This, so much! I don't even have anything to add because you said it all so perfectly. Sure, the companies do control a few things, I will concede that, but not everything, especially in groups with more creative freedom.

People treat their fav like their company's puppet and get suprised when other people also follow the narrative
Like boohoo cry me a river
Fans are the ones creating the problem, can't feel sorry for them crying over it
i agree, even tho they are minority but they are loud enough that their voice are heard so much and paint kpop in bad light
We always like to tell ourselves they are the minority
But hey the majority isn't reporting them
The majority isn't drowning their voice
The majority is standing by bc it's convenient that the minority is doing the dirty work for them

not only that, kpop fans would rather swear up and down that their faves are ignorant dumbasses to absolve them of any responsibility when something controversial happens.

Yes
all those fashion icons who are not allowed to refuse problematic hair styles and clothes
All those idol lyricist who don't read their own misogynistic lyrics, even though they somehow recorded it
All those self produced idols, who had no idea about the plagiarized beats in their own songs

There was a mega face palm one with Blinks. Blinks sent a ton of death threats and general harassment towards the choreographer and made him trend worldwide because they didn’t like his previous routines. Turns out he did a small portion of the latest cb and the rest was elsewhere likely YG lmao.
They will literally laugh at racism as long as it's not directed at their faves.

That's a whole other issue
I have seen kpop fans promoting their favs as LGBT supporters and in the same breath make homophobic comments toward other idols
Your fav can't be that good of a role model if you are that shit of a person

true, but I assumed this was stemming from what was happening on twitter yesterday where people were laughing and saying they deserved getting racist dms
I do agree that respect goes a long way. There are too many fans who go along with toxic fans and solo stans to drag people who work with their faves. There was recently a good example with Johnny at the Met Gala. Johfam were being super nice to the photographers who uploaded pictures of him and in turn so many were thankful for the interactions.

Some journalists called out a fandom for flooding him with harassing DMs. Lots of kys, anti-asian sentiments, and hoping for them to be assaulted. People who agreed were called fake and then similarly attacked. People brought up things that have happened to black fans when they speak up about racism/ca incidents and were attacked.
It was a mess yesterday.

I did read on that and I wish I didnt
alot of them made jokes of Shireen Abu's murder by zionists bc they believe that should happen to all the journalist????
Like she was the only person reporting on Palestinians side and she was true humanitarian
Im personally outraged at this point by kpop fans
This tends to be a problem with internet culture in general, especially in places like Twitter and Instagram. Not just a kpop thing, it happens across many different non-kpop fandoms. It's how these platforms are designed and the types of people they amplify. You can have 10,000 totally cool fans but the 10 horrible ones are amplified and rewarded with greater visibility and engagement. With increased engagement, they become more difficult to shut down. What's sad about this is that if there was a valid issue originally, it then gets completely lost (this is what happened in the situation with the journalist that others have referenced).
