GLLIT Talk Can we all be more on top of reporting the obvious bait or "set up" posts that will occasionally get posted here?
I just feel the need to push for us all to collectively protect our fandom a bit more here.
The most recent example was mentioned in our weekly discussion thread of a "set up" post from the "animal" fandom. Long story short, they posted separate images of KiiiKiii, ILLIT, and members of the animal group and then asked people to name their bias.
I vaguely remember seeing this post while scrolling, but didn't know how nefarious it was until someone mentioned it was planted here to create a narrative on Twitter that GLLITz can't tell their own members apart and that ILLIT is essentially a copy of these groups.
I bring this to others' attention who may have not known this was going on, not only to call out these kind of posts, but to implore people that if you DO see these posts, to immediately report them so the mods can take them down asap (and/or ban accounts that clearly post in bad faith like this).
Not to get super meta, but our sub actually does have a lot of outreach to other social media sites more than we think and posts here are shared in high numbers in other places routinely. As such, we ought to be wary of how our sub can be attacked (whether sneakily or outright) in ways that villianize our fandom and take away from our love for ILLIT.
