In fact, he was so entertained by the range of replies that he received that he didn\u2019t just retweet his favorites \u2013 he replied with a thread of literally all of the quote retweets. Several hardcore BTS fans responded negatively in a variety of ways, including accusations of racism, chastising Froste for making jokes about the situation, pointing out how much the BTS Army has donated to combat coronavirus, outright roasting him, and even some threats of bodily harm. Look guys, it’s another reason why I’ve lost faith in humanity The \ud83d\udc4f corona \ud83d\udc4f virus \ud83d\udc4f isn’t \ud83d\udc4f a joke \ud83d\udc4f\ud83d\udc4f\ud83d\udc4f https:\/\/t.co\/CirctIV4Dh \u2014 -_- (@jentIeten) March 12, 2020 https:\/\/twitter.com\/baapsae\/status\/1237925661446209539 https:\/\/twitter.com\/BTSoverlord\/status\/1238040618510794752 Like any tweet that invokes the wrath of the Korean pop group\u2019s fans, several replies also are quick to point out how dedicated and perhaps overzealous some of them are, which was the basis of Froste\u2019s original joke. Several big internet stars, including YouTube king Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg and popular Twitch streamer F\u00e9lix \u2018xQc\u2018 Lengyel have had their own run-ins with the group\u2019s fans, with Felix calling them \u201cthe most insane people on the planet.\u201d While supporters are quick to pounce on the boy band\u2019s haters, the BTS \u201cArmy\u201d can also be quite welcoming to those who genuinely support the group, such as professional wrestler and Hollywood actor John Cena. Since The Mob joined 100 Thieves back in August 2019, the group has appeared in more and more 100T content, and have upped their individual Twitter games. Froste has even gone viral before, with a strange reply to makeup YouTuber James Charles. In the war between The Mob and an actual mob of K-pop fans, there\u2019s no clear winner \u2013 apart from Twitter itself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
