Half the people here think of this hobby as escapism, right? Does it not make sense that there would be people who want self-insert escapism, too?
Fuck, considering it's the idol journey most of the time, from low beginnings to high highs, isn't that like, the epitome of a self-insert escapist hobby for women? You get to go
>She's just like me!AND you get the parasocial benefits of a possible friend, AND you get a whole community of people who share the same feelings? That shit is like, prime for this. Not to mention I'm only factoring in the people who are legitimate fans of the girls; you factor in the people who want drama? Or gossip? Who the fuck do you think is fueling the fire of gossip in a thread like this or the catalog?
Did you HONESTLY think people call the gossipers "women" as just an insult? Good lord, who do you think is writing all the smut? MEN?
