Fanbases policing themselves is necessary to maintain its' health. In this instance, we - as Pippa viewers - do it in the form of pointing and laughing at the retarded actions of a handful of her regular viewers, Xynchro and JL7ten being the prime examples.Pippa may be my oshi and I like her a lot, but that isn't gonna stop me from shitting on JL7ten, Xynchro (Low Effort Clips) or whoever the hell whenever I please. If she dislikes that so be it, it's not like any of us are friends with her.
If community members aren't called out when they do extremely dumb shit, and if there's zero negativity or backlash to said stupid actions from them, their behavior becomes normalized to the newbies, and the result would be people thinking that Xynchro's video preaching at her over interacting with E-Drama or JL7's old trick of literally spamming to try and steer stream topics when he personally doesn't like something is good and acceptable behavior. It isn't and shouldn't be acceptable behavior. Completely ignoring these things would be how communities crumble into pure and complete cancer, and as such, the calling out of retards has to happen for the good of everyone, even if the effect we specifically have might be negligible-- it still must be said. I assume she understands that. Hell, even /pcg/ turned on that insufferable Xynchro video, called it discordfag garbage, and archivefag apologized for ever having it featured on stream.
It's not like we come at this stuff from the perspective of being outsiders or newfags. A decent chunk of us, or at least myself, have been here and watching since right near debut (in my case, 5 days after). It's not an attack on her community, it's members of her community, who regularly watch streams and have participated in discussion for a long time, calling out bad behavior and lolcow-tier shitters when we see it. Simple as.
