So much has been happening recently so I thought to create a shitpost in order to summarise the major events of the past month or so for those who are too employed to read everything.
With all the jp case going around I have yet to see any notable creator of our country speaking about it, I remember people calling this 'influencer' out during the lzmss bully incident on how they only speak up when it s trend and they felt called out shifting the narrative yet here we are today and all this influencer suddenly lost access to social media 🤷

Online harassment allegations raise concerns over children’s safety on social media
As more young people spend their time on social media, so too have concerns grown about their safety online- about who can reach them and how. A recent case has brought those concerns into focus once again. A TikTok post alleging that a 28-year-old man sent inappropriate messages to several teenage girls has gone viral online. The post alleges that the man repeatedly tried to contact them through various social media platforms despite knowing they were minors.
Since the allegations against the man went viral, several young women and girls, as young as 15, have come forward, saying they experienced unwanted messages from the same man.
The man allegedly followed the girls and women from multiple account names, like “Bubble” and “JP”, and eventually asked them to meet.
BBS spoke to some of them who requested anonymity.
“He would send me messages about my body, things I had never even thought about myself. He would comment on my body and tell me how he wanted to touch me. I still remember him saying that when I became an adult, if he ever saw me at a Space Party, which he said he frequently attended, he would take me to a room and make it an unforgettable night for me,” said one teenager.
“I was 15 when he first approached me. At first, his messages were simple: ‘hi,’ ‘hello,’ and ‘how are you doing?’ He started complimenting me on every video I posted. He would repeatedly follow me from different accounts, including Bubble and JP. Somehow, he also found my Instagram account and repeatedly followed me there and sent me message requests. After a couple of months, his messages started to change. He began asking if I wanted to go for a drink or go on a drive with him,” added another.
BBS also spoke to the man at the centre of the allegations. He acknowledged communicating with the girls but denied intending to meet them or engage in sexual activity.
The Information, Communications and Media Act of Bhutan 2018 criminalises harassment through information and communication technology systems. Section 426 classifies online harassment as a petty misdemeanour punishable by one month to less than one year.
The Act also contains provisions aimed at protecting children from harmful media content and gives relevant authorities powers to investigate and preserve electronic evidence in suspected offences.
Bhutan InfoComm and Media Authority, BICMA, can receive complaints and take regulatory action in matters within its mandate. However, the authority said it has not yet received the case.
Meanwhile, a lawyer told BBS that whether the alleged conduct in this case amounts to an offence will depend on the evidence the relevant authorities gather. If the matter proceeds to court, the court will determine the facts and whether any law was broken.
The matter is now with the police. The original post detailing the allegations has since been removed and replaced with a link to a document containing further details of the allegations.
While responsible use of social media platforms depends on the person engaging in them, experts advise using blocking and reporting functions that various platforms provide to ensure unwarranted online experience. Likewise, parents, guardians and schools are encouraged to discuss online safety regularly.
Children experiencing online harassment or other forms of distress can also contact The PEMA through its helpline at 1098.

Hello, I’m bit confused how to get my passport certified. I looked up on google, it says a lot things. I even went to the G2C website and weirdly it’s missing the last step where I can attach my documents.
Meanwhile, my cousin said she just went to the OAG and got it certified directly from there.
Should I just go there?
Apparently, being an “influencer” now means insulting people, creating drama, talking nonsense and then acting like you’re an international superstar. And the hypocrisy? Olympic level. Preach about culture and morality today, drag someone’s personal life tomorrow. 🤡
Then we have the endless cheap singing competitions, recycled drama and the same faces getting treated like celebrities. Seriously, what are we watching? Pema Bhutan, Druk Dorji, Rangkalang, karma kelvin, sunshine, kachu and many many more, is this really the best entertainment we have to offer?Bhutan has incredibly talented people, yet somehow nonsense gets the views, drama gets the fame, and stupidity gets a fan club. Some “content” is literally just two people having what looks like a private video call… except thousands of people are watching. 🤦♂️
Maybe the problem isn’t the influencers.
Maybe it’s us for making them famous.
I had this interview moment that still makes me laugh. The panel asked me, “Where do you see yourself in five years?” I gave the usual serious answer, saying that I see myself growing personally and professionally, upgrading my skills and continuing to learn. Before I could even finish, one of the panel members looked at me and said, “In Australia?”
I just stared blankly for a few seconds. Then they looked at each other and laughed. The way it was said felt less like a question and more like a taunt, especially in the Bhutanese context where “Australia” has almost become the automatic answer to where young people see themselves in the future.
And honestly, my thought at that moment was, if Australia was already the plan, why would I be sitting there sweating through an interview trying to convince you to hire me? I came prepared to talk about my career goals, not defend a five-year migration plan. Somehow one simple interview question turned into an Australia discussion before I could even finish my answer.

I came across a post where a mother was telling her young daughter to eat less because she was getting a little fat and honestly, it bothered me.
I understand that parents should teach their children healthy eating habits, and if there is a genuine health concern, it should be addressed. But telling a young child that she needs to eat less because of her body size seems like a terrible way to approach it.
Children are still growing, and constantly hearing that their body is “too big” can make them associate food with guilt and their appearance with their self worth. There’s a difference between teaching healthy habits and making a child feel ashamed of eating.
If a child genuinely needs help with their weight, shouldn’t that conversation be handled privately and appropriately, preferably with guidance from a doctor, rather than making the child feel bad about their body?
What do you guys think? Am I overreacting, or is this something parents should be more careful about?
Any visa grants this days ?
Wanted to know if I should lodge my visa or wait a few years la …
And is the condition improving nowadays or still the same ??………………………………….
Genuine question: why does every 16–17-year-old footballer’s Instagram look like they’ve already won the World Cup? 😭 One decent touch, one goal, and suddenly there are 47 highlight videos, professional-looking edits, and captions like they’re destined for Europe.
Then they travel for tournaments, come back with a 0–19 goal difference, and somehow the Instagram highlights are still undefeated 💀
I’m not saying nobody here can play. Obviously there are talented young players. But sometimes it feels like the social-media footballer is more common than the actual footballer. Training, improving, and playing consistently should matter more than posting thirst traps, club photos, and the same three football clips every week
And honestly, the girls’ teams deserve credit too. They’re out there actually competing, winning, putting in the work. Meanwhile some of these boys post one decent football clip and act like they’ve already been signed by Real Madrid
Hey MOD i guess? You just proved my point ahahaha. You say "no gossip about real people," but then list multiple exceptions where you allowed it; Dedrik, Passu, Pema Wangchuk, even a school principal. So the rule isn't a rule, it's your personal judgment call.
Seems like the rule only applies when it's about certain people, especially the ones with money and power!!!! Where's the consistency?
Other country subs manage to handle public interest discussions without this level of control. So I'll ask plainly: WHAT’s THE POINT OF THIS COMMUNITY if we can't talk and expose elite monsters too?
Selective enforcement isn't moderation; it's CENSORSHIP. Either apply the rule equally, or admit it's about protecting certain names.
Are MODs gonna delete this thread too before more people see it? I’m curious again. Let’s see
Two possible reasons why eight PDP candidates defected in the Speaker’s vote. Either they were unhappy with the PM’s high-handed decisions and the complete disregard for MPs, or they genuinely believed Tempa from BTP was the better candidate. Or perhaps both factors played a role.
#Breaking #NASpeakerElection2026
PDP having double the members of parliament in National Assembly and losing the speaker to opposition is serious loss of faith in PM TT not only from general public but also within the MP of PDP. It’s time for TT to step down and give chance to younger capable candidates.
Hii everyone I wanted to share about a bad customer service experience I had today.
So I noticed that more than Nu.2000 was deducted from my bob account without me making any sort of transaction. Mind you I have no loan to pay off as well so I don't know why it was deducted. I don't think it is a maintenance fee as Nu.2000 is bit too much. The annoying thing is when I tried to call the Customer service and told them (her) about this, she was being so rude to me. Basically my mom talked to her first and she addressed her as madam and since my mom didn't know my acc number, I started to talk with her instead.
She got so angry and annoyed that we were switching the phone. I admit it's my fault as well but the way she was talking to me and kind of scolding me felt a bit too much. Her tone was so rude and when I tried asking for help regarding the transaction, she acted like she is going above above beyond for me which I don't think is the case as she works in customer service like it's literally her only job. After all that, she was of no help as she said she will check and let me know but I never got any update. Anyone who experienced this , please let me know what I should do. Should I try calling again and hope that the person picking up won't be like her and will actually try to help me?
I wish our customer service was a bit better. Thanks.
Thank you so much for your overwhelming support. The situation is more horrifying and disgusting than initially perceived.
Be angry, disturb the comfort. Safety is the enemy of progress.
Viva la revolution, together we will change the society that allows and enables such people to be okay.
This is my first trip to Bhutan and I am flabbergasted by how gorgeous this country is and how relatively understated it markets itself!
I’ve been hiking around and people I meet everywhere are polite to a fault, there is no honking on the streets, cows and dogs share the road, cats too! Everyone seems relatively happy. Thimpu looks like a huge urban sprawl but minus the traffic and hubub for a city its size.
The whole country everywhere I go looks like someone drew a postcard and breathed it into life. Seriously you people have an amazing thing going here. Treasure it, preserve it! And congrats on being what looks like the last slice of paradise.
Guys, can y’all suggest which consultancy I should book my PTE through? I’m so stuck at this point 😭 .
There are so many consultancies and I genuinely don’t know which one to choose. If you’ve recently taken your PTE or booked through a consultancy, please share your experience and let me know which one you’d recommend. I’d really appreciate your suggestions, especially if they have good guidance, reliable services, and reasonable fees. I’m trying to make the right decision and would love to hear from people who have already gone through the process. Please help me out, guys! 😭🙏
Kuensolanin on ig is looking for evidence! I suggest anyone who has received any malicious sexual texts from this animal or has had any experience with Mr. Bubbles here, speak up.
Just when people found a way to buy toyota vehicles on a reasonable rate, this greedy and jealous company decided to step in and stop people from saving their money.
I swear people need to stop buying from stcbl and buy from other sources which we now know that it exists. I am super glad i got mine from siliguri before this panic post. Citizens really need to wake up and boycott this company as there are cheaper ways to spend your hard earned money and buy quality cars.
Conjuuse, dictator based company jedha.
UPDATE: now stcbl has blocked the indian showrooms from selling their cars to bhutanese. 3 of friends have called them and they said they were told not to sell anymore to bhutanese unless authorized.
#boycottSTCBL
