Reader’s Question:
I commented on Shokotan’s post and ended up getting blocked. I admit it might have been a bit extreme, but I was surprised to be blocked for that. Was my comment really wrong? (The post has been deleted.) By the way, I’m not criticizing the fact that I bought Switch2 from a reseller.
Thoughts on Being Blocked by Shokotan
Recently, I heard a story from a friend who commented on Shokotan’s post and got blocked. He reflected that his comment might have been a bit extreme, but he was still surprised to be blocked. I’ve had unexpected reactions during interactions on social media as well, so I understand his feelings well.
Considering the Reasons for Blocking
Celebrities like Shokotan often value their distance from fans. Since her posts can have a significant impact on many, it’s understandable that she carefully selects the comments she allows. I remember when I commented on a popular YouTuber’s stream and made a light joke, only to receive a polite response saying, “Some may have found it uncomfortable, so please be careful.” That really caught me off guard. I don’t know the specifics of his comment, but extreme expressions or potentially misleading words can sometimes make the other person uncomfortable. On the other hand, light jokes can ease the mood, but how they are received varies from person to person, making it a tricky situation.
Reflection and Learning
Studying psychology in college has helped me understand the complexities of communication. Words can sometimes have unexpected effects. Statements directed at someone as prominent as Shokotan require particular caution. I believe he might feel that he should choose his words more carefully next time after this experience. Recently, I also made a little mistake on social media. I arrived too early for a meeting with a friend and ended up eating too much cake at a nearby café while waiting. It was delicious, but by the time my friend arrived, I was completely full. During our conversation, I mentioned, “I ate too much cake,” to which my friend laughed and jokingly said, “I hope you don’t come early next time.” I think these small moments are actually a vital part of communication.
Share Your Experiences
Now, I wonder if any of you readers have had similar experiences? Have comments or messages on social media led to unexpected reactions, or do you have funny stories from interactions with friends? Please share in the comments! I’d love to hear about even the smallest occurrences so we can all share a laugh together.
