It’s not a shame to show that and to act as she want to act. The photos are just the representation of how she felt at that moment. Age and gender shouldn’t rule our life. She is a true inspiration for all women and minorities who are afraid to walk the head high and be themselves when they want. You want to ride a unicorn just because you find that fun? Don’t be afraid because you’re 45. Life is too short to care about people’s view who don’t dare to stick out the mold. Fulfill your wishes and you’ll end your life without regrets!

I am all in to read constructive criticism and tend to ignore just opinions like "ugly/bad" and not respond to them although they can be annoying but hey, as sb said, it's a forum so express your views they way you like. And it is okay to react to sb's reaction as long as it's not calling people names.
And honestly, I think it's normal to expect the majority of text here to be positive about Ayu considering it's... forum for Ayumi's fans? So when suddenly there is more complaining it's normal that people who don't wish to read that will react. It's not a general music forum.
And to smuggle sth about social media I think she looked great in the recent picture, just those lips are murderous xD I want to know when we get to see this performance or whatever it was!

Yes exactly, I agree with your whole post

It's quite strange how some people act like it's abnormal to want to read positive views on an artist you're a fan of and to expect fans to respect the artist

. It doesn't mean a person is a stan or only wants to read the positive stuff either. People can share their views good or bad, it's a forum and would be boring without different opinions, but it's when some are obviously trying so hard to make fun of an artist is when it becomes immature. I also suspect that they're subtly trying to get some sort of reaction from some fans just so they can attempt to put them down and say things like "sorry I don't kiss her feet 24/7 like you" when in reality that fan has their own positive and negative opinions about ayu as well.
