☂ I rarely comment on
kattunlove, but apparently I feel really strongly about the current Arashi fansubbing issues.
This kind of confirmed a few of my thoughts and kind of makes
stormy_team and
sbkfansubs seem... well, yes. Not that I disagree with locking subs, but the whole application process is just so.. out there

I think my main problem with sbkfansubs is how rude they came across as--it was very much a case of 'we are very pissed off and so we are going to be nasty and condescending and if you don't like it you can fuck off'. And like I understand their irritation about people putting the passwords to the latest Quiz Show subs onto the hate meme, but at the same time I can understand why someone did it. Idk. I'm not going to join sbkfansubs or stormy_team because I don't care all that much about Arashi or K8 and I'm not about to try and justify my love for either group.
I'm pleased to hear about Kame's drama. Me and Tia sort of came to the same conclusion, in that most people were probably either watching the baseball game or out--afterall Saturday night at 8 pm is when most people are out having fun!
I hope the weather clears up for you!

Yeah, I agree pretty much. My impression of both stormy-team and sbkfansubs is that they're really just playing power games. And to be honest, all this backlash was pretty predictable. They thought they could still retain goodwill from fans while treating them rudely and condescendingly and like potential 'streaming criminals'? Heh, good luck with that. There's a reason why 'guilty until proven innocent' laws don't work.
I love Arashi but I'm not willing to put up with being treated like that or letting them judge whether my love for Arashi is 'good enough'. The whole thing just raises my heckles.
Me too! Though it looks like the comment from a fan and the screenshot about the ratings averaging where deleted >_>
It's sunny but cold. Ah winter ;_;
