YFCz's disbandment and my anger towards fans

[xvic3]

Many of you GACKT or YFCz fans who keep up with the guys probably know by now that YFCz is officially disbanding on July 4th (GACKT's birthday). They will be holding their last live on that day as a band, titled "YELLOW FRIED CHICKENz Happy Birthday Break-up Festival ~ Don't cry, let's say goodbye with a smile". Now I don't know about you guys, but

Hello there! We don´t know each other, but you friended me and I just did read your comment.
First of all, I want to thank you for having friends me <3

What you have wrote just made my heart break down. I haven´t read much of comments lately, especially in communities or on posts regarding the disbanding, since I am left time currently. Just now, when I read what´s really going on it makes me really really sad.
Just this time it makes me glad, that I really have only short time on my hand recently, because if I would have read all those comments, you have read, I would be in the same anger like you.
I hope your text will reach all those people, who have wrote all those comments!

Besides all those obviously ignorant people outside, I hope you do have a good time in your life and I deeply hope you have some good friends, who are more considerate to this matter <3

Really, if you don't want to murder some fans, just don't read those comments, hahaha ! *laugh*

*was just passing by xD*

Unfortunately, they're hard to ignore. Especially the racist ones. I just don't understand how people can be so shallow, and what's worse in my opinion is that they actually do consider themselves fans of GACKT. But don't worry, I won't murder anyone hahaha, I just felt the need to vent. XD

fufu, okay, I will definitely won´t read any comment!

Unfortunately, this fandom has a bad reputation for a reason :(

[xvic3]

Honestly, I don't really consider the fandom to have a bad reputation just because of certain people. I have met so many wonderful people through this fandom and have become great friends with them. It saddens me that people actually think that of this fandom. It's not a bad place to be, I just think people need to learn how to handle the problems or drama a little better... *sigh* :/

[mrjl_writer]

Point is though it does. Has for a long time, even before YFC. And that isn't really fair to all the good fans who are good people. I wish it could at least go back to the fun days, when CAGS was always buzzing and there were bustling watchalongs of various things.

[xvic3]

I understand that some people say that our fandom doesn't have a good reputation and I can see why, but you know...I really do believe that it's as simple as blocking the rude or inconsiderate people from whatever website you and they are on. There was a lot of DEARS that I unfollowed on Twitter just because I thought they were immature, annoying or they felt the need to act like they knew everything about the fandom and GACKT, I can't stand people like that so I got rid of them. If more people did that to those kind of fans, I don't think we would really have this problem. So I really don't see our fandom as a bad one, it's just that nothing is ever done about those kind of people.

Well, I pretty much agree with you about that, haters gonna hate after all, isn't it ?
They complained, they hated, but now, if those haters ever complain again about the fact they want to see GACKT with their own eyes, they didn't had to hate YFC at the begining, that's all ! ;)

Nice entry, really ! :)

[xvic3]

Haha this is very true. Now that YFCz is breaking up, I think these people who want to see GACKT but hated YFCz is going to have a much more difficult time doing so. So if this happens, they won't really have a right to complain. XD But thank you, I'm glad you liked my entry. :)

[010101]

Yes to all of this!
I just can't with the racist comments and everything!
Damn this fandom.... :|

[xvic3]

Like I said in a different reply, I don't blame the fandom at all. Mainly because those "fans" that say that stuff are truly not fans, so they're not really in the fandom.

But yes, the racist comments are very disappointing and unfortunately there is nothing any of us can do. People are going to say what they want no matter who likes it or not. I just wish people didn't drag it into the fandom, because that's clearly not where they belong. :/

Honestly, I am one of those who are happy about the disbandment of YFC, but not, because I hate them. I think, GACKT really enjoyed himself with this band and I was very happy for him. But I don't really like their music - and that's why I thought: 'As long as he can have fun with YFC, i will also be happy, but I hope that he won't be in this band forever.'

[xvic3]

I think your opinion is very respectable. I have seen so many crazy things said this past week such as "I didn't like YFCz because of the white dude" or "I didn't like them because of how Chacha and YOU dressed". I mean to me, stuff like that doesn't even make any sense. At least you gave the music a try, one girl even told me that she didn't want to give the music a try because of Jon being in the band. I just don't understand this logic whatsoever.

But I understand your opinion and respect it. Not everyone is going to like the same music and completely fine. But I think as long as all the members of the band are happy, the fans should be happy too.
