意味

Changing who your favourite is — switching your primary allegiance from one idol/character to another.

推し変 (oshi-hen) combines 推し (fave) with 変える (to change). It describes the sometimes-dramatic act of switching your primary 推し. In some fan communities, this is a weighty decision with social implications — it may mean leaving one fan group and joining another. Reactions from fellow fans can range from understanding to accusations of betrayal, depending on the fandom's culture.
