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.


If you narrow-minded asshats want to label me an antifan or what the hell ever because I criticize Ayu for something that I feel wasn't executed well, go right ahead. I don't need any validation from you. I know that my qualms are legitimate and if I had to choose being able to analyze her work from different angles or being a blindly-loyal stan that just wants to crawl up Ayu's ass and stay there, I'd choose to stay the way I am, any day of the week. It doesn't mean I'm negative. It means I have brain cells.

As far as Timmy's response on twitter goes, he's an absolute idiot for saying anything about it in the first place, and his "ohmygod I was sooo drunk" excuse is the oldest one in the book. Really now? Come on. Stick to your day job, Timmy. Oh wait, I forgot...you're not good at that, either.
