I think the worst part of it all is that she could have announced this after graduating as Fauna. That would have been the perfect moment and everyone would have understood.
Then she could have redebuted with everyone knowing and being able to decide if they wanted to continue following her.

But instead she deliberately waited to first sell all her merch and make a ton of money, even from fans who she knew would look at said merch with anger after this announcement.
How do you defend this move?
