Oshi no Ko is a Dark Look at the Entertainment Industry

Two corrections were made to the write-up: the murderer is pronounced dead, not locked up and the "someone" who fed the murderer information is changed to be more ambiguous instead of associated with Ai's agency.

We apologize for these errors.

The rest of the plot aside, there's just something inherently weird about male gynecologists. I guess that's intentional here?

It's quoting from memory at a live premier at Anime Boston - it's still an amazing review despite the one or two things that needed correcting.

Thank you again for the review and noting that it is a spoiler-filled review.

I was telling friends all weekend;
“For the first third? CONCERN. LOTS of CONCERN. When they reached 4 or 5? “Well, it’s not as weird now AND I’m invested” by the end of it I hated the fact I needed to wait longer for more.”

His occupation is described as an OB-GYN.

I don't know how reliable this site is, but it claims only 44.5% of OB/GYNs in Japan were women in 2018.

At least nine Japanese medical schools manipulated admissions, in part to exclude female students, a government investigation has found.

The inquiry was launched in August, after the prestigious Tokyo Medical University (TMU) was found to have tampered with the scores of female applicants from as early as 2006.

Back in August the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper quoted an unnamed source saying officials at TMU had adopted a "silent understanding" to reduce the number of female entrants over concerns female graduates were not going on to practice medicine in employment.

But then, last month, an investigation revealed that the school had been falsifying exam entrance scores for years to make sure more men got in than women. School authorities believed women would give up their careers after having kids.

Earlier this week Juntendo University said it set the bar higher for women because they were better at communication than men and would have an advantage in the face-to-face interview component.

Broadcaster NHK reported that the manipulation in some years had removed as much as 10 percent of women whose true scores merited acceptance, adding up to perhaps hundreds of denials for nearly a decade due to systematic discrimination.
