And this is the REALLY messed up side of Japan and Japanese ... This is a violation of this girls human rights, just so her fans can have fantasy of dating her ... Talk about bloody insane!
AKB48 idol begs for fans’ mercy after breaking dating ban
Violation of human rights? Eh? More often than not, being an idol is indeed to feed fantasies of well, these days teeny boppers, and the creepy nerdy community through generic singing, dancing, and being all sexy on stage. This is a
voluntary JOB, and as any niche/specialty job, it has its rules. I'd say once these empty shells for cultural leaders get that special itch they gotta scratch and move on with their lives, they ought to just do that and break it to their creepy fans that they're ready to be butterflies and move on.
And I dislike all such, just for that- they're not special, chosen individuals with souls made to inspire and soothe others around them. They're generic shells who can sing (big whoop), look pretty, and are willing to sell their soles to please the sleazy and pathetic population. Plus they hardly REALLY work to get those roles besides having that natural qualifications and the willingness to fill it.
