As I say, it's easy to say that unless you're in the same position. Forest doesn't compare, as the team weren't playing champions league football or winning premier league matches most weeks. It's easy to be apathetic when all the ingredients are there to allow for it.
I've been on the opposite side of this and said similar things about PSG fans, Chelsea, City... It's easy to make the comments from the outside looking in, it's different when it's your club. I've been a season ticket holder since I was 5, my dad was a season ticket holder since he was a kid, my grandad went to games since the 40s. Supporting the club is in my DNA.
I didn't drop the club during Ashley's ownership, despite him doing everything possible to breed apathy - from changing the stadium name, to plastering sponsorships all over it that brought in no revenue, to an almost 0 net spend over his tenure, to 2 relegations - we'd only been relegated 4 times before Ashley in over 100 years. But I kept going.
I want to be clear that I'm not comparing Ashley to the Saudis. My point is that the expectation that I'd suddenly drop the club when we're finally doing well, after years of deliberately-induced apathy, is nonsense, complete holier-than-thou stuff from people who, at least for the majority, wouldn't put it into practice if they were in the same circumstances. Our own government deal with the Saudis, in all likelihood you use websites that PIF have a stake in. Do you guys preach this stuff to fans of golf, or is that one okay because it isn't a rival football club?
The Saudi government are awful people. My allegiance is to Newcastle United, not KSA, MBS or PIF.
