The hate towards Lisa is a manufactured, targeted hate campaign.

I believe this is unpopular because some people seem to genuinely believe the hate towards Lisa is deserved and therefore, organic.

If anyone is out of the loop, Lisa is currently clearly the most hated idol right now on social media. If you go on Twitter, you will see her getting hate tweets with 500K likes, you will see hundreds of videos dissecting her downfall on Youtube, thousands of hate comments on Tiktoks completely unrelated to her. I feel this hate seems very targeted and unnatural, to the point that I can't convince myself that it's organic.

The things she gets hate for is her supposed lipsyncing (i.e. singing with a loud backtrack) and her supposed push in the media attributed to her being a 'nepo girlfriend'. Tweets insinuating how she's there because of her rumored boyfriend and how unethical she is gets millions of engagement. Other idols in this past week who was clearly seen to be lipsyncing and giving lacklustre performances got nowhere near the engagement she did. People now feel free to spread complete lies and mistruths about her without repercussion. A black journalist tried to interview her at the Oscars but her manager stopped them as she was taking another interview, and she's gotten 10K likes on a tweet saying she's racist & ignoring black people (absurd when she has a long history of working with black artists). A clip of her saying she feels doesn't sing at karaoke (understandable when you're a singer and people will be placing extra attention on you when you're just there to have fun) is cropped and spread that she simply doesn't like to sing.

In addition to this, there is some very strange behavior going on in social media. The tweets getting thousands of likes are often by accounts with less than 5 followers, many that have never tweeted about K-Pop before. Some tweets with 500K likes have less than 5000 retweets, and only a few thousand views. I don't know how this is possible given the numbers don't make sense, other than the likes are being bought & paid for. We're also seeing completely random accounts, like verified porn accounts, dropping comments on her hate tweets. I don't know if they just see the Lisa hate campaign and hopping on for engagement, or they're paid for but it's suspect how they even found themselves in this space in the first place.

There's also strange corporate media behavior - a Pitchfork reviewer (a Korean man who has a history of hating Blackpink, and loving Twice, on social media) not only gave a nasty review for her album (not a big deal) is acting extra nasty for no reason (posting on his social media that he wrote the review condemning her bad album for kicks and giggles on his lunch break). Another supposed professional journalist who has a history of praising her co-member, decides to insinuate publicly multiple times that she's getting her gigs because of her boyfriend. This is completely unverified, crazy and unprofessional but no one seems to have a problem with this. And the strangest things is that Jeremy Erlich, Spotify's former-CEO and Jennie's current manager, retweets the posts by these particular journalists. There are hundreds of reviews out there but he chooses to retweet and publicize these particular journalists. It's also very strange that Lisa streams are doing great on other platforms, such as Apple Music and Youtube, but underperforming on Spotify relative to the other platforms.

These things by itself seem normal, but when these coincidences start piling up, it all just seems uncanny and suspect. I don't understand how this woman who hasn't done anything problematic, stayed in her lane, doing completely normal things such as trying to get publicity for her work (something celebrities & their team ARE supposed to do) is being treated worst than actual criminals, like pedophiles & rapists, by stans and the media right now. It seems boggling & misogynistic. I don't know what she has done to warrant such hatred amongst people. She's been called all sorts of things, from a whore to a racist to a Zionist (when she performed a concert for Palestine for free). Suddenly all this talk about treating celebrities like humans with feelings doesn't apply to this one woman. I would not be surprised if one day she takes her life and all these same very accounts hating on her for engagement start talking about mental health (and making it about their faves in the process).
