Tell Us More, Oh Wise Man Simmons
The original tweet by the New York Post’s account is enough to make anyone cringe. A man marrying a hologram bride only to realize that it’s challenging to connect with her? You don’t have to be Japanese to understand this concept. But what makes this story even more bizarre is world-renowned rockstar Gene Simmons’ terrible commentary on the situation. When he’s not preoccupied with making music for middle-aged dads, the KISS frontman often offers unsolicited “words of wisdom.”
Simmons’ defense of the Otaku culture is both unexpected and humorous. It’s unclear whether Simmons was prompted to defend the guy or if he simply felt everyone needed an explanation of Otaku culture. Most likely, it was the latter.
