Aww, yeah, that does suck. I guess I assumed it was mostly people requesting it but for sure, the more there are, the more overwhelming and like an instruction or demand it seems. Even if people aren’t from countries where English is the main language but it’s the overlap language they can understand, they can hope the fans translate and if not, just, that’s not for us then.
Like, that really weighty question about how to be respectful as straight allies, which, I understood the answer precisely because they answered in English and I really did like their response, but it was clear they struggled a bit finding the right words to convey these very precise, sensitive sentiments and it was a bit unfair on them, in that sense.
I don’t really know how to resolve it, though, each fan is acting as an individual, they just want to understand and communicate and in turn, Barb and Maca want to please them. It’s not like that person asked that the response be in English (I don’t think, anyway), so. I guess, just, be cognizant of the situation and dynamics and be respectful. 😡
