8,500 IdolMaster Otaku Unite: “Give Us Back Our Girls!”

The petition by outraged fans demanding the restoration of the 4 girls removed from IdolMaster 2 in favour of a trio of sexy men has reached over 8,500 signatures, and the petition is to be presented to Namco Bandai in the hopes they will not ignore it completely as in the case of every other Internet petition ever submitted.
The letter actually asks for a chance to hand the petition over in person:
The demands appear to have increased in number:
1. Restoration of the four girls to playability
2. Removal of “Jupiter” from the game
3. Repeal of the “CD unit selection race”
4. Repeal of the abolition of multiplayer
Whilst most are none too impressed with the removal of the girls, the other demands in particular have been countered with a simple “then don’t buy it then?” response.
Considering the fuss being made over the removal and the less than reliable nature of the Internet petition, some actually consider the number of signatures gathered (8,657) to be rather meagre – in response, it has been noted that the original games only sold in the region of the 100,000 copies, although this in turn highlights a potentially risky gambit by Namco.

This is actually the start of the rise of otakus as an independent nation.. This should be marked as another milestone if this succeeds! ALL HAIL OTAKUS!! (屮ﾟДﾟ)
And thus that's how the Zergs started out...
edit:Ah crap,didn't noticed I pressed the "reply" button instead of the "post comment" because of the damn delay.
and just like the Zergs in SC2 they suck compared to the other races
Leave the poor zergs alone. Don't compare them to something like that.
Honestly, I find the Zergs interesting to play as.
Anon, I believe you are one of the people who got 6-spawn cheesed..sad sad person you..
DIE TERRAN!

@Yuki,
Hope the dude playing as the Terran had some nukes in reserved,then again maybe not.
ZERGTAKU RUSH NAMCO!!!
*clears throat and inhales*
But in all seriousness, it was very unwise of Namco-Bandai to suddenly remove them in the first place knowing they are very loved in favor for a bunch of guys nobody gives a sh*t about in a game that targets the male population of Japan...
Honesty, it was a poor game development choice without thinking of the consequence in my opinion...
If I was Namco-Bandai, I would have just added the guys without removing the girls...
I see no reason to remove them in the first place...
1) Sit at base
2) Mass 400 Banelings
3) Right click at enemy base
4) ?????
5) PROFIT

@Azure Xuchilbara,
Game publishers and developers alike are being one with the spirit of the "Trolling Season."
@crittercam (KrazedLumberjack)
I'm pretty sad by this, knowing the developers I love making such poor game development decisions...
Why would they want to f*ck up their own successful franchises and games with these dumb choices knowing they'll get the onslaught of anger from their fans..?
I know they have a lot of potential as game developers and by now they should know what their fans want...
But as of late...
It's...It's like they became masochistic trolls or something...
These stupid otakus should just fuck off
Zerg is the most imbalanced race in the lategame due to their extreme mobility.
(attack at one side of the map and when the slow terran/protoss come to defend, retreat and attack the other side of the map)
The only real challenge in zergplay is surviving the early/midgame without being crippled.
actually from the picture, the guy has 4 siege tank, in siege mode not firing, once they fire those banelings will die in mass due to the splash damage.
Somehow, it seems we have deviated from the main point. lol
But for the record, Otaku = Zerg
Except, the zerg are stoppable....
Does that mean Otaku are dedicated to achieving genetic perfection?
no
Something like this?

Close to that but replace the guys in the suits with guys in Otaku "battle gear."
On a 2nd note,Otaku passion is truly a double-edged sword.On one side you get a peaceful side of utter devotion on the other you get a berserker-like response at the very act of what they consider sacrilege to their way of thinking and life.
These looks more like salarymen, otaku wouldn't dare to leave their comfortable houses for something like that.
Oh, you never know what otakus are up to if it involves some of their waifus.
They will morph into the Overmind, these 8500 otakus. xDD
That'd be one limp Overmind.
If they're the Zerg,then who'd be the Terran? and who'd be the Protoss even?Lol.
Otaku hive mind. Sounds like a shock plot.
Those would actually be a cerebrate. They're far from becoming a true overmind.
The terrans would be the banhammering politicians, the protoss the femnazis.
What we need is an overwhelming otaku rush.
noo the protoss should be Protoss, otakus can be zerg and the femnazis - sexually confused zerg hatcheries past their best years that insist on their free individual rights to choose whether spawn zerg or not when hotclicked.
Zergs are only good for rush games.

Damn right! They don't give a chance.
"Whilst most are none too impressed with the removal of the girls, the other demands in particular have been countered with a simple “then don’t buy it then?” response."
This is exactly what everyone should do, not buy it. Should that happen all demands would be fulfilled in no time.

That'll be a sad sad nation.
Well you can have the male otaku populace on one side of that nation and the fujoushi on the other,and they only get to meet each other during mating season.^^
I know people might be offended by this but that's one way of how it might work for them.
i doubt it works like that...
what reason should each other have? if otakus have their superior 2D waifus and fujoshis have their androgynous bishies?
it's sad, but a nation like that would collapse... T_T
instead of paper bag over there heads, they will sell cut out masks for that festival.
@14:17
Basically they can only propagate using these methods: influence/assimilation and teaching their offspring the works.
No seriously I'm a fujoshi but i still wouldn't buy that shit. There is a point where something can just be too gay. in a bad way. I think its stupid that they decided to not care about the old fans and look for new ones. I think it wouldn't been smarter to have the new characters and leave the old ones too, i got no idea why they did that.
Apparently, its srs business nao...
The internet has always been serious business, ma'am...
touche
It's like religious fervor in full swing if you take a look at it from a news anchor's point of view...
i wouldn't call it rise of the otaku but fall of the retardedcompanywhothinktheycandowhathevertheywant
What would you do if you were in there shoes.... I have both idolm@ster and idolm@ster live for you .... It's really a shame to see those charscters disappear ESP iori ！(◎_◎;) she's one of my favourite character.
The nation is doomed. Otaku don't breed.
Well, not all.
Which begs the question... "How are more and more spawning?!".
Binary fission?
Do-hohohoho!
Sure they do, its just with the cockroaches that crawl through their used napkins. Cockroachie-chan is born every day some where.
So this is where Gokicha-chan came from?
maybe it wont be so inappropriate for you to be a virgin anymore, no, no your parents still suggest you leave the home and stop playing with your anime dolls
