SKE48 | Don't be an idol toxic fan like a sports toxic parent

It may be a fan, not an idol, who is out of control

Sports Toxic Parents Who Promote Abuse Violence in Japan

According to the article on Sports Toxic Parents, there seems to be such a scene when parents join a children's sports club.

The coach arranges the children and slaps each one.

When I asked other parents, "Is it okay for my child to be beaten?", She said, "They are going to the national convention, so they have to be done that much." What are you saying that you've fallen asleep? She answered with a mysterious face as if to say.

The children who belong to the sports club leaders are punished as a penalty.

Can you sympathize with this?

Some will agree, others will never forgive.

This time, I would like to think about what kind of support is beneficial to idols as a fan, using SKE48, which sells athletic clubs, as a theme.

Recently, a new performance was announced at SKE48, and Anna Makino was appointed to choreograph the song and teach dance.

In addition, SKE48-related TV programs aired as a documentary about Makino's strict guidance and how the members discussed each other.

This should be received as a TV, but what I was interested in was the reaction of the fans.

Their stance that leaders need to threaten.

They understand that it is necessary.

I thought this was similar to what the sports toxic parents said and did this time.

The sports toxic parent appeals to the leader to be strict, and the originally strict leader accepts it as support and interprets the method as a straightforward method.

Read the article below, which points out that coaches and parents are the two wheels that make sports coaching runaway.

"It's okay, I won't hit him until your son is in the 4th grade." A terrifying word from the coach of the prestigious basketball team "Sports Toxic Parents" who still leave their children to the coach | PRESIDENT Online

It was written by sports journalist Yuko Shimazawa based on her own experiences.

The parent-child relationship may or may not be similar to the relationship between an idol and a fan.

Parents are obliged to raise their children and do not receive compensation.

It's not obligatory for fans to support idols, and it's not strange to ask for happiness in return for paying.

What they have in common is that idols can't work without fans, just as children depend on their parents to maintain their lives.

Also, it seems that idols may want to do their best to sing and dance with the support of fans so that children can feel love from their parents' actions and teachings and get a way to go out into society and become independent.

There is an exchange of warmth and gratitude as a person.

As idol enthusiasts may know, there was a case in 2021 in which Planck Stars, an idol group in Hiroshima, made a noise on Twitter. 

A person named Iroha Tanaka joined in the middle, but she withdrew in about nine months.

The reason is that otaku (deep funs) feels uncomfortable.

I do not understand the intention of the operation of Planck Stars, which has released the direct text so far.

Also, it seems that this group originally had unpleasantness as one of the directions, so it seems that fans also thought that purely unpleasantness was a form of support.

I can't say which is worse.

However, it can be considered that it was excessive, escalated and exceeded the permissible range.

There is also a part that can be used as a reference as a fan of SKE48.

SKE48 is a sports club.

Fans will support the athletic club accordingly.

The fans who gather will probably like the athletic club from the beginning.

Fans will also support the memory that it is a legitimate way of cheering.

However, if the way of cheering is spurred and becomes more and more, there is a risk of violence.

The idol may be starting to feel inward and distressed.

And when the idol announces her hiatus or graduation, she only realizes that she was really painful and overkill.

There, we fans will be faced with a reality.

"Are you pushing a group or an individual idol?"

Those who choose to push the group may encourage idols who can't keep up to leave.

Those who push an individual idol may question the direction of the group.

The important thing is not to establish the eccentric community-specific values ​​there.

Be careful not to normalize the "adult bullying" created by the community of sports toxic parents and leaders.

Review yourself from how to support idols

Both parents and leaders are human.

If they doesn't do what they want, they may blame or threaten because of their flaws.

But it is not beautification or justification.

The person who has done something to be careful should accept the content of the attention, but the person who has been careful should always ask himself whether the attention was appropriate.

Some of you may be offended by the fact that your style is pointed out one by one, even though you are cheering for the idol with the money you earned.

I'm sorry for that.

I think that many fans are watching over the idols with a calm and objective point of view.

Rather, it can be said that this is an opportunity to re-recognize one's personality by supporting the idol.

It means that you can reconfirm by supporting idols whether you treat your children, subordinates, and juniors in the same way at home, at work, and at school.

If you see an element of toxic fan, it might be a good idea to review whether you are doing it to the people around you.
