More than anything,the video from c0lbert's show comparing them with beetles and their silly introduction,only showed the glaring differences between the two groups.
I think these shows are lowkey shading them this time around.It is how the western media works.They mock and try to show the artists' weaknesses with every chance they get.This happened with jb,1D and all other artists as well.
The mocking will be there as they try to gain more acceptance.Because acceptance is a two-way road.If they want to be accepted here for what they are,they have to accept the media circus here for what it is.However,it can't be as overt with bt5 as it was with other artists lest the shows and hosts be branded as racists.So,they are going at it indirectly.
And they keep promoting them anyway,as a part of the agenda.And yes,also the juicy trp ratings.
