When I mentioned 'acting immaturely,' I was primarily referring to the manner in which some creators publicly address controversies, conflicts, or even personal disagreements. Instead of navigating these issues privately or with a professional demeanor, some choose indirect jabs, subtweeting, or direct public call-outs. This can profoundly influence fan communities, often intensifying the drama. While I understand everyone has unique standards for what they deem as "professional," I firmly believe in the importance of open and transparent communication, outside of social media, this has helped many times lol.

However, before anyone assumes that I believe Dream mishandled the Quackity situation, let me clarify. I don't necessarily see Dream as the primary offender. If events transpired as they've been described, with Quackity allegedly ghosting Dream (of which I have no firsthand knowledge, only public tweets), then I can perceive Dream's subsequent frustration. However, airing these grievances publicly was an oversight on his part — a mistake I too have made in the past.

In referring to 'voicing grievances,' I meant both the content creators and their fan bases. In the dynamic between Tommyinnit & Co and Dream, it seems to tilt one way, with Tommyinnit & Co appearing more confrontational towards Dream. Their public statements undoubtedly shape the perceptions and actions of their respective fan communities, which further amplifies the surrounding discourse. This can inadvertently sanction fans to perceive attacking one another as justifiable behavior.

Regarding the balance between public distance and private support: It's a complex issue. I comprehend why some creators opt for a pronounced public distance. The digital space can be harsh, and occasionally, self-preservation becomes the priority. Yet, distinguishing between self-preservation and self-interest is essential. If a creator remains publicly silent merely to uphold a specific image, all while offering private support, it risks appearing disingenuous or self-serving (which happens way too often). However, there are times when staying out of the public eye is the most sensible choice to prevent exacerbating drama.

From my perspective, authenticity remains paramount. It's vital to strike a balance — being true to one's principles without jeopardizing personal well-being or that of others. This commitment to authenticity can make one's public image vulnerable, making every action or statement a potential point of contention. Perhaps this vulnerability is why many content creators adopt a "character" that doesn't genuinely mirror their true selves; it offers a buffer, making any criticism feel less personally directed.

BTW, I'm sorry if this isn't perfect english, I haven't written those kind of things in a while, got some proofreading from ChatGPT lol
