That's so true. About all of them actually, but mainly Gerard.. the only celebrity who's personality I care about more than Gerard's is Brian Molko (love of my life for past 8 years) It's NOT that I find him ravishingly attractive or want to fuck him, he just really interests me.
But I don't mind being an MCR fan AND a Gerard fan AND Mikey fan AND a Frank fan AND a Ray fan AND a Bob fan. Not sure why this is exactly a problem.
Oh yeah. I love all of the guys' personalities for the most part. But then I have to stop and think, "do I love them more for who they are, or their music?" Usually I decide it's about equal and forget about it for a while.
For reals. You can tell that the people in stfu_gerard are real fans who really love Gerard, but just like to make fun of him. The original community had people who actually disliked, hated him or the band. I guess that's what would make it more funny.
would you people please STFU about stfugerard? none of you even have half a fucking clue about how awesome that community really was. fuck that shit about how people there hated him or how the mods were anti-mcr.
none of us were anti-mcr, the community was NOT that fucking harsh, and you people have the WORST senses of humor EVER TO CRAWL OUT OF THE DARK RECESSES OF THE INTERNET.
the ONLY thing i do hate about mcr are the fans like you.
(PS. good luck getting my chem band members to join YOUR bullshit like they joined ours: TWO MEMBERS READ RELIGIOUSLY ALMOST EVER DAY AND LOVED IT!)

I have an opinion and I'm stating it and until there's a rule against that I will NOT shut the fuck up as you so delicately put it.

How do you know that? Did you check out every member? Did you know every member. NO. You didn't give a care about me until the second community was made and you should really get over it. It's for entertainment purposes only and we don't expect everyone to love it.
the ONLY thing i do hate about mcr are the fans like you.
If you hate fans who make communities and state their thoughts, than I'm guessing you're hating on every fan here.

The band's fanatic following however is more of a circus show than anything else. A fan's status is decided by the clothes vocalist Gerard Way was wearing when they first discovered the band and went to a show, the oldest remember his ghoulish ensemble, the acceptable middle fans remember his leather jacket, the "Three Cheers" generation remember his suit and white shirt and the MTV kids know of the colour co-ordinated band, all in black with either red ties, neckerchiefs or collars. In other words, elitism in this fan base is to the text book extreme, a fact which many presume the band, renown for their open acceptance of everyone that crosses their path, are ignorant to. Thankfully for some, this isn't the case at all, as Gerard Way stares me right in the eye, speaking with a slightly bitter snap in his tone that is only managed by those scorned by elitists in the past.
"We've always seen elitism as a negative thing, even before there were fans. We've always been very open about talking about how much we hate it" he begins, going
( ... )
yeah, no. how is me defending the community some sort of eltist thing? i was talking about hating fans like her/him/whatever for being kiss ass hypocrites that think that just because someone like me (who, btw, has only been a fan for a lil under a year, but thanks for assuming i'm old guard!) who is perfectly ok with telling gerard he's a sometimes-jerkwad is bad, yet making a rip off of the very community that they claimed to hate is a-ok.
I wasn't talking about you being elitist, the whole thing just made me remember that quote because of what I stated - one of the reasons I didn't like stfugerard.
Trust me, when my number one guy is being a fuckwit/totally weird - and he has had some shockers - especially in stuff he says in interviews, not just bad photos, I have no hesitation at all in saying 'WTF, Brian.' I feel I can do it cause I know how I feel about him in true, but it pisses me off to see other people, maybe who aren't as much of a fan/can't forgive him really rip into him in a way that I know isn't messing around. And I think a lot of people felt that way about stfugerard, that some people weren't forgiving him, that they were ex-fans, old fans who liked how the band used to be and don't any more, and just want to mock. I know a little about you and I know that you do not think this and that it wsn't the aim of the community. But I do know people who were there for the reasons I say - ex-fans who really did want to seriously tear him/the band to shreds.
of course you have your opinion, but it sucks. sorry.
no, i did not check out every single member, but the people that owned it, and loved it, and made the majority of the posts and/or moderated were not anti-mcr. we are (or, in the case of some, were) fans. die-hard fucking fans that were not afraid to tell gerard he was too full of himself or eating too many twinkies or being a giant 'tard for the sobriety thing.
did i say i hated all fans? no. i hate fans like you that are so far up gerard's ass that you can't see how the blatant hero-worship you give him is doing far more damage than the nigel or twinkie jokes ever would have.
it was made for entertainment? OH WELL MY GOD THERE'S A NEW CONCEPT. so was stafoo, but they did happen to enjoy our shit. all you guys are is a pale, pale imitation of something that you didn't even like. so stupid.
ps. show me one point where i misspelled ANYTHING, babycakes. kthx.
I never said I hated the community. I wouldn't be a member if I did. I would have made my own community a long time ago if I did. It was made because the the other is dead and some people still wanted to have a parody communnity. I am not one of those Gerard Way fan girls either. Once again, I would have not joined the community if I thought he was a god-like figure.
I stated that it was made for entertainment because you made it sound like I had underlying motives, such as trying to gain internet fame or ripping the original commuity off. It's even in the info that it's based off of the original. We are not trying to make this our own nor was it intended.
So when all is said and done stfu_gerard is still a running community and as long as there is material to post it will continue. If people don't want to join the community, then they don't have to. As far as I'm concerned this issue is resolved. I think there's more important things to worry about then a livejournal community.
See, now that is the sort of thing that I mentioned further down, but said maybe you didn't do that. Now that apparently, you are one of the people that like to take the mickey out of his weight as well, that makes my other comment somewhat redundant in places.
How does the fact that you tell him is fat, which is effectively what you're doing, make you a die hard fan? Firstly, why does it even matter if he's fat? Unless you like him for his looks, and not the music, (which, you know, isn't what the whole thing is about is it? I thought die hard fans scorned fan girls that spazz over how he looks?) and secondly, don't you find that even the slightest bit cruel?
Like I said, being weight conscious myself, I think that would upset me a lot if I found something like that on the web. Would die-hard fans, regardless of how much an idiot they think he's being personally, really make such an issue out of his image in a way that really is incredibly bitchy and vicious?
everything having to do with his weight was making fun of fangirls who only liked the band because ZOMG GERARLD IS SEW HOTT!! or Gerard taking himself and his new image too seriously.
apparently there are people in the world who've never been exposed to sarcasm/satire. new to me.
...taking the mickey out of someones weight isn't satire though...and nor is it sarcastic.
Commenting on someone being fat is in no way at all satirical, and I wouldn't say it was sarcastic either, unless you didn't actually mean it and were thus just calling him fat to be offensive.
I'm not a fangirl who just likes the band because ZOMG GERARLD IS SEW HOTT! I find him attractive certainly, but the music is the thing I like most about them. I just think that the whole idea, a communtiy set up just to insult someone, is a bit, catty and horrible really.
But yes, each to their own opinion, that's just what I personally think about the whole thing.
i would agree with that if every post had 63 comments just saying
"he's fat."
but that's not what happened.
IT WAS NOT SET UP TO INSULT SOMEONE. if that was the case all the posts just would have been GERARD'S STUPID or HE WEIGHS A LOT. neither of which are nice or FUNNY comments.
i think people need to grow thicker skin. i'm sick of everyone who walks around being all sweet and nice all the time.
horrible and catty? if you say so. but i sure as hell have a lot more fun.
5; Me too. :\
9; I loved stfugerard. Just poking fun at him reminded me again of how human he is. stfu_gerard isn't as funny or harsh as stfugerard though.
14; Same. :]
