CATDOLL: Fans of "Osomatsu-kun": If the six twins became cute girls, would they still be criticized by otakus?

Recently, a Japanese netizen started a topic on Twitter: "Otakus who criticize "Matsumoto", if this was an animation about six beautiful girls voiced by female voice actors, would you be happy?" The overwhelming provocation triggered a war of words between otakus and Matsumoto.

Among the many replies, some directly criticized Osomatsu-na and fujoshi. "I'm not criticizing Osomatsu-na, but fujoshi who are always looking for a sense of presence no matter where they are. This is the same as criticizing LLers!", "Osomatsu-na and the like seem to be the type who suddenly wakes up and reflects on why they liked that thing in the first place, or the type of woman who starts dating an ugly guy by chance but suddenly returns to reality and finds that she hates him and breaks up with him immediately."

The other part of the replies gave a negative answer to the question. "I'm not happy. The plot of "Osomatsu" is not that interesting. The reason why it is so popular is that female fans think the characters are cute.", "If "Osomatsu" caters to otakus, it will become like "The Idolmaster" or "Love Live!"... ah, it feels so disgusting.", "There is so little competition for gay animations, even if they are bad, they can still sell. Please don't compare them with cute animations that are in a state of division among the heroes!", "No, if it's interesting, I'll watch it, and if it's not interesting, I won't watch it. It's that simple.", "Even if such an animation appears, otakus probably won't shout on Twitter, 'I found the real Osomatsu man'."

"Osomatsu" is directed by Yoichi Fujita, who once directed "Gintama". Popular voice actors such as Sakurai Takahiro, Kamiya Hiroshi, and Ono Daisuke all participated in the performance. The first season of the animation was broadcast in October 2015. The popularity of the animation rose rapidly after it was broadcast, and it had an absolutely high support rate among female fans (Osomatsu girls), and triggered a major social phenomenon.
