cultural appropriation - these topics literally used to get 10-40 pages of discussion
social activism - tangentially related to CA. there was a time ifans were into activism during the Trump era, especially with hashtags
sajaegi - #EVERYBODY knows. used to be brought up a lot but now rarely if ever mentioned even with 1 million albums sales all of a sudden. "playlisting" terms seems to have replaced it
black drag queen vernacular - "SLAY", "snatched my wig/weave/edges", "qurl", "hunty", etc. used to commonly said by ifans (while paradoxically claiming to be against CA), now it's more rare
"pr fees" - a disgusting practice by kpop companies and one of the reasons Interpol was wanted by Sooman. now the biggest crime kpop companies commit according to ifans is not giving idols solos
sponsors - somewhat related to the former. rich men and CEOs sponsoring the career of idols in exchange for certain favors. usually said to only happen to nugus but that's also a cop out
talent bragging - this used to be huge. there was a time there were more threads bragging about some idol being the most talented compared to achievement threads. now music, visuals and company is considered more important to success overall
unbreakable bond - this is self explanatory
"my faves didn't get ps, they lost weight" - the ps denial was at an all time high in the past. the common defense was "they lose weight", even when their idols lost parts of their jaw bones
outrage over debuting minors - you could find many threads about users lamenting the fact minors are debuting. it got real quiet after it was known YG and SM are going to debut more minors than anyone else
