Still can't get over the fact Hakuei claimed that only Japanese people can be Vkei because according to him, you have to have a very specific set of facial features.
Guess any Japanese person who doesn't look like Hakuei can't be Vkei. Sorry guys, must be Ainu or Ryukyuan or something lmao. Like, I'm no anthropologist, but according to Hakuei, having a sharp jaw is a Japanese trait.

Well the thing is that being vk outside of Japan is nigh impossible not due to anyone's race or nothing, but simply because the scene exists solely in Japan and a lot of defining features of vk come from the extra-musical aspects of it. Larping vk online just makes you look like seremedy ie. losers playing linkin park in drag. There's definitely such a thing as a vk riff ( see also: early luna sea, kuroyume, ) but I've personally never heard any of these bands play such a thing.

Yeah but that would be an actual valid point devoid of logical fallacies whether one agrees or not, which isn't what Hakuei did lmao. He just projected his facial features onto Japanese culture and said "This is why non-Japanese people can't be Vkei". It's like when [insert professional opinion-haver whom shall not be named] said Hip Hop can't be music because it is only rhythm and not melody (ignoring that Hip Hop isn't just Run DMC rapping over a drum machine anymore). Like, damn I guess only classical music can be music.

Yeah he is a moron and this is yamato chauvinism too of course, which is why I also cringed at the recent japanese cop talk.
