** "I Got A Boy." The changes in tempo and even style made it a polarizing song among the fanbase.
** Whether or not the members should be calling Tiffany 'pig-Fany'. On the one hand, fans have argued that the girls mean no ill will towards her, and that to an extent, Tiffany doesn't mind the nickname, seeing as how she dressed as a pig at her birthday party. On the other hand, those who don't the nickname argue that the it comes from insulting implications and that Tiffany herself has expressed discomfort and annoyance at being called that, as well as the fact that the main perpetrators (Yoona and Sooyoung) not only eat more than she does but are in fact praised for it, making them come off as hypocrites. Regardless, both camps are in agreement that fans should not be using the nickname at all, since antis have already picked it up.

* BreakupBreakout: While the group hasn't ''officially'' broken up, there's the obvious choice of Taeyeon, and also Hyoyeon, who's been working as a DJ, has her own solo career and appeared on a few reality shows where she impressed the audience and judges with her skills. Not bad for someone who used to be considered one of the "useless" members!

* YokoOhNo: Girls' Generation and SM Entertainment have been very discreet about disclosing their relationships publicly due to their ContractualPurity. That changed in 2014 however:
** Five of the nine members were revealed to have been dating (though Hyoyeon's was revealed through a police report from her arrest, and the two have supposedly broken up). Every one of these relationships was well-received -- except for Taeyeon, who had started a relationship with Baekhyun from Music/{{EXO}}. Taeyeon received a myriad of death threats on her Instagram account and had to post multiple apologies to appease her fans.
** While fans have started lashing out at [=SM Entertainment=] and the other eight members, fans have started blaming Jessica's boyfriend Tyler Kwon, the CEO and Chairman of Coridel Group and the Chairman of Seoulcilite Group, for Jessica's termination from the group.
** Though some fans saw it coming, there were also negative reactions to Tiffany and Nickhun's dating news in 2014, mostly from Taeyon/Tiffany shippers. So negative that Tiffany once posted a picture on her instagram of her wearing a red Mickey Mouse beanie and shippers raged just because Nickhun's favourite color is red and his favourite cartoon character is Mickey Mouse. [=TaeNy=] shippers flooded Nickhun's twitter with hateful messages and death threats and one particular person reveled in the fact that Nickhun blocked them.

Internet Backdraft is now Flame Bait and being dewicked per TRS.


* InternetBackdraft
** Never mention the words "plastic surgery" and "Girls' Generation" in the same sentence. It has somewhat died down, with most having come to accept reality for what it is, and not care about it.
** Bringing up Taeyeon dating {{Music/EXO}} member Baekhyun hardly ends well - she's been on the receiving end of one hell of a backlash from EXO fans, who are calling her such things as a "pedophile", even though she's only three years older than Baekhyun. Angry netizens also said that [=SNSD=] is now "on a downward spiral" and "should just break up already".
** Tiffany accidentally using a Snapchat geofilter that contained the Imperial Japanese flag on Instagram during Korea's Liberation Day [[note]]Compare with posting the Nazi flag during a a Holocaust memorial day[[/note]] blew up as the worst scandal a SNSD member has ever been in to date, trending Nr. 1 in Korean portals, even making national news. She apologized very quickly, but netizens accused her of sounding patronizing rather than apologetic in her letter. She then wrote another apology letter, which also wasn't accepted by netizens.
** ''Everything'' about Jessica's departure is nearly impossible to bring up without getting backlash from '''ANYONE'''. There's:
*** The discussion of who's to blame and who's the victim which has split the fandom in half - while Jessica does get plenty of hate, a lot also seems to be directed at the other members for booting her or not supporting her, thanks to a statement that Jessica [[http://www.dramafever.com/news/update-jessica-releases-an-official-statement-addressing-her-dismissal-from-girls-generation/ released]] that claimed the other eight girls were initially supportive of her starting the business before suddenly turning around and telling her to choose between the company and the group. Surprisingly, SM admitted this part of the story.
*** The hot debate of just what made SM kick Jessica out and which stories are true and false. Besides Jessica's statement that the group made her choose between them and her business, there were rumors of Jessica's wanting to leave the group circulating for almost a year before the scandal hit. Then there are those few who believe the less reasonable theory that the booting from SNSD was supposed to be a bluff to hurry Jessica, who had not yet arrived for promotions - which she supposedly seriously, and out of feelings of betrayal, complained on social media before anyone could even realize what had just happened. The reveal that she had officially filed suit to leave SM Entertainment using a Sejong lawyer - despite repeatedly insisting she hadn't been meeting with lawyers at all - did nothing to help her case.
*** And ''then'' a someone posted an interview [[http://netizenbuzz.blogspot.ca/2015/08/luhan-also-preparing-solo-singing-debut.html contrary to]] [[http://netizenbuzz.blogspot.ca/2014/03/sm-denies-jessicas-dating-rumors-with.html her previous claims]], she ''was'' [[http://netizenbuzz.blogspot.ca/2016/05/jessica-opens-up-about-tyler-kwon.html in a relationship with Tyler]] alongside the release of her mini-album, and she said she keeps in contact with some of the members... even after claiming they were mostly responsible for her departure. The fandom went ''nuts''.
*** Some fans believed the interview had been faked, but Jessica has since brought up her relationship with him [[https://www.kpopstarz.com/articles/286494/20170815/jessica-discusses-breaking-up-with-tyler-kwon-address-krystals-break-up.htm in other interviews]].
*** Jessica's company "BLANC & ECLARE" and how legit/successful it truly is is very flame bait-y. It received heat when it was seen out there is already a Japanese sunglasses company with the same name (however she noted this and changed the company's name to BLANC & ECLARE), and the [[http://kpopkfans.blogspot.ca/2014/10/opinions-turn-against-jessica.html behind the scenes action]] is very shady since Jessica's business partner and boyfriend Tyler Kwon apparently has a pretty bad reputation[[note]]he allegedly used his previous girlfriend Gillian Chung to gain a foothold in the entertainment world and then supposedly discarded her for Jessica, who he then proceeded to follow to all her events[[/note]]. And then the announcement in December 2015 [[http://netizenbuzz.blogspot.ca/2015/12/jessica-reveals-shes-working-on-solo.html that Jessica will be releasing a solo album]], and that Tyler had purchased [[http://media.daum.net/entertain/enews/newsview?newsid=20151207142704870 Clear Company]], home to Playback (a group which SNSD has publicly supported).
*** On the other hand, B&E has become for many neutral fans and observers the most likely explanation for Jessica's booting. Jessica's interest in a fashion empire had the potential to mess up SNSD's endorsement deals, their main source of income, really badly, as it would be treated as a rival company by sponsors who would either withdraw their offers towards SNSD, or simply not hire Jessica in the photoshoots, which would lower the SNSD brand value significantly and their potential profit. SM Entertainment would not see any cent from Jessica's personal revenue either. Booting Jessica and smear her image to save the product seemed like a pragmatic decision.
*** The announcement that fans could get a copy of the signed album if they purchased ''$350 dollars worth'' of BLANC & ECLARE cosmetics was a little sour for some people.
*** Also, Sooyoung's [[https://www.soompi.com/2018/02/19/girls-generations-sooyoung-designs-clothing-meaningful-cause/ launching a brand of her own called "Beaming Effect"]], which fans were quick to note had the initials "B.E.". Some believed this was a jab at Jessica, others believe it is simply a coincidence.
** Jessica's departure has even brought attention to her sister [[{{Music/fx}} Krystal]]. Krystal has been the subject of several controversies over her sour expression every time she sees [=SNSD=] performing, and even walking off the stage to avoid them. It's worth noting that Krystal supported her fellow f(x) member Sulli leaving the group to continue her dreams, and has criticized Jessica in the past when she didn't agree with her, so it's obvious Krystal definitely thinks Jessica has been wronged in this whole fiasco. She even walked hand to hand with Jessica in W Korea Event, just to show her support publicly.
*** Krystal's groupmates Sulli, Amber and Luna, however, have all continued to show nothing but admiration and respect for SNSD, so make of that what you will.
** [=SNSD=] used to sell a sisterly/bff image to the fans, nicknamed "the Soshi bond", which was pretty much destroyed after Jessica's departure and the circumstances around it. Despite the "reveal", some [[https://a.disquscdn.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/2528/4415/original.jpg members]] still mention they believe in the bond, leading to some nasty backlash from some fans for their perceived insincerity.
** [[http://www.asianjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/TiffanyTylerTheCreator1-575x382.jpg This picture]] of Tiffany being roughly hugged by Music/{{OFWGKTA}} leader Tyler, the Creator led to many allegations and outcries that Tyler had sexually harassed her; these were settled rather quickly, with lots of people complaining on how they thought Tyler was getting flak for his color.

Her neglecting of Seohyun in [=TaeTiSeo=] variety appearances to bait [=TaeNy=] shippers has not gone without backlash by international fans either.

Did she do wrong when it was revealed she lied to her fans about her instagram posts, or were the fans too possessive of a human being? Is her voice as good as it has always been or has it become raspy and unstable? Is her stage attitude unprofessional or are things taken out of context? Was her "anti-fan hunt" reasonable or is this a sign of instability?

** The reaction to [=TaeTiSeo=] getting their own reality show "The [=TaeTiSeo=]", which debuted before their second mini album "Holler", was very split. Some Sones felt this is an extremely stupid move especially after Taeyeon's dating scandal, and were tired of all the attention being focused on those three (especially Tiffany, whose alleged attention-seeking tendencies were turning her into the black sheep of the group), while others didn't see a problem with it, saying it's good that Taeyeon isn't shying away from being in the spotlight.

*** Before that, albeit very cautiously worded, [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Tiffany wished Jessica well on her solo debut stating that "some people have been working very hard".]] This also rocked the fandom as most people believed that Tiffany was one of the rumoured members who had bad blood with Jessica. Some saw this as a breath of fresh air and a possible stop to the fandom war and others saw this as Tiffany being shady and petty, refusing to even refer to Jessica by name.

She then wrote another apology letter, which also wasn't accepted by netizens.



*** There are also rumours of discord swirling around Tiffany, as some fans have noticed that certain members [[https://vine.co/v/eF6mXgJzIET have been caught rather openly]] showing their their exasperation and frustration with her. Of particular note is [[https://gfycat.com/IgnorantUnequaledKentrosaurus Taeyeon]] ([[http://www.asianjunkie.com/2015/09/09/this-is-so-stupid-sooyoung-is-not-a-fan-of-tiffanys-high-notes-either/ and later Sooyoung's]]) showing visible distaste for Tiffany's high notes. Taeyeon was also seen visibly rolling her eyes at Tiffany after the latter requested that Taeyeon join her in praying onstage.
*** This is a good reason why Jessica's departure has split [=SONEs=] in regards to Tiffany - many say if someone had to leave the group, it would have been better if it was BaseBreaker Tiffany (who many feel "adds nothing to the group", and has a very controversial voice/singing style) than Jessica, who was arguably a better singer (although she has a very polarizing voice herself). Arguments get nasty since [=SONEs=] have noticed the person who profits the most from Jessica's departure is Tiffany. Other members such as Sooyoung, Yoona and Sunny have profited somewhat from her departure too (mostly by getting more lines and screen-time), but they have escaped the hate because they have been mostly stuck in the background during their time in the group, and they put effort into trying to make up for Jessica not being there, while Tiffany's ad-libs and "raps" have always been controversial.

WMG from fans range from them getting into a fight to Tiffany stealing Taeyeon away. Has also sort of become a fandom inside joke. Officially sunk ever since Taeyon was revealed to be dating Exo's Baekhyun.
