Many of the replies, which came from male sports’ fans, were ripe with toxic masculinity, racism, and other negativity that demonstrated a grievous lack of respect for Suga.
In response, ARMY enlightened these netizens about Suga’s identity, talent, popularity, net worth, and more. They also called out the netizens’ “fragile masculinity” and proved that BTS (and ARMY) are a force to be reckoned with.
One fan pointed out that ignorance is no excuse for spreading hate. While it’s understandable that many sports fans would not know who BTS is, respect should be shown regardless.
As always, ARMYs’ remain BTS’s loyal and loving supporters, no matter what the haters say.
