Are there any ALPHAZ that are playing this game and doing it with XG members? I’m watching the Twice ones on TikTok and they’re hilarious.

I don’t want to rant, but after reading some recent comments about fan reactions about the pay wall, I can understand it’s upsetting and an intentional money grab.

I don’t personally think it’s a good move either, but what I am getting tired of is reading all the, “Simon wouldn’t do this.” “Simon treated the memebers so well and now we don’t know what’s happening.” “AVEX needs to do something. Why aren’t they releasing more content to keep fans engaged if they are taking a break between concert stops?” “Simon wouldn’t let this happen.”

Here’s the thing. Simon messed up. He valued drugs more than what he built. More than the members lives and future. More than his own job. So I don’t hold Simon in the same regard and continually talking about Simon was so good as the CEO and producer and now that he’s gone, the group just isn’t the same and won’t be the same. Well not to rub salt in the wound, but it’s his fault that this is where the group is!

So can we get past the whole Simon on a pedestal and the doom of no one else being able to do what he did. Probably will be different, but I don’t want to think it’s going to be worse. Not until I really see it.

He absolutely effed the company, the employees and the members AND their sister group that was going to debut! So no, I’m not on this Simon train. And a part of me doesn’t want him or C anywhere near the group again. They made their choice and it was a bad one. The only way to move forward is to get past the rhetoric that things were better under Simon and he seems to be the only person that can make the group successful, because it doesn’t do any good to think in hypotheticals when we just don’t know. What we do know is he isn’t in the picture as of now. Let’s stop putting energy into complaining about how things were. They changed because of him! Not AVEX. Him! So I’m going to give the company a little grace because they were given a crappy thing to deal with that they weren’t prepared for.

At this point, AVEX has probably been trying to clean up the mess that was left behind. Trying to retain employees or even ask ones that left to come back. All of this takes time and they’re scrambling. I can’t even imagine how the members are feeling. All I keep hearing are fans complaining of how things used to be and now everything they were spoiled on getting is now not as frequent. Well again imagine how the members feel. I just had to rant. You may not agree with me, but I just hope we can turn the page.
