At this point, it's virtually impossible to deny BTS’s global cultural impact.
As professional members of the media, Weetman, Hegerty and McElvoy should have understood this context and known that their comments would be received poorly. Yet white critics often don’t realize the extent to which their insensitive remarks hurt POC artists and fans, because they have the luxury of not having to constantly think about or dodge those microaggressions. And even if they didn’t mean for their BTS comments to hurt fans, they don’t have the right to dictate how fans react to them.
Also implicit in these types of comments—particularly Hegerty’s—is an insidious sexism and ageism. Critics often dismiss BTS’s musical and cultural achievements by arguing that their fan base consists solely of hysterical teenage girls who can’t make informed decisions about music and pop culture. Not only is this faulty logic—teenage girls are arguably the most important demographic among musical tastemakers—but it’s also patently untrue.
