What did LOONA even do to get the fanbase that they got?
Okay I know Loona goes under ODD EYE CIRCLE or ARTMS now, and I think Chuu's a soloist but I'm just gonna call them Loona for this because it's the most well known name they have.
Anyways, I'm wondering but what did Loona even do to get the fanbase that they have? I know some of the insane Orbits have died down now but back then, Loona was known to have one of the most rabid, weird, and toxic fanbase for some reason. I understand with groups like Blackpink and BTS since they are very popular, but Loona isn't even on that level and they are known to have some of the craziest fans for whatever reason.
Back then I remember Orbits just commenting "STAN LOONA" on almost everything. Things not even related to Kpop in any way shape or form had Orbits just spamming STAN LOONA for some reason. Even on other Kpop posts nowadays, I still somehow come across comments on group pages like NCT with Orbits talking about stanning Loona.
It got even worse that some Orbits back then would be commenting Loona based things on actual posts about serious topics. I remember people posting about celebs that passed away, or something along those lines and I would still see Orbits commenting "Well... maybe if you stanned Loona", which I know is a joke but commenting this on actual serious topic posts was just so baffling to me.
But not even just commenting STAN LOONA on posts, but Orbits in general are known to make such strange memes. On Instagram I came across and account called "Loona_periodblood_tracker" or something along those lines and there are many, many Loona based accounts that have some unhinged username and posts like this. I find it even funnier that the comment sections on said posts are just full of the most random shit I've seen, stuff not even relating to the group and it sounds like a bunch of people going through something together.
So I'm wondering, is there a reason onto why Loona had such crazy fans? Because I genuinely feel bad for the girls, they did nothing wrong and got all of these people representing their fandom.
