While I totally agree with you, you have to understand the Asian aesthetic is very different and what is accepted and desired over there is very different from what non-Asian Americans think is acceptable. I am Asian but i admit when I saw the pics I was kind of horrified. Ok a lot of horrified. Photoshopped eyes aside. They totally are styled to look like, yes dolls, which are what their pop stars are styled to look like, little dolls, and they even do it to their children. It's just the culture. Not unlike hip hop stars here in the US or people who want to be like them dress up their little kids to look like little "thugs", and I use that term in the nicest way LOL. Or the way Brazilians wear their swim suits even young girls, it's not sexualizing them it's just their culture.
