Not sure if I should be feeling sorry for the person writing this...I mean, 25 years old isn't that bad, it's an overstatement to say that they have nothing to live for due to whatever lack-of qualifications they have.
And those comments on the discussion area...as a former idol fan I never really did see the "no dating" rule as oppressive, if any case the rule actually helps to make the members concentrate on being an idol; besides, the rule only applies to het relationships anyways, I doubt as much of a big fuss will happen over a yuri relationship between the members. Side note, I really hope those that call out the 48 group or any idol group for making a dating-sim, never buy a dating-sim related to their favorite anime or claim any character as their "waifu"; it's hypocritical to claim that the idol industry is "selling the illusion that the members are available" and then proceed to fantasize a relationship with a character that isn't bloody real.
Honestly it's depressing to know that the anime fandom still share this immature one-sided rivalry with the idol fandom like a kid trying to impress their alcoholic parents (10 pts if anyone got this reference). I didn't see as much hate towards anime from the idol fandom when I was still active in them, but yet there's always that hate coming from the anime fandom, even when the anime industry encompassing explicit material is more depraved than the idol industry*.
* - Being obssessed with an idol but still arguably supporting their career vs having the existence of ppl that enjoy reading doujins of female characters being forced into explicit activities often against their will or other hardcore and generally disgusting stuff. The former is just odd, but it's no difference than buying the newest edition figure of a favorite anime chara, the latter however, is just vile and revolting.
