the only reason i can think of is that underneath it all, they're worried she's going to turn on them. i know that sounds ridiculous, but i really don't see how anyone could stand her unless they either felt that way or they had no real friends to compare her to.
That makes sense. Back when I had a bunch of notorious wankers on my plurk, I used to just not really associate with them but also not defriend them because I was afraid of the backlash.
Also, a bit related: I heard that she and Yukina are no longer close/friends/something like that. It's strange because Yukina used to be one of her biggest whiteknights. Maybe the winds of change are coming.
As an ex-friend of a toxic person that sounds a lot like them, I've seen this with some people. Being the target of that much vitriol isn't something most people want to volunteer for, and I walked on eggshells with that person because I didn't want her to hate me next.
In the end it was healthier for me to leave and deal with the hate, but it's not such an easy choice for everyone.
