No, I don't think that was the problem
Honestly I don't know what's more soul crushing, the incorrectly added comma or the fact OP still doesn't get it
I dont mean to generalise but Japan is quite sexist (comparatively to most of the western world).
You’re not wrong. Considering how they objectify women, especially in their anime, it’s not hard to imagine them being sexist and misogynistic. Searching on the topic yields a lot of people agreeing with this sentiment.
It’s not just Japan, and it doesn’t just apply to women. K pop has the same situation, and boy bands are no exception.
Although modern media allows for much less privacy, this idea is far from new. Back when The Beatles were a fresh, new band in the early 1960s, John Lennon had to hide his first marriage from the public. Long before Yoko Ono, there was Cynthia Lennon. John was pressured to hide his relationship for the same reasons that K pop and J pop idols do - in order to create the illusion of “attainability” among fans.
Times have changed in the west, where celebrity couples have found greater public acceptance. I’m not well-versed in Japanese and Korean celebrity cultures, so I’m not sure why this prohibition on dating/marriage still occurs there. All I know is, this situation is not unique.
Yes, the culture around "idols" is very different.
Your attitude isn't the best either. Unreachable? It's possible to admire someone, then get with them, but it takes confidence, and looks help too.
