Last year a-nation... the MSta live... and now this... Can't get it. I'm starting to believe that Ayu's western fanbase is just plain retarted.
The word retarded is really inappropriate to use, I'll ignore your use of it for the moment and assume you meant no ill will and move on.

I disagree with you, Ayu and her team can't control an entire fanbase, but they can control how to deal with them. This is why artists have PR personnel who are trained and very well paid. He clearly has no such training and so he should not be speaking to her fans. Fans found his response offensive, and they have every right to be upset that some nobody was swearing at them and essentially calling them stupid for not understanding some deep concept for a poorly conceived project. I never said the fans were right if they were rude, I emphasized that he should have restraint and tact. You seem intent on defending his childish outburst, I don't know why. If anything, it seems like you are the one making a mountain out of a molehill by taking some deluded higher moral ground and painting this entire fanbase the same color.

Edit: weren't the fans that freaked out over a nation the Japanese fans?
