That's been the unfortunate reality in the idol scene, and for entertainment people in Japan in general, for decades...

You'd think antis would've moved on to the next new talent by now, Hirano isn't even relevant these days nor an idol anymore ffs. Come on folks, get a hobby, let it go, and move on.

She was “caught” sleeping with members of her band, and the otaku disowned her for having a sex life. It was (and still is) deeply messed up.

Is it really that surprising? Japan is pretty damn conservative (even moreso than the US right now), and almost every piece of fiction pushes their purity culture nonsense. There's a reason people joke about how lewd anime girls are when they touch another person's hands. This is just the logical end result.

I don't get how having relationships is considered Liberal, even in a very conservative country.

Exactly. Idols are born of this obsession and thrive in it, like Hirano did (although their producers/managers are the ones benefiting from it obviously), until something bad happens. Must admit I myself glanced at a 12-15 years old open air junior idols concert once while strolling Nagoya central park, wondering what kind of people could watch this, and judging by the looks of spectators, most of them where 40+ men, so you know...

The whole industry is rotten. It deliberately creates an illusion of intimacy, like those contemptible hand-shaking events.
But I want to remind people that the boyband idols also suffer abuse and threats. It's rotten all around.

Male idols do get threats, but there is a lot of documentation that suggests female idols are far more scrutinized disproportionately in comparison.

You have to be a real low life loser to threaten someone cause they have a relationship with someone not them, like that was much a given. It is utter pathetic that after all this time she still gets these threats.
Just move on, you pathetic low lifes and actually come out your mother's basement for real.
Sheesh.

Because sexual liberation and Women's Rights have always been left-wing causes, while conservatism protects traditional patriarchal norms and promotes things like abstinence-only sex education, purity culture, etc.
