haihai, saw your deleted post yesterday abt fansign and it got me wondering. does it rly bother you when the Qs are very blunt so theres not rly much option than to cater towards zerocilas or other ship subfandoms? i mean i too sometimes roll my eyes at them but the joy it brings to us isnt done out of malice and shouldnt be taken as face value. so im wondering why you seem to often get annoyed at them?im not sure if u want to be a spoilsport or maybe to try and remind other shippers that the Qs are very leading etc. nd like i said i, too, sometimes get tired of them but idk if what youre feeling is getting more serious? just my observation which could be totally off^^

hey there. maybe it's because i'm older, maybe it's because i've done my time working in customer service, but i just don't love fansigns and the way they're run (i.e. lack of security and apathy towards the safety of the artist, overconsumption of goods, capitalist greed lol) as much as others do. and sometimes i'll even make a little jokey joke about fansigns on twitter dot com.

look, for fansign answers, i wouldn't say they bother me, no. i DO think it's extremely funny when an idol is given a question and it's like Option A: Date Me/X Member, Option B: Walk Into The Ocean. i mean, you're not giving them a lot of choice there lmao. i can see the humour in that. and then i might even make a tweet where i say, "would you rather kiss a member or EAT BEES." you know.

i try to stay neutral about the topic because i know others like them, though i will call out the fans that are invasive and weird every time. you seem to like fansigns, so go ahead and enjoy them? i don't think it's that much of an issue, haha.
