    personally I find these situations to be kind of insane

    like j-idols and k-pop stars should be allowed to have relationships cause it’s their own choice and they shouldn’t be admonished or harrassed for it

    if anyone else in the world can have intimate relationships that they’re ok with then why can’t they have’m too?

    is the policing and harassment of stars and others for having intimate relationships justified?

    I personally don’t think so

    Her apologizing keeps the toxicity cycle going. She probably was made to. It’s too messed up. And these days you can’t count out PR stunts for publicity.

    And people in the west are worried about AI companions. They’re absolutely something to be worried about, but the whole idol thing is easily more problematic, though kn different ways. Point in case, fans drove a truck with a digital signboard on the side to demand an apology and asked if her fans’ love wasn’t enough. I guess at least there’s less stealing of fans’ data?
