white “anti-racist” k-pop stans make me cackle. They work so hard to “try and help,” virtue signaling left and right, only to get jealous when a band shows love for fans of color. BTS love Mexico. Mexico loves BTS. They have a song called Aliens-u get it

You gotta watch out for the obsessive internet virtue signalers when time comes to actually be of virtue or genuinely care

Yup. I’m white but also disabled, so tho I don’t share the same experiences as people of color I’ve had my fair share of performativeness and people getting jealous that I get “special treatment.” it fucking sucks and I wish I could hit people over the head

Also 100% agree. An unfortunate pattern I’ve noticed is that the majority of people trying to cancel groups don’t even stan them and are just trying to eliminate competition and validate their parasocial relationships
