Japanese culture is pretty moronic a lot of the time, it deserves to be mocked. I have no issue with how they report most of their news, like say the antics of creepy otaku. You have to be a moron to not be able to sepparate the fact from the opinion on thier blog posts. And calling it a site for pedophiles, give me a break. The lolicon content on the blog is pretty freaking small. If you want to go down that route, you may as well stop watching anime all together. [EDIT: No [expletive] excessive quoting.

As much as of an "otaku" I am, it still pisses me off the way hard core fans treat her. I agree with you 100%, I might be a fan boy of hers but what she likes to do in HER PERSONAL life is HER DAMN BUSINESS. This is really starting to piss me off as well and sometimes it's embarrassing to lumped together with those idiots. This is kinda of similar i remember reading an article online some where "not shitaku" that said the creator of b gata h kei was receiving death threat's because get this "the main female lead in anime didn't have pure thought's.... that' way beyond sad...The same went for "crazy shrine maidens" when they found out the female lead wasn't a virgin.

She was spoiling future shows by talking about them before they were shown. Aya did a lot of other 'crazy' stuff for someone trying to get into show business as well on it including getting deep into her personal life with stuff no one really wanted to know. Taming of the Shrew time maybe?

I'm no expert on idols and the like, but I know I've heard of some being forced to take a work break by their management/agency if they did something that causes PR problems. If you believe certain blogs, Hirano does that on a daily basis.

She basically chose to commit career suicide as far as the Japanese entertainment industry is concerned last year by throwing the tantrum she did.
Like it or not, there is a certain meta-game that you have to abide by the rules for to remain an idol/seiyuu in Japan, and she basically broke the majority of the taboos and ruined her own career. Those rules include publicly insulting her anime fans, bragging about having multiple boyfriends or whatever it was, saying she didn't want to do voice work anymore, etc. Now she's surprised that nobody wants her for voicework, and her live-action roles never panned out after all the grief she gave her manager, etc? |

Scrub is really prevalent in gaming communities today even o,o Dunno when it became archaic, but I hear and see it used all the time.
Pretty much this. I love her work, but generally just don't care about anything else. This is really the first I've heard about anything she's done, and only because it said she wouldn't be VAing anymore. |

I heard that she wasn't being given any roles about a month ago because of the scandal. You know, the one where she admitted on TV that she liked older men and liked having sex with them, and constantly cheated. Or something like that. It's too bad she'll never join the anime world again. Game world, maybe? But it certainly was a shock. I mean, how many other VA's have been PROHIBITED from voice acting?

No kidding, the chaste, pure image that so-called "idols" have to maintain is pathetic, and dare I say, even sexist. She has a right to do what she wants as a human being; it's not long she has drug problems. |

It is sexist. Women's rights as far as employment goes in a Japan is a joke. Anyone who has studied it will tell you as much. [EDIT: No [expletive] excessive quoting. If it's a direct reply in which your post will a appear right under the other, there's no need to quote. Or simply use @. -TK] |

It's referring to the song "No Scrubs" by TLC from 1999. It's a song that discusses the unwillingness of women to engage in a relationship with men who are unemployed, grimy, unsophisticated, or poorly-mannered. In counter, Sporty Thievz released "No Pigeons" about unsightly, substandard women, accusing them of wearing "fake hair" (weaves), having "more than one baby father," and "stripping all week to go clubbing." And this has been your weekly obscure trivia infodump for the week here on ANN. Good day. |

It sounds strange that she's being "prohibited", I really liked her VA work as many do. But I guess the important question for her is if she really likes it and all the baggage that goes with it. Being a star ain't easy!
If she really wishes to continue doing VA work, then I'm sure she can always leave her agency and a whole line of companies will be waiting to pick her up. If not, well that's history, and like all things that era will be swallowed whole into the infinity of countless times forgotten. I wish her well on whatever she decides to do. |

lol At this point she the best she can hope for to join a h-game voicing role. Her career is pretty much dead now. |

Maybe she violated the "don't rock the boat" agency rules, by having a boyfriend or getting smeared "non-pure" or something bad like that.
