"トレンドで見つけたネタに対してわざわざサーチかけて炎上してるとこに更に首をツッコむのが彼のストレス発散法らしいです 正直そんなことしても余計ストレス溜まって壊れちゃうんじゃないかと心配です、個人的にはやめた方がいいと思いますが……/It seems that his way of releasing stress is to go out of his way to search for topics that he finds in trends and then criticize them even more when they get under fire. To be honest, I'm worried that even if I do that, I'll get stressed out and break down, so personally I think it's better not to do it……"
