twitter fans are literally deranged. Like have you never been loved in your life?? I just. Them veiling everything with "it's for Lisa, etc" is so fake and disgusting because anyone with common sense can understand it's disrespectful and out of pocket. The braids issue has been taken completely out of proportion and it disgusts me that western fans have taken it upon themselves to create this into something it wasn't. LIKE AT ALL. And if they were actually so part of said culture, they would know the meaning of box braids, named after the shape of the box that is made on the root/scalp. And not to mention, that SO SO many Africans that are born and bred do not mind negatively whatsoever. It is actually hilarious that somehow the large community of Ethiopians that live near me that are FIRST GENERATION IMMIGRANTS (they are more familiar with the culture than so many!! BORN! AND! BRED!) would theoretically have less of a say in this topic. Insane. She did nothing wrong and i truly feel bad that she has some crazy sensitive control freaks as her fans, accusing her of something so far a reach...Not to mention, this topic usually only has somewhat validity when talking about dynamics, so it pretty much only applies to western nations. Lisa? Is? Thai? I'm honestly just so sick of how this is being forced onto other cultures. I'm sure Lisa is also unfamiliar to this concept as people in Asia, Africa Australia etc LOVE sharing our cultures and see foreigners participate in the beauty of our traditions. It is such a sign for the world being more open minded and empathetic to the unknown, so we are happy when others appreciate in many ways our culture. Why would we want segregation of cultures if we strive to be accepted and appreciated and NORMALIZED?? I just can't believe this immature "lilies" took it upon themselves in a fansign to talk about really a topic that clearly they are not educated on, when a much more worthy fan could use that time for a conversation of value.

@Mirainakamura thank u!! I was literally losing my mind. Poor girl finished her solo era thinking she did something wrong when she didn't whatsoever. On one hand I'm glad she's getting international attention, because Koreans...we know already. But on the other hand, things like this happen regularly and they feel the push to treat her as their child or their friend and that is so not ok and so disrespectful and I just - people are scared to talk about it because so many people are like "you're not black, you're a racist" but like, hello?? I'm Asian and I still know more than you?? It's getting sooo absurd.

@TheLastSonglife OMG THANK YOU- those weren't box braids at all and i was so confused when ppl were saying they were; yes if they started at the front of her scalp and went back that would be an issue but its literally just a pony tail w braids. these ppl have no idea what theyre talking abt.
