(There's also apparently been death threats and homophobic harassment of people who've commented in support of her response, though most of that is reported in crappy tabloid newspapers, so... *shrug*) I am curious why so many Blackpink fans objected to the collaboration.

(Not not *that* curious. I personally have no interest in Kpop. I only heard about this because my students mentioned the collaboration, and I googled it so I would be able to talk about it with them. First thing that came up with mob abuse on Twitter... unsurprisingly.)

I think the lesson is that we should not lump all Kpop fans together when some are toxic, but... well, we also shouldn't lump them all together when praising the outstanding support some of them offered to BLM and their criticisms/attack on paramilitary police violence in the US.
