I am going to post this, since I think it is worth people taking a moment to read. A Japanese fan reached out to a mutual on Tumblr, after some interaction on Twitter. I think people should read their message, and consider what is being said.

''I'm from Japan and i absolutely love your blog. I know u guyz get new chapters before us and i unfortunately know what's going to happen in the upcoming chap (thnx to spoilers). I had to say something to the non Japanese mostly western tg fandom. I really appreciate tht u guys contribute to this fandom even tho Ishida sensei lives almost opposite side of the world. But y'all please stop sending hate to sensei. The Japanese fandom is really disappointed to see this kinds of reaction (1)''

''Please keep it in mind that your culture and our culture r really different. There’s a certain reason we call him sensei. He’s older than most of us & works really hard to write a chap every week. In Japanese culture respecting older people is a sensitive matter. We seek their forgiveness even for slight offense. This is how we r taught from our childhood. So telling sensei to kill himself or calling him a old fuck or flushing down his work not only disrespects him but also our culture. (2)''

''It’s alright to be disappointed or to have different opinion but don’t send hate to sensei I’m begging u guyz. And please don’t send spoilers either. Don’t call a man’s hardwork trash just bc he didn’t do what you wanted. I wouldn’t have come anonymously if i wouldn’t have gotten lectured by western fans in twitter. I’ll say it for the final time, pls think twice before taking hateful actions bc it’s not okay. I want to say to coromoor tht you’re a really sweet person & this wasn’t ment for u(3)''

''Positive people like u r always welcome. I wrote this so that people can see why it’s not ok to send hate to sensei. Please forgive me if there’s even slightly offending in my rant. I hope all of u will have a great day''

I think they have several good points, which need to be considered. Some of the behavior of Western fans is extremely disrespectful to Ishida, Japanese fans, and their culture. The tweeting of Spoilers prior to the official release date is a big issue between Western and Eastern fans, which people need to do their best to stop. And sending negative messages to Ishida as a creator is not acceptable behavior.

So let's try, as a fandom, to be better. We're looking like a bunch of huge jerks to them right now. :/
