I think it's pretty obvious that western fans would be more susceptible to negative comments....because for most of us, we go more out of our way to be fans compared to her eastern fanbase anyway.
It's something so small, but is so ingrained, it can manifest in many different ways.
and...Playboy photos are great
In their relative world, they're quite classy.
I find the Timmy hate disconcerting. He's barely even done anything tbh...He hasn't even come near the level of Shuya yet imo.
AND he's bridged so many things...and talked to us, and he's never been anything but cool. And now, we figure out, oh, he's a real person with a big personality and opinions, and people can't even handle it.
Just like they probably can't handle Ayu is a real human being. She's not as plastic as she looks okay. Don't like her? idk, go away?
It's like, you know, I like Riri's music. But I hate that *****. So you know what I do? I don't follow her anywhere
Distance, embrace it.
