Having been around for a long time now, I'd say that it is not exaggerated by any means. There are times in the last few years that I wondered whether or not this was still an Ayu fan forum. It even caused some people to leave temporarily who were fans because it got real toxic.

It's lessened in recent years especially after A ONE and her 'return to form' and because of less users posting here in general since there isn't much to talk about while she's touring and she's almost always touring nowadays.

The thing about having opinions is that it goes both ways. If you say something someone doesn't agree with, you may get a reaction if it gets to a point where they want to say something. The issue here is not that people are complaining since that has happened since back in 2003 or even before then, but that there's somehow this strange attachment people have to Ayu despite being repulsed or disgusted by nearly everything she's putting out in a certain period. Like... perhaps step away from Ayu for a bit if every time she does anything, she disappoints you?

Whatever the case is, if we all agreed, things would be boring, but at the same time, I would prefer people liking things as a whole since it makes for more of a calmer forum. I make liberal use of the ignore list just in case, but that can only do so much.

Rewatching Mad World's video, when she becomes made up, it seems to be invoking CAROLS a little bit.
