Well people have different motives. And there are plenty of different people. xDDDD
I have a friend who doesn't like Ayu because, "she is too commercial" and he calls her "the doll of commercialism" lol. xDDDD He likes some underground groups and probably thinks that because of mainstream bull**** the beautiful and "pure, uncommercial" underground music doesn't get the attention it needs. I really can't draw the line between them - I listen to a song and if it's good I will listen, regardless of the genre/singer/language. I don't care if it's popular or unpopular performer and I think such situations occur because people have prejudice. ^^
Another annoying thing for people could be overpopularity... In my country nobody knows what jpop is, but in Japan Ayu is overwhelmingly well-known; maybe she has reached something like a godly level, she is basically everywhere - on TV, buillboards, on the number one spot in Oricon, in every PANASONIC ad, promotion of her music and the attention she gets is enormous... So people who believe that other artists are more talented but lag behind because of her, probably feel annoyed. ><
I remember a fansite of a jpop group (which name I will not mention muhaha), where the webmaster was ranting about ayu. He made his way to Japan, and was pissed to see that there was very little to no promotion of his fav group, BUT "ayumi hamasaki was everywhere, flyers, posters and what not". So this illustrates my theory above. lol
If we talk about the common type - trolls that will laugh and say "OMG she is chinese", I don't think they deserve any attention. ^.^ I totally dislike narrow-minded and xenophobic people, but I never get involved into flamewars.
So, If someone talks bad about Ayu, the only thing I do is to show the shocking statistics about her and they get silent ^^. like her sales, a few music videos for over a million dollars each, the records she is always getting in Japan music history and so on and so on. =DDD In other words, I always try to expose as much as I can how worshiped and loved she is, and how their opinion can't change anything about her. And! It always works. ^________^
I wrote a lot, gomen. XDDDDD
