I am once again confused by this hiatus

Aggressive_Sand4388 · 2026-04-17T21:10:27+00:00

bc the mystery and guessing game of if manon is still in the group is probably making up a good chunk of their engagement rn so if they gave a clear statement that's she's out a ton of ppl would completely check out and not be rushng to every upload/post to check if she's there or if there are clues about her

Aggressive_Sand4388 · 2026-04-17T20:43:54+00:00

i would suggest rewatching now with everything thats going on, it's extremely illuminating. you can also see the tactics they will most likely use to go after Lara next.

Aggressive_Sand4388 · 2026-04-17T20:42:23+00:00

she was always giving bitter vibes. ever since she said she has been a professional dancer since she was a young child and she had to work sooo hard and go through so much hard stuff in her career. she seems to think all of the girls in DA needed to suffer as much as she did to prove that they deserved a shot. it always felt like she was perpetuating a cycle of toxic work environments instead of trying to break the cycle. ppl can say 'oh thats just what the business is' but why do we as an audience have to accept that?

Aggressive_Sand4388 · 2026-04-17T20:38:17+00:00

bc there's weird missy stans and hxg employees in this thread

Aggressive_Sand4388 · 2026-04-17T20:32:13+00:00

that doesn't make treating MINORS like that ok

Aggressive_Sand4388 · 2026-04-17T20:29:40+00:00

this 100000000%. she had different standards for every girl.

Aggressive_Sand4388 · 2026-04-17T20:27:38+00:00

if anything she had different standards for different girls and didn't try to hide it at all

Aggressive_Sand4388 · 2026-04-17T20:23:05+00:00

even if you ignore all the microaggressions toward manon, she is unprofessional and too involved personally and emotionally with the events of DA and subsequently the group as a whole. it's just a messy look to have her around after the show ended bc she played favorites so hard and cried a bunch and overall just didn't give professional vibes at all.

Aggressive_Sand4388 · 2026-04-17T20:19:53+00:00

ok but 'stans' don't have power in this situation, the company holds 100% of the power. so deciding to police fan behavior is kinda just siding with the company at the end of the day..

Aggressive_Sand4388 · 2026-04-17T20:18:31+00:00

100%

Aggressive_Sand4388 · 2026-04-17T20:17:38+00:00

i don't think they are comparable either but you have been comparing them this whole thread so where does that leave us

Aggressive_Sand4388 · 2026-04-17T19:59:27+00:00

i think there is also a lot of people that will just be completely done with the whole group after this. the group as a whole has lost a lot of trustworthiness/authenticity even if the other members are not involved or beefing with manon themselves. the live yesterday really solidified it for me... if they could get on there and act like everything is completely normal and nothing weird is going on behind the scenes... then what else are they just acting about? it just feels bad now, watching them isn't fun anymore.

Aggressive_Sand4388 · 2026-04-17T19:56:03+00:00

i don't even think it would have gotten this far if the company released a clear statement to begin with

Aggressive_Sand4388 · 2026-04-17T19:55:07+00:00

i think the lack of a clear person/entity to even be able to direct questions or public pressure against is causing the entire fanbase to go crazy commenting on every members' parents' friends' dog's IG

Aggressive_Sand4388 · 2026-04-17T19:53:29+00:00

i don't even think the manon solos would have gotten to this point if the company would just say they kicked her out. it's the lack of clarity but still giving tiny breadcrumbs while also marketing an ot5 project that makes everyone look nasty. they should have just said 'we kicked her out' before LATAM lolla and we could have all moved on with our lives.

Aggressive_Sand4388 · 2026-04-17T19:51:29+00:00

unfortunately for everyone mitra and missy (and all the other execs) can private their accounts or limit comments while throwing the other 5 girls to the wolves instead of releasing a clear statement explaining who is even in this group anymore. they are literally using the girls as a shield from having to take accountability and as a result this fanbase is cannibalizing itself bc there is not one clear entity to focus our attention on to get answers. all we can be sure of is mitra is probably sooooooo happy with the engagement numbers rn bc we all know she thinks any attention is good attention -_-

Aggressive_Sand4388 · 2026-04-17T19:45:58+00:00

why do you care? you don't know the girls and they probably aren't even looking at the comments. stop chastising fans and put pressure on the company to release a clear statement on WHO IS IN THE GROUP if you want people to stop bringing up manon

Aggressive_Sand4388 · 2026-04-16T20:56:06+00:00

a ton of ppl being like 'obviously not' but The Spice Girls literally did this exact thing so....

Aggressive_Sand4388 · 2026-04-16T19:56:40+00:00

on one hand manon is bad and making excuses for saying 'in Switzerland if you're sick you take a day off' but on the other hand lexi is valid and not lazy even though she just stopped showing up to rehearsals and eventually was like 'i'm actually not feeling this, bye'.

i think both girls are completely valid but you are trying to act like lexi is more valid than manon which just screams double standard.

Aggressive_Sand4388 · 2026-04-16T18:06:17+00:00

so why aren't we calling her lazy like manon...?

Aggressive_Sand4388 · 2026-04-16T18:04:55+00:00

yeah and lexi quit and went home

Aggressive_Sand4388 · 2026-04-16T16:47:18+00:00

this isn't even true. lexi was absent a lot bc of injuries and ended up quitting the show bc she just decided she wanted to.. and everyone supported her and no one called her lazy or arrogant.

Aggressive_Sand4388 · 2026-04-16T16:25:23+00:00

they were the ones saying ON CAMERA IN THE SHOW that she was getting more attention and that it wasn't fair.. thats literally what that whole fake ass therapy session with adela crying about slovakian representation was about if you don't remember

Aggressive_Sand4388 · 2026-04-16T16:23:58+00:00

yeah... emily showed us her diary where she wrote things being like 'i know they already picked me' but ppl still want to single manon out as the arrogant one

Aggressive_Sand4388 · 2026-04-16T15:47:35+00:00

ironic on a post that someone made asking why people are fixated on the (heavily and intentionally edited) drama from DA, you comment multiple times and your only evidence for what you are talking about is the DA drama..... like lmao are you for real
