“It was rude and troublesome. I’m disappointed in our fandom. Let’s just acknowledge we were wrong and reflect.” 

“Couldn’t those Wannables and ARMY who were there assess the situation?” 

“I didn’t upload this to receive an apology, I just want to say I wish all of you had been respectful to the person who passed away and the person giving their acceptance speech.”
