i think it's important to remember that your oshi is a person too outside of the content they put out. it's okay to want more from someone u support, and it's okay to feel disappointed when things don't go as planned, but i hope we don't become so focused on what we're not getting that we forget there's an actual person on the other side of the screen 🫠 not everything happens according to schedule. people get sick, get busy, have difficult days, and sometimes life gets in the way of things they genuinely look forward to doing themselves. a missed stream or a period of inactivity doesn't automatically mean someone has stopped caring! sometimes, things simply don't work out the way we intend them to 🥹 there's a difference between holding someone accountable and making them feel like their efforts don't count. u can express disappointment, offer feedback, and want someone to do better without being so rude about it! i think we sometimes forget that criticism can be constructive without having to be discouraging someone can acknowledge where they've fallen short and still be trying their best–both things can be true!! i just hope we remember to give our oshis a little grace, because their efforts shouldn't only matter when they meet our expectations. they're people too!!! and they deserve a little understanding while they figure things out!! 🙏
