Another ICONIQ-Related Post (Ignore it if this topic upsets you.)

[excused_early]

So, apparently there has been another GACKT-related comment from ICONIQ in a public place that caused some stir in the fandom.  I had no idea about this since I only follow her on Twitter (and barely at that) and I stay far away from Tumblr (where the majority of ugliness seems to happen nowadays) but I found out about it in one of my friend's

GACKT Pantsy

Please correct me if I am writing something stupid, but didn't GACKT tell in an interview (2009) that he only hated underwear for women and that he had 300 "pantsies" at home?
(Oh...and sorry for my bad English)

Yup, I also watched this clip on youtube for some years ago, if we're talking about the same thing of course. Something about him disliking underwear on women etc, and then he called underwear for undies or something similar. (sorry if the nickname for underwear is wrong haha xD)

I think, we are talking about the same clip (GACKT - Pantsy talk).
It's because of this clip that I don't think that ICONIQ was talking about GACKT...

LOL sorry I only remembered the Norwegian slang/nickname for underwear (undik/undies) of course, it's pantsy talk :) I think it's still on youtube. so yup we're talking about the same clip, he even brought some of them to the show and discussed them ^^

(if I remember correctly) he says that he has 300 but implied/said that its hard to find ones that are comfortable, fit right, and have style... etc.

and in the interviews from when he was younger (early 2000) said he likes to be nude in his own room (hotel room and/or at home) ...

and also in that pantsy interview he was asked to pick which underwear he prefers ... and picked a fundoshi which probably feels as close to naked as he can get ^^;;

gackt is apparently picky and classy when it comes to underwear lol

Re: GACKT Pantsy

LOL I don't remember if he said he had 300 pantsies, but what I remember him saying is that he normally doesn't like wearing underwear and so doesn't wear them unless he has to, but he does have to wear them for work, so when he has to, he wears pantsies.

And yes, he's repeatedly said he doesn't like seeing underwear on women.
