after sitting with the results of world scout and witnessing the responses i have much to say about the public reception and treatment of Sakura
we live in an era of social media where people are incapable of stifling their negative opinions and insist on making them known at the expense of immensely disrespecting the things and people they dislike
people don’t recognise the world is far bigger than their takes
Sakura is so so young, FIFTEEN years of age, and everyone is disturbingly comfortable with insulting her. do these ppl not disgust themselves ?? she has immense potential, is already showing improvement, and seems super kind
thinking Ayana should have won is not inherently wrong, but putting others down to “uplift” their favourites isn’t uplifting them at all ?? they would DESPISE these people for the things they say
as a society we need to un-normalise being a sore loser & place more of an emphasis on if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all, not every thought you have is some profound shit that needs to be shared publicly
to wrap this up positively tho, i’m super excited for Saint Satine’s debut and have a lot of faith in them !! they have soo much potential and talent 🙂↕️
