[Oshi No Ko]
| Even before the anime came out, I knew that Aka was trying to represent the realities of show business or human psychology known to him in the show, but at the time of the 6th episode, the show becomes damn relatable. This is probably the first time I've heard the idea of never apologizing for something you didn't do to stop bullying in the mainstream media. I am not a celebrity and never have been, but even I have experienced situations where trying to clear up misunderstandings is met with even more hostility. |

| Yea. I loved how they conveyed, that you sould absolutely never apologize to bad actors on Twitter, who do not want you to atone and be a better person, but just to punish out of malice with sadistic satisfaction. Apology will be taken as an admission of guilt and nothing more, which would completely validate every nasty thing they say about you. Very good representation of how it happens, because those things do happen and now even more frequent than ever. |

Piromysl said: This shit also easily becomes a vicious circle if the presumption of guilt is added to the equation and everything you say is immediately treated as an excuse or denial of supposedly "objective" guilt. I have often found myself in situations where any of your explanations for even subjective injustice or error are ignored, because people consider themselves absolutely right and are not even going to spend time examining your position.Yea.

Very good representation of how it happens when someone's decade old tweets with an edgy joke suddenly emerge and author gets flack for this. |

| Idk what to say, but if you watch any commentary youtuber, every channel has the same opinion that apologies on social media are a trap. |

And The the things that make me really like the episode is how they made yuki a kind and reasonable character. Like most anime they will make yuki characters as a bi*ch who will add more fuel to the fire |

| Even if it's not masterpiece, it's still the best show this season, followed by Heavenly Delusion :> The best part is the plot only gets better from here. I can see this series getting a 2nd and 3rd season already which I'm happy. (season 2 is already planned) I like this show as much as I like Kaguya S3. |

The Japanese service and show business sector is literally the epitome of "the customer is always right."RobertBobert said: Some of the people attacking Akane are Yuki's fans though. So I was kinda expecting her to come out and defend Akane publicly, but somehow this is not shown..?I think the main idea was that the "victim" didn't find it a problem and quickly forgave her while people on the internet continued to stir it up and attack Akane. |

| I just hope this episode helps reduce cyber bullying at least a tiny little bit. Last second saves don't usually happen in real life. |
| Sad to say it happens to anybody, most of the youtubers who post an bapology video are met with hostility and cancel. So the rule is don't give an apology video but let the buzz fade cause they usually forget rather quickly if you dont specify and apologize for it. |

Like I expect her to say, "this is just an accident and Akane is my dear friend. So if u keep attacking her, then u are attacking me." Along with what TC has said about talking back to the audience being frowned upon, her agency would give her the Kana treatment if she did so. Also in the first place, Yuki's said that her motive is to "win" (stand out the most) against the others so she has no reason to publicly defend Akane. She does not know Akane that personally. Top it off, no one really knows she'd "stare in the abyss" except maybe Aqua, Memcho, and Kana. Secondly, the audience would twist her statements and assume things to fit their own narrative, even if Yuki decided to make a defensive post. They'd think of the lines of "Wow Yuki is such an angel. I would never defend someone who physical has assaulted me" or "She's just making this post on behalf of the showrunners. Just a PR post." If you've been on social media for a while, you can notice people do this all the time. Even in MAL. |

| To be honest I wasn't really feeling this show up until latest episode which I thought was very well crafted. The way the cyberbullying was handled & the way the character reacted was awfully realistic. while I do agree this anime isn't a masterpiece,, does however get things right when it comes to problems faced in the entertainment industry. |
