Kat is a diligent and empathic journalist, and the fact that a YouTuber deliberately called out her Twitter to direct harassment towards her for an article he said he didn’t even read is abhorrent. Her reporting, and dedication to this story, is incredible and solid.

I didn’t expect to wake up to a call from my editor telling me a YouTuber with 2.8M subscribers uploaded a secretly recorded phone call with me. I really didn’t expect that YouTuber to then reveal on a livestream that he didn’t read the article he made a 20-min video about.

Lots of people online were surprised by K-pop stans' participation in raising money or taking over hashtags, despite fandom precedent. However, some of the recent attention has framed K-pop fandom in a way that fails to account for its anti-Blackness.
