(29,322 posts)K-Pop fans tend to protest like White Supremacist hashtags. If they turned on AOC it is probably because she did something to deserve it.
I have been on Twitter so I'm aware how K-Pop fans protest.
K-pop stans overwhelm app after Dallas police ask for videos of protesters
After the Dallas Police Department asked people to send videos of illegal activity from the protests happening in the city over the weekend using a special app called iWatch Dallas, K-pop fans flooded the software with content from their favorite artists and seemingly overloaded the reporting system in the process.

Inside K-Pop Stans' Social Media War Against White Supremacists
Update: In the time since originally reporting, fans of BTS (an astronomically popular K-Pop boy band) have raised over one million dollars for Black Lives Matter and additional civil rights organizations, proving again that no one stans harder than K-Pop fans.
Original post below:
This week, the #BlackoutTuesday campaign marked a grassroots Internet campaign to halt personal promotion during the Black Lives Matter protest in an effort to elevate voices of the movement fighting systemic racism and police violence in America. But, in response to that, white supremacists pushed back with their own movement called #WhiteoutWednesday, an organized attempt to flood the internet with racist propaganda and overwhelm the Black Lives Matter messaging. But, the racist efforts were thwarted by an unlikely Black Lives Matter ally: Fans of Korean pop entered the chat.

I doubt K-pop would turn on AOC based on this.

(7,681 posts)Obviously there was never a need for the "overflow area" because the event was never sold out.
But you can be sure a ticket was required to be in that area. You can't just show up for a thing like this..

Do you know what the campaign is talking about, or is this as made up as it sounds?
