>>75254718Kiara and Fauna are perfect examples of professional responses. "I'm not interested in collabing with Stars but wish them good luck." the end, no weirdness, no drama.
On the other hand Gura and Irys are perfect examples of someone needing 2 hours lecture on how to act professionally, them being afraid to read Stars name out loud and doing weird dances to stay away is just feeding antis since they know they can mention Stars to get them uncomfortable and rile their most moronic fans to attack Stars.
It was extra cringe when Irys (and Lui) did sign up to fucking tourney including Stars and then they were committing mental back flips to claim this is definitely not a collab and they won't talk with guys, why the fuck would you sign up in first place?! My respect for them as pro entertainers was falling faster than Helldivers2 score past 2 days and I don't think they have learned anything from that.
It seems to me that EN branch has big problem teaching fans borders and enforcing them where confident "no", "Don't do that", "I'm interested", I'm not interested" would solve many issues.
