>>10852624That's kind of a stereotypical thing about entertainers in general that we act like completely different people on and off screens. Like, to an extent we kind of do, but it's not a 180 degree persona change like popular media makes it out to be.
In the case of idol culture, I mean gravure/jav idols exist. They are still idols despite heavy sexualization, but a different genre of idol if that makes sense. The idea of the 100% pure seiso idol image is not as common with the rise of alternative idols. Sometimes its even consider a stereotype. Even then, all idols have one basic thing in common that bring them together: inspiring others through actions and activities. There basically the girl next door, the family friend, your sister, etc that wishes you to your best while they do their best.
It's so fucking cliche and kind of goes against itself in times but hey, the beauty of idols is anyone can be their own idol.
Sorry for rambling incoherently I hope some of this makes sense and was relevant ;;
