Let& #39;s talk about the false equivalence fallacy solos use and why none of their arguments actually hold up
"where was this energy for [insert issue of the week]?"
- the majority of ARMY knows to move in silence and only use # for things like racism
- we spread things in DMs, report things that break twitter& #39;s TOS, and report things Hybe can take action on to the protect email

- many things - like publicly spreading links to hate blogs - only drives more traffic to them and increases the hate
- if I posted "receipts" for everything I report, my tl would be 80% reports
- it& #39;s possible to do multiple things at the same time (shocking!)

"you stan big accounts more than 875"
- mathematically this is just false. Any ARMY is going to have more tweets about the guys
- standing up to mass bullying and the spread of false information isn& #39;t stanning. It& #39;s common decency
- again, multitasking is a thing

"how does X& #39;s ass taste/x isn& #39;t going to fck you/here come the x minions"
- personal attacks mean you have nothing of substance to say
- dog-piling because you don& #39;t like the person is the performative outrage described in UGH
- again, most ARMY just want the bullying to stop

"they& #39;re a known anti"
- known because someone made a thread about them that takes tweets out of context and adds their own interpretation of the tweets?
- next time a solo uses this on you, ask them to explain why they& #39;re an anti using their own words

- next time a solo uses this on you, ask them to explain why they& #39;re an anti using their own words
- another thing to do is send them a link with a search term from that person& #39;s account. The number of tweets someone has about a member/topic doesn& #39;t equal how much they love them, but it& #39;s pretty clear what are ARMY tweets vs what are anti tweets
"K-ARMY are saying [insert sht take here]
- K-ARMY aren& #39;t a monolith
- the K side has solo, mantis, stalkers, etc - just like every country
- solos will take a single tweet from a K solo and pretend it& #39;s the majority opinion

"[member] only has [solo stan nickname]"
- the guys are all part of BTS. ARMY support BTS
- not supporting brand ranking, articles, donating funds to solo bases, etc doesn& #39;t equal not supporting an individual member
- none of their solo achievements are the work of solos alone

"they never promote brand ranking/saying brand ranking doesn& #39;t matter means you& #39;re an x anti"
- solo brand ranking doesn& #39;t matter because BTS only do endorsements as a group
- no poll is needed to know that BTS are the most in demand group for advertisements. Money talks

And once you provide them with info dispelling the misinformation, "I& #39;m not reading all that"
- they either had time to read the "expose" thread and are choosing to stay ignorant of new information
- or they never read the original thread and are happy to remain a sheep

Tips to help solos expose their own hypocrisy:
- don& #39;t get dragged into side arguments. Stay on track and get them to explain their own faulty logic of their original point
- ask them to explain things in their own words
- don& #39;t fall for false equivalence

- the point of engaging with solos isn& #39;t to change their mind. It& #39;s to 1) stand up against bullying and misinformation and 2) for new ARMY or ARMY who weren& #39;t online when something happened. Solos speak confidentially even when they& #39;re being stupid, so if you weren& #39;t around when
x happened, their confidence legitimizes their version of events.
Final thought: you never have to defend yourself as an ARMY to a solo stan when they& #39;re OT1
