K-pop stans are doing their part to drown out racist posts on Twitter

Click on one and you’ll be significantly less worried to know that they’re filled with K-pop fancams and photos, meant to drown out racist and pro-cop tweets. Accounts like @1TGIRL and @stayy_zz seemed to organize the effort.
This comes less than 48 hours after K-pop stans flooded police department apps and portals, meant for submitting photos and videos of protest activity and looting, with more fancams. The effort started the evening of June 2 on hashtags like #bluelivesmatter and, as of this morning, has taken over #whiteoutwednesday and #whitelivesmatter. Because if there’s one constant on the internet aside from the presence of racists, it’s that K-pop stans run the show.
