I'm reading these posts stretching back weeks and wondering how the Aftyn defenders feel about her now in the context of what Mai has going on. I had to battle with other simps in this discussion thread and the Aftyn thread about how Aftyn should have been left in peace and that she has the right to pause her Patreon as much as she likes while leaving her subscribers downtrodden over such an abrupt departure without notice - which I noted involved bad business practices and treats customers like shit. And do you want to tell me one is better/less evil by comparison and they have the right to piss off customers because they're human beings and life happens? Subscribers don't subscribe to creators because of their chaotic and unpredictable lives, there's an expectation of reliable and well-communicated content with a possible schedule provided. When there's a failure to meet demand/expectations, it's simply good business to offer some official communication even if personal circumstances are getting in the way. Cry me a river over Mai's mental health issues or Aftyn falling in love with a chud.
In short, Aftyn quit seemingly because she got her money and fell in love, pissing off a lot of her devotees. Mai maybe quit because of reasons still being debated, but by comparison, made a whole lot of noise about maybe kinda sorta doing certain kinds of content and then falling off the face of the Earth - leaving her subscribers wondering if her content was forthcoming but eventually if she was considering getting back to work.
My previous feelings from long ago are unchanged. The Aftyn and Mai defenders are deluding themselves if they want to recycle their own previous arguments.
Edit: OK, lurker
Ajsid321, let's hear your awesome counterarguments in what I assume favors Mai and Aftyn.
