QAnon followers are losing their minds because their hashtags have been hijacked by K-Pop fans

Online trolls and far-right conspiracy theorists learned a valuable lesson this week: Do not upset Korean pop music superfans.

On Sunday, K-pop stan Twitter rallied in support of the Black Lives Matter movement by spamming a request from the Dallas Police Department for “video of illegal activity from the protests” with videos known as “fancams,” or short clips of K-pop performers. The Dallas PD shut down its iWatch Dallas app soon after.

Following the success of “#BlackLivesMatter” and “#BlackoutTuesday” hashtags on Twitter, 4chan users set out to get their own hashtags -- “#WhiteLivesMatter” and “#WhiteoutWednesday” -- trending on Twitter the following morning to spread white supremacist propaganda and cause confusion about protests over the police killing of George Floyd. While those hashtags did trend, people who clicked on them were more likely to end up with a screen full of K-pop videos than racist tweets about “replacement migration.”
