How would you feel if your life was totally controlled by another human being? What if they used that control to your harm? Forced you to humiliate yourself? Would you feel that arrangement was just?
I wonder how you'd feel about "Occupational responsibility" if you'd ever been on the receiving end of such a contract yourself.
Employees have the responsibility to do a good job, but likewise Employers have the responsibility of ensuring their employees are healthy, happy and have good working conditions. A "no-dating" policy might seem mild to you, but it's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the control the production companies have over these Idols. These idols have long since ceased to be real people in their eyes, and are now simply products to be sold, and thrown away when they've been used up. If you say the idols are failing in their occupational responsibilities, I would say their employers and fans have failed even more.
