    I have tried the Visual Kei look once for Comic Con but it wasn’t outlandish or gothic it was just a suit. I would KILLLL to pull of a Shinya inspired look, I love his straight brown hair he had back in the Gauze days. Also, I would love to do a Missa era Kyo.

     

    When I did do my VK uniform, I was sorta inspired by Kyo’s outfit from the I’ll video and even his makeup. I didn’t have the wig though

    @Manji 卍 Technically, the foetus doesn't have any form of sentience until about the third trimester (maybe a bit before). I think the lesser of two evils in that situation would be to abort, because it's more fair to let the woman live a happy life than to force her to give birth to a baby she doesn't even want. That's physically and emotionally traumatising. If she does the latter, she could end up severely depressed and the baby most likely wouldn't have a great life anyways. Also, just giving it to an adoption centre leads to overcrowding and kids who were already there not getting adopted, so nobody really wins in that situation.

    This. That’s why women who were raped or who was impregnated by a family member should not give birth. The emotional trauma will ensue and will end up leaving the mother depressed. I don’t want any women living with something they don’t want.

    I always thought people had a sort of racist passive objection to any type of Japanese music so I've pretty much avoided showing my music to many people anymore. 

    I guess that's one reason. Granted, I myself have never experienced that myself but I often get judged for it or just get called a "weeb".

     

    Even if I show VK to some classic rock or metal snob who refuses to look for good modern music I'd get the whole "WHAT IS THIS FAGGOT SHIT".

    We all know Visual Kei is home to some of the most humble fans ever. However, if you look on Twitter or Tumblr, you get a shitload of fuck.

     

    It's no secret that many forms of entertainment, from K-Pop to Classic Rock, have it's fair share of obsessive fans, or "Stan's". This can range from band wars (Diru vs Gazette) to spreading false and hurtful rumors about bandmen. Most of these, and I'm not saying all of them are, are mostly younger fans, mainly teenage girls. I won't lie and say that I know a lot of these fans on Instagram and most of them are pretty nice and chill. What I am talking about is the ones who take things WAYYYYY too far. 

     

    From what I gathered, many of these fans seem to treat bandmen as god's, for example the infamous Kareki user . Also, many fans will go as far as to save their V-Card (like THAT will ever happen) for a specific musician. Now, it's totally fine to have a crush or be attracted to a musician (I mean, doesn't everybody), but there is a fine line between having a crush and just being borderline weird. The band's that have the most stan fans are Diru and The Gazette (which sucks because I like both and I have to deal with a bunch of crazies) and X Japan, although this applies mostly to fans in Japan. 

     

    Question Time!:

    1. Worst experience with a Stan?

    2. Is the word "Stan" okay to use as a positive word? Ex: I STAN THE GAZETTE!

    3. Where do you draw the line when it comes to liking a band?

    4. Does the existence of Stan's in your band fandom ruin your experience within the fandom? If so, why?

     

    DISCLAIMER: Remember, keep discussion respectful. No rude or insulting behaviour

    Since some people mentioned kpop, I have relatives who are into that and they think vk is okay. We trade music occasionally. 

    I don’t shit on people who enjoy K-Pop, I’m just against the music and the labels. Labels treat artists like shit and they overwork the groups they work with. Plus, even though I enjoy western pop, K-Pop is just soooo boring and unoriginal. I find western pop artists to have some creative control over their work. With K-Pop, it gets annoying and repetitive.

     

    Every time I say I hate K-Pop, I always get the “YOU JUST HATE IT CUZ ITS POPULAR” argument. No I don’t, I just hate the industry behind it.

     

    I have listened to a few K-Pop artists and all of their songs don’t click with me. Im sorry but oh well. Like they say, music is subjective.

    I do know batsu but nah, it was a smaller forum that went on for several years and then died in flames of internal drama. I still follow some of the members I used to be friends with on social media, but I couldn't even tell you the name of it at this point ^^;

    What was the drama that went on there like? Is it still around?

    I have had many experiences. Most of my friends listen to either some alternative music or just hip hop. I'm sort of the odd one out since I'm basically the emo kid of my friend group.  I won’t lie and say that I enjoy a lot of mainstream alternative pop artists and even some dope hip hop artists. VK is just Numero Uno at the moment.

     

    So naturally, I often try to get them into Visual Kei through recommendations only to get the whole "WEEEEEEEEB" comeback.

     

    Funny thing is that I have a friend who's a HUGE K-Pop fan (I know, shoot me), and we often get into roasts about which is better (this is all jokes, I'm not THAT evil). So needless to say, I'm literally the only VK fan at my school and in my whole friend group lol. Then again, I'm scared of them finding out the whole Nazi thing. So far the only Japanese artists they listen to are One Ok Rock and Babymetal. Although one of my friends have heard of Yoshiki, so that's a good start at least.

     

    So I was asking, what are some funny experiences trying to get someone into VK or showing them VK?

     

    EDIT: You guys are making me jealous. Meanies. I’m stuck with a people who call me a weeb and don’t have the audacity to listen to at least ONE vk songs. Mmph

    To be fair, this is about Japan, not internet trolls that make up majority of all youtube comments. 

    Sorry, I used to have a really bad anti feminist mind set at the age of 14 so these comments hit home for me.

    The comments on the "Does Japan Need Femenism" are fucking toxic. "Hur Dee Dur FEMINISM RUINS EVERYTHING" or "HUR DUR ALL FEMINISTS ARE CLOSE MINDED"

     

    Well you see, generalizing a whole group of people is fucking toxic, you have already disproved yourself. Yes, there are toxic feminists out there, but, oh I don't know, maybe there ARE open minded feminists out there if you actually had a brain

    It is very much. The LGBT community in Japan is miniscule compared to pretty much anywhere else, they have a small pride parade, but generally gay is humor of Japan. Hell, Hard Gay has made a career on that sensibility of Japanese humor.

    Oh that’s awful. I’m sure not ALL of Japan is homophobic but just making it into a joke isn’t really funny.

    homosexuality at Japan is really a taboo.

    Is it really? 

     

    As for this topic, I’d say it feels forced. In the video we’re Toshyia and Shinya kiss each other, it’s possible that they were drunk since they seem to have been drinking a lot.

     

    As a bi person, this whole fanservice thing is weird. I don’t like having them being forced to pander to a bunch of girls, especially if they aren’t LGBT.

    People incessantly complaining about live limited releases and pinning it on the bands being "racist" and "anti-foreigner" when they're just trying to get more money by selling more tickets to their lives.

     

    There are a lot of foreign bangya and a lot of overseas fans going on vacation to Japan these days. Chances are you can probably find someone to buy them for you unless you like a band with like 2 fans.

    This happens?

    I don’t know about gossiping, but I for sure LOVE talking trash with my close friends about people we don’t like XD.

    Or like when you become friends with someone because you hate the same people 😂.

    You'd love my friend group. We talk shit about this one girl who we all despise. I used to be friends with her, but she just ended up annoying me and a bunch of my guy friends.
