The idol / boy group / girl group business everywhere fucking sucks, in Japan as well. Nothing but predatory people and practices and a dumb-as-bread fanbase who's bamboozled by the veneer of exoticism into thinking it's all fun and games.
Look at Japan where "Johnny" Kitagawa built a boy-idol empire to be able to rape hordes of teenagers and then basically enslave them with contracts into making a fortune for him. And nothing happened for decades despite everybody knowing what's going on with him, because, "oh gosh, aren't they funny and pretty and happy boys"?
In Japan and South Korea, if you're a rich old man, you can rape kids by the dozen and the worst that will happen to you is have to pay them some hush money if they publicly accuse you. Western otakus don't know what fucking dirty businesses they support and glorify.
America too, if you look at the guy who ran boy bands like NSync.
It's always the same, and it's also obvious, but it's kept going by the support from fans who don't give a shit.
Ikr. I freaking have to live through it...
You are/were an idol?
No, I do not mean that. I rather meant, this kind of "minding others' business" is prevalent.
south korea fucking sucks
