I see almost everyone here can admit that it's about the delivery of the criticism that causes problems. Being rude, disrespectful etc. But I think it's also time to admit that two wrongs don't make a right and I think the other side is wrong too. It does edge on the line of bullying. Some users here form a mob and get this high and mighty, self righteous attitude. Judging and looking down on the entire fandom to which they are included in. Expressing things like, none of us deserve Ayu, the fans are her greatest enemy, you shouldn't be here, you're a hater, you're not a true fan. As if they themselves are perfect and it is everyone else that is the problem.
I honestly just like things better when it's more friendly around here and everyone gets to say what they want and sometimes really interesting discussions can happen about Ayu that are insightful and thought provoking. I don't understand this rule of positivity only. It doesn't make sense to me. This is a forum for fans of Ayu to come here and express their views and get the latest news. If everyone just sat there and worshipped Ayu all day this would be such a boring place. Expecting the majority of the comments to be positive 100% of the time is a bit naive. Sometimes what Ayu does just doesn't get a positive reception. It's that simple. That is normal and shouldn't be held against everyone.
This entire issue keeps coming up more and more frequently and I don't think it's sustainable. Eventually it's going to drive everyone away from this forum and we are already losing active members for years now.
