Delirium-Zer0, I'm with you on this.

For all I know, Ayu can be as nasty or psychotic as she wants to be in real life, can post politically incorrect messages on Twitter, can be as offensive as she wants to be, can insult her fans, can eat baby unicorns. I really don't care, so long as she delivers the goods. To me, her only job is to make good music and perform and present said music. Only the creative work matters, not what she does on Twitter. Who cares if she's acting "cool" or "mature"? I pay for her music and to see her perform, not her tweets.

Again, people here take her too seriously. Okay, you look up to her, that's fine, but don't expect her to act like Ruth Bader Ginsburg or Malala Yousafzai the whole time. She's a pop singer, for crying out loud.

Before the age of social media, I wonder how "fans" would react to the real personalities of their "idols". Many of the greatest artists and writers were horrible people. Picasso, for instance. And the immaturity of that man far exceeds anything that any of the posters here can dream of.
