it's cool that you discovered a word that lets you call Asahi Lina unnecessarily dramatic and attention-seeking in a way that lets you believe you "never gave an oppinion on the matter" and that you're just neutrally observing a scientifically studied phenomenon!
wait no "cool" isn't the right word now is it
