interesting question.
or it could be made into some question like:
Do hybe stan need to defend all those groups?or they can mock/bash those who are only subsidiary through acquisition? because they're not directly under hybe?
Don't company stans also like each and every group by default? HYBE groups were "adopted" lol so I don't see it as HYBE stan..
I mean maybe with new groups like TXT, EN, Lesserafim, NJ you see some stanning all
But I don't see it with Pledis, Koz, or any other older groups
It is complex lmao
