>>49337507She expressed how she thought idol culture was weird and the fans have an abnormal/unhealthy relationship with their idol. She had a very negative perspective of idol/parasocial culture. I believe it was in the TT collab. Also, her RM has made songs that parodies simp culture back when it was more looked down upon. In the best case, she didn't understand idol culture. And in worst case, she was disgusted by it. Either way, it didn't excuse her actions towards some of her fans.
>>49337516Well, management has done a good job throwing everything under the carpet. Mori made a post on Reddit about the cuckbeat image and it was downvoted - in even that the hugbox of a page. Of course, it was deleted later when it got traction. Mori also posted on Twitter after a performance of some kind - I don't remember which - where she was in awe of her senpai's and said it 'changed' her perspective on idol culture. I thought it was a dumb thing to post/confirm her negative perspective on idol culture. And, sure enough, that tweet was deleted. So I do think, management is aware and tries their best. Mori understands her position now too so it's probably easier for her manager.
