So some users' on twitter are boycotting Joji after they discover Filthy Frank

I found out on twitter's "trending" lines, that #jojiisoverparty was charting and news media picked it up

Apparently some K-Pop fans were upset that Joji used to make very vulgar videos and music under the Pink Guy/Filthy Frank persona.

While these are vocal minorities, the fact that it managed to trend for a certain time shows their potential.

What do you think?

Ignorant people miss the irony of what FilthyFrank was meant to be and become unknowingly outraged about not being in on the joke. I highly doubt he's going to be "cancelled" over this – the majority of his current fanbase are carry-overs from his time as FF (let's be real here, nobody really cares for his boring music and only listen to it because it's motherfucking FilthyFrank). When these morons don't get him cancelled like they hoped, they'll stop and fuck off to harass another creator (I'd give it a week).

See you next election then, Kenetic.

I really didn't expect you to be one of my voters.

On the more important subject though, how do you not hear about Joji without almost simultaneously learning about Filthy Frank? It's literally the thing he's best known for? He invented the Harlem Shake meme, don't tell me that they've never heard of that?

It took all of a single google search of Joji and 3 seconds in the first results not related to this to figure out Joji is formerly Filthy Frank. I did more research in the span of about 8 seconds than any of these people have ever done it seems.
(I knew Joji was Frank before this I just figured Id test out how long itd take an average person to figure out.)

Having seen this idiocy on Twitter first hand, all I can say is that it's pretty stupid. There's context and all to a Filthy Frank video beyond a dude in a full body pink spandex saying "gibe me da pussi, boss" but these K-Pop stans likely never saw Joji's old stuff. Also never will forget how one K-Pop stan threw a slur at a black man that wasn't offended by Filthy Frank since he knew there was context to it.

Joji won't be cancelled by the screechings of teenagers and adult children with avatars of Korean pop idols but the cancel culture they engage in will further serve an example in how stupid and cancerous it is.
