The fake group industry is a "im going to steal the idea of literally anyone and not give credit just because its popular now and I like the idea"
I cannot understand how some people (specifically lost_in_the_dream) can actually accept the fact that the idea that they made is being stolen. It's one thing to be inspired and another to copy. That's why nmixx is hated so much (for those of you who still think it's because of the song). At some point, there are just the "trendsetters" (or the people who actually come up with new things) and the people who just steal ideas.
The diversity is F-. Literally no boy groups except for my group WHITELIST that hasn't even debuted. The amount of dating scandals that have been surrounding them is so unrealistic. They haven't even debuted please give them a break. Please come up with more boy groups if you want that many scandals. Speaking on this topic, the names and faceclaims are so consistent. For those of you who like to join fake groups, please come up with new names/personas and choose different faceclaims. It makes life for us group managers a whole lot easier. I often find names and faceclaims repeating. There are only so many idols in this fake industry, it won't hurt to come up with an individual name.
In addition, (maybe this is just me) if you choose a more experienced more popular idol with a lot of pictures/content as opposed to a rookie who debuted a month ago, I will love you a lot more. It makes our lives easier. I have spent hours trying to find concept photos for those faceclaims that are rookies and it is draining.
Concepts of a group are special. It helps with their individuality and to take that concept and tweak it a tiny bit and use it for yourself is disgusting. This is not official so there is no suing allowed, but there are only so many groups and managers. You can clearly see who the manager was "inspired" by. Do not take a concept that a group already "owns". ex. Enchantress, Fairytales; ROBO:5, Space/Futuristic
Do not make a million groups and then throw them away one by one once you lose interest. Be consistent. Stop switching so much. We don't need a million inactive groups. Think your groups through and promote them once you debut them. I have this problem. My groups, (BLACKLIST, WHITELIST, Hourglass) were all made out of impulse. Once I was over that faze, I was stuck with the responsibility of managing these groups and it was much like a burden.
Im sorry you had to read this, it probably will be deleted soon.
