JE fandom creeps me out....
I think I need to state a few things before I start with this post.
- First off, don't be offended! While there will be a few insults they aren't directed at anyone personal, neither groups nor communities nor members or anything! It's simply my opinion but I'm not writing this because I'm bored and want to bash you - keep that in mind!
- This post is ( Read more... )

Have you joined a forum with rules which are more about imposing you to display maximum fangirlism than ensuring the forum works well? I have.
No never have for the sole reason you just mentioned. Well how do I know it would be like this? Jade warned me, more or less. She kinda experienced this with another band so we're both a bit cautious when it comes to this and your comment just proves our point further (sadly!)
Yes, I can pause things I like. I pause my hobbies and pleasant but not necessary things (like drawing, making cakes, whatever...) when I need time for more important things (work, studies...).
I may have chosen the wrong word there, but I'm sure you still like your hobbies even when you don't have time for them. What I meant was more along the lines of "oh I don't like BandX or w/e hobby now and I do as I'd never heard of it! But 4 weeks later I'm ( ... )

I wish someone warned me (u__u). As the forum was mostly member-locked, I didn't get to see enough of it to realize the fangirl chaos may have been imposed by the forum rules. And I didn't experience such nonsense before.
Do you know a band called UVERworld? You reference for fandom comparison is m.o.v.e, mine is UVERworld. I discovered them when they debuted and immediately became a fan. I joined their 1st and the 2nd English-speaking fan forum, and even if it soon turned fangirlish, rules were still sensible and people had common sense! Well actually the 1st forum didn't even have rules, people just used common sense and the forum worked smoothly (until it got really too big and some rules became necessary).
To think that I lost interest in their music (they improved a lot technically over years, but their music no longer have the same taste... sob sob) to fall for KAT-TUN XD
I may be mistaken but all those "leaving/ ( ... )

I guess it was an utopia after all, since the forum closed after a few years (if I remember well the owner closed the 1st one and opened a new one, instead of trying to change the 1st one, that was a smart move lol)
that really scares me
I want to believe we only have the IMPRESSION those grown up girls are totally immature and into Johnny's because they just don't want to talk about their real life on the interwebz. Please let me believe. Otherwise, this is too scary (>.<)
Hey, I just got an idea: why not make a horror movie about Johnny's fandom? Since it's so thrilling and scary?

Oh I do! I never thought they had such 'crazy' fangirls too though since they're more on the rock-side. But then again if I think of Alice Nine, Gazette and all those bands and their fangirls *cough*Riririr*cough* (sorry insider^^;;) it really shouldn't surprise me after all!
The only difference is that it took you only 2 months to post openly about it,
Well that's really all thanks to m.o.v.e lol. It's kinda like a sleeping feeling, you know it's there you know it's strange somehow but you just ignore it 'till something happens. For me m.o.v.e's new album happened; to see 2 fandoms side by side like this got me thinking^^
Let's learn a lesson from all this: joining a boy band-related fandom requires intensive psychological preparation. Really.
I love this sentence!! I think I'll even put it into my quotes entry if you don't mind?
PS: sorry I wrote a lot again.
Oh don't worry I don't mind reading (in fact I totally like it) and my own posts always get longer than I expected anyway, so really ( ... )

It keeps me wondering too. It seems both you and Kyra got to read the entry of that girl who was tricked into believing she was in a relationship with Jin. I failed to see it before it was deleted but I vaguely remember the intro on kattunlove, it sounded pretty unbelievable. Would you mind explaining me what happened exactly?

Hahahaha! They may be a rock band, but they have such a pretty-looking singer. Takuya looks better than most Johnny's, so the band naturally appealed to a lot of fangirls (as soon as said Takuya started showing his face in PVs) (^_ ( ... )

[...] But yeah, that pretty much sums it up I think ^^;;
the strange thing here is why the post got deleted? because officially the girl stated that she's writing a book about her "adventures in life" and that she's publishing the first chapter for free to a) get opinions on it and b) warn other girls in the fandom. The very strange nature of her story set aside, wouldn't this be a 'legal' post? It doesn't break any rules if I remember correctly? So why did it get deleted?
Oh and to add to Jade's summary, if I remember right this was just an introduction post, since she said something similiar to "I haven't posted the story yet, so why are you confused?" in the comments (because the whole comm. was like "wtf are you talking girl? o_O" )
The contrast between the image JE want's to display (nice, beautiful, refreshing, happy-happy-fairy-wonderland) and the reality (the harshness of the agency on the one side and the creepiness ( ... )
