>>104281477Yep. Regardless of what the nature of it could end up being, show up, vibe, and hopefully enjoy it. I hope that those subset of fans who've been holding disproportionately high expectations with regard to the events and opportunities for the boys despite the realities pertaining to certain metrics and circumstances will all show up to put their time and money where their mouths are.
There have been numerous streams that I've tuned into where I've wondered "Where is everyone?" or "Come on we could definitely do much better", primarily when those streams involved things like participating in an external tournament, a milestone or special event celebration, or an "out of the ordinary" stream where clearly a lot of time had been spent on preparation and/or had been hyped up. I've also felt this way at some real life events as well that I've shown up to. It shouldn't have gotten to the point where it feels as though one event feels is a "make or break" situation.
I know we all have life responsibilities and other hobbies, and I don't necessarily want to tell people to potentially prioritize a group of streamers over other things they could be doing in their lives, but at some point a reckoning will come where this fanbase collectively decides whether it wants to be the more relaxed kind (which is probably healthier but does mean that their oshis will have smaller and less opportunities) or step up and go towards the kind of "hardcore" path that makes more and greater opportunities possible.
I don't want to shame people and I know the boys wouldn't want anyone to guilt-trip people with regard to their level of support, but people can't demand to have their cake and eat it too and we just can't keep having for example whining about the lack of 3D concerts/lives/sponsorships/etc or perceived "unfairness against the branch" against a backdrop of many streams having less than 1K ccv or multiple talents participating in an external tournament collectively garnering less than 2K ccv. I'm not saying that everyone should devote their lives to showing up to every stream or event nor is it healthy to do so, but that I think the fanbase as a whole does have the potential to significantly improve with regard to "showing up for the moments that count". It's perfectly fine if some people don't have time to tune in much, as long as they don't feel entitled to things or get upset that certain things don't happen.
