>>74533175>In my case, these changes don't change much about how I see and interact with them, even if I'm far from being fluent in Japanese or being able to catch a stream during most of their dayMy biggest concerns aren't exactly WITH the JP streams themselves, anon. It's them going against multiple things they've said in order to get subs WITHOUT even addressing any of this at all.
If they openly said, "we're sorry, we truly believed what we said early on, but we need to do this in order to reach our goals" but instead they went halfway and said "we understand if you leave" without even addressing ANY of the stuff I mentioned.
The problem is that they built themselves up one way for the past 8 months, which has been consistent and true, only to break all of that now with no acknowledgment whatsoever. If they went this direction early on, then their actions now wouldn't be anything other than "Oh its just FuwaMoco being FuwaMoco!"
What's funny is I actually HOPE that Golden Week is successful for them, and they do explode in popularity. It would be an extremely grim future if they go back on everything they've said and ruin their character only to not reach their goal by August. Breaking trust, disappointing some fans(I acknowledge it isn't the majority), and making their word/promises mean nothing at all would be fucking depressing for them if they don't achieve their dreams.
That's it. That's all I have to say on the matter. I won't post anymore, and I won't continue this at all after this. Hopefully, you guys have halfway decent threads soon, and those of you who don't mind that they've gone back on who they are never leave them.
