Welcome back to Don’t Alert the Stans! For today’s episode the boys are joined by culture writer Haaniyah Angus better known as Han or Hanxine (@hanxine_). In addition to writing for Vulture and We Are Your Voice, she has written several pieces on her Medium account which have garnered huge traction in the online sphere. Kicking off the news this week, Nic sounds off on Yes Julz comments against Scottie Beam and Karen Civil leading a wider discussion about her position in the Hip-Hop community and anti-blackness (00:23:09). Next up is a Janet Jackson special as the legendary pop icon has been in the news quite a bit recently. Led by Sope they discuss her headlining slot at Glastonbury, her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the pressure she’s receiving from Michael Jackson stans and her family alike for not releasing a statement on the contentious Leaving Neverland documentary (00:49:29). Raz B’s short-lived departure from the B2K reunion is discussed as they discuss the ongoing links between the B2K brand and Chris Stokes who allegedly abused and molested Raz B at the height of their success (00:59:48). Rounding off the episode is a comprehensive discussion with Han focused on the proliferation and history of stan culture, the psychology behind the way stans think and how this manifests in the world of K-Pop (01:22:12).
