With regards to Sonny... it's more that he's trying to tardwrangle and nip issues in the bud before things get out of hand. If you watch Sonny, then you know his chat suffered from emote spamming. Granted, he encouraged it initially by saying to keirei when a new member joined, but that was before gifted memberships opened. As evidenced by his GGS stream, emote spams made chat nigh impossible to use. With him making amendments to the rule that you only respond when he responds, it should in theory diminish the spam. Briskadets are obedient, as seen today when he addressed it, and already chat looked much better.
The RP, personally, was cringe. It was fine the first time; but the fact that the mods rp in prechat, or that donos continued it even when he responded pretty aggressively the 2nd time around (people probably thought he was just joking around) had to be addressed too.
People who tuned in to him often complained that he never acknowledges chat, but tbf, it's hard to talk to a chat that only has emotes and TSKRs. He's trying to create a more conducive and interactive chat by making these changes, and I'm personally very happy about that because more than anything, I want Sonny to have fun and enjoy streaming. I truly appreciate that he doesn't shy away from addressing these issues, and I think that shows just how much he actually cares about his community. It would be very easy for him to continue with the way things were, but he wants to improve, not just himself but the fanbase too. I think that's commendable, and I'm proud to call him my oshi for that.
While I do find it odd how some briskadets/anons have reacted to all of this, their feelings are still valid. More than anything, please take care of yourself anons, and take a break from all of this if you feel it best.
Sorry for the wall of text lmao
