Note: I do NOT post fc leaks. Not videos, not mp3s, not Monthly GG screenshots/scans, NOTHING. So please respect my stance on the controversial issue. I don't believe that I'm being elitist by refusing to share because I believe that I should be able to keep the measly videos and pictures I pay 19,000yen a year for. Living outside of Japan and

It's not elitist hun. I believed that even before I got my membership. We pay a *hell* of a lot of money for tiny things like GG and those videos (especially as we can't go to the lives, which are theoretically the big part of the membership), it's fair enough to like the idea that it was worth the insane amount.
I got a bit sad yesterday when I went to Dears Theatre, watched the new video (Not the Setsugekka ones, the one before that), then checked my f-list and it was already on Youtube. Like, within 6 hours or something of being uploaded to Theatre, it was already leaked. Ugh.
(Sorry, this turned into a rant. >_> )

We do pay a HELL of a lot of money for not living in Japan for such tiny things. The lives ARE the biggest part of the membership, as well as the fc trips but overseas fans that can't afford to drop $1,500 on a plane ticket every time Gackt wants to do something end up screwed and feeling even more left out than those who AREN'T dears.
The "Gackt's Comment Video" one? Yea. They all leak within hours. The ones from the MGG too. Though, that video got taken down from the Theatre it seems. I went looking for it today and its gone. Thankfully, I did rip it beforehand XD;
(np lol)

Exactly. We get such a tiny proportion of the 'package' and pay so much more, it's insanely difficult when the few things left for us to scavenge are given up for free anyway.
Yeah, I agree about the 'more left out than those who AREN'T dears' part. I got the notification about the new Camui Gakuen shows a few days after my card arrived, and it's like... That ticket costs what... $100 give or take? Sweet, I can afford that. Oh, hang on, the card's freaking useless because I don't have 2 grand for plane tickets. *angst*
Crap, it got taken down? xD Would it be bad form to ask for a copy, given the context of the post? ^_^;;

Yea. it really isn't that much different.
Exactly.
and yes! I kept getting all of the emails from Dears that were updates about Camui Gakuen and I was all I CAN'T GO, STOP EMAILING ME *stabs the delete button* Stupid 2k plane ticket, PLUS hotel , PLUS food, PLUS trains, PLUS goods. I'm not rich. Hell, I'm not even well off. I scrounge together for my membership fee alone.
Yea it did. I have no idea why. Well, you ARE a members so I have no issues with sharing the rip. I'll send the link when you add me to a messenger ^.~
(and I'm also adding you back on lj. We get along fairly well =D)

posts from you like the one before might simply get people curious though, so maybe just keep it to yourself? ^^

The post, yea I understand it would make non-members curious and I in no way posted it so that I could throw my squee-age over a fc thing in everyone's face. I was still squeeing when I posted so it came out the way it did and I wanted to at least explain where my new icons came from. I also had to share my squee-age with fellow fc members. I want to be able to squee together in the comments with them, which I can't do with everyone on messengers/email.

i just suggest. it's natural people will ask when you post lots of hints and parts and stuff i guess.

p.s. Why do they ask you? I mean, many people post them anyway....? And that's more than a little rude....to ask someone...
I can't complain one way or the other. But I don't think you are an elitist at all! ^__^ Although, I do believe GACKT should rename his fanclub to 'Egoist' XD Mainly because then I could have an entire 'Egoist' outfit like the Hydeist club.... XD

Kyaa~ !!! XD Did you see the new Arena and FoolsMate? I died a little. I hate having to wait for so long for my stuff to arrive. -sniffles- That poster (blue side) Arena is so going straight on my wall....in place of the Mihama one I think... it's been up for ever anyway....
OMG! XD I want to get two so I can cut out all the blue images and put them on my wall.... -dreamy sigh-
Sorry for hijacking your thread...I uh...don't have anyone else to fangirl with ^__^;;;
p.s. yea! I made a new icon! XD Now I'm going to go make a bajillion out of the arena scans.....

The new mags are...wow. and no problem! I'm always up for fangirling! xDDD If you appear on yahoo, I have something to show you too xD

Remember what their favourite excuse is ? "You can meet Gackt !"
Mh, of course, how come I never met him and I'm a member for 3 years ? How come one of my Japanese penpal never met him and was even in the MM fanclub ?
I've been called an egoist bitch because of my point of vue.

Yea right? "You can meet Gackt since you're in the fanclub so why do you care about pictures and videos being leaked?!" Yea...right...because I can totally call Gackt, ask him to come down to Florida because I sure as hell can't afford to go to japan and we can go out drinking and have loads of fun. Pffft whatever.

Yes and Japanese fans can't meet him either ! Only the lucky, lucky ones on the trips can take a picture with him. I wonder if the fans who complain all the time about not being members even tried to enter the FC.
Reply
Exactly. Its VERY hard and you have to be VERY VERY lucky to be chosen to meet him. and IF you meet him, you can't give him anything or really talk to him besides say Thank you.
The fans that complain and want leaks are people that say they can't afford it or just don't even try at all.
Yea because you know...I'm rich and I can afford to spend 19,000yen on a membership while other's can't. Because I'm rich and all right? pfft
