Wow, this got WAY too long...... U___U*

Mar 02, 2012 01:41

OK, I guess this post's a long time coming..... 9_9
But where do I even start?
I want to basically talk about the current atmosphere of our fandom that I feel might be a bit stifling to some of us in terms of critiquing GACKT or anything related to GACKT. I feel like there's a trend in the fandom where people can't criticize anything he says or does ( Read more... )

I'm not going to go on with my usually long ass comments because the subject has worn me out so much, & even though I kinda sorta agree & disagree with you in a way, I think this is a beautiful post. It's posts like this that make fans seem comfortable about their opinions, you know?

My biggest peev about all of this, honestly, is the ones who are disgusted by it, yet do the exact same thing by objectifying him in a way, or making him come out to be a sex object. How is okay for the fan to treat him as a sex object, writing/saying smutty things about him, but then he makes a comment doing the same thing, & suddenly it's not okay? That's my biggest problem. & I know he mostly objectifies himself too, which gets the fangirls riled up, of course, but when he's grinding & groping, no fangirl is thinking 'wow, he's my inspiration' right now ( ... )

Usually, when there is fandom related issues, we often talk about it, but we didn't get the chance to this time, since we weren't on at the same time & whatnot. I'm glad that I could calmly talk to someone who has both agreeing & disagreeing points without being disrespected in anyway. That's why I love posts like this & talking to you about them.

I understand what you mean. I understand people being taken aback by it, but I'm so surprised that this surprises fans when he has said so much worse. Like people are getting so shocked & pissed now is what made me blink. Don't get me wrong, I don't think he should say these things. What he says doesn't make it okay just because he's 'Gackt'. I hope people don't think I'm blind to this either because I don't see anything wrong with it, you know? xD; Now say if he was like.. meeting fans, whipping it out & forcing their heads down, THEN I would be completely disgusted just like I wouldn't really stick my head into his chest, as tempting as it is haha. I just see this ( ... )

Well, as much as I followed that discussion on twitter, the original one, I'd just say it was that drop over the top of a full glass, when water just starts flowing over? It can only be a small drop too... I mean a person can take that much, but at some point it just overflows... It can happen anytime to anyone... That's how people are! And then as usually these days in our fandom with all the arguments for and against it, it just ran out of proportions...

Not to say his sexism (be it true or not is not really a point here) is one of the most deeply running wounds that divides this fandom...:/

I didn't know the discussion you were talking about was the one I missed on Twitter ( ... )

Totally understandable. When you put it that was, I do see what you mean by it. It's kind of like, yeah, we know he does it, but then there is that moment where it just goes a step too far. I guess maybe I didn't realize that right away because it was discussed right at that moment, so I was caught up in the freshness of it xD But yes, I totally see your point of view. That unfunny idiot LOL ( ... )
