James cordon getting cancelled by army

He shouldn't have said that but I think he was joking...

Wut? How is this remotely offensive? He's obviously referencing the irony of BTS fandom's name being "Army" while BTS themselves are performing/speaking at an institution designed to promote world peace.

ETA: ok never mind, i just listened to the last crack about 15 year old girls

imagine cancelling jimin's mochi father

Cringe lmaoooo

I get that writers of the show love a punchline but he sure didn't have to go with it.

He's the last one I expected to help push that narrative to his audience as I believe he genuinely does like and respect them.

Anything for a cheap laugh. Sad.

Anywho, we have a comeback so I am sure Armys aren't going to waste time on this.

How is it that shit always happens during cb time like…..

Idk how it's "unusual" when they have already been there before. They weren't visitors, they were there for a reason. They gave a speech about sustainable development goals. They were there to represent youth around the world. They literally stayed for more than 24 hours and recorded a performance. Also.... they were invited by the UN themselves.

I can understand the ARMY joke but stop with that dead horse of "15 year old girls" and what you think about them. I guess everyone has this in their subconscious, they just try to hide it for some time but it eventually comes out.

Disappointed but not surprised.

It was a joke though I dont understand the outrage.

He was just highlighting the fact that the people tuning in for this political event wasnt the usual audience (which is true, bts fandom is indeed partially composed of young fans who wouldnt have cared about UN related matters otherwise).

He just expressed it in an exaggerated way because this is how jokes work. Not everything has to be taken this seriously...

I don’t like this account. They hype up solo stans

While of course I’m disappointed about James portraying ARMY as 15 years old girls, I’m more disappointed that he didn’t emphasis the message that BTS wanted to share during the UNSD meeting. He could highlight the message that covid is not the end, but can be the beginning (welcome generation), bad things happen but we can try to make the best out of it (I’m just paraphrasing here), even about advocating vaccination.., so many things Corden can help push the message but he prefer cheap jokes. Pity

exactly only partially not fully and these young fans who don't care abt matters only donate for the society according to you

Even if they are just a part of the fandom, them tuning in still resultied in an unusual amount of young people getting interested in this kind of event. Which is pretty much what he implied with his joke. At the end of day it was really just that, a joke. I dont think his intention was to disrespect bts.

i didnt understand what you meant with the bolt part of your reply, sorry...

never knew just saw it on my tl and sounded pretty right to me

I like this account too. And I’ve been following since 2018. Sometimes there was a bit of bias but it is human nature.

As long as someone love the boys or one of them or just their song, I’m alright with that person. Because it’s not about me, it’s about having people on board for the BTS taking over the world agenda lol

Not everything is a joke too.

If he doesnt believe and care about

that event just continue with his cringey

af jokes with his audience and stop using

bts for clout and views.

Disappointed but not surprised, probably 90% of the celebrities that suck it up to BTS do it just for the hype and personal gain, hence why they never talk about the truly important stuff like the message that BTS tries to convey through music and whatnot. I would think twice before giving these celebrities any clout for allegedly "stanning/supporting" BTS.

See. He can encourage his "mature"

audience to watch Bts speech so that they

would know why Unga inviting "unusual

guest" in their assembly.

he deserves to be fired

Cordon that dig of bts having 15 yo fangirls needs to die. This stands for media covering other boybands and their fandoms too.

Teenage fangirls first of all are not some sub human class, where all of them behave deranged like the media portrays them to be.

They have just as much taste as teenage boys but are just judged so harshly for what they like. Whereas sports fans who exhibit the same or even worse behaviour are seen as nothing out of the ordinary.

Terrible jokes? Yeah.

Worth getting cancelled for? No.

His true colors where already shown when he asked for views the time he hosted BTS, they are all using them for clout.

I don't see anything wrong with that joke considering most BTS fans are teen girls. Unless other army members think being a teen girl is bad, I don't see why there is any outrage.

James obviously not listening to the album though, yikes that could have been horrible PR for him.

Cancel is a strong word. I was kinda iffy about him but gave it a pass bc the interviews and segments were good but yeah.

The joke could be a joke if it wasn't so severely overused and not just by James Corden but by CNN, New York Times. There's a need to infantilize Bangtan and their fans that is really upsetting, especially for this serious matter.

I mean them going to UN for a speech isn't exactly something one had to use to pull a joke.. and to think a joke like that..

But I am afraid this narrative wont die any soon sadly
