Comments on: AKB48 Rage at “Moral Collapse” of Idol Otaku http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2011/09/13/akb48-rage-at-moral-collapse-of-idol-otaku/ Anime, manga and games, observed from Japan Wed, 19 Jun 2013 08:40:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: GatlingMikun http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2011/09/13/akb48-rage-at-moral-collapse-of-idol-otaku/#comment-1078741 GatlingMikun Sun, 22 Jul 2012 09:12:26 +0000 http://www.sankakucomplex.com/?p=50337#comment-1078741 I'd say the one big screw up here is the damn "buy the most merchandise = the bigger the chance of meeting your favorite idol!" system - because 90% of the time only the most extreme nutjobs are the ones with the insane nerve to actually spend millions upon millions JUST so they can win the chance of attending these handshaking events.

It's like a reverse sieve: they're flawlessly collecting the worst possible kind of crap out of their fanbase to attend these events.

...At the expense of mere children.

- Brb, gotta get my faith in humanity to stop violently smashing it's face against the wall again.

Then wipe his nastiness back on his face before I scrub my hands and leave the event. The promoters/managers could kiss my sweet little ass after that.
I would wear gloves and use earplugs for the next event and mace any guy who tried to cross the table to grab me. Just saying..

But these girls are doing the otaku a massive service, they're giving them the chance to see bodies the likes of which they won't in real life, and the otaku clearly understand, want and appreciate that. They should be more grateful.

The song was top on 3 recochoku charts for single, PV and ringtone too and recochoku is a digital site. i can see bulk buy but idk about bulk downloading. flying get single was genuine success though.

Worse yet, these girls can't even sing or dance particularly well, but try to act cute as a group, hoping you won't notice.

It's not really the girls fault, so much as it is that of the organizations who put groups like this together. They're exploiting the girls, but even more so the otaku who are spending their money on these false relationships. If actions like these discourage such exploitative schemes, then they can't be all bad.

Are they just bred in a lab and used exclusively to be AKB48 idols?
The nature of attaining a handshake session (multiple CD purchases of the same CD) just lends itself to containing only the most die-hard and 'degenerate' fans in each session. Because they bought so much of the same product, they feel that they pretty much should be able to say whatever they want to their favorite idol, including sexual innuendo or just straight up sexual harassment. You think someone would spend $100+ just to cordially talk to their idol?

Either by male or female fanatics. Seriously that company has been around since before we were all born. The boys are insanely popular and can't live a normal life or blend in with a crowd, and they have stalkers and apparently get a lot less security.

No more dealing with that Johnny's idol shit. He's still one of them but he says he feels a million times more free to be himself in the US. His old group was constantly harassed by yarakashi.

AKB48 is just at fault here. You can't blame the idols all the time its more like the organizers of the events need to be blamed. Their security sucks and they should expect something. But I also understand that the otaku fans shouldn't be treating the idols like shit. Do you know what its like for idols? Sure its a vicious competition of stepping on your competitors, but because the competition is so high that some idols who are mostly unknown sometimes have to rely on events like handshaking to gain popularity. It's a horrible cycle. The fans can treat them like crap if they so please and the idols are trapped and forced to go along with the organizers even if they know how bad it gets because sometimes there just no choice but to do so in order to gain popularity. Personally it disgusts me on how AKB48 and some other talent agencies totally don't look out for the well being of these girls. They are complaining about the fans when they themselves already knew the outcome yet just sat back and didn't bother to up the security measures.

How else can you make so much money? Telling the otakus to behave is like asking the idol makers not to take in as much yen as they can... Not gonna happen...

All you moralfags bitching about human rights would be no where to be fond if the same thing were happening to a group of women you didn't think was attractive. If they were a group of really talented singers, but older or below average looking you'd be throwing out the prostitute comments like everyone else.

I'd clean up anime of this loli/moe/pedo shit that the sad otaku of today have perverted it with!

I'd lure all the subhuman troglodyte otaku out with some stupid AKB48 handshake event in a abandoned warehouse and fucking gas them all.
