#BTSARMY Weapons: Beating An Industry At Its Own Game, Part III

https://twitter.com/odettemarch/status/1449525571516575748

Hi! 👋🏾 Welcome to the third and final part of my "BTS ARMY Weapons" thread series.

If you haven't read the first two parts, you can check them out below:

PART I:

PART II:

The "secret" weapon to ARMY is something that may or may not seem obvious depending on how long you've been with the fandom and, most importantly, how much you actively paid attention to the NATURE of our fandom evolution over the years.

ODIE'S LIBRARY: *open*

Lemme read really quick...

As I said, I think so little of this so-called fandom that people pulling stunts like this, involving an actual INFANT, does not surprise me.

I felt disgusted, but I was not surprised, because any fandom that prided itself on "black oceans" is inherently scum.

If you don't know what that is, it's when a crowd turns off their light sticks so that when a group or artist performs, they look out on a sea of darkness.

It is hurtful and demoralizing and entirely on purpose.

THAT is their legacy: toxicity and harm.

MOUTHFUL INCOMING! Breaking Down The Delusion Causing Certain Companies & Fans To Overestimate Their Ability To Match BTS & ARMY's Past & Current Successes

(An Impromptu Thread)

INTRODUCTION

I didn't expect to do a deep dive into the media play fraudulence, annoying entitlement, and plain old delusion causing people to vastly overestimate their chances of replicating what BTS and ARMY worked together to achieve.

Yet, here I am.

I would have addressed it sooner, but I was on a break. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Now that I'm back, I have a few thoughts/theories as to why there is this wave of delulu washing up on our shores, and why it will likely not morph into anything meaningful any time soon.

The struggle people are having isn’t with BTS singing or rapping in English; it’s that they’re *succeeding* in English.

It erases the delusion of BTS as a temporary novelty act or foreign fetish, and people are mad.😊

#itsnotmybusinessbut

Can the hacks who write terrible articles about BTS and ARMY for these magazines and websites @ me their editors?

I would love to be bad at my job and still somehow get paid in this economy! 👋🏾

#itsnotmybusinessbut

I find it funny that some people think you can be “too old” to stan BTS, a group that references Jungian Psychology, sociopolitical issues such as class warfare, and non-linear time.

Ageist gatekeeping of BTS is tacky. Go have a seat. 💺

QUICK DISCLAIMER

I don't know what the Twitter algorithm would think of my original title so I tweaked it a little. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Okay, back to the thread!

INTRODUCTION
When we say we're the music industry, I think we're half-joking.

I mean, I can't think of any OTHER fandom that has kept their foot pressed so tightly to the industry's throat, that Billy Board bothered our faves under the pretense of a cover story to cry about it.

At the Intersection of Racism and Misogyny Sits a Paralyzing Fear of BTS - Here's Why

[By Thread Poll Request]

INTRODUCTION
BTS has long since transcended their music superstar status. They’re not just very talented and hardworking artists, but they also encourage and inspire an entire generation, and that power cannot be taken for granted.

BTS wield an immense amount of public influence while also representing a massive generational shift in how young men are expected to behave towards each other and how male celebrities in their position view and treat their female fans.
