curated by you. You choose what you engage with and you choose what you put on other people’s timelines +
Considering we’re all individuals and there are millions of us, characterising a comeback as either good or bad, or our collective mood as either positive or negative makes no sense anyway. Like Yoongi says, just put your hands on what you can control.
