Let's face it guys. Most of the dislikes are there not because people disliked the program per se, but rather, that they simply hate Adelina for what happened in Sochi, and unfairly so. Not all of the crazies are Korean people but it is also not wrong to say that most of them are Korean judging from the language used in the comments. It will happen no matter how well she skates and it is highly unlikely that they will ever think that their actions are “pathetic” or “creepy”. If internet crazies were capable of empathy and rational thought, we wouldn't have to deal with cyberbullying.
HOWEVER, I feel that the most important thing for us as fans of Adelina is to recognise that the best way to support her is to believe in her, celebrate her achievements and take the higher road. Waging a war on internet crazies will not get us anywhere. Generalising an entire nation will only make it worse (I know that even Mao has Korean fans. )
My only wish for Adelina is for her to skate a program that will make her think, “That was the skate of my life. It doesn't get any better than this.” I don't care how many dislikes or bad comments she gets in it, the most important thing is how she feels about herself.
Thanks for this sunnybear. Beautifully written. And excellent point about Mao having Korean fans, she's known as "wow Mao" over there amongst my Korean friends who also happen to like Yuna.
