Thank you for adding this because I agree that this particular aspect of the book was incredibly troubling for me and left a bad taste in my mouth when I finished it.

I never thought about it this way, obviously coming from an able bodied- bias. Its one of my favorite books and I think its more of what Will wanted for himself. I think if anything through Lou's love for will JoJo shows that a disabled life IS worth living and being loved, but it isn't the life Will want for himself. BUT that is just my perspective and this is an important discussion to have!

Thank you for adding this. I am a disabled person and I have watched the movie but not read the book (yet - I do own it). I’m personally ok with how the movie depicted this issue. I don’t see it as an overall view of what disabled people go through but more a personal individual experience of this one character. Although I wouldn’t do what he did to end his life, I do respect and understand it completely. Thanks for all the amazing videos you create, I enjoy them a lot!! You clearly put a lot of hard work and effort into each one.

It's a book written by a non-disabled author using disability as a plot point because the narrative is very much the story of an able bodied person and how they think a disabled person should feel and behave. I'd urge everyone who's read it or watched the film to seek out reviews of it from disabled people to understand the problems in it and to read stories from disabled voices, memoirs, anthologies like 'Unbroken' (edited by Marieke Nijkamp) or 'Disfigured' by Amanda Leduc which examines ableism in fairy tales. Suggesting that it's ok because it's Will's choice might make you feel better but ignores how his death was entirely preventable if his depression had actually been taken seriously and treated professionally rather than being hand waved away as 'respecting his choice', which really just reveals able bodied peoples fear of disability. This book not only reinforces that fear of disability but is part of the attitudes that enable governments to force disabled people to live in poverty and effectively enact genocide on disabled populations. Just read how disabled people have disproportionally suffered during covid. Ultimately can one really say 'it was Will's choice' when he was clearly living with a huge amount of internalised ableism? Was not the choice imposed upon him?

@@narflet I completely understand where you're coming from, and although I do agree with most of what you said, I think it's also problematic to think of his depression (caused by ableism) as the only reason for his choice. Depression is treatable and without a doubt the main cause for the desire of death antecipation, but that doesn't have to discredit this desire.

Same, not an army, but some of their lyrics and music videos are so beautiful and inspiring. Namjoon and Yoongi are amazing lyrists. Their themes, symbolism and wording really inspire me for writing essays. One of my favorite songs lyric-wise is 'Strange', that song really got me thinking. It's a shame they keep releasing those English songs that aren't written by them, they only give people a wrong image of BTS.

How is you passion coming along? 🙂

Couldn't agree more. I'm too, not even an army but little did i know that namjoon is a smart and wise person. He's like smart-smart kind of a guy you're having crush on in college.

The thing is, there was nothing wrong with the lyrics to the song. Plenty of songs by female artists are like that. Look at Shoop by Salt-n-Pepa, for instance. No one says anything about female artists talking about how hot guys are in their lyrics.

war of hormone a BANGER tho

@@tiff9464 Yep. One of my fave songs of theirs. They put something out 8 years ago and it made sense at the time.

*This is for ppl who don't know much of WOH controversy under this comment* ..So about the "m-i-s-o-g-y-n-i-s-t" lyrics & the controversy...let me clear the misunderstanding k-popies & some ARMYs hv..this was blown out of proportion by h@ters & Antis to create drama that time, which worked cuz k-popies & media latched on it... *This is going to long a$$ comment* Let's be real, War of Hormones wasn't misogynistic. It was just an honest song about what guys in that age range go through. They were straight up saying that they struggle with their hormones when they see a pretty girl, *and guess what? That's just being honest.* 👁️👄👁️ The title itself gives a clear idea to how they see it. A war. An internal conflict. And it's true to what guys in their late teens and early 20s go through. Bangtan has always been about talking about their experiences and being a voice of people their age. The entire album, Dark & Wild, was really just about the turmoils of young adulthood. In the title of the album too, you can already tell what the sentiment was going to be. The first 3 albums spoke about school and issues of teens. And then from there, the darker days of coming to terms with adulthood. And then the HYYH series. Everything was thematic with stories they wanted to tell as they go through life. Antis and fans of other groups were just grasping at straws to find something to shit on and unfortunately the media picked up on it and then some ARMY took it as truth and they themselves started talking as if the song was offensive. It isn't. We need to stop spreading this story as if BTS were misogynistic boys who needed to learn a lesson. Yes, Namjoon has learned a lot from the experience and has gone out of his way to speak to experts in women's studies, but I'm sure that whole ordeal also caused him unnecessary pain. *Now, My personal take on this:* I don't see anything wrong with the lyrics of the song. All boys go through puberty and the things BTS sung in this are just reflective of their experience going through that phase in their lives. This is the reason I love them and their songs.. they didn't hide anything and covered all the feelings/thoughts of a person who is in his/her adolescent...one can see them growing up from then till today…I personally don't find the lyrics offensive and “most” Armys as well..as I agree they are expressing the struggles of dealing with hormonal changes in adolescence, and I'm sorry but sexual attraction is the number one pressing issue in most hormonal teens regardless of gender. There's a couple of issues I take with people who found this offensive. First, the double standard. You can't tell me young women were purely innocent in their thoughts and feelings as they watched these young men dance and sing, they just didn't make a song about it, at least not publicly. Secondly, the entire concept BigHit wanted from BTS is a representation of the youth culture and the issues youth deal with as seen and heard through the lyrics and music of BTS, and of course everyone has or will experience sexual attraction. Yes, they refer to see through clothing and high heels etc, but I've seen hundreds of posts referring to JK's abs, Jimin's body rolls and shoulder "accidents" Tae's tongue...you get the idea, and while many comments aren't necessarily teens it's not a problem. There can only be an issue if the lyrics were implying that I'm only attracted to girls who wear heels and sheer clothing, not sneakers and sweats. Anyone who has experienced adolescence knows however that if they're sexually attracted to someone the person could easily walk around in a potato sack and an adolescent would still be entranced. A lot of people were offended by that line, "Girls are equations and us men just do them". Personally, I took it as "do them" meant they were puzzles to be solved, not a sexual act. RM was honestly shocked that people were offended by the lyrics and that they could be considered misogynistic. It was definitely a learning experience for him. He apologized and has since run his lyrics through a few professionals in women's studies before releasing a new song. They don't really release songs like this any more. *But to that a korean Army said translation in English were a bit off, which lead to misunderstandings and explained it saying : “I was kinda surprised it's translation was "do" because that part "do them" CAN actually sound offensive to some people, because the meaning of that word 'do' is not clear. However I can clearly say that it's not meant that way, and Korean version lyrics tell that. Words are more specific, and not controversial in Korean version lyrics, because it doesn't say 'do. That part in Korean is 여자들은 방정식 우리 남자들은 해 which says we men are 해 is a word for mathematics, and it means the 'answer/the final number'. So it means they solve. the complex minds of the girls. 해 DOES have the meaning of 'do' too, but its not appropriate to translate this part of the lyrics that way, because if u say it means "do them, it doesn't fit the sentence there. Since there's no Objectives for that Verb 'do' and that's... kinda awkward. plus. the context and meaning of the whole sentence is talking abt mathematics and Equations so what u said is true. It doesn't mean sexual way”* it's freaking mistranslation, if you don't belive me ask any korean, not only k-army but any Korean.. it was done to sabotage BTS's career..💀 BTS hv made few mistakes unknowingly early in their career and said things which can be considered offensive, as they were young but they hv re-educated themselves, apologized and never repeated the mistakes again..but I hv seen many k-popies and so called Multi Armys twisting many things because of that..take for example this song.. it's blown out of the proportion just to cause drama..and they were sadly successful in that..haters/antis tried every lil thing to bring BTS down & sabotage their career ngl.. *Now last but not the least* ..when this controversy happened, When joon apologized, The one thing that struck me about that was a part in the statement saying they took so long to apologize because they wanted to understand what exactly was the issue... And that part I definitely liked, I've never been a fan of blanket apologies.. BTS always try to understand the problem & try to improve..joon apologized because as the controversy was over "ppl were offended", he apologized for the ppl who were offended by this song, that doesn't mean the song was wrong, he was kind enough to take responsibility for it, ofc bighit & BTS took this issue (which was blown out of proportion) and apologized so that this unwanted drama surrounding the song would end (isn't that common sense) he sincerely apologised..but that doesn't mean that WOH is misogynist or objectifying women..like the title itself clears it out! "War of hormones" what ppl expected form this song to be like seriously?! Ppl who still want to believe that WOH is objectifying women are really dumb for me..like be practical..that's all i can say🤷🏻‍♀️ *I'm out* 🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏻‍♀️

@@jennifergreen6510 But you still don't get to decide how other people are personally affected by the lyrics, even if to you there was nothing wrong with them. People did in fact feel them to be misogynistic, and that's completely valid. So for you to resort to whataboutism and dismiss the lyrics as "nothing wrong" is giving bad taste.

ah, i see he's a man of culture as well

Kafka metamorphosis is an allegory for depression, and the story follows the main character’s family disgust for him. The man-bug is unable to go on with his day-to-day occupations and it’s quite interesting because you can see the disgust that the whole society has for this person, and how alone people who suffer from depression are

@@gailloulec9159 wow that's amazing

@@gailloulec9159 I don't think this book is necessarily about depression. I mean yeah, to an extend it is, but imo it's more about the protagonist's role as the sole breadwinner of the family in the modern world, and the alienation from oneself and the society that comes with that. The whole story isn't even about how he will return to being human again, it's rather about how he will attend work in his body of a bug and pay off the debts of his family. The alienation occurs because of his complete devotion to his work. We had this whole subject back in school, about how people lose themselves when they attend the role of a worker and looked at theories by Marx and stuff. the protagonist turns into a bug because his inner feelings about his work gain the upper hand etc. It's been a few years since I analyzed this book back in high school tho, so I'm not that confident in my theory anymore, but thanks for reading if you did :) (and sorry about the English, it's not my first language)

@@shereencrafts746 I said fact because I was following the video format, when he was giving the common interpretations about the songs. When I wrote fact I did mean that the line used referencing Kafka on the Shore, not the fact that the song is about suicide prevention. I should have worded it differently I agree, but I always thought that was the prevalent interpretation. I love that songs like this are left to our interpretation and we can find meaning for them, be that personal one or something we found from others. I had assumed that the correlation with the Kafka on the Shore line about not wanting to let someone go to an "in-between" meant not wanting to let someone grieve alone and leave this word. But thank you for the discussion, I am going to change the suicide prevention part to an intepretation instead.

Actually they all are lyricists, it is just that Namjoon and Suga are doing it and composing for the longest time

Same. I'd trust Joon with my life, that's how much I look up to him. He's such a role model. I don't trust him with cooking though, lmao.

@@lady_raineidv9297 hii i’m a twosetter too!!

@@hazuki689 omg hiiii!!!

bts have made songs with social commentaries so many times. they have even risked getting blacklisted by the government. they constantly have made songs on social commentaries. but the best part is that they dont do it out of some obligation. like their songs are always based on their own current feelings (eg all their songs in 2020 and 2021 were the outcome of their own pandemic feelings) and they break so many kpop norms of having 'concepts'.

Like seriously I trust a man that I have never met so much that if joon will knock at my window at 4 am and will say' come out' I will say' ok lemme grab my hoodie' Not mine words though 💜💜💜

i had no idea their music was so conceptual -- so cool!

@@jack_edwards Yes! and you should defo look into the BU (bts universe) and their books bc it’s awesome!

@@jack_edwards JACK CAN I RECCOMEND U SOME BTS SONGS

@Umamaheswari G it’s all good honestly, just click something. But if you want to start somewhere one of my fave albums is love yourself: tear.

@Umamaheswari G if you want emotional songs listen to SPRING DAY /epiphany / dimple / magic shop. rap - MIC DROP /cypher pt2/ dadeng / ugh Most popular hits of bts - FAKE LOVE lDOL/ bwl / make it right and one of the best mv and song is BLACK SWAN . Watch its orchestral version also very beautiful

honestly how i'd describe my 2020

@@jack_edwards looks like you did something useful in 2020☺☺

Well said😌

Couldn’t agree with you more. I love music and last year my husband kept saying “what do you know about BTS, they get a billion impressions every time they post anything”. I started on the path to discover them and their music. They are brilliant, handsome men, especially Namjoon. They are grateful to their families and fans, respectful of women, and thoughtfully address issues of loneliness, stress, and growing up. Besides being accomplished musicians and dancers, they are athletes, producers, cooks and comedians. Very inspiring!

Or he can be his own boss someday and maybe he can write his own book! :)

I respect that you actually took the time to write this and tell us that you basically found your judgedment in the beginning unfair as you later found out that they had more to offer than by just looking at the surface and instead take sometime to do some research first. Really love this, more people should do it so thank you

To be fair, they've come a long way since debut. We are all suprised they got any attention back then, they tried really hard to go the hip-hop route and weren't really true to themselves yet. But they evolved so much as artists and have the freedom to be themselves now.

Thats my fav song and i had no idea it was about ferry incident, i though it was about losing friends and wanting to die and be reunited, wait- oh
