A Japanese idol-lover distraught over the retirement of Taiwanese idol Dora (Zhou Yingxin) has attempted a seppuku suicide in front of her during her last performance, a rather grim ordeal that unveils the sad truth about (some) idol otaku.
The accomplished woman had announced her retirement some time ago, this news however deeply saddened the 48-year-old male fan and he traveled all the way to Taiwan to witness her final performance at the Nankang Software Park in Taipei.
After witnessing her last concert, the man was apparently so stricken with grief that he knelt down on the ground and attempted to commit seppuku; bystanders hindered his efforts and the police were eventually called, though his endeavor was likely most impeded by his decision to use a fruit knife.
Getting the chance to speak with her in broken English before committing his deed, the man admitted to being depressed and having suicidal thoughts over her retirement – his wounds were not fatal but he was taken to hospital just in case.
Following the incident, Zhou Yingxin posted a generic statement on her Facebook page “Life is precious. Please don’t do anything to make your family and friends worry” – a rather simple task for a woman who has thousands of fans who blindly love her.
Yet another example of how toxic idol culture is. Clearly marketing at people who are easily mentally swayed, and then when things like this happen they try to act all oblivious to their scheme.
3d is overrated, 2d is way better…
You just described feminism as a whole loo
I personally buy Idol DVDs, but only for a few models. I have the money, and if its gets said gorgeous model more screentime, that’s fine with me. I have all of Ramus BDs.
that’s just basic of fanatism. it work with other figure and religion
I’m pretty the “scheme” that your implying is basic supply and demand, business as a whole, in other words. Your issue is with either capitalism, or with how simple minded you assume consumers are to lump them all into one retard who screams for attention in public by failing to kill himself with a fruit knife.
Omg! Fruit knife seppuku man 😀
They should make a gag manga about it :/
Did he forget his linkin park playlist? Seriously, doing the s♥♥t that is just the “I WANT ATTENTION” instead of sure fire ways is like a kid cutting themselves..
wow get a life dude….
He has no life now
Half-Life 3 confirmed.
And cancelled again.
->fruit knife
weak.
Quite the opposite, try killing yourself with a blunt knife, heck a tea spoon. There’s a reason executioner uses an edged sword instead of a wooden plank to decapitate the to be executed.
This why the guillotine was invented; the axe wasn’t always sharp, and you couldn’t really standardize the swing of it perfectly, so things could get messy. The guillotine always worked.
The axe could be sharpened and you had to make sure the guillotine was sharp too.It was just faster.
