What I thought Oshi no Ko was going to be: Another degenerate reincarnation story featuring a scummy piece of shit for a main character who takes advantage of being a baby for the sake of creeping on his idol mom.
What Oshi no Ko actually is: A surprisingly wholesome and interesting look into the entertainment industry and the darkness surrounding idol culture with lots of twists and mysteries, featuring a main character who's only scummy in the first 11 minutes but then turns out to be the voice of reason and justice for the rest of the show.

reminder that Oshi no Ko and Kaguya Love is War seem to take place in the same universe:
(also matching "twins" shirts)

alright genuine question,
are modern anime fans actually getting worse at noticing plot flags, or am i just seeing that more because they're loud about it?
there have been so many times in the past year where something that was OBVIOUSLY going to happen, Happened, and everyone freaked out about it and swallowed as much copium about it as possible. and like... i get it, i've been caught off guard by things before, but i don't really understand why people are missing the signs that something is NOT going to be to their taste.
if you want to avoid incest, you need to learn how to spot potential incest plots before they actually get there. if you want to avoid 3rd episode tone death, you need to learn how to spot the signs that something is Wrong™ with the world before people start dying. if you want to avoid sexual assault scenes, you need to learn how to read obsessive characters and dangerous situations. if you want to avoid queerbaiting, you need to learn how to look at a piece of media in the context of its genre and largest audience; a shounen story geared towards 14 year olds with a token female character in the core cast is PROBABLY not going to make the main guy and the rival kiss, i'm sorry.
these things should not be catching you off guard. very few times have i seen any of these pulled where the signs weren't screaming at you from day one. hell, even things FAMOUS for catching people off guard, even stuff that did on purpose, the signs are there. There's a massive difference between fans coming up with nasty stuff on their own, and people reading the room and figuring out what sort of story they're in for. you NEED to stop assuming that media you like will follow your own sensibilities, especially stuff from another country.
i cannot emphasize enough how much of a minefield it is trying to be an anime fan who doesn't want to see any incest. for the sake of yourself and everyone who has to deal with it when you get caught off guard, PLEASE LEARN HOW TO SPOT THAT EARLY ON.

Also moment of silence for my Ai fan dragon ive been planning bc per site rules I can't name her just Ai....
BTW thinking about her was what sparked my wish for more symbol eyetypes but I guess arcane primal would also do for her

not quite the quote but
"The idol fan is one who wants to be skillfully lied to"
yeah as a BTS fan thats low key true. Like I love those dudes!
They helped me make friends and gave me a source of hope that not all men are the monsters that we see them as
but I'm also acutely aware that it might be an act they might actually be horrible people which is kind of sad and scary, honestly don't know what I'll do if theres a scandal like that for them
On a different note, I kinda hope they're totally different in their private lives, like I hope that they get to have breathing room you know? They've brought so much joy and happiness to us that I hope they get to live their lives as well as be "BTS" you know?
