Here is an enemy video reacting to another enemy video, both of
which are trying to Westernize Japan:
HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFvMCiKCbbE
There was absolutely nothing wrong with the negative reaction of
the fans. Only Westerners (by which I include both video
creators) would think the problem is the behaviour of the fans
instead of the behaviour of the idol (who deliberately misled*
the fans about being single while continuing to accept their
money, when in fact she was already dating). If the idol wanted
to date, she should have announced her intention prior to
beginning dating, so that the fans could decide on full
information whether or not to continue to spend more money on
her. This way, the fans would not feel deceived.
(* Also, the idol looks like what we would expect. See also:

/>)
The deeper danger is both video creators arguing that idols have
no duties towards their fans in the first place. This is a
wholly Western perspective which, if normalized, will destroy
idol culture in non-Western countries. Even worse is denigrating
the fans with slurs. The fans are able to idealize idols
precisely because they have retained at least this aspect of
non-Western culture. (And no, the fans by spending money on
their idol are not expecting to hook up with their idol in
return. The very notion is absurd, as any fan to hypothetically
do so would be betraying all the other fans. The whole point is
for everyone to work together in maintaining the status quo for
the duration of the idol's career.)
Back in the Counterculture era (when chastity clauses in
contracts were more common), idols overall understood their
duties better, and took them more seriously (though of course
there were still bad apples). The increasingly worsening
standards of idol behaviour and acceptance of such with passing
decades is a sign of increasing implicit Westernization.

children bed-sharing[3] while a 2006 study of children in
Kentucky in the United States reported 15% of infants and
toddlers 2 weeks to 2 years engage in bed-sharing.[4]

This is how inferior Western civilization is.

years
--- End Quote ---
I would it has evolved over even longer, given that it is also
standard practice among non-human mammals, birds, reptiles,
etc..
And of course Western scientists had to violently separate
animal children from their mothers to confirm what I knew
without experimentation:
--- Quote ---
> In studies with animals, infants who stayed close to their
mothers had higher levels of growth hormones and enzymes
necessary for brain and heart growth.[24][25]
--- End Quote ---
::)
--- Quote ---
> Initial assumptions on co-sleeping may place it in a context
of income and socioeconomic status. Generally, families of low
socioeconomic status will be unable to afford a separate room
for a child while those of high socioeconomic status can more
easily afford a home with a sufficient number of rooms.[9]
However, statistical data shows the prevalence of co-sleeping in
wealthy Japanese families and the ability of poor Western
families to still find a separate space for their child,
suggests that the acceptance of co-sleeping is a result of
culture.[36]
> ...
> Several studies show that the prevalence of co-sleeping is a
result of cultural preference. In a study of 19 nations, a trend
emerged, depicting a widely accepted practice of co-sleeping in
Asian, African, and Latin American countries, while European and
North American countries rarely practiced it.[37] This trend
resulted mostly from the respective fears of parents: Asian,
African, and Latin American parents worried about the separation
between the parents and the child, while European and North
American parents feared a lack of privacy for both the parents
and the child.[9]

Homework: who should be prohibited from reproducing first?
To be clear, I am not saying that co-sleeping suits all
children. Individual children who are less confortable with it
than with sleeping separately should not be forced to co-sleep,
just as individual children who are less comfortable with
sleeping separately should not be forced to sleep separately. It
all comes down to following what each child individually
prefers.

this should be the standard rather than the exception:

I hope Haining successfully remains faithful, as do various
romantic/proto-Gnostic commenters:
--- Quote ---
> Real love is eternal.
--- End Quote ---
--- Quote ---
> Time is'nt a healer.
--- End Quote ---
--- Quote ---
> If its not stubborn, its not true love.
--- End Quote ---
--- Quote ---
> When you finally get the love of your life, don't mess it up
and don't let go.
--- End Quote ---
--- Quote ---
> may they find each other in their next life.
--- End Quote ---
--- Quote ---
> I believe when his time comes, she will be the one to come to
him and take him with her.
--- End Quote ---
In contrast, Western commenters explicitly hope he fails:
--- Quote ---
> My advice to this wonderful man is: keep your memory of your
wife in your heart, but move on to find your new love.
--- End Quote ---
--- Quote ---
> even if he did remarry, no one should blame him as he should
try to find happiness again.
--- End Quote ---
This is how inferior Western civilization is.
On the other hand, my problem with Haining's behaviour is
exactly what the Confucianist commenters are praising him for:
--- Quote ---
> He continues to live alone, yet he treats his wife’s parents
with kindness.
--- End Quote ---
Huixiang's parents were the ones who tried to separate them in
the first place, forcing them to run away and live in unhealthy
conditions! If not for them, Huixiang might not even have gotten
cancer! The correct attitude from Haining should be to treat
them as Huixiang's possible killers. At the very least he should
demand them to return to him all the money he once gave them to
spend on Huixiang's medical bills! That Haining does not is an
example of Confucianist inferiority.
