“Aside from his programs being outdated, I’ve moved on from Yuzuru’s skating because I can’t discuss his performances with nuance, without someone inevitable derailing the discussion how everything Yuzuru does MUST BE RIGHT. Yuzuru does a lot of things “perfectly” but sometimes I want to discuss other things about his skating you know? And it’s not even to criticize him, but just to discuss. When it’s all about how perfect he is and how he can do no wrong, it gets boring. He gets boring.”
Lmao nonfan pretenses. A quick google search shows that the-real-xmonster@tumblr exists who has picked apart Hanyu's programs. So many Fanyus have done the same over the years. As well, Fanyus are so obsessive they have gone through his programs bit by bit to notice good and bad changes, nitpicked at, and rescored his programs. In 2015, many fans saw that he took out the backwards rolls in Seimei and collectively groaned that "he took out the rolls, it was better!" In 2018, numerous fans have also done side by side comparisons of the +/- changes in his 3 versions of Chopin. Fanyus have nitpicked, rescored, charted and measured his skating, and have responded to haters with the book instead of just mindlessly regurgitating high scores = the best! Where have you been?
