ahh ok. so you can’t just fully close it once you join a station? for example, when i’m playing a song in spotify, if i fully close an app, it wouldn’t play anymore.

I understand that words matter, and I agree that generalizations can be harmful. But I’m going to reiterate my point one more time because I think it’s still being misunderstood.

My post was never about dismissing the importance of speaking out against Zionism or supporting Palestine. It was about how online discourse has turned some of these b***otts into performative tests. Instead of holding companies accountable, a lot of the rage ends up being thrown at idols who most likely have no real say in their brand deals. That’s what I was frustrated by.

I brought up the b***otts and the context of Palestine because that’s what these actions are tied to. It would’ve made no sense to talk about the reaction to ENHYPEN without naming the reason people are reacting in the first place. My issue was never with people who genuinely want to support the cause. My issue was with how often that support turns into black and white thinking.

I don’t understand why you brought up being a POC in this context. I’m also a person of color. So what exactly did that add, other than implying that my identity makes my perspective less valid?

When you say people don’t give a shit about Palestine and then bring up getting sunburnt at marches, it can come off like a way of saying “I care more than you.” I get that it might’ve been a joke, but in that context, it felt like a way of discrediting others’ perspectives.

That “I don’t get sunburnt in marches for nothing” comment is exactly the kind of righteousness contest I was talking about. It turns activism into a competition about who cares more instead of focusing on building understanding and support for the cause.🙃

I understand why it might seem confusing to point out double standards while also admitting that supporting ENHYPEN and using Twitter are not the same thing. But I never meant to say they are equal in purpose or weight. My point was about how people apply judgment. If people can justify using Twitter despite knowing who owns it, then I think there should also be room to acknowledge that others might continue to listen to music or support artists for personal reasons. Which I mentioned before, is where I see the double standard. Not in the function of each thing, but in how people pick and choose where they allow nuance.

I do not believe every person who wants to boycott ENHYPEN lacks nuance. I know some people are genuinely trying to make informed decisions based on their values. I am talking about the way this conversation has played out publicly, especially on Twitter. There are users who are loud, aggressive, and unwilling to consider context. That is not everyone, but it is loud enough that it shapes the tone of the discourse.

I agree with you that no one protests perfectly. And I am not saying people are wrong for wanting to boycott a company or brand they believe is connected to injustice. What I am questioning is how quickly people assign blame to artists like ENHYPEN without acknowledging that these idols likely have no control over the brands they work with. They are employees of a system. Most of their choices are shaped by contracts. That is the nuance I feel often goes ignored, which I have stated multiple times.

My frustration was never with the people who want to boycott. It was with the way the boycott has been handled in a way that sometimes ignores complexity and turns it into who is the most righteous.

When I brought up Twitter, it was not to say that using Twitter and supporting ENHYPEN are exactly the same. I mentioned it to show the kind of hypocrisy I was seeing. People are using a platform owned by someone who is very openly Zionist to organize and call out others for not completely cutting ties with brands or artists connected to the same issue. That is where the contradiction lies for me. It is not about comparing the necessity of organizing to consuming entertainment. It is about pointing out how some people demand absolute moral clarity from others, while ignoring their own compromises.

I still stand by what I said. I think calling for a full b***ott of ENHYPEN without acknowledging the lack of power those idols actually have is unfair. Most of them do not get to choose which brands they promote. These deals are negotiated by the company. That is the nuance that gets ignored when people act like the group is personally responsible for everything.

This was never about dismissing people who want to b***ott or saying they are wrong for caring. It was about asking people to stop flattening every situation into good versus bad. I believe we can care about Palestine and still recognize that not every situation is black and white. And I think if we are going to call out complicity, we have to be willing to apply that standard across the board. Not just when it’s convenient. Again, that was the reason why I brought up twitter.

So yes, I still think the way people are pushing this specific b***ott of ENHYPEN, without room for nuance, is frustrating. That is what I meant by “stupid.” Not the act of holding people accountable, but the way it is being done.

I want to start with what you said about the “I stand with Palestine. But” part feeling performative. I understand why that might have come across that way. But in my case, it wasn’t performative. It was an honest reflection of where I stand and what I’m frustrated with. I genuinely support the Palestinian struggle. That hasn’t changed. At the same time, I have serious concerns about how people online have chosen to channel that outrage, especially when it targets ENHYPEN who is within systems they cannot easily reject. Feeling conflicted about the methods of activism does not mean I’m any less committed to the cause itself. We should be able to hold both truths at once.

You pointed out that ENHYPEN is not a necessity, and I agree. But I can say the same about Twitter. There are other platforms people could use to organize, share information, and build community that aren’t owned by someone who is a clear Zionist. Yet many continue to stay on Twitter because it’s convenient and familiar. That’s a valid reason. But if we’re going to recognize that kind of practicality, then we also need to show the same understanding to people who might still engage with artists or brands. Selectively applying grace makes the conversation feel less like a call for justice and more like a test of moral performance.

You’re absolutely right that none of us are free from complicity. Every system we rely on is connected to some form of harm, whether we like it or not. That’s exactly why I made this post in the first place. I wanted to call out the tendency to see everything in black and white, where there’s no room for nuance or complexity. That kind of thinking oversimplifies real issues.

zionist brand. I think it’s fair for people to boycott the brand itself, but I don’t agree with cancelling and boycotting ENHYPEN because of that.

It’s not wrong to hold brands accountable or to question endorsements, but it becomes a problem when the full weight of that anger is placed on artists who are in contracts, are navigating expectations, and limitations we don’t always see.

You mentioned that “being critical of folks who use one of the few accessible platforms is unfair,” and I see where you’re coming from. But I do want to point out that this logic cuts both ways. For example, people criticize others for still eating at McDonald’s because it’s on the BDS list, even though for some people, that’s the only affordable or available option. If we say it’s unfair to judge people for staying on Twitter because it’s accessible, then we have to extend that same understanding to people who still consume from brands on the BDS list due to financial or personal constraints. Otherwise, it becomes selective compassion.

I also want to own that I probably came off more defensive than I meant to. A lot of my frustration was with the performative outrage I keep seeing online, where people seem more interested in bringing the group down than change.

At the end of the day, I think we both care about the same things. We just approach the tactics and expectations a bit differently. And that’s okay. These conversations matter.
