Or how about this Tumblr user, who feels the event is in poor taste?
See? We’re weeping. Weeping so hard that our tears flow like waterfalls!
Sarcasm aside, forgive me if I have no sympathy in this case.
It’s a premiere, hosted by a Japanese fashion magazine, targeted solely at females in Japan, aged 17-27. They are catering to their audience, and creating an atmosphere that would be welcoming to their clientele, while also creating a photo-friendly setup that will work well within their publication. The premiere will generate interest in the series in a group that would likely pass it up otherwise, and it will help to grow the brand as a whole. This isn’t segregation, this isn’t “misandry“, this is business.
If people want to get upset and have temper tantrums about this, they’re free to do so. At the same time, the rest of us are free to sit back and snark about it.
