I am not up to date, I don't know what happened if something happened. If Akane is also a prostitute for survival, this is sad but understandable during corona especially and not her fault. If she has a boyfriend or such, then this would not bother me. Idols being sexually active has no relevance to me because I am not ever going to date an idol myself. The bubble of belief in fans having a chance to date an idol is another aspect of the idol industry's flawed capitalism. In fact, it is one of the worst aspects of this flawed capitalism because it is what cements the industry's problems as problems of its own flawed capitalism and not just problems of capitalism. Imposing such restrictions on idols is even harmful to the profit in the long term, this is what creates many of the industry's problems and fuels many more that would exist otherwise such as the abuse.

The reason I came back, unfortunately I had to visit in Hell again for a short period of time and these threads help me to not feel stress. Now even more than ever before because of corona. I am not getting corona but, you can never know for sure if you even go outside at all. So when you risk exposure to large groups of people who statistically have high levels of corona, even if you avoid them, you feel stress. Talking about idols and the idol industry's problems takes my mind off from this stress. Often when I come here now, it is because of recent stress.

Anybody saying junior idols are now allowed is wrong from every perspective. They know this, or you can tell them this, and if they won't believe then they're blindfolding themselves. I know the reality is not always pleasant, you may want to blindfold yourself but, do not do it. This is not for you, of course it is for those who do it. It can be very painful to accept that what you like is under attack from every perspective. I can relate to this very much on one very important issue that is not related to idols so will not discuss further, however, creating a bubble of delusion is never the solution.

Yes, this is unfortunate. However, for parents it makes sense to be against age gaps unless it is a society where such is economically very beneficial past the tipping point. This is not most countries in the modern period anymore, which is good, only the problem it creates is that the attitude shifts may be irreversible as they now become laws. There are solutions but nobody wants to hear them because of power hungry politics. We even see this emenating in the idol industry as well, clearly.
