Japanese YouTuber Ikechan faced widespread criticism after posting a vlog about an Air India flight with a caption describing it as "packed with Indians" and "bad Air India," which many found offensive and insensitive, especially due to an original thumbnail perceived to reference last year's Air India crash. While Ikechan later changed the thumbnail and stated no harm was intended, social media users accused her of stereotyping India and trivializing the tragedy. The controversy sparked debate about cultural sensitivity and online representation.
