Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of idol groups that I like and have gotten into over the years, but that doesn't mean the companies aren't in many ways extremely backward and aren't often in line at all with what the current mindset of the general public is; just the mindset of what caters to the otaku audience, who like it or not are what account for the majority of their sales.
It's almost like the company said, "whoops! This isn't okay to do in modern japan any more?? Even the majority of the people in Japan think this?? Oh sorry, didn't realize. Taking it down and will make a note, no more head shaving punishments in the future. Got it."
