Hmm. Funny that he has the same line of defense as his stans. :/ I don't want to pick sides here, but it's really irrelevant to the issue of rape as a whole, so I wish people wouldn't immediately default to that reasoning. Not to mention that it's especially tasteless for him to say it about himself in a public statement regarding the rape allegations against him - I mean, try to at least have some tact.
Do I seem like such a despicable man?
If it's true that he says a lot of misogynistic shit (I don't know, GACKT has never interested me much), then it's not surprising that some people would consider him despicable enough to do something like this.
I agree. That statment if completely out of line considering the topic of rape. And it's exactly what the stans are saying. Yeah, Gackt definitely does NOT have the best record on talking about women. REALLY NOT. Obviously that doesn't make him a rapist and I honestly hope this didn't happen but ... I feel like the overall mood of this blogentry is really derogative somehow.
yeah, like i mentioned below, i don't think anyone is knocking at gackt for defending himself. i'd be angry too if someone accused me such a thing!
but i think, in especially in this case, he needs to have tact. if he wants to look good and if he wants people to believe his side of the story, maybe, just maybe, it's a good idea to be ~politically correct~.
The people here who were screaming guilty until proven innocent are just as bad as those of you, fans or not, who were slut-shaming and blaming the "victim" from the start.
Nonetheless, why no one was waiting until we got both sides of the story and jumped to conclusions without gaining actual credible information (like o iunno a police report) is still beyond me.
also, the blomaga has a lot more information on this and clears more things up than this LINE post but ok
Well um I mean it's good that he went through a lawyer and it's important to hear both sides but ppl need to stop with the whole "why would I need to rape someone when people want to have sex with me" because e e k
right? i don't think anyone is going to knock him for defending himself but maybe it's just best he didn't say anything beyond "don't worry - my attorneys are on the case".
yes exactly omg I can't fault him for defending himself if it's not true of course but he could have done it with just a few lines denying the accusations and saying it's being dealt with through the proper channels or something. he's not coming across well with this :(
you know, gackt, it would have just been better if you just said "oh, my lawyers are on the case" instead of this whole bullshit about how ~attractive~ you are and how ~you don't need to rape~.
it don't help at all, I was raging at that "Their content reads like an erotic novel." and "I'm doing just fine with women, I have no need to tie up a resisting woman and satisfy my need~~!!!!" bit this afternoon
when i saw it last night, i was like "the fuck is this?" and ranted for a good while on twitter. i'm just...
like, the man can defend himself all he wants but the arrogance blinded me more than him simply stating he's taking legal action.
and the "erotic novel"? i....would personally consider that a red flag if something as violent and horrifying. maybe not for this particular allegation - but you know what i mean? i mean, i'm talking to other people about this and it could be a misunderstanding/mistranslation.
