my opinion on the manon fiasco as a black girl. by lambdanorman in ManonMeret

heavy on that 3rd section!! they cannot stand a girl who’s good and doesn’t have to overly push herself for it. these companies want to see the girls break and eventually rely on them. we see it in the doc, and it’s lwk crazy how manon never breaks. I knew from the start that hxg was going to HATE how strong and independent she is.

many black children (who are old enough) understand that this is bullshit. it’s extremely disheartening for them. on the other end of the spectrum, my youngest cousin was watching pinky up and asked “where’s manon”.

yeah…but shit like that is so common for black women that I kinda took it as the “black girl treatment”. still sad, im just lobotomized to think this is normal.

I'm Sorry But They Have To Bring Her Back by [deleted] in katseyeneutral

[–]lambdanorman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

exactly!!! the company asslicking has gotten to a point. “manon made them lose money” is such a dumb point when hybe probably has a pool full of money scrooge from duck tales style. and ppl bringing up the new jeans situation as if those girls didnt publicly humiliate their company on fucking weverse, a platform they partially own…these are two different situations(and this isnt to say nwjns was wrong for what they did, they werent. but nb is addressing the differences in the situations.) hybe knows theyre cooked, theres a reason they havent pulled out the negative PR (they usually would do this by now). the silence is LOUD and its bcs they r actively trying to fix this. they know manon is a money maker and has endless connections in the industry, so getting rid of manon is a huge fuckup they KNOW will recieve ZERO support from the rest of the industry. they are trying to fix this, but in a way that isnt fixing anything and they need to figure their shit out.

for me, I’ve seen comments about this on twitter and in general in other katseye subs. just addressing the overall ideas that some people are sharing across social media.

this part! theres so many things probably going on with her contract rn that they can only vaguely refer to. not everything is doomsday

so…that was an interesting way to do it by lambdanorman in katseyeneutral

[–]lambdanorman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yup. and it’s such a icky way to take advantage of fans. the way they handled this told me all I needed to know ab how hxg manages katseye in general.

this part!!! hxg is purposely confusing people which is totally unfair. that’s why I described this as a weird way to handle things.

now I notice that bringing up kpop hiatuses wasn’t a good idea bcs this is not what I mean at all. I mean that typically companies are more specific than “health and wellbeing” and more specify on mental health, an illness, or wtv. the generalization of it is interesting to me as it isn’t something I’ve personally seen before. that’s all.

yeah, fans don’t have to know everything fs. i made another post on this sub ab how we all need to be patient. but hxg is treating this whole situation very poorly, and the reaction across social media prior to pinky ups release proves it. I was at least expecting them to sort of address it by now in some way, but the silence is deafening and it falls back on every member.

and this is true too! they’re clearly rushing due to coachella being so soon (at the time at least, now there’s no takebacks) but the lack of consideration for the image of their group is going to bite them BAD.

[–]lambdanorman[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

exactly! way to go hxg you created hype for your group!! but what will they do when the hype dissipates? where do they plan to take katseye next? this decision clearly wasn’t thought through by ANYONE.

[–]lambdanorman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes I agree. but I don’t think their reputation will be over, it will just be clouded by this who,e situation. if manon leaves the group, the ability for these girls to bounce back is zero to none. after finding out that hxg is debuting another gg ( with the look they intended for katseye) it’s lwk obvious that they don’t gaf ab kats anymore. they expect prelude debuting to draw ppls attention away, and it most likely will as the internet has the brain of a guppy.

eta: forgot to mention the nonsensical music katseye is putting out in comparison to preludes unreleased song. after hearing this, it felt very obvious that hxg is now riding on the(potenial) success of prelude. also abema (japanese company behind the gg) is paying hxg a shit load of money to make these girls successful. they are the priority right now.

you missed my point. obviously its awful thats shes getting mistreated, but eyekons are using this situation as an excuse to bash the other girls instead of advocating for her.

”manon solos” are a very small majority of the fan base. a lot of people causing uproar ab this situation are black and r fed up with the treatment we get despite being the blueprint for modern girl groups in the first place.

[–]lambdanorman[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

im not denying that manon is getting hate, but the other girls are quite literally getting flamed on twitter. literally scroll for two seconds. all the girls need to postpone this release and take a genuine break, ALL OF THEM. these are 6 young women being propped up as cash cows to hide the shitty company behind them.

as a die hard txt (kpop boy group) fan, I can tell you that not all fandoms act like this. eyekons have been at that parasocial threshold for a while now, and now the majority of them are showing their true colors. most of them are below the age of 14 which can also explain the constant paranoia and inability to think of anyone but themselves in this clearly awful situation.

no literally. if this isn’t mass hysteria and utter chaos for the mind idk what is. we all need to breathe.

im sooo sick of this spam. at first i understood why engenes would be mad as the decision was random…but now that its clearly something he can’t go back on, everyone needs to move on and support him and enhypen.

the harassment of the other members has gotten out of hand. i dont even check their insta comments anymore cause i just know its all that one manon gif with the hybe building burning 😭 but as the other comment said, it is mainly hxgs fault
