Aurelie says a number of things which are trivially debunkable and suffers from so-called "social media syndrome" where she dislikes a few people on social media so decides to tar something.

It's not unheard of for a small forum to create fake users or to pay people to post super generic posts. When someone speaks of lots of bad people somewhere, I think of that.

In Japan 'autumn foliage', depending on the reading, is known as 'momiji' (紅葉) or 'kōyō' (紅葉).
Originally the terms referred to any tree that changed colour for autumn, but over time they became synonymous with the maple (楓 'kaede')🍁
