While we all feel and believe in various levels that we got to know the cast over many years of watching their content and talking to them on the boards, the truth of the matter is that we dont. We know very little when it comes to the actual relationship between the cast as well as the internal private matters of their group such as the full strugles of what they have to go through each day.
On the internet we dont necesseraly share everything with everyone, specially private matters. TTV is quite transparent when it comes to business side of their relations and interactions (the interactions with fans are genuine enough to not feel like an automated response that you would aquire from less concerning groups and bussinesses). But if you factor in a situation where private behind the scenes relations are concern, then its not just a matter of bussiness anymore. Private matters are rarely understood by the majority of people outiside of the circle, since we all have a very destiled perception of who they are and what they do and thats just the reality of private relations on the internet and even in real life.
There is no doubt that if we knew the people in a more private way that we might get a way better understanding of their strugles, but as it is with the nature of our the communities relations with the cast, its just not feasable. We would have a very different response to it all of the private info as oppose to if we got to know them privately for a long period.
All we can do is to not worsen the situation with assumptions that can be spread in a harmful way or that can start potentially harmful miscommunications due to very different perceptions and experiences with the matter in question (simply not to start fights over it). Until they constructed a proper way to relay the information to be understood on a community level, we got to respect the private levels of this situation.
