>>74210931No Ruffian would ever do anything to make them sad, that is true, but the amount of EFFORT they put into it? Almost no ruffian would come even close of working as hard for them. They'll put on shock collars but complain about it behind their backs, they'll give them a bunch of money they had lying around anyway. There's not that much real effort.
And the counter argument to that, is, obviously, "but they're not doing that just for their ruffians, it's their dream", and then you have the answer to the rest of your post. Of course their dreams come first, they're working like hell to achieve them, they worked like hell for a decade+ to get here.
Picrel doesn't get to stand in their way. They do love their fans and they do hope they'll be excited and with them all the way, but they're not sacrificing their dreams for the ones who won't. They know there will still be enough ruffians with them, even if some faces they hold dear walk away.
They just received news of one of their all time favorite idol groups disbanding after 16 years. This naturally prompts them to look back and think on what they achieved so far, and where they see themselves in the X years remaining for their own journey to reach 16 years. I guarantee they don't come out of this reflection with a weakened resolve and willingness ot give up on anything just to settle for playing games for an audience.
