a japanese tabloid mistook a porn actress for emi nitta (VA of honoka in love live), and when it hit twitter, the otaku community went nuclear over the idea of her not being “pure”
and then it turned out that it was just someone who happened to look a lot like emi
anime is a mess
Why idol culture is toxic
It’s toxic because it’s garbage straight out of the trash
fuck otaku
People see all the cool female characters in anime and think Japan is less sexist than the U.S.
Japan is actually violently obsessively sexist. The fixation there on women having value only so long as they’re youthful virgins could rival that of Medieval Europe.
As I recall idols have to sign a contract that forbids them from having boyfriends with the intent to keep them “pure” and thus favorable to their obsessive male fans
Like I have read articles talking about idols who were caught having boyfriends and they were subjected to various punishments, from making a public apology to their fans for disappointing them, paying hefty fines, and even having their heads shaved as a form of humiliation and public shaming
Idol culture and otaku are VILE
yyyyyep and this kind of shit is seldom ever addressed
