>>38187733What makes all of this whole thing so fucking actually-toxic, is that there is an unspoken incentive for some of the fans to try to one-up the other fans if they see the chance, to try to elevate their status/position/get noticed by their oshi. In which case, they think they'll be liked more by their oshi if they're a pure yesman and shit on any non-yesmen to elevate themselves over them. They want to be front of the pecking order. This also explains shit like Ayame or Rushia.
So, there is incentive for some chumbuds to be yesmen and do everything they can to try to validate Gura no matter how fucking stupid and irrational it is, because in their minds they're winning if they're the last one left anyway, as opposed to actually-being a loser for sticking with an oshi 99% of everyone else thinks went to shit and ditched. They think, it's at this point, they win the game basically. But they don't. They just get either a polite "thank you for supporting me" before the girl quits or worse the girl will finally take off the mask when it doesn't matter anymore and humiliate that last mega-ultra-simp (happens with twitch thots etc).
