That's an obsession strictly driven by 2000s social medias era grown-ups interested into digging into anyone's background to search for any tiny (or big in his case, no belittling it) bad moves someone does.

Kids live in the social media age though now, i'm quite confident in saying many kids follow their favourite celebs on social media

If we're talking about 5 year olds then yeah they probabaky won't ever notice, but if we're talking about kids 10 and up a lot of them will probabaly look him up and follow him on social media, I don't think thats unlikely at all really

I grew up in the early 2000s and even I would look up the celebrities I liked as early as when I was like 8 years old, and so did most of my friends, it was already common then

I think this is the exact sort of situation a lot of people are worried about, even if he's not physically in the show being a Kamen Rider means there will be a chunk of kids who associate him with being a hero, and that just feels kind of gross

I'd agree that it's unreasonable conceptually to expect toei to care what any of us think, but it just feels overall weeeeiiird, while I get why some people can shrug it off, I also get why this is enough for others to not even feel comfortable pirating the show

It's just a very specific situation, I don't think anyone has an achievable solution on our end of things, or answer that'll work for everyone, so it just kinda sucks

EDIT: I agree this probabaly deserves its own thread or it'll totally overwhelm any other talk about the show from here on
