Personally I would also go so far as to say let's stop with faux outrage as if it truly mattered to people. I mean seriously...some of the comments here, and elsewhere, over this are simply ridiculous in terms of being so over the top.


That's a very interesting thing to say. Given that adultery is a betrayal of a spouse, angry comments are justified. To commenters who are married or divorced, stories like these would mean a lot to them. Outrage seems better than apathy, at least, if Namikawa is guilty of this.

Angry or upset comments where someone is disappointed are one thing. The outrage and over the top anger are another. I often feel most of the "outrage" is either just pandering or jumping on a bandwagon. I have to be this upset over the private affairs of someone I don't know because it's what you do online. Plus I would wager most of the time the ones most "outraged" by something like this have never been in a long term relationship where you fight and have to work through things. Not to mention often the "outrage" tends to be very disproportionate to the situation in cases like this. Then there's the idea that all relationships have to be the traditional monogamous type. That's a different topic though.

Now I am not apathetic to his wife and situation, nor do I condone such actions and cheating on your spouse. I however am realistic. Couples have issues. Spouses make mistakes. It is also their personal business, not mine. So while I might be disappointed to hear someone I like as an actor or actress etc. has committed adultery I'm not going to go into a frothing rage over it and condemn the person and call them evil. I've been the one cheated on in relationships and I still never got to the level of supposed outrage and anger someone people claim to be in threads like this. I trust that explains my stance better.

The head of ANN (Tempest) pretty much gave the best response.

Oh I see what you mean now. That totally makes sense.
