I wouldn't know why that thought would occur to people, because I myself have never said this. You may get a more knowledge-filled response asking those that have but:

Personally, I support all luné who choose to boycott hybe (UMG) too, as well as waterbomb, sprite endorsement schedules etc. Some luné will buy albums secondhand, which I'm sure will have its own moral dilemma arguments still between people. Or similar to what I did during Samidare era, was unaware about UMG and promptly donated double the album amount to Palestinian gofundme's after knowing.

I imagine there's still luné who are unaware about UMG (which IS possible, for example I had not seen any tweets about it myself until after Samidare albums were on my tl...so I think those not following anyone who speaks about it may not see those, but waterbomb boycott was very loud in lunéville so may have seen that - hence loudness regarding waterbomb/sprite & not UMG)

Basically idk, there could be a variety of reasons why someone would think that. Ask them if you're comfy doing so 💛

I wasn't going to respond to these, but if anyone else in the future ever wonders why I don't post much about issues that arise, let me make this clear:

• firstly, you don't need to engage in disagreements with other fandoms to prove your love for your group, if that's not your thing 💛

I personally prefer to do things in the background
- concerns about credit given? I email the company & look for emails of choreographers, producers, etc. and ask politely if they can give me any info about the way creditation worked. I like to be informed of the process BEFORE stating any opinions
- uncomfortable clips being spread/false info? I dm the op directly and inform them politely, before asking for it to be taken down/corrected.

I like to think most people don't have bad intentions & would be willing to learn 🥰 if they don't respond well, I report and disengage 💛 and then I usually post things I love about the group/member and the rightful acknowledgements 🥰

also, as someone who experiences mental health struggles, and works in the field, some of you truly need to remember that the tweets you make that you think someone won't see?? they might. other people might. and they all matter.
I saw some horrid things said during the last disagreements & I personally will never engage with that kind of thing
