    Thanks for the explanation. Sounds reminiscent of terfs and feminism, where the movement itself is good, but the extremists co-opting it are the problem? I’d only heard about it in passing, and it seemed quite reasonable to me; I wasn’t aware of that side of it, though.

      With 4B in South Korea I think it was bad from the start and not a case of co-opting. With people championing 4B in the US it’s a case of it’s still new, but unfortunately has roots in a bad movement. Hopefully 4B in the US will reject the terf aspect of 4B in South Korea, but that will take work.
