I dont think so nah for me sorry jody . Theres going to be a lot of contradictions thats going to be happen . I RESPECT in free speech too but for me i dont want to hear any thing disrespecting comments about my bangtan so its a no peace ! Thats only my opinion

Zaria Weber

I mean I don’t mind but I just want her to be respectful. Like I understand that she’s not a fan of them and that’s fine but don’t go out your way to make assumptions about somebody’s sexuality when that person hasn’t even disclosed that information. It’s like you can still be respectful to the artist and not be a fan of them. Idk if that made sense or anything but yeah. That’s the only thing that really irritated me. But I don’t really care if she comes on

౨ৎ gabi

to be honest, i'm totally open to hearing why she dislikes bts now, but as far as her being included into the bts reactions with you (jody), eman, and the other people you add sometimes... no thank you. she was just extremely disrespectful as far as i can remember on that youtube video for no good reason at all. it doesn't help that she stans a whole different group now.. it just comes off as her becoming a fan of someone else and harboring jealousy and hate towards bts because they're bigger than the group she now stans.. at least that's how i saw it then and how i still feel now.

౨ৎ gabi

totallyyyy agree with you

April Forgue

Interesting that someone says they were Army but now does not like BTS I would be curious why. I have tried to listen to other groups but I might like one or two songs here and there but I can't say I am a kpop fan. I am just a fan of BTS.

Black Compat

I really appreciate you asking for our input on this Jody. I am all for discourse and differing opinions when they have some basis in fact, but I really can't get with the disrespect, misgendering, and what came across to me as just mean commentary she brought to the space. It's not what brought me to this community and it's not the content I want to financially support.

Kimberley

Its a no from me also, my thing is if you don't like BTS or you gravitate to another group that's fine im not a toxic ARMY but, there's no reason to be disrespectful or nasty. I appreciate your reactions Jody, I know you genuinely love and appreciate the guys of BTS.

Chia Sano

As someone who has been in this Kpop stuff for a while, it would really depend on WHY she likes Kpop. If she is about Stan Culture, then her views about BTS will be negative if she considers herself 'no longer ARMY'. I have met several people like this and it is mainly because they aren't really invested in the men themselves (the members of BTS), only the entertainment they provide so it is easy for them to move on. They see kpop group members as Idols only, not people who are called Idols. My only concern is how she'll handle the questions, fanwar culture in Kpop is...is a rough world.

Fifi

Ok so personally…wow this is a tough one. Now I like NCT, my favourite subunit of theirs is NCT Dream. One of my closest friends is also an NCTzen (but I’m not, I just like a couple members and a good bit of their discography) so I’m not saying this as someone who has anything against people who like different groups lol, most of my kpop friends aren’t all ARMY or just ARMY. The thing is, I personally don’t really care much for an “ex-Army” especially those who seem to come off bitter towards BTS. Especially ones who make comments like “ I don’t see why BTS is more popular than so and so group” which I believe is what she said that last time when she said something controversial. I personally see no point in paying on here and having someone who claims they used to be an ARMY being on here and telling me reasons why they don’t like them anymore or how they don’t understand the hype around them. Like great good for you if you found something else you feel is worth more your time, I just personally would not want to sit here and listen to it knowing that I am paying for your patreon. You guys have come so far from some of your prejudice remarks which is really cool to see and I’m glad I was able to watch your journey, so watching someone who will be doing the opposite seems like a waste of time and money. And while I value people having their own opinions, (because again I really do, and I really do not care who she likes to listen to especially since i actively also listen to other groups) I am here to see YOU guys (JODY and E-man) and others you have on that are open to wanting to know BTS. I am definitely open to see you guys react to songs of other groups cause you guys do that already (maybe u can put that on YouTube 💀, well unless she makes negative towards BTS in a video abt NCT…then maybe you don’t want that on there, but idk if I would one that on here either lol) Anyways that’s all. My opinion, I don’t particularly care to have her on here telling us why she doesn’t like BTS anymore. But of course the choice will ultimately be on what the majority wants. Also I mean if she’s super respectful on how she says it, then I might be open to hearing her opinion. I just find that most Ex-army don’t seem to be respectful towards BTS anymore.

Zenabu

It's gonna be a nah for me, I love a good discussion but I just know the comments will be a nonstop argument and even more toxicity instead of people just vibing with the reactions 😂 We might lose the plot

Shakazia Parson

I would have to say no. The disrespect was uncalled for and this is coming for a multistan fan of kpop. It's ok to like more than one group or even move on from a certain group to another. Though that level of disrespect was so uncalled for and just straight up being nasty.

Fifi

Do you happen to remember what video it was that she was really disrespectful on? I remember watching it but I don’t remember what video it is anymore

Fifi

Do you happen to remember what video she said those remarks on? I remember watching it but now I don’t remember what exactly reaction video that was anymore

Zaria Weber

It was the introduction to Jimin video

Zaria Weber

I think it was three hours long

Aicha Karamoko

it's a big no for me, if she doesn't like bts it's ok, I like them so. 😁

Linda C.

It’s your show Jody, but to be honest, I’ve heard her argument before, many different ways from fandoms much harsher than Army (if you can believe it). I can appreciate someone not liking the music but being nasty about it isn’t clever or entertaining and I’ll say right here, keeping it a buck, I’m one of “the fat white women” she so freely insulted. For my self care, I don’t reward that by being a captive audience. I just go my own way without engaging. I love you guys, but I would skip that episode without a second thought. Those are not possible future fans, they never were and I don’t have any desire to get to know them better. Luv you tho.

☾Joey

I mean if you think she can have a respectful conversation about bts then okay lmao have her on. But from what I remember, her comments on disliking bts were tasteless and just… spiteful. If she’s one of those people who stopped supporting bts because they “changed” or are now “too westernized” then I honestly don't gaf about what she has to say. Heard the same shit before over and over and its tiresome. If that's her stance, then she never actually liked bts. She just liked stanning a small group and feeling like she's in a niche.

C

No, disrespectful af about bts last time and those insults don’t just go away , it’s fine not to like bts but to be straight up negative towards them…no thanks , it’s your Chanel but that kind negative energy is not wanted around here when all we want if for you two guys to progress in learning about the boys and to have someone like that join us definitely is not something I personally want to be financially supporting

Zenabu

Its all love tho, she seems cool! I actually resonate with some of the stuff yall talked about with her before about the industry but I just feel like since she already used to be a BTS fan, she'll probably be familiar with the content you guys are watching and it won't add much to the videos. That's just my opinion though, I'll tune in either way! I actually used to be an NCT fan and then became a BTS fan (along with other groups), so I'm not the type to tweak out over that part 😂 But I think the charm of this channel is how yall are new to this whole KPOP scene so all the opinions are coming from an open-mind 💯

C

It was Introduction to park jimin video

Deleah Smith

It's hard to believe she was once a BTS fan and have the level of disrespect she had. It's one thing to have issue with some Fandom behavior all groups have a few toxic fans not just BTS , but the boys have always been consistent in their content and who they are and what they stand for she displayed the opposite. She being an ex ARMY if she really was should not have been that disrespectful to BTS or anyone who hasn't personally done anything to her. That leads me to believe she wasn't a fan. Many ppl that leave, have had encounters with toxic Fandom and not BTS themselves but to dis BTS is crossing the line. What could a group do to someone they have never met. How could someone be a fan and don't understand why their so big and hype. Calling them out their name my blood boiled. That right there tell me you weren't a fan or ARMY. We are protective of the boys and any disrespect isn't going to go well.

౨ৎ gabi

hey, it was the 'jimin introduction' video love!!

Fifi

On a more positive note…JIN IS GONNA BE BACK IN 22 DAYSSSSS🎉🎉🎉🎉🥳💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Tasha C.

I 100% agree. I’m a multi too, but there is absolutely no reason to be disrespectful and rude. You do what you want Jody but, please put a trigger warning on any vids with her. I’ll politely pass. We don’t get lots of BTS content here anyway so wouldn’t want to waste any of it on somebody bad mouthing my sons.

Kimberley

Hell yeah he is lol

౨ৎ gabi

WHOOOOOOOP WHOOOOOOP 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽🥳

Fifi

Thank uu

Fifi

Thank you both :)

C

Just had to get straight to the point 😌

Xoxoree

Me personally I want to hear what she has to say, I believe in freedom of speech and that everyone can have their own opinion. However I also don’t know what she said in the first place. I feel like you can like a group more than another but don’t disrespect them. But I want to know what made y’all uncomfortable

Jaxyn

It’s also a no for me. She came off so disrespectful and it was uncalled for. I pay to see you and E-man on your BTS journey. I also enjoy you introducing some of your other friends to BTS.

C

Watch the park jimin introduction video , it’s somewhere in there

Kia Lee Hawkins

I would like to see her on the channel and hear her thoughts and opinions on the boys. I want to know, like you said Jody, how she became Army and why she is not anymore. I think it should be a discussion format not a video reaction :)

Jungkook💜

I’m sooo excited i probably won’t sleep the night that he comes home cause if he goes on live I don’t wanna miss it cause I missed mostly jungkook and jimins solo lives when they left and the one they did all 4 of them cause I was sleeping and I ain’t missing jins live 🎉🎉🎉

Linda C.

Thank you Luna. That kind of stuff doesn’t really stick with me, especially if it’s a mean stranger but if I was younger it might, and I’d rather be fat than mean :) She must have a lot of deep anger that she needs to let out, because mentally healthy, mature, self respecting people don’t talk like that. If you are going to be insulting, do it with humor at least. Thank you sweetie 💕

JJK_OT72025

Now thats what im waiting and excited for 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥂🎉

Linda C.

I listen to Stray Kids occasionally, and a friend here at work said that Bts is too mainstream now and I said, actually, not many of their many songs are, but it’s ok, you’ll get there too. Then SK drops that English song with Charlie Puth and I was like congrats, prepare to defend mainstream and she said, ya, I get it now. SK fans are so much nicer than most of the other fandoms and I appreciate it. Exo fans are the worst.

Tasha C.

Now we talking!!!!! Yes!! This!!! I can’t wait for the world to be right again💜

Ariane Guimarães

It’s your patreon, you can do whatever you want. I will be skipping the videos tho. I heard enough from the park Jimin video. I don’t think she was ever ARMY to begin with, many antis say this to hate on BTS. Somethings she said in that video we’re not true and sounded very much like the fake news other fandoms spread about BTS. Not trying to be disrespectful to NCT, because I’m pretty sure they are very talented, but if you start with BTS you can become a multi Stan, but stop supporting BTS and go to another fandom, I’ve never heard of lol

xavier

Yes bring her on this is healthy dialogue. Everyone has an opinion let her have hers

Zenabu

Also a long but fun fact about why I (and many others) went from other kpop groups like NCT to BTS; We know that kpop is obviously capitalist and has a manufactured aspect to it, but with newer boy groups like NCT with like 500 members that get paid $2 a year, I just couldn't. It feels like a sick cash grab with the music being an after-thought. I'm a big rap fan and what turns me off from so many kpop groups is the unnecessary rappers that were forced to rap by their company cause they weren't good enough to be singers, but were more good-looking than the other actually talented trainees so the company just threw them in the group. And that may sound personal but believe me when I say this is such a commonly known industry tactic, even members of the BTS rapline have constantly called this out in their music (wait till you check out more of the raplines solo work, they are 100% UNFILTERED there) To go from that, to a group like BTS where their literal foundation is hip-hop and the members having the most utmost respect for the culture while ACTUALLY being talented, its a little hard to take the rest of kpop seriously. Everything else just felt too gimmicky for me, what are yall even doing 😂 Rm himself has 218 songs under his name, while fans of other groups like nct make it sound like a huge achievement when they find out a member had even the slightest participation in the writing of one of their songs. I don't even get surprised when I see RM or SUGA in the credits of a song, because that's the norm for them. You can't be a rapper and not write your own lyrics. They aren't just rapping whatever some American producer is telling them to, they're rapping their soul, from way before their career even started. That's why I became a BTS fan (I love the vocal line too) and respectfully think that no other group can compare to them 🙏

Linda C.

Ya, your style changes but you move on without burning that bridge.

Lief

You're so cute Jody, you know, you're much more open and positive than most people. I think saying "No" is inapproprate, bc it's an interesting conversation for you and Eman. I do understand why other comments said "No", because we've had lots of these conversations online with ex-army's and resulted in nothing. There's this weird complex where ex-armys think they're better and more qualified to speak on bts , and also armys think they're better and more qualified to speak on bts. So if that's the approach, then I can tell you it will end in conflict. But maybe if we are open to hear her story, and she is aware that it's a conversation she's having with an army community.... in that case, then yes it could go well and be interesting to see.

Lief

So in my opinion it's all good if she feels comfortable and feels welcome and respect this community.

Galiaa

If our opinion matters to you. No i am sorry we don't want any negative energy in our community . I love a lot of groups other then BTS , but BTS is different they really come to my life when I was so down so I don't like any one who disrespect them or hate them just bcs they the most popular groups and successful one!! alot of haters hate them just like her and she trying to show you how bad bts is and nct is better 😂. She can just suggest some nct song to you instead of mentioning bts and talking shvt about them. I can tell she wasn’t even an army cuz no way she will talk about them like this and don’t tell me she is a comedian cuz IDGF!!

Lief

Everyone putting their ego's aside and nobody disrespecting nobody will be hard hahahhah (Both for her and for us here)

Ana Paula

I think it's your channel and you have the freedom to bring whoever you want. It is a person's free will to not like something, but education and respect are necessary even when something is not to their liking.💜🇧🇷

.

Imma say no. Even if she had something positive to say I feel like it would come off as disingenuous. Isn’t she the one that basically undermined bts talent, called them twinks, and said armys were ugly fat white women? She made so many comments that fans of other groups make about bts for no reason other than pure jealousy so nahhhhh I’ll pass on that one Jody😭

Cherish Poole

personally, no. From an entertainment standpoint i’m just not interested in that

Xoxoree

As I just listened to her section she did say some wild shit and it just reminds me that other fandoms hate bts just because they don’t have anything better to do😂 but It is what it is, I say give her a trial run and see what happens. Keeping it real and disrespect is 2 different things. Cause I always say at the end of the day we’re all humans and that includes them and all celebrities/idols and whatnot. Treat people how you want to be treated, unless they are the scum of the earth like hitler nem 😂

Galiaa

Like what u said, it is possible that you hate the fandoms, but that does not mean you can talk shvt about the group bcs of some toxic fans. We, as ARMYs, accept criticism, not hatred. There is a difference between hatred and honesty, and she was a hater. This is also why you see Armys being so defensive and aggressive with any criticism, because we saw a lot of hatred towards BTS for no reason.

Bts army

I just don’t even understand why would somebody want her , would you sit here hearing somebody talking shit about you loves one ( exemple your mom) in the name of freedom. And please don’t even call me a toxic army . I respect somebody who says «  oh , I just don’t like x and z music anymore, for this or that reason » . But a femele who says she one day loved them but now they a the worst shit on earth, no thank you . By the way I see what she is trying to do , she probably liked bts when they were broke and unknown , the she discovered other groups that she likes more , and then bts started to be too much famous and her group still on the K-pop niche . That why she is mad . If I liked something or someone one day , and after dislike them I wouldn’t be calling the all sorts of things, instead I would just bring facts in a respecting way

Amanda Michelle

It's a big NO for me. The moment she said "BTS are basic" I knew she didn't actually GET the boys or their music. If you end up having her on, please insist that she be respectful...because her first impression was seriously offensive, sorry to say.

Bts army

And Jody I really appreciate your reaction , if y’all say something that I desagree I don’t even care because I like that everybody has their own opinion, and that the beauty of a genuine reaction , and because you guys are respectful . If you don’t like something you just say « nah , I don’t like this » and that totally ok , and we appreciate. But just straight up hate N.O

Amanda Michelle

I also worry that Jody might be negatively influenced by her negativity toward BTS, tbh. I know he already loves the boys but it's still early in his journey, especially on the music side, and I feel like he needs to dive much deeper into the music so that he has a solid foundation to stand on, before opening his ears to haters. Just my opinion.

Bts army

Always Army are toxic this and that, evry big fandom has toxic people: the swiftys, arianators, barbs , beehive , selenators, and more , those are all fandoms who are known to be « toxic» . why when when the majority are kind ?? Answer : because the bigger who are the more chance you have to be loved by toxic people and those minorities are very loud. And when did people stopped loving those people because their fandom are toxic ? That’s the biggest wtf reason to stop listening to somone song , are you fan of their music , or you just love the feeling of being part of a « community » . Just say « I am greedy because BTS are may to much famous and they are shadowing my favs , they don’t deserve, it should have been my favs »🥺

Amanda Michelle

Jody, I hope you'll eventually start to differentiate between toxic ARMY (who are MUCH FEWER than ARMY at large and who we don't even consider as ARMY at all) so that you can realize that YOU ARE ARMY...you ARE a fan of BTS and you've shown so much love and respect on your journey so far, that I definitely consider you as one of us...TRUE ARMIES. :)

Nessbts10813

NO.!!!!!! I just watched that reaction. We come here or should I say we pay to come here to hear uplifting and enjoy your reactions . See you and your peeps enjoy the music and the personalities of BTS Family. There's enough BS going on that is surroundiung BTS that we shouldn't have to listen to someone be disrespectful to get a laugh. BTW I'm a beautiful black American woman that loves BTS and is greatful that they and I QUOTE "brought them over here for the fat white american woman" NOT MY WORDS BUT YOUR FRIENDS (SARCASM AT IT'S FINEST) . It is your channel you have the right to have whomever you want on it. I too belive in free speach it will be free speach that I will chose not to be apart of. Borahae 💜

Zack Clarke

I already know the comments where gonna go off when he brought Tina up like AK 47 in here lol

K

omg please don’t

K

Respectfully I just don’t see the point,especially the way she was talking about them. Y’all can react but don’t react to bts stuff it’s no point she already said how she feels about them so it’s a waste of time and money on our hand.

Jessica

It's your channel so do whatever is it that u want to do but try speaking to her about the way she speaks of them if she can be less of a hater It's okay to express ur opinion but sometimes it's not an opinion but just hate

Keyz J.

I say no, respectfully....what would be the point??

Bernadett

She said WHATTT?! Linda, I'm sorry. I must have skipped that bs, I don't remember it, but I'm not interested in someone like that at all. I hope you didn't take it to heart. That's plain mean to say and she can go eff herself. -insert Jin's voice- You know? ❤️💜

Linda C.

I love it in Jin’s voice, you know! ❤️

Linda C.

She was just jealous that they are able to bring that money in from the US. Most of us were spending it before they did English songs. International fans, and the US were supporting them way before they had any mainstream “basic” stuff. Maybe her favorites will go global and then she can shun them too, cuz she’s too cool for that 🤣

Amaricymon'e

She was a hater and very rude what made her speak on Jimins sexual preference when he doesn't even speak on it?

Amaricymon'e

But will the conversation be healthy I agree with debating with facts and not just biased opinions no matter if it's hate or love for the boys

Simo

Look at all these grown ups acting like it's their god given duty to be offended and defend a band half a world away who doesn't care about them. It will never cease to amaze me. Lmao Jody this Patreon took a heavy turn and ejected me out of the car.

.

Well bts do care about their fans, that’s why there are so many crazies. Obviously ppl are gonna be offended over her talking shit about bts for no reason. Jody asked our opinion and majority say no, you act like we just in the comments being hateful or sum. We’re here for him and eman not bitter fans of other groups👎🏾

zzzuzi_the_hedgehog

I unsubscribe if anyone is disrespectful towards BTS on this channel. Sometimes people say things that are unacceptable because "it's their opinion" or "just for fun".

zzzuzi_the_hedgehog

We are here for love and support not for toxic people like her.

Simo

you are not in the comments being hateful, quite the contrary. It looks like you're all acting like soldiers guarding a royal family who didn't ask you to. What does it matter if someone disrespects a singer online? It's just very odd to me that grown ups would get this upset about something so trivial. Anyway enjoy it!

peachmin88

it doesn't matter if you have an opposing view of bts but it needs to come from a place of respect at least.. which tina lacks...in my opinion.

Jodys Corner

I appreciate the dialogue is all. Ive never asked her personally either why she feels that way towards bts or army, so it would have been a intense coversation for me AND the patrons. But i get full well why they dont want her on. I understand.

.

Ppl are just giving their answer on something he asked us about. Idk how that’s being “upset” but ok! We simply don’t want that negativity in his reactions.

Lief

Ofcourse, you're one of us Jody hahahah. And we all know E-man's one of us too, we can call him sergeant if that sounds better lol.

Lief

You've seen our input, try to feel the air on her side and then do what feels good to you! 🤍 I'll watch the video Jody hahah, but you know we'll be responding

Simo

Luna LMFAO ! Thanks for the laugh tonight I needed it. Always a pleasure to trigger someone's followers. Please do tell me more about how much they love you and they want you to stay, obviously not for money reasons. I'm really looking forward to your next essay Luna. @Jody you're playing 3D chess with them. I like the hustle. lol

Bts army

You think you ate 🤣🤣🤣

Bts army

Ok mister ginuis would you paid to see hateful comments , if yes then I suggest you some therapy or whatever

Simo

Nope, keyboard guard isn't a job, you need to open Indeed. Also, I can't stop, you made this too much fun for me. My mind is BLOWN, you replied to my comment, but accused me of being triggered lol . you tell me to fuck off, nobody gives a fuck about my opinion, and that I am pathetic and sad, but I AM the asshole lol. you're lacking that same self awareness you said I have. I don't think your gods BTS would approve of a soldier like you. Be more disciplined.

Figgy

It’s a no from me too Jody, as you said everyone is entitled to free speech. But there is a difference between free speech and hate speech. The ‘free speech’ that Army have made on YouTube and on here has been seen by you as toxic and crazy and an ‘all Army do is hate on everything’ narrative in the past. If what Tina had said came out the mouth of an Army there would have been some serious condemnation towards the entire fandom. I hope that you can see that on Patreon we are showing you guys LOVE, it’s not the cheapest of Patreons, but we are all subbing anyways. It’s about time you asked yourself why Jody, I’m not going to give you the answer., you and Eman need to look inside yourselves for that. We don’t sub to Patreon just to watch content, if that was the case we’d go elsewhere and pay less. So what keeps us watching you? It is totally fair to have differences of opinion and to form ideas of your own. But there is nothing inherently wrong with BTS as a group or as people. It’s totally understandable that not everyone is going to like their music and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. But making statements like Tina did seem to have come from a place of hate and not just a difference of opinion. Also as for Army, I’d love for you to post something on YouTube and say something negative about BlackPink, StrayKidz or Exo etc. You may realise then that all fandoms have obsessed toxic fans, you’d be shot down just as quick as you did with BTS 😂 Keep doing what you are doing, keep ‘keeping it real’, don’t just try and appease people, but just try and keep an open mind and look for the beauty in everything rather than negativity. Life is short man, spend it filling yourself with as much love and true happiness that you can. Then send that love out to everyone around you. That is the message behind BTS and what I think should be a code for life in general. Also one last thing, the beautiful Linda embodies what Army truly are. There is a reason that you will find a massively diverse fan base, with an older generation of people in their 70’s and 80’s even. The grandparents who were introduced to BTS by their grandchildren and love them because of the message behind their music 💜✌️

Keyz J.

But she already "understands" that she no longer likes bts. Do we really need to understand why?

Keyz J.

I genuinely think that she was never truly Army ,judging by the way she spoke about them.

Melissa Torres

rekt bro? talkin to jody like if u the only sane one here LOL ....its always those BTS haters that dont understand why BTS is so famous so they go and attack the fans..no they dont know us personally but we are army and they know without army there is no BTS...at least u know who BTS Is LOL...as RM raps in Cypher pt 4------.You hate me but YOU KNOW ME You hate me but YOU KNOW ME I like hate comments more than no comments I don’t know you BUT YOU KNOW MY NAME

Linda C.

I have been a fan of many groups. Never have I been inspired to be a better person, until BTS. I’ve seen The Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Metallica, I can’t even count. I’ve been going to concerts and paying for music for 43 years. BTS does care about their fans, it feels authentic because of their actions and their words. Of course they are making money and we want them to. We are not mindlessly following. We watched them grow from nothing. We watched them deal with insults, and lies. Strangers going out of their way to name call. What kind of person takes the time to send a handwritten letter to a 16 yr old boy to tell them they are ugly and fat? Bullies. We have chosen them as our artists because they make us happy, and motivated and charitable. You have no idea how they give back, what they say. I can tell you think we are stupid, that’s fine. Some of us get triggered and respond in different ways. I think it’s because we came to Patreon for a safe space, and we are surprised that someone came here to tell us that we aren’t cared about. You also said that you enjoyed triggering us. Of course we will defend. It’s why we are here, it’s why we enjoy reaction channels.

chrisdy77

No thank you. Not interested

Xoxoree

Damn it got heated in here…..can’t we all just hit the dougie a little bit and calm down 😅😅

Ijjormaii

no. I'm not going to pay to see a disrespectful person on this channel. I understand this is your channel; do whatever you want, and yes, we do have freedom of speech, but that doesn't mean you have to be disrespectful about it like your friend. honestly, f*ck her, all I want is just you and e-man. Also, I recommend watching Boracity Magazine on youtube.

Simo

See Linda, I can appreciate your response since it's actually addressing my point without resorting to cheap insults and without cherry picking what you respond to. I still disagree, I think worshipping celebrities is insane regardless of how good they are to the fanbase. Our friend Luna here (Name is fitting) thinks Patreon is a "safe space" for her but anyone with a different opinion should be insulted. I'll take her up on it, let's check Patreon's guidelines and ban one of us based on those guidelines. I'm sure she won't like the result.

Meow

No thank you, like some other comments, I pay to see you and E-man on your BTS journey!

Lia

Since you don't really know BTS, ARMYs always say that BTS saved them a lot through their music. Save them from depression, self-loathing and suicide, shut your mouth. Of course, we will be in a defensive position because no one wants you to show your hatred towards them and belittle them under the pretext that it is an opinion. BTS always say they are here for us, so we are always here for them. Also, our relationship is bigger than money. Question? Do you use money to listen to people's hatred towards BTS and spread false information about them? Are you in your right mind?!!!

Xoxoree

Lmaoooo I just never seen anybody hit the dougie and not been instantly happier

Pls use nicer language, I don’t want her on here either but it’s comments like “f*ck her” that gets Army’s labeled as toxic and immature(among other things). Let’s be respectful even though she was the complete opposite of that 🥰💜

Simo

It's like debating the wind with these airheads :D. I couldn't give 2 entire shits about BTS or their fanbase, and I never insulted any of them and your "backlash" is a few hilarious comments on Patreon. I do know enough about you specifically though, you call yourself ARMY but you want a safe space on the internet and can't handle a disagreement, that's some army lmao. I like some of BTS songs but you specifically are a bitch made, weak, self absorbed, no logic, no common sense having, empty minded sheep. I say this and I take my leave. PS: I thought my comment on the name wasn't subtle, but even that was too much to handle wasn't it? Latin Late latin Old French Middle English Luna -> Lunaticus -> Lunatique -> Lunatic

You're right, I do apologize for using profanity, It's just seeing what BTS went through for years and even now, makes me defensive, and I like to choose wise and respectful reactors who actually see the best in BTS.

Jodys Corner

respect. especially with what you said in the end about love and life.

Jodys Corner

Thank you! I appreciate you for being real with me.

Fifi

Completely understand, I too want to say some not so respectful words towards her because of all the bs she said tbh

I’m sorry Simo, just take 2 minutes to google how many K-pop idol’s and other famous celebrities have taken their own life due to ‘someone disrespecting a singer online’. Words have consequence’s, surprisingly not just ‘grown ups’ are aware of that. So glad that triggering people has given you a laugh. Mind you, great point you made, so let’s look at the consequences of what you said!!! @Jody you’re playing 3D chess with them and the ‘obviously not for money reasons’ comment. So glad you have our backs Simo and pointed this out to all of us. Maybe now we will all pay extra attention, to see if this is the case and if so, we can all unsub and fuck off somewhere else House of cards

Simo

You know, this is the kind of response I wanted with my original comment, one that sparks genuine debate about the topic. Instead, I got a crazy idiot insulting me over and over with that childish passive aggression we used to do in junior high. And interestingly, none of you seemed to hold her accountable for her language, but you want to talk about the cyber bullying of celebrities right? As for Jody, I've been watching him since 2016 and what I can say about him is he watches only what he's genuinely interested in, but he's also smart enough to pick his battles. It's not worth picking a fight with toxic fanbases so you're not being played, he's just more patient than I am.

For me it depends. If she'll be open minded and respectful, even when she doesn't like something it's okay. She can be honest, but she also should be respectful. If she's coming on just to hate, then I don't think many of us will like that. The majority doesn't want to see her. I'd give her a chance, but ultimately it's up to you guys. This is still your channel and I'll respect that, but know that many Armys won't watch.

Linda C.

Well, a couple of clarifications. I worship no one. ARMY stands for Adorable Representative MC’s for Youth. Our job isn’t to fight as an army, more to protect and raise up. BTS encourages people to step up for youth when they get walked on. They have worked for years with Unicef to protect. As people have aged and grown the fandom has expanded to all ages, walks of life. Some of us are misfits, elderly, sick, in the hospital. Why would you enjoy doing this? All stages of life, mothers, sisters, spouses, AND MOST OF US ARE EMPLOYED OR IN SCHOOL. HOW DO THINK WE COULD AFFORD TO HELP BUILD A TINY LABEL AND GROUP INTO WHAT IT IS TODAY? Now, we are not here to make you like something you don’t. I think you are stepping up to defend Jody somehow, otherwise why would you join this conversation. Jody is a strong intelligent man and if we get too much for him, he will let us know. Now, I’m done.

Figgy

I didn’t think we were being played, I’d have left before now if I had. It was a rough start for Jody and Eman with BTS, but we’ve come a bit further into the journey now and they are both too likeable not to watch. My point there was that those comments you made could have consequences, not for us, but for Jody. Also your comment about ‘someone disrespecting a singer online’ . So yes cyber bullying of celebrities is not ok and there has been tragic results from that. Just wanted for you to stop and think about that. As for the rest of the debate, didn’t read any further down than there. I don’t really care what people think of me, but I do care about others and that is the only time I’d respond. Sorry if you’ve been hurt or disrespected, it’s not right for anyone to make someone feel shit. But there are always 2 sides to an argument and maybe you’ve also hurt and disrespected someone. Not ok for any of you. People do hold BTS to heart and as Linda said, they have really helped a lot of people who feel alone and are troubled. You might think we’re exaggerating, but hand on heart we’re not. It was the message behind their songs and then their gestures and kindness that they show to the world that drew me in. Being a Social Worker I spend my days dealing with helping others and I carry a lot of their troubles home with me. BTS is like a comfort blanket for me when I need one. Jody legit asked the question and we answered and gave reasons why. I honestly am not interested or will watch Tina, you probably aren’t aware of what comments she made, unless you watched that reaction. But they weren’t constructive, just random hateful statements. I just don’t want to watch someone be hateful or try and get a rise out of us. I just want to see people look for beauty and love in things before looking for negativity and then share that love with others, that’s my thought on the topic.

Linda C.

S-Please don’t take it to that level. I can guarantee nobody here wants to do that. Luna, please don’t respond again. Do not keep engaging.

Linda C.

Luna, don’t say anything else to him, it’s hard I know, but please don’t. We got your back. He already got your message and is now just trying to keep you going 😊

Simo

Finally some civilized talk. I do not listen to Kpop so I don't care enough to disrespect the artists, they're most likely amazing performers, and even good people. I'm addressing the fanbase, the people who take it too far, as far as bullying others for voicing their opinion. Linda, you might not worship BTS, but thousands do and I see how the toxic ones behave. Just look at what this thread used to be, she deleted her comments so I did the courtesy of removing mine. Cyber bullying celebrities isn't right of course, but let's keep it consistent and call it out when it happens on your side too.

Linda C.

I think going forward, if we have haters, (🤣😂) I am only going to respond with lyrics. Did you see my bag? Did you see my bag? It’s hella trophies and it’s hella thick What you think bout that? What you think bout that? I bet it got my haters hella sick . Let’s lighten up round here. 💜

VancityGal

I'm not condoning attacks but let's be real. You made that comment to try to get a rise out of the fans in here and then when you got it you acted like a victim. Jody can do what he wants with his channel but I don't get why you don't understand that we don't want to pay to hear childish, below the belt insults towards us and people we appreciate and respect (which is what she did). Why would I pay someone to bully me? Most of us just said Jody can do what he wants. Most of us have no problem with genuine and thoughtful critique, but we didn't come here for toxicity which you and Tina seem to enjoy perpetuating. Jody has put many people on the channel and we haven't liked every comment but she's the only one we all agree is not someone we want back. Anyways, players gonna play, haters gonna hate. Seems you need BTS more than you think.

Simo

Sure ok

Amaricymon'e

Maturing is realizing, You don't have to respond to every comment made "about you" 😶‍🌫️

Amaricymon'e

It's crazy how these two strangers who never met in life are going back and forth based off a simple yes or no question 😵‍💫

Amaricymon'e

Glad to see someone saying this did you see the other comments who were cursing eachother out...we should try to express ourselves with out being too vulgar and try to expand the vocabulary a bit better 😉

VancityGal

Perhaps you should look within a bit. Seems to me that you may be feeling insecure cuz these fans ride for BTS harder than any woman will ever ride for you with that attitude of yours.

Linda C.

I agree. Even if they have a mainstream song on their album, it doesn’t mean the whole album is like that, or that the one after will be more so there is still “old” Bts on every album. I think most of the people would change their mind if their band “makes it”, if they ever do.

Linda C.

Jeez. I hope I don’t mature anymore 😂. That guy thinks we missed his comment to Jody about him playing 3D chess. He thinks we are sheep and Jody is playing us. I personally don’t think Jody is that kind of guy, if I was wrong I’d be surprised, but also just gone. Someday I am going to put some thought into why we watch, and pay to watch reactions channels. If it’s really about turning on other people to Bts, why not mix other groups of similar genre into our playlists so the algorithm starts suggesting Bts songs to people who listen to those other groups? You know like all their ballads mixed with other ballads, and the same with hip hop etc. Does that make sense? I think it’s about the conversations we get to have with new fans. I’m not really sure. It’s kind of like trapping a new friend in your car and making them listen to Bts til they get it. Rambling, I can’t sleep 😴

Simo

That's some low quality bait if I've ever seen one

Hi Jody! I follow you guys on YouTube and despite a couple of small hiccups in the beginning, I genuinely like seeing you react to BTS and the growth you and Eman have gone through in the process of getting to know them. I also live in L.A. and consider hiphop and R&B my favorite music genres and can relate to many of the things you all have said so I decided to subscribe here just straight up for an entire year. I'm mildly curious about why your friend stopped liking BTS but then again, as longstanding ARMY we've kind of heard all those reason before, with complaints ranging from hating BTS English songs to not liking their popularity to solo fans pitting the members against each other. As a lover of music, I can't imagine all of a sudden hating one artist just so I can love another one. I'm not gonna stop loving Beyonce just because Rhianna came along. There's room to love everyone as long as long as the music is good so I don't understand the need for many kpop fans to hate on certain groups because you happen to like others.

Joonieverse

Whooops, prematurely hit post! Anyway, all of this is to say that you can do whatever you want with your channel and it's up to us to decide if we like the content enough to keep subscribing. I only hope whoever you bring on can respect BTS as artists and people and that it doesn't undermine and add any toxicity to the community you are trying to build here. Thanks and looking forward to more BTS reactions!

Jodys Corner

Thanks for this. Yeah, i feel you, but Patreon has made it CLEAR they dont want to hear what she has to say, so we will let that go. Ill ask her on my own. Thank you for being understanding.

Joonieverse

Of course and thank you for the work you’ve all put into getting to know the guys. Btw, I’m an educator and teach a college course on BTS. If you are interested in researched info on BTS, especially the BTS universe that they built over several albums, MVs, novels, and webtoon, I can offer myself as a resource. You have to be ready to get into BTS universe though. It’s a lot! 💜

Chlo

Do what you want. Just keep on watching more BTS please!

Ana

Hmmmmm.......... she's your friend so I don't mind NCT reactions from her. But for BTS nah. The only reason I say no is because it's a thing in K-pop called fandom wars. And she may have bias towards NCT and a lot of fandoms bring others down to boost their favs. So if she on that type of time no. But if she grew and can appreciate both bands then it will be cool. I enjoy NCT also so I don't mind some NCT reactions. But she did say some wild stuff. But if she grew and is open to discussing her opinions openly and honestly and can also take criticism from army then do it. But if she's just gonna hate no. Especially at this time with the smear campaign going on against BTS. If I don't like a group you'll never catch me bad mouthing one. Especially online because they are all humans too. But I'm gonna still support this channel no matter what 💜💜

Ana

Awww you're such a beautiful person Linda 💜💜
