Hello! Let me start off this thread by saying that if you are at all familiar with Ajanaevis (her new channel name, but I think she’s still more widely known to others as Ajanae), and/or me, you can probably guess my exact thoughts on her without much difficulty. If you have never heard of her until now, I envy you. She is a K-Pop YouTuber that I take issue with. On the surface, she appears like the average K-Pop YouTuber and if that was all her channel was, I would take no issue with it. Instead, I’ll be making a list of what I think she has done wrong. Just a warning: this will be a very, very long thread. You might want to find some popcorn and someplace comfortable to curl up before you get much further.
Before I get into the actual discussion, I have a few things I want to mention right now to clear up so no one is confused:
- Please, please do not send any hate to her. I know full well that what she is doing is wrong, but if you fight her hate towards the groups with hate from you, it won’t solve anything. In fact, it will partially (but likely not quite completely) lower you down to her level.
- As I hope you recognize from the above point, I am not making this thread to hate on her in any aspect, only to critique some of the actions she has done and words she has said that rub me the wrong way.
- By all means, if I miss anything, and I likely will because I have poor memory, please correct me or add it to the comments. I would like my thread to be relatively exhaustive.
- If any part of my thread violates any of the AllK-Pop Forum rules, I will be happy to take it down or modify it to better fit the rules, just let me know which ones were broken and what would be the best course of action for me to take.
- I do not believe in stalking and did not go through all of her content just to make this thread. I limited myself to whatever offenses I could think of without actively searching for them, then only went to find proof of said offenses so you would not have to rely on my word alone.

Reasons why I am making this thread:
- So that people who know her or have subscribed to her can know some of what I consider to be her wrong doings. Most people may know of perhaps one or two of her offenses and brush it off as no big deal, but I think seeing the whole list all at once can help sink in the severity of the issue for some people.
- Because someone on here (I forget who) once said that the only people who get offended by her are white teenagers and I would like to safely disprove this point by stating what she has done that I consider to be objectively wrong.
- Someone on YouTube (again, I forget who), once commented on why the reason that Ajanae ignores or gets angry towards the critique she has received so far is because either it is all hate or there is nothing constructive provided. I would like to provide her with some constructive criticism in case she is genuinely interested in improving. This is not done to tell her how to run her channel at all, it’s to help her. It’s her channel, she can do with it what she likes, as long as YouTube is fine with it and it is reasonable.
With that being said, I think that covers everything for now. I doubt everything I have to say will fit into the main post, so there will be plenty of replies below the main post. The initial replies I make below the main post are a continuation of my post, so please treat them as such. I will put each of the different sections in their own spoiler, so as not to overload your screen with a huge wall of text (at first).
This first section will be dedicated to everything I can think of that she has said against Stray Kids or their fans specifically. This is because since they are one of my current favorite groups, I tended to notice her offenses towards them more frequently. Here are all the things she has said against them that I can think of off the top of my head in no particular order:
- Put both Bang Chan and Hyunjin on a list of K-Pop idols they wanted to fight. It’s fine to dislike someone and liking everyone is pretty hard, but to want to fight someone? It seems like her issue here is with their racial controversies and I completely understand feeling offended over that, but actually fighting said people would not solve anything.

- Called 3racha bad rappers and called one of them a h*lf-breed. It’s fine to dislike their rap style or just not prefer it, but they are objectively good rappers, like it or not. Also, the fact that she admitted she didn’t even know what a polyrhythmic rap was and instead called the rappers who did it offbeat says quite a bit. About the h*lf-breed comment, I find it quite ironic that she’s so openly racist and hasn’t apologized for it, when we already saw from the last point that people being racially insensitive bothers her.

- Said that she considers it a red flag if someone is a Stay and likes their rapline or the group in general. I know Stays are considered toxic and I get why to some extent, but not all of us are. For example, most of us Michelins are pretty non-toxic from what I’ve seen so far.

- Called Stray Kids “skid markz” and called their music “musical terrorism”. Do I even need to explain why this is messed up? She said it’s a joke, and forgive me if I’m being overly sensitive, but you just don’t joke about terrorism. Also said they should disband if they don’t make better music.

- Said that Chan and the rest of Stray Kids deserve all the hate they get and should get ten times more. I know what brutally honest is, what hateful is, and the difference between them. This, to me, falls safely in the hateful category.

- In a video about K-Pop artists she likes and hates, when she was discussing artists she hates, said the only reason when didn’t put Stray Kids in her makeshift, photoshopped prison is because they would see the metal bars and start creating a bunch of loud, powerful waves and call it music. I get that was supposed to be an insult, but that’s what music technically is.

- This thumbnail of hers from the previously mentioned video:
- Implies that all Stays condone every single wrong thing they’ve ever done and worships the ground they walk on. I can’t speak for everyone, but I certainly don’t do that and I highly doubt the other Michelins do as well.

- When discussing the “This Is America” scandal Chan had, mentioned how he had a bland personality. As I mentioned before, it’s fine to not absolutely love every person on this planet or their personality, but this was not only not true (in my opinion), it was also not relevant to the topic at hand and I fail to see how that comment was needed.
I know there’s probably more that I missed, but these are what I could think of. Let me know if I missed any. Now, onto the next sections:
Idk, wishing harm on people isn't exactly funny. Its not the same as making fun of a group name, you need to know where to draw the line. Your audience is full of teens who likely also hate themselves and thus take it out on idols
I do hope she similar people grow up though
