[Nessa]

I'm sorry if my critical assessment of a behavior I find really irritating on this board is rude to you. I'm not being condescending, you're adding that inflection as you read it. People are all allowed to go on about how they want Ayu back with Nagase, and I'm allowed to point out how weird and obsessive the frequency of which it occurs is on a board I've been visiting for 8 years now.

I know you just rezzed this thread, but did you not read some of the assertions people are making? That her music was better when she was with Nagase, that he was her muse. If he was her muse, she wouldn't be able to write at all without him there to inspire her. She couldn't have written about the lost love, any of that. It's saying her music after they broke up isn't as good. To me, that's insulting. That diminishes the amazing emotional capacity Ayu has to share with us. Her talent is not the product of some man, and her greatest music wasn't written because she had one. She did it all, she had those emotions, she experienced every dazzling moment of it herself. I think this is a horrible assertion, so I'm going to say so. To go to such lengths and connect such strange dots to come up with such a belittling conclusion is obsessive. It's also somewhat misogynistic, but I wont go there.
