aren't those bots just those that parrot common replies under popular tweets?
they are
To be blunt, i think some of you are just looking for an excuse instead of accepting what's really happening: kpop fans can be very horrible online if they find "a weakness". The reason this feels much bigger is because it's not just the typical army-blink twt fight anymore, but kpop fans in general and it's on multiple platforms. Lisa made a few "wrong" moves this era and that's pretty much enough for kpop fans to all join en masse. Even if you go to pro-blackpink/neutral sites, people were pretty harsh about everything she did this roll-out.
To compare, even now there are army/bp solo fans - blinks fanwars about jennie's roll out, but since her album seems to be universally well received, it will just remain as those typical fanwars.
