..

K-pop stans listen a frightening reputation online, erudite to predispose in all-inclusive numbers in tangency of their conscript cause. Usually that nonbelligerent agency spreading the gospel of K-pop, except as protests listen erupted overseas America in response to the badge killing of George Floyd, as well as President Trump has threatened to slide in the military fronting those on the streets, fans listen found a new cause: flooding traditionalistic hashtags like #MAGA as well as #BlueLivesMatter with memes, GIFs, as well as videos of their liked K-pop artists.

This contempo political arousal seems to listen started hindmost the Dallas Badge Department asked the public on Sunday to tarry videos of "illegal balling from the protests" via a committed app. Stans responded by think-in K-pop engaging including fancams (short, fan-recorded clips of artists) as well as Dallas PD were somewhen forced to take fuzz the app.

Now it seems the stans are axis their circumspection on traditionalistic hashtags increasingly generally. Browsing Warble or Instagram for hashtags like #MAGA as well as #BlueLivesMatter shows that the most contempo posts are full of K-pop fancams as well as memes that phoney these causes. Over-and-above stan groups like the Barbz, who support Nicki Minaj, are arithmetic obtaining involved. (Although the top posts, those that are most engaged with, still usually come from sincere supporters.)

Can the kpop stans who fraught the dallas badge app with fancams do the same for the M*GA, bluelivesmatter as well as any over-and-above alt right hashtag, ESPECIALLY on IG as well as Facebook. we need your casework again

These types of coordinated deportment may personalized be in effect for a short period until the stans' circumspection moves on. Except such acting struggles for the "control" of popular hashtags can still be significant.
