ririmu didnt know wherther to read this marsh mallow or not but she did end up adressing a marsh mallow from another viewer and the marsh mallow it was about another oshi long ago that they follow was selling merchandise and they coudlnt spend much money because that month there was the funeral of a close relative and a lot of things that led to lack of money due to expenses
so during a zatsu after the merch was announce they said that they're low on money for that month so they dont think theyll be able to buy everything, so, later during the stream, the streamer said its their fault for not working hard enough to earn money, and they can earn so much because they actually put the effort unlike them, so it made them feel sad because they know its their fault for actually saying they cant buy it, but they ask if they truly deserve to be destroyed like that just for not being able to buy merch
so, from a streamer's perspective, are fans that dont buy merch supposed to not exist...?
ririmu said that it's hard to say without knowing what kind of streamer that person is, but actually, if they said something like that, then that's their usual style of streaming? the toxic kind of streamer, ririmu told him that they might just hurt themselves by making those comments, but not being able to buy merch is ok, there's a lot of ways to be a fan and show devotion, ririmu would never think that way, so, there's no need to worry about that
then she said regarding if they deserve to be treated like that, she said that their comment led them more easily towards that path of saying something really awful, it triggered them to be mean, so its better to avoid making those kind of comments, even if it felt bad for them, then someone in chat said its terrible for the streamer to say something like that and ririmu agreed but said it could be the style of the streamer, but you shouldnt force yourself to get merch
ririmu ended this marsh mallow reading telling us to be careful too, there's all kind of vtubers, terrible ones too, so you have to decide for yourself which kind you like
