I know the jpop fanbase is small on here but the silence on the assault on a Japanese idol by 2 men is so worrying. Hating idol culture doesn’t mean you should ignore serious issues like this. If we don’t get this more attention Japanese media will literally ignore it because the group’s management is already making this girl apologize for HERSELF being assaulted in front of the men who assaulted HER. It’s disgusting and it shouldn’t go unnoticed.
like, making just regular power fantasy ocs is good and all, we all love to feel strong and in control and cool and shit
but just. there is something so absolutely healing about making a character that is unequivocally, altruistically kind, someone who is the embodiment of good, as a kind of goal, or reminder for what you could be.
to then allow yourself to play out those scenarios, to be unequivocally kind at no cost to yourself is an abstract act of self-care on a deeply personal level
