>>66496387When I say a scenario where you could know each other irl obviously I am not talking about someone tracking her down at a con with a bunch of Fauna merch and trying to strike up a friendship, obviously that not only wouldn't work but would also be a weird move.
It's more about what you should and shouldn't say as a chuuba that relies on people who have some level of feelings for you paying for your lifestyle. Gently reminding people that it's impossible for you to reciprocate feelings beyond a general sense of affection and gratefulness for your fanbase as a collective is fine if handled well.
Dashing the hopes of all fans by essentially saying the fan/streamer divide "should" never be breached and the second you were ever her fan you had no chance comes off as acting superior, no matter how true it might be in reality nobody wants to hear that. Especially from chumbud prime who was able to befriend her oshi. Letting people have a little hope is not a bad thing even if it will never amount to anything.
