Agreed. I think being a housewife is great when work is actually being done and children are actually being raised. Otherwise, it’s just freeloading.

Also true. However, were that the case, nothing is stopping her from quitting and getting a normal job.

Idols can have sex all they want. They just suck at getting caught.

I don’t care about idols having flings. I don’t care about otakus whining about it. I care that IDOLS whine about it, as they knew the risks of the job.

Bieber and Disney Channel idols sell to different audiences. Besides, most romances with Disney stars are usually revealed after their work with Disney is over.

I agree wholeheartedly with that statement. The idol business is ugly, but that’s the business she chose. If she wants a normal life, she should get a normal job.

Agreed wholeheartedly. Those specific otaku were creepy, but she was an idiot for not keeping her private life private (FYI, most otaku don’t give a shit about the private lives of seiyuu). I don’t particularly care for Aya Hirano. She’s a talented seiyuu, but also an idiot and attention whore. If she succeeds as an [...]

Not bad, but she’s missing Yuno’s “lovely” smile.

It’s the Japanese ‘Gap’.

Trude is a miracle of the universe. Of course I’m purchasing this wonderful item.

Huh. I thought the Estelle Bright nendroid was going to be the only one I own. Hmm…

@07:53 “And she shouldnt be blamed for something that other people in the industry ask her to present herself as such.” She cannot be blamed for the current situation regarding the image of purity, but she knows the deal, just like other idols. She can and should be blamed for getting caught and ruining that image. [...]

But it is their fault if they get caught fooling around, knowing full well how important the image of purity is to fans.

This lawsuit is dumb. Everyone knows that idols are actually the opposite of pure. Just the rules of the game. Same goes for Sashihara, though: got caught breaking the rules, gets (lightly) punished for it.

“Can we now move on to more important things please? Like the civil war in Syria or the financial crisis in Europe?”

Motherfucker, this ain’t the BBC.

People who frequent Pachinko parlors aren’t normal, really.

Agreed. Teenagers having sex isn’t news (especially in Japan), but idols have images to maintain and they knows this. She knew what she was doing and the consequences it would carry if revealed – in that sense, I don’t feel sorry for her. At least she wasn’t fired outright, though. The guy she messed around [...]

Loli is pretty much illegal in the United States. It’s just not really pursued unless something gets caught up in Customs.

Odd situation with not much info. Shame on her for taking advantage of the elderly, I suppose. I find it odd that she would force someone to be her whore patron, though.
