Miku Natsume, a 26-year-old Japanese TV announcer has found herself out of a work from her long-term built up career due to a picture of her holding a special packages of condoms.
Her career was on an all time height from her first TV appearance in 2007. Giving her a chance to be a part of several varieties of TV-shows. However, since 2009 when a photography reached the high speed connectivity world otherwise known as the Internet, she has been seeing a lot of canceled TV-appearance time which in the end left her with a “paid” leave, which soon in itself also ended.
The photography so much discussed photography (presumably leaked via the usual boyfriend channel) was one which was of her with a package of condoms and nothing more.
This if not entirely, will most likely leave a heavy dent in her TV persona.
After seeing as no income was her future within the industry she had no choice but to resign. Whilst technically it still remains as a resignation, what the Japanese business practice teaches in situations like these are to not “fire” ones employee but to force themselves to resign from that position which they held by going through the similar situation such as this.
2ch unlike how they usually tend to be characteristically known for, are showing themselves in a different light to this unwrapped knowledge:
“Come on – a condom should be fine, it’s not like it was a sex tape.”
“She’s not even a seiyuu… the people who bash these women for having sex lives are crazy.”
“She isn’t even an idol. Why is there a problem with her having sex?”
“It seems TV stations are treating their announcers like idols these days.”
“Poor girl.”
“How did this get leaked anyway?”
“She lost so much through just that 1 pic…”
“Now we can await her porn star debut.”
“Her TV bosses are as tough on sex as you lot are.”
“She got fired over something this trivial?”
“If they don’t like it, then they shouldn’t put anyone but virgins and children on TV.”
“Can’t she sue them?”
“Her ex-boyfriend is the one she should sue…”
“Blame it on those weekly rags who published the pics.”
“This is unfair dismissal.”
“There must be another reason behind all this…”
“So it’s not just creepy otaku, our entire society is a bunch of creepy virgin hunters.”
“Everyone made a fuss about creepy otaku whining about Nagi and Aya, but really, is our wider society any better?”
“What is wrong with using a condom?”
“She is doing a public service by promoting safe sex – she should be praised!”
“This is retarded. If condoms are bad because they are associated with people having sex, shouldn’t people with children also be barred from TV as they are also associated with sex?”
“I could understand if it was a pic of her face dripping with semen, but this is just ridiculous…”
