Ya'll Postin' in a Troll Thread. Also, READ THE RULES
Tyrannical iron-fisted asshole Friendly neighborhood mod here.
While I am sorely tempted to delete the previous post, my reasons for hesitating were expressed nicely by omg_its_gackt:
"This post did sadly sound like half his fandom though. I'm just happy to see there are people out there that DON'T drop him once he does something different. My faith in the fandom is kind of restored a bit."
Unfortunately I can't freeze the whole thread or turn comments off or set it to members-only or I would. Maybe OP will be so kind to do so. But unless your overwhelming desire is to have it deleted, I'd like to leave it there.
Secondly, I must remind everyone to please read the community rules prior to submitting posts (I even made the text larger so you don't have to squint anymore). I feel really guilty when I have to reject posts and I've got several sitting in the queue that I'm waffling over.
In particular, please heed the following:

Oh gosh, I don't know where to start.
For one thing, once someone is revealed to be a troll, please remember one of the first rules of the internet: DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS.
Second of all, in case you missed the boat, 子悪魔ヘヴェン/Koakuma Heaven IS A SATIRE of the ageha/gyaru subculture and gyaru moji. Gackt has not sold out for really reals, it is essentially a joke.
Finally: should I delete the previous post and/or ban the author?

In particular, please heed the following:
- No DVD/CD requests. I'm sorry but I can't please everyone so I have to go with the majority. Refer to jmusic_uploads. Scans (of magazines, albums, flyers, whatever) can be found or requested at jrock_scans.
- Please do not share the entirety of an album or single. See above.
- FRIENDS-LOCK DOWNLOADS, especially of MP3s
- Before submitting, ask yourself if your post is relevant to hundreds of readers
- DO NOT DELETE OTHER PEOPLE'S COMMENTS. If there is a problem, PM me ASAP.
- Speaking of which, if you see something objectionable, flamey, whatever, PM me about it. I try to check comments to make sure things are okay but I can't monitor everything all the time.
