Most people obsessing over various idols are obsessing over a carefully constructed fake image anyway. At least with an obviously fictional idol, people are more honest about the fact.
Good point actually. The pop industry is built around crafting cynically made up images, and the actual singer is often an incidental figurehead.
I guess this is the logical conclusion—when there is nothing real about the image at all, there isn’t even a living person behind it. In which case we should ask if this is the direction in which we want to go, or it’s time to look back and rethink it.
