Wouldn't banning junior idol cause harm to idol anime though? I'm not sure if idol anime's reputation would be good among the controversy.


Not at all, there are no anime with junior idols whatsoever, no manga either, it wouldn't harm fiction at all. The only thing that MAY happen is there may not be any sexy photoshoots or sexy scenes with non-teenage or older idols (which only few series has, Pripara toned down their sexualization of Laala a while ago and Cinderella Girls aired already) but destroying it, no, the whole sexualization of very young idols never caught on.


Was lala sexualized?

Yes, until recently, where they toned it down a lot, you won't set her in a bra or a bikini now.

What's wrong with her being in a bra? I never felt like they made it really lewd or anything!

What does that even mean? "practically"? it's either rape or consent. In this case it appears to be consent. The women shouldn't complain but instead learn to understand that in the real world you have to be accountable for your actions.
Ah, victim blaming. Rape culture at its finest.

I really hope you're joking.....but if you aren't I'll properly explain why it's a preposterous notion what you're saying.

There's no such thing as "Rape Culture" in the West or Japan....That's not to say rape doesn't occur, because obviously it does.

But to insinuate that a first world country would ever tolerate rape or simply brush it aside is ridiculous.

I mostly agree with what jkun had to say....adults should be treated as adults regardless of gender.

If you're a woman and some random person walks up to you with a contract about modeling....You shouldn't be quick to sign it, you should make sure it's the real deal and bring people along with you (Like an agent or family member or friend) as back up if anything shady goes down.

Furthermore, you should properly read the contract so you don't get tricked into doing something you don't want to do.

Women SHOULD be accountable for the actions....just like men are.

Men who get tricked into doing things are rarely if ever felt sorry for....people just say "He should've known better".

All adults should be treated equally and take proper responsibility for their actions.

I think those are wise words.

I get that, don't get me wrong. But the women in these situations, while maybe not being cautious enough with the modeling contract signing, still shouldn't be the ones blamed for it. They are being raped in a LOT of cases. Should it then not be the fault of the rapist who COMMITTED THE CRIME? I don't understand people trying to make it always the victim's fault by saying they could have prevented it. Whether or not they could have, they didn't do anything illegal by not taking steps to prevent it, but the rapist DID do something illegal and should be held accountable for his actions - end of fucking story.

No idea how the Japanese legal system works especially on Employment contracts.

Pretty sure there must be something in Place that nullifies contracts that are signed when misrepresented, or signed under coercion, or if the contract affects the persons rights.

But maybe they don't.

It's a kids show though and parents complained about that for a while because of that anime being a kids show.
