A revelation of some sorts...

[eggchan]

Well actually I've spent quite a bit of time this morning chatting with remiixx over texts. We started talking about k-pop and.. the "state" that it's in right now, with all this shit everywhere

I'm pretty much right with you. I'll keep buying CDs and listening to the music, but I'm tired of the BS, and I just don't care anymore.

I think the last straw for me was when netizens started freaking out about Family Outing. *sigh*

[eggchan]

yeah. I read about that today. I was like, um wtf..

WHY DOES IT EVEN MATTER OMG. Just live with it. Or stop watching the damn show.

[eggchan]

yeah. -_-;; and basically every single person in the kpop industry has gotten into a car crash of some sort. I swear Korean people can't drive or something.

and yes. When they want to be nasty, some of the things that kpop fans say (especially when anonymous, but even when they're NOT) is really hateful, terrible things.

Yay Arashi ♥

Arashi and their fans make me sane. When I think about the Arashi fandom, I think, "Why can't the rest of the world get along like them?"
I can't even tell you how much I agree with this. D: I think I've never seen a fandom in which more fans were fighting over which band is the best or which member from a certain band is the best or just... general all the shit rumors and stalking and idk. D8
There are some really awesome fans in the kpop-fandom, but a lot are just so rude and... idk. :/

omg exactly. >_< I'm really over all the stuff about Super Junior where everyone complains "Ohhhh blah-dy-blah doesn't get enough screen time" or "THIS GUY IS OVERRATED HE NEEDS TO STOP BEING POPULAR" etc etc.

It's going to happen if you have a 13 member boy band.

I like how Arashi doesn't have competitions over who is the most popular, who should get the most air time, etc. They all have their own special times and unique moments that they can share with the fans, as separate individuals and as a group.

(ot but YOUR ICON IS AWESOME. 8D)

Yeah exactly.. (x x); I mean, they can't possibly split up the screen time equally with 13 members, especially not if you have super-loud-always-talking-Heechul in the middle of them XD;
But tbh I think it's even worse for the SHINee-fandom -- I've never seen so many stupid fans in one fandom, really. Especially all the hate between Jonghyun and Onew fans just simply pisses me off because they have both great voices and belong to the band and then fans go all "JJONG SHOULD LEAVE SHINEE" "NO ONEW SHOULD HE'S A WORTHLESS LEADER ANYWAY" and I really just want to tell them to go stfu sometimes. D8

aww yeah. Your whole comment made me want to make a subbing community where we just post up videos for people to watch streaming without having people have to join. That way, since it's already up streaming, no one will feel the need to upload it..

but I just feel like that might be impossible as I can't do much myself and I don't think I know enough people capable of doing it ;_;

I WANNA MAKE A PROPER REPLY TO THIS BUT CAN U GET ON AIM RIGHT NOW?

[choco_disco]

Arashi fandom is wonderful. \o/
てか最近コメント書いてなくてごめんね（；＿；）
I don't really know anything about Kpop besides DBSK, but it really does sound intense. This came up in one of the very random Project5x10 chats today too ^^; But then again...even some Arashi fans can be very, veeeery nasty too. But anyway, I think it's good to stay away from something that makes you this frustrated. :D

[eggchan]

Arashi fandom really is ね＾＾

あ～気にしないでね♥

It really is intense. And I know some Arashi fans can be crazy as well, but.. like I was saying to someone else... there's just so much fewer numbers of them it's so easy to ignore them, and the sane Arashi fangirls don't make a gigantic huge problem w/ it (which in turn doesn't fuel the fire)
