. @sweetbtstea has a lot of informative threads. Regarding mantis behavior, there are some threads of her I'd recommend to read beforehand.
First is this one: https://twitter.com/sweetbtstea/status/1239243024116387840

And this one is a compilation of "tinfoil hat time" threads by @sweetbtstea that might be useful to give you perspectives on BT5 antis, solo stans, mantis, and other people who tend to project their emotional needs to BT5. https://twitter.com/sweetbtstea/status/1239244429531250688
Based on my own observation as a quite new ARMY (one year old by Apr 2020) who was almost brainwashed by BT5 mantis in Twitterverse, besides calling Big*Hit a "capitalist" company, they also like using these words to intimidate people/ to sound smart: https://twitter.com/BKV_you/status/1250384528692011008
Some of you who have engaged w/ BT5 mantis might have responded by saying "Why did BT5 extend their contracts then if they're mistreated (like you're narrative)?"
Well, this is what they usually said based on my own observation: https://twitter.com/BKV_you/status/1250356248601485313

And these are usually the other answers mantis use whenever they're asked "Why BT5 still extend their contract".... https://twitter.com/BKV_you/status/1250383244027027457
While solo antis love calling ppl who disagree w/ them "OT6", mantis love calling those kind of people "company stan".
To them, the ideal "ARMY" is people like them, who think the biggest threat to the artist is their own agency. To mantis, "company stan" is aimed as insult.

In case you want to do some "social distancing" from mantis (and solo antis), you might want to avoid these kinds of tweets: https://twitter.com/BKV_you/status/1250678867066359808
Since mantis and solo antis are often not a part of ARMY (they often trash talk ARMY though), it won't be surprising if BT5 comeback being one of their favourite moments to shine: https://twitter.com/BKV_you/status/1250679269421756418
Another example of interactions with manti, accord. to @YTDN_ , involving their claim that eventho BT5's parents are involved in the decision-making process (which was admitted by BH in their statement), to mantis, it is not like that: https://twitter.com/YTDN_/status/1250397529415520256
I've seen some mantis also brought up their "experience" of working in a Korean company and having a bad boss there, hence ALL Korean companies are just BAD to them. Some of them low-key wanted the boys to move to the US though

BTW
The examples of mantis behavior in prev tweets might sound ridiculous/ logic-defying, esp with me providing no evidence for it (e.g. screenshots, etc.).
It's OK. I respect whatever ur choice is. This thread will stay here as a note to myself as a former victim of mantis.

To be brutally honest, IDK why most mantis I met are maknae line-biased.
Jim/in-biased mantis love commenting abt his kinesio tape/ past injury. JK-biased mantis obv love bringing back that famous Burn The S/tage scene. Meanwhile Ta/e's mantis..... https://twitter.com/BKV_you/status/1250637331670818817

Lifestyle-related contents are what mantis would 'love' to object.
I remember mantis called out BH for not taking care of the boys after they saw those fast foods on the table. Worse when antis picked their twts to bash Ta/e for eating fries with ketchup. https://twitter.com/joonseye/status/1252726520323477506?s=19

This twt highlights some reminders inspired by the big Twitter drama on BT5 MOTS Tour merch on April 27.
Mantis, solo antis, and sas/aengs actually have same mission. They'd want us to hate our fave's agency, despite how easily-solved the problem can be. https://twitter.com/personafy_/status/1255378246083977217

Something I experienced today:
Mantis will guilt-trip by calling us "privileged" when we told them happy ppl working in a company under a good contract actually exist. They will say "There are ppl who are trapped by their own contract. And I didnt see BT5 being immune to that."

A lot of mantis are actually "broke ARMYs" in disguise. So be careful with their financial-based emotionally deprived projection esp during this high unemployment rates due to pandemic.
Some mantis just want to guilt-trip us for paying BT5 contents too. https://twitter.com/BKV_you/status/1250618306073001985
