Japan

>>279713356 (OP)
having beent to japan myself it really is the ideal place. just dont leave tokyo, dont go there in summer, speak japanese and dont look like a (wrong kind of) foreigner

>>279713453
So be white?

>>279713453
>just dont leave tokyo
??
I'd rather not go to Tokyo at all.

>>279713453
Why do people expect them to be friendly with foreigners and to adjust to foreigners? You go to Japan to experience Japan, like who gives a fuck if they are racist and don't speak English at least you're not getting robbed and murdered like in some 3rd world shithole.

There is at least one girl among the fan crowd?

>>279713694
The front line on the right seems to have 2-3 of them.

>>279713463
Nah look rich, my poor fag white as snow friend still gets dirty look but he does have a pornstache

>>279713724
You don't even have to look rich you just need to dress like you have some kind of self respect and not walmart trash. Same goes for europe. They'd rather kill themselves than go outside with sweat pants and flip flops even if they're just getting the mail and if you dress like that they'll just assume youre autistic or otherwise retarded.

>>279713712
It reminds me of the Kirino Meruru scenes. She also wore that pink jacket with the flash stik.

I willnever understand idol culture.

>>279713809
europoor here, there is plenty of people walking around wearing sweat pants and flip flops to do tasks like shopping at local grocery store or walking the dog, they only dress better for work and meeting with friends.

Cringiest country

It's religion with a tangible "goddess" for those that don't find comfort in actual religion.

>>279713888
Grim. I lived in Sweden and over there looking proper was extremely important.

>>279713909
Yeah but the fans must know it's all a sham. The purityfagging, the soppy supposed love for the fan etc. It's just a dirty industry to take their yen. Yet they still act like it's genuine. But deeper than that I find it highy embarrassing to openly idolize and obsess over someone, especially a worthless entertainment celebrity. And then they, apparently, feel self righteous anger when the idol does something 'un-idol like' despite the fact that they must surely know it's all a facade.

Also the music is ass.

>>279714159
You're wrong. The idol loves the fans just as much as the fans love the idol.

found it

>>279714117
I tend to find anywhere middle class and urban/suburban people love to dress well and think it's important. Working class and rural folks will wear any old shit, although they are two totally different types. And rural people will often be dirty from work wehereas a middle class white collar would never dream of going out for a meal and drinks with friends wearing with oil, mud and postcrete on them.

>>279714207
The otakus look more pathetic except for the one with the sun glasses and the jeans jacket.

>>279714202
I am unconvinced, I think that's cope.

>>279714207

>>279714207
Where is this from

>>279714242
I don't think it's impossible to love someone you don't personally known. You can love the image you have in your mind of celebrities, someone you saw but never interacted with, politicians, fictional characters but an idol isn't able to remember all the faces of all her fans in her concerts or her conventions, even if she remembers the faces she won't have a proper view of who this person is and he never saw many of her fans. The only ones she would be able to remember are the ones who stand out. Freaks who cause trouble, insane dedicated ones. The only ones she is capable to love are the ones she properly remembers but I doubt that an idol loves her dedicated fans.

the concept is only alien to you because heroic ideals are dead and raped in the west

>>279714117
That's only the case if you live in like central Stockholm or some shit. I see people in sweatpants all the time in the stores and on the streets here in northern Sweden. Nobody gives a shit how you dress.

>>279714159
Still better than Western idols who are worshipped for being shameless whores, who only pretend to do music and sing.

Come to think of it, what happens to idols after their careers dissipate? I've heard of former idols landing management or producer roles, and some of the more outgoing ones even finding rich husbands, but where do the rest end up? Do they just fall through the floor?
It's not totally unrealistic to think an idol would give you a shot ~10 years from now when she's working at a konbini or some shit.

>>279714237
Go suck a dick with mayo, Toshi.

>>279715277
Some become regular singers, other try their luck in other branches of showbusiness, like acting.
Doubt that many would settle working regular jobs, if you have the motivation and guts to become an idol, you'll hardly go back to being a nobody without a fight.

>>279713877
From what I understand, it's basically the same as Anime otaku culture and anime girls.
People build their own idealized internal image of the idol singers to fit their own needs for intimacy and form a community to worship them.
I think it's weirder when they do it on a real person compared to a drawing but since the real person is selling themself that way, I guess it's fine.

>>279715446
I agree with the otakus there and would consider myself also an otaku. All I am saying is that the otakus portrayed there look mostly pathetic.

>>279715646
You delve into a parodoxon with 2D/3 stuff. In some anime people even talk about 2D/3D and a few anime guys even say they are 2 only but in our perspective the girls of his world are 2D. If you come to the world of anime then are the girls there 2D or 3D?

>>279715511
Idk man, you'd think after 2-3 of getting absolutely nothing for their efforts, most people would start to realize what isn't achievable in this life.

If you own figures then you are implicitly signalling that you deep down believe 3D is superior to 2D in the end.
After all why go through the trouble of owning a tangible 3D representation of a 2D anime girl if 2D is so superior?

>>279715940
I've gave it some thought and the final result is no answer and a headache. It wasn't my intention to delve into this subject.
I was just talking about how similar worshiping anime girls was to idol culture.

>>279716235
Its more about liking the character and all of its traits thats from 2D rather than liking the 2 dimension over 3 dimension.

>>279716434
Eve vs Mary dichotomy

>>279716235
As if it's about the literal dimensions and not the heroic ideal, wordcel down syndrome post.

>>279716431
>how similar worshiping anime girls was to idol culture.
they are both smelly otakus

>>279714631
This. In order to prevent strongmen and dictators from rising to power, we demonized the cult of personality through social conditioning by using fascism and natsoc as evil ideologies. We legit can't understand the level of worship that goes in idolfaggotry.

>>279713356 (OP)
otaku gathering like that irl are cringe as fuck
and also stink

>>279713356 (OP)
I honestly dont understand why 4cucks obsess about western society when the eastern one looks like this.
It has to be miserable to look exactly like 99% population while living off of only rice/fish diet.

I am not the the modern west. And being a simp for some corporate conwoman is not a heroic ideal. Neither is losing your shit when it emerges she has a boyfriend or something.

>>279714831
Western celebrities are not idols. And noone bats an eye when they shoot up or whore about, on the contrary faggots love to gossip about it. Both that shit and idols are bad but worshiping a false god, some fake idol public image, like a stupid braindead simp is a bad a look or worse than retarded western celeb lovers.

>>279718214
Where do you think you are?

>>279714831
Both are the same shit, just disposable corpo cumdumps made to sell products with a different coat of paint.

>>279714202
Maybe at the start, but being a celebrity isn't what it's cracked up to be. Between paparazzi, stalkers, people harassing you in grocery stores and the airport, and the constant gossip you'll wonder how Jared Leto stayed sane for as long as he did. It's even worse with idols because then everyone's trying to catch you with a secret boyfriend.
