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

Comments

This is a serious case of being stupid and petty. If Gackt is dating or wants to date this girl then so be it. These people need to stfu and do something with themselves. It can be tiresome living by yourself for so long. Sure having your independence is great, but having companionship is good every now and again. We all like it in some form or another

Basically YUP to everything you wrote. =/

I just wish they had enough sense to pull themselves back a little, and objectively look at themselves talking horribly about someone who's done them nothing wrong whatsoever, except for having some type of relationship with the man they're obviously obsessed with. If that's not ugly, I don't know what is.

As was said, "simple minded bitches talk about simple minded shit." :P

[excused_early]

Crude...... but true.... LOL

[mrjl_writer]

I believe less and less that there's anything to this so-called relationship, the drama doesn't bother me anymore. But that doesn't mean people should be hating on her either. Either find something positive about her, or ignore her. Real easy to do :) Drama's not worth the energy anyway.

[excused_early]

True, drama's a laughable waste of time.
But unfortunately, some people thrive on drama and can't get enough of it.

to be honest, all of this pointless drama is just a good TV show idea to me, lets throw raging fan girls with their computers into one room, and fangirls who think nothing about rumors into another and lets see how they go about it. at first it was a shock, and now..its just a show.

I didn't hear a sodding thing about this, lol

It's one thing to get annoyed about the pants comment (albeit stupid) but for her to drink beer? OH NOEZ SHE IZ A SLUTTY DRUNK. Really? I saw that picture of her and didn't think anything negative what so ever, she was drinking Asahi beer and started to burst out laughing, it was funny.

Although I feel sorry for some fans who do feel attached to their idols romantically, but the ones that bitch and moan about absolutely EVERYTHING, including her drinking a can of beer is just utterly ridiculous.

[excused_early]

I hadn't, either, trust me. XD

Yeah, they were cute and funny photos. If people thought she was promoting drinking alcohol, then god forbid if someone posted a photo of themselves kissing someone else, coz that's promoting unprotected sex, right?? *rolls eyes*

Right, I do feel bad for fans who are so infatuated with their idols. Heck, I've been there, done that myself! XD And I cannot say that I was never jealous of the girls my idol was dating at different times, but I can say I'd never ever talked bad about the girls or wished them harm. >_

[suki_8]

Mm-hm, the ones that don't say anything horrible but just sort of quietly hurt I feel sorry for, not the ones that cuss them out and especially the sort that helped ruin G's marriage X( wishing someone harm for any reason is stupid and horrible.

Good god, I mean the amount of times I've seen WAY more near the mark drunken photos, and they're going to rip into her for that totally innocent one.

Just want to find any reason don't they.

[kazeyu]

i just feel like the fans have nothing better to do but treat people like this when it comes to things like this, it makes me wonder if they know what the dictionary term for "RUMOR" is...

[camui_love]

Remember the good ol' days when fandom was like "Awww I wish he would find someone soon, he deserves to be happy" and all the "Oh I would definitely support him and whoever he decides to date, because his happiness is what matters most!" and the "Omg I can't believe those fangirls back then that added to the pressure of his first marriage, I would never do anything remotely close to that, that's just insane!"

Funny how things really don't change =w=

[amaia]

Funny how it's some of the people who were being loudest about being "happy" for him, more like =____=

Anyway, Val. I don't think you need to post about this (though not saying you shouldn't if you want to!). It's not an actual "misunderstanding" so much as justifying their internal emotional state/conflict. Something like, "I'd be happy for him if she was good, but I'm not happy so she must suck".

[excused_early]

You're absolutely right. ROFLMHO

But I post about ICONIQ when she's being flamed by GACKT fans for no good reason whatsoever because I want to. Well, if nobody else sets it straight, then I will.

[asliceofthemoon]

Poor her, getting targetted like this. :/
Thanks for clarifying these things again and again, even though it's clearly frustrating for you, and would be so much easier for you to just not comment - but you do, and i appreciate that. You're a wonderful fan. *hugs*

[excused_early]

Awwwwwwwwww, thank you!! >3<
But nah, I'm not that good. I'm sure there'll be other people setting things straight if they understood Japanese. ^^
