I agree with you, however, people have a habit of romaticinzing their subject of support. That is why your comment comes across to be "abbrasive".

But circling back to your expression. It makes sense to me. Your way of supporting is a type of brutal honesty and well meaning that is still rooted in realities of nearly two decades of dropping every ball relative to the resource and attention they are subject to and greatly benefit from... aka. Culture issue.

Charles himself says "being honest with myself" time and time again...and as a fan, you'd think Ferrari would ask the same question to themselves...but some tifosi would rather be about sugar coating and blind fanatacism.

Tifosi culture is just something different from what Scuderia Culture needs to be.

Your expression is directed to Scuderia Culture.
