If you wanna spend your money on akasupas and buying ALL of the merch, because you want to support your oshi - that's great, that's fine.
But if you spend your money on your oshi because you hope they will take notice of you, you specifically, then please take a step back and realise that the talent cannot reciprocate your feelings and they will never, ever be your close friend or anything more. They are a real person putting on a role to make content, they are not your friend.
Please remember that your real life comes first and if you become a simp or a gachikoi, you need to distance yourself because it's not a healthy place to be both mentally and financially.
in my humble opinion, otaku who obsess over their oshi need to deal with their personal problems and they are the majority of what makes idol culture so toxic. Loveshy men who never developed a healthy way to deal with social interactions. I feel sorry for them.
