I was talking about this post

What's so wrong about actually being chaste and innocent and just plain nice, especially when a girl is still a minor, as the vast majority of idols are? Some might call it "unrealistic," but in my opinion, that's just another word for "unprincipled." We're supposed to be better than our base natures. If I was interested in the adventures of drunken whores, I have plenty to choose from in American pop culture.
Furthermore, it's interesting that you think the idol-wota relationship is directly equivalent to the prostitute-john relationship. (Never mind that it makes prostitution a bad thing, which contradicts your argument that it's okay for them to be promiscuous and also doesn't seem very liberated in this era of "it's my body and I can do what I want.") Why is it all about sex? And if it is all about sex, then how can there be so many child, female, and gay fans? Why are you a fan? Could the image of chaste innocence be appealing for reasons other than sex? Could it simply be that it's entertaining to watch cute girls do cute things? If yes, then why is it okay for you but not for other fans who are the same age, gender, and orientation as you?
not about DSQueen's that follows it.
I think there are two discussions happening altogether. The one about dating rules and the one how this particular case was managed. About the first one I don't really have much to say, but that when I became actively part of the fandom I knew about this and how it worked and therefore I accepted it. When I buy MM's singles I'm supporting the industry. No matter what I think of the rule I'm condemning it.
On how they managed this case I already stated it: awful and makes me wanna never hear of AKB48 again. Never I was more than a casual listener, but this makes me no even want to hear how their new singles sound.
If what happened to this girl had happened in H!P instead it would be a huge problem for me, ngl If this happened to one of my favourites (MM, Risako, Nakky, long etc) I will burn UFA down
