slug, this has nothing to do with hypmic and i apologise, but you seem to know about jpn fandom culture. why are private rts on twt considered disrespectful and rude? i have seen many accounts delete because of it :(
It’s for the same reason that PQRTs are considered rude on English Twitter - you don’t know what they’re saying or where your content is going, so people could be talking shit behind your back or reposting. While English Twitter has a big QRT culture (and therefore PQRTs are usually just people making normal comments on locked accounts), Japanese Twitter really doesn’t, so PQRTs are extra likely to be Some Shit. Many Japanese fan artists like having control over where their content goes and don’t appreciate a ton of attention (for a huge, huge variety of reasons - a large followerbase causes a lot of pressure to keep making content, potential legal issues if their work attracts too much attention, more people means more bad actors among the followers, etc.) and so some may delete their accounts and remake if they don’t like the kind of attention they’re receiving on their current account.
