The gist of the situation from what I got was in a livestream where people mention all kinds of random shit, including marry me or curse words. He zeroed in on a word....BTS and went off. I get that its wrong to mention bts in a livestream but holy shit this is extremely innappropriate. I'm not even an ARMY but some entitlement and confidence with which Indian men deliver threats against women is scary.
What bothered me:
Edit: Some people are saying she didn't even comment about bts it's just her user id was bts fan....man this is so weirddd.
What I wanted to post as an article, incase it doesn't get posted.
It's disheartening to see support for such behaviour in incelcore communities like reddit. This backlash against teenage girls and their hobbies are nothing new unfortunately but mixed with India's misogynistic echochambers, it's extremely alarming.
It's truly a shame that prejudice against women is so deeply entrentched in "meme culture" in India that they forget their humanity for internet brownie points from strangers.
In a country who's toxic sports fan culture has made several rounds, an incident like this is seen as a pathetic victory against a imaginary caricature of a "teenage girl" that doesn't exist. This brings us to the question would they have cheered if a football or cricket related user name was called out?
