To me it's gross to think of managers dating the idols who work for them. But I like your ideas about how it could be done semi-realistically in game.
Like I said, I agree with you. I personally can’t consider dating any of the idols if they’re younger than 23 or 24 at least, and even then it feels a little skeevy. I hired them as talent, so that’s just a big ol’ red flag right there. That’s why I think a risk system is critical. Personally I think it shouldn’t be allowed under 18 at least.
I've heard of performers dating their managers in real life, but they were in their 20’s/30’s.
I’d read dating was planned from the beginning, and just figured it would be good to get the idea out that dating an idol from your roster is a big risk (personally and professionally).
