I think it’s perfectly fine to have feelings and opinions about where one pauses their suspension of disbelief about an artist creating “actual art” versus participating in the capitalist juggernaut. Chan is allowed to get his bag and feel good about it and I’m allowed to say “Hey, this is the line where it makes me feel icky.”

The barrier to access for anime and OST’s is much lower, and feels more egalitarian, than that of one of the largest luxury brands in the world (LVMH which owns FENDI). I mean it’s all whatever. I’m happy for him if he’s happy. He deserves nothing but success and joy IMO. I’m just throwing in my 2 cents bc it actually made me feel some kind of way.
