It's an interest that can EASILY turn off folks here in the West and can make you a VERY EASY target to be assaulted both verbally and physically.
-----------------------
I'm willing to bet that no one, in the history of the universe, has been assaulted in any way for liking Momoclo. So quit making stuff up.

You keep painting this picture about the judgemental society you live in, and it's not real. No one cares about your hobbies. You're the one who's constantly being judgemental, not this imaginary "West" you keep talking about. The rest of us live in the same West, and no one ever bothers us about liking a Japanese pop act.

The worst thing that will happen, if you tell someone that you like an obscure thing they never heard of, is that they'll be really, really bored of the conversation. As they should be. Because your tastes and hobbies are not important. None of this nonsense you keep posting about matters.

So the answer to your question is: Doesn't matter. Like 'em, don't like 'em. Makes exactly ZERO difference. If you can't decide, flip a coin.

Accidental comment

OK, I'll start by saying that I am also an adult male living in the USA, and I have never been assaulted for openly liking MCZ. Some of my friends might consider it "goofy" at best, but that's about it. Still, apparently whomever you live with likes to beat you up about it for some reason. I'm not you, so I can't say that it doesn't happen to you. What should you do? Make a decision:

1. If you're ashamed of liking them and/or your life is in danger because of it, then yes, you should probably actively work hard to move on. Get rid of all of your memorabilia, delete your bookmarked webpages (including this one), and stop listening to them, watching them, and reading about them. And get professional help. Go to a counselor and/or church group. They have AA-type programs for other general destructive addictions that aren't alcohol related.

or

2. Learn to not be ashamed of things just because others tell you to be. Enjoy what you enjoy in a healthy manner, if you're able to.

But in the end, you need to look deep within yourself and face your issues. Ask and answer these questions truthfully to yourself. Why do you get obsessed with female Japanese pop groups? Before MCZ was Baby Metal, right? If you quit MCZ, will another group fill that hole and you just find yourself in the same situation all over again? What are all the reasons you like MCZ? Why is that bad? Do you genuinely like the music? Is what they sing about immoral or depressing or traumatizing or otherwise harmful to your psyche? Are you ashamed of liking to watch young girls perform? Are you attracted to them in a sexual way or simple guy-girl like kind of way and that upsets you? Is your like of them innocent enjoyment, or is there something deeper in you that scares or concerns you?

These can be hard things to face, but in the end, THAT'S what you need to do. If you like MCZ in a completely innocent way, then you shouldn't feel bad just because someone else calls it something that would otherwise offend or bother you. If you genuinely like their music, find them fun to watch, or even find them attractive, that doesn't make you gross, creepy, stupid, or anything like that. But if you have an unhealthy obsession that makes you fantasize about doing weird things, or stare at them in obsessive ways that's beyond just enjoying their art and antics, then yes, you need to stop. There's a line somewhere, a place where it's unhealthy to let your mind cross that line and go to. I get the sense that you border this line, and again, THAT'S the bigger issue. If you can't stay on the healthy side of the line, where enjoyment is just that, enjoyment, and instead go to an area of unhealthy obsession and dark thoughts, then you probably need to cut it altogether. Actively seek help, actively quit MCZ, and deal with your issues with help, again, from a counselor and/or church.

But, if your enjoyment is innocent, and you are only disrupted by outside forces telling you how bad you are, then you should stand up, fight, and change who you live with. THAT is very unhealthy as well. You should live with people who love and support you, not who tear you down and hurt you just because you like something they may think is weird.

But if I were to guess, I'd say it's the former. But I don't know you, so I don't know. But if the unhealthiness is within you, and not just around you, don't feel ashamed to get help. Be honest with yourself, reach out, and be honest with them so they can help you. It's not a quick fix. You'll have to find a counselor or group that you can build trust with. That's very important. You need to have trust.

And I'm sorry that this fandom has been so hard for you. The world is a big place, and is full of both wonders and darkness. Sometimes what you want to do innocently can become dark, and it hurts. It hurts to face your own darkness, whatever that may be. We all have our vices. You joined this community because there's something GOOD about Momoclo and you wanted to openly enjoy that and talk with other fans, but it's become something bad for you. Deal with the bad. Deal with yourself, and maybe in the future you'll be free to enjoy some of these things healthily. And if not, then leave it out of your life and find other things to do. Most alcoholics have to give up drinking entirely, even if their cousin is able to enjoy a beer at a ballgame and not have any issues. That's OK, too, moving on if you simply can't do something healthily. Either way, get help.

So what about asking a psychoanalyst about this problem. It seems to me that there you can get more qualified help than on the wotas' forum

Thing is for us it IS fandom
Not an obsession, and certainly not unwanted or forced

And like the time you started this it still holds true that none of us have your problem or live in a surrounding where a fandom like this is cause for harrassment
So what do you want us to say?
Anything we could have said we all said back when over and over again.

ebizori is right.
If you feel that this is a FORCED and UNWANTED OBSESSION (for years now) then a psychoanalyst is the ONLY one who can help you.
None of us can
And this is my last comment on it

Against my better judgement (which has told me to just ignore your posts so far), i'm going to chime in once.

Clearly there are quite a few of us here that live in the west - the US in particular. There was a good amount of local attendance at the concerts. Nobody else seems to mention this assault and bullying thing that you repeat over and over. Even barring my personal experience (and just for completeness, I watch videos while I commute and don't hide them from people, I watch them when I travel for work on trains and planes, I have some merch at work, I wear my merch on weekends when i go out and when I travel to other cities/countries for work and pleasure - i have never had any issue with bullying because of either my screen or my clothing), the general population does not seem to have any issues with being a victim of any hate crimes. You seem to like to use the argument "just because it doesn't happen to you does not mean it doesn't happen to me). Based on all the information, it seems that you are the exception and not the rule. That would suggest to me it's not this hobby causing your grief.

Maybe you've put yourself in a situation where you've created a self fulfilling prophecy: you call yourself a loser for liking a girl band, act like a loser because you've deemed yourself as such, and people then treat you that way because you present yourself that way. Or maybe you like telling this story of how american jocks all hate you because you're a nerd who likes girl bands. Or maybe you're trolling. I don't know. What I can confidently say is this seems to be a unique issue for you, and so you might want to examine the actual cause of your misfortunes.

I would not want to say or call myself a loser, but if I’m factually the opposite of those folks, there’s gotta be a word for what’s going on with me or what I am, right?

Well it's not "loser". You shouldn't measure yourself against others, because life is not a competition.

You should only measure yourself against your old self. In other words, try and make some progress towards being a better person. Have goals, try and achieve them. Every time you make progress towards a goal, that's a win, making you a winner. And you're only a loser if you refuse to improve.

I don't know anything about you personally (nor do I wish to, only subject I'm interested in talking about, on this site, is Momoclo), so a suggestion for a first step is this: stop making off topic, repetitive, annoying threads...and stop bumping the old ones you made. That would be an easy win. And a great example of a situation where your win makes everyone a winner.

. I told you about my disabled friend before, remember? He has a counselor provided by Social Security.

I actually do not remember you having a disabled friend. How is he disabled? What was his struggle?

Also, just to let you know: I'm NOT disabled to the point where I cannot live life regularly, but that I am rather slow on doing/saying things correctly and following along as fast others can.
