    Initial'L THE END digital single. 

     

    I was so shocked to find this in a Polish digital store, I stumbled over my thumbs to buy it in case it dissappeared in the next five seconds or sth. Especially that it costs not even 4 bucks. 

     

    If any fellow countryman stumbles here, here's a link. Initialize is also up there woot.

    Vk's like a telenovela~ it's been on some local, obscure TV channel for 20 years, you're on the 1537th episode and by this point 75% od the cast has been replaced and you can't even remember the original actors. 90% of the characters had at one point slept/married/divorced each other. Some of it is subbed but some is not, and honestly either way it doesn't really make much difference. Someone is gesticulating wildly while crying and half of the set is on fire. 

     

    Also it's almost 2am and I'm drunk on a Wednesday.

    Well, I've personally seen and heard feminists advocate for the abortion of male fetuses for the only sin of being male. I don't see how that is different from nazism.

    sigh... those are the "radfems" that are universally shunned by the movement. I think we can all agree that it's absurd and not helping anyone. also, they are not going out and actually murdering those fetuses so there's your difference.

    @spockitty

    I suggest you to read again everything I said, because I feel like you misunderstood many points.

     

    As I said, feminism genuinely begun fighting for the rights of women and equality before the law. That's the essence of feminism,and I totally support that.

     

    However,the contemporary feminism is not a liberation from sexism and fighting for the women's rights anymore, it became the " demonization " of males, and it's perfectly right to compared it with Nazism, because that's what Hitler did before becoming the Führer.He demonized the Jews, blaming them for all the problems that German had at the time. And that's the direction feminism took,they are raising women by lowering man....And I didn't even mentioned all the "arguments" pro abortion.

     

     

    Furthermore,I said that we are men and women, pointing the fact that that's the ONLY difference between us humans in terms of biology. Before homo or straight,black or White,you are human, and as a human you must be treated, before your ideologies or whatever is your beliefs.Some groups want special treatment just because they belong to these groups.

     

    I did read it again and I don't see how I could have understood what you said differently.

     

    I would like to agree to dissagree with you at this point and be done with this discussion. 90% of what you just said doesn't align with my worldview and perhaps we can debate it again one day on some more relevant thread~ I feel I've derailed this conversation enough as it is.

    @sujiCould you be so kind as to add "in Japan" to the title for me? I'm on mobile and don't know how or if that's something a mod has to do. I just don't want to muddy the waters and make clear that this is particularly about Japan. I mean I suppose other countries could be put here, but yeah. 

    Yeah, sorry for hijicking your post, it kinda got out of hand ^^;

     

    I really liked the video though. I've already subscribed to several of the channels you posted videos of, so thanks for sharing!

    I think the word feminism and the movement itself should simply disappear, there's no salvation for this movement since it was already so distorted. It genuinely begun as a fight for equality and became a toxic ideology just like Nazism and communism.

     

    Did you really just compare feminism to nazism?

    At no point in history did nazism have a shred of positive ideology behind it. Communism is on the other spectrum of very radical ideals, which over the years literally caused the death of thousands. This is an entirely different conversation that in my opinion has no place in this topic.

    If women have to fight for their rights they should do it by voting on the right ones on the elections, choosing those who represents and gonna fight for their interests and other forms of civilized manifestations on social media,etc. It's not about the media,

     

    Your argument depends on women having the candidates who represent them to vote for, which in most countries, they don't. And the only reason why there are some candidates like that these days, is because of the feminism movement and the work it does.

     

    It absolutely is about the media. To be clear, I'm not talking only about the news. It's about the music, the movies, books, academia etc. I happen to also be a part of "this group" if you couldn't tell already, and let me tell you, there are bad apples in every movement, but it's just so juicy to cherrypick the loudest and most toxic ones for the sake of sensationalism and self preservation. Especially considering that ceding some of the absolute power to the previously marginalized group is threathing to shake the foundation of most mainstream media.

    Black Lives,LGBT, feminism,MGTOW 

    I don't think people should label themselves,we are men and women and equally humans. I can't see the benefit of making groups,it only works as the catalyst for the division of society, turning all of us one against another. 

     

     

    Men and women are also labels created by society. We need labels to represent complex ideas in short terms and also to easily find people who are like-minded. We could go through life calling every plant a plant, but when one of them is edible and another is poisonous suddenly it matters that you differentiate that label.

    Moved this to Current Events as this is a serious thing going on in just about every civilized country.

     

    I'm surprised something like this is increasing in Japan, but even more so in the United States. Feminism is taking a toll on America to the point where women can feel free to overpower anyone who gets in their way and still try to be sympathetic figures while crying wolf all at the same time because we are biologically inferior to men and we can't accept that. Because we are also child bearers, courts will usually side with us during custody battles because we are naturally seen as caring and motherly, while dads are stereotypically seen as deadbeats or abusive. It is disturbing how men are under attack in this country, and as feminism grows in Japan, I fear they'll face the same consequences there as well. One segment of the video above where the female abuser was let go while her man suffered horrible injuries infuriates me to no end; it is a daily epidemic that shows no signs of slowing down.

     

    The reason why domestic violence against men isn't taken as seriously is because man is supposed to be dominant and shouldn't succumb to women, who are generally viewed as more weaker and innocent. If a woman calls out her male partner for abuse, then she is met with instantaneous support rather than skepticism. If a man admits he's being abused by his female partner, then he risks ridicule, humiliation, and not being "man enough"; men are held to such a high standard that they cannot come out with problems like these, even in our current society where we are now truly aware of men's mental health. The media is also more liberal leaning so of course they'll talk about the advancement of women's rights and keep domestic violence under wraps unless it's women being attacked by the evil bad men. In our modern climate, society has gotten so pussified that they are afraid of calling out minorities like women, gays, nonwhites, etc, and the attack on men will increase exponentially as long as women get away with the shit they're doing.

     

    /rant

     

    I agree with you, to a point.

     

    Feminism is, or at least its supposed to be advocating for equality not superiority of one sex over the other. That said, raising awareness and combating the abuse that men suffer, especially at the hands of women, is a part of the movement. The risk of humiliation and not being seen as "man enough" is a byproduct of toxic masculinity (a buzzword i know) which is a big topic in feminism. The fact that society unfairly favours women over men in custody battles, is similarily hundred years of harmful stereotypes stacked on top of each other.

     

    I don't think we should villanize the whole movement, because mainstream media chooses to only expose the worst of it, because that what gets the views.

     

    Now what is said on the video, is not precisely that more women become abusers, but more men report the abuse. Which all in all, is a good thing?

    hahaha yes, Plastic Tree is around forever xD they release singles every year and albums almost every year, and everything so far is awesome, the vocalist (Ryutaro Arimura) also started his solo career and he already has 2 solo albums and concerts released in DVD too ^^ I particularly love his second album, it's really great.   I didn't know about the other artist by the name of baroque xD   I haven't been able to get into spotify, it's still difficult for me to understand that concept xD I guess i'm really old after all LOL 

     

    that'm impressive really! XD I used to really like their concepts but only a few songs appealed to me. 

     

    I used to be a big sceptic when it comes to digital content and paying for the stuff you don't really physically own. Steam got me used to it first, I suppose, now I don't even have a CDrom in my PC ^^; As for Spotify, it's a great place to get into new music imo, most importantly music that would not be readily available to you via mainstream media. I pay for premium and I think it's a steal with the amount of music I listen to on a daily basis. And it scrobbles automatically to last.fm ;=; Now even jrock/vk is jumping on the bandwagon (maybe more dipping their toes than jumping but hey, it's better than nothing!).

    and they were split in smaller pieces xD so you had to download each piece and then join them with winrar or some other similar program.

    YES! Everything was in pieces good lord, I totally forgot about that ^^; I think even I used to upload my DVD's in like 7 parts or sth.

    So from bands that I'm following since those times, there's Plastic Tree, LUNA SEA, Dir en Grey, GLAY (not vkei anymore) and baroque. There's also the musicians from former bands that have projects that I follow today, for example after PIERROT disbanded (my former favorite band) the band Angelo was formed, which is my current favorite band. Also after Raphael disbanded, rice was formed (disbanded too but the singer has a new project),  aki former vocalist of Laputa has a very good solo career with some good music. After Janne da Arc disbanded, Acid Black Cherry was born too which is very good, after disbandment of ICEMAN project, the keyboardist has very nice projects (mostly Jpop though).  Right now I'm also digging Alice in Menswear (former La'cryma Christi guitarist and former Maschera vocalist); and from the newer bands I really love RAZOR, Blu-billion and The Thirteen. ^^

     

    Ahhh wow, Plastic Tree is still around??? You know what, I tried listening to baroque yesterday, went on Spotify and that profile is a mess, I think there are 3 different artists on there ;/ funnily enough there is another japanese artist by the name of baroque, he does electronic instrumentals. As for the rest, I know them all by name, but never gotten much into them, aside from Acid Black Cherry, that I was into pretty hard back in the day :D and RAZOR! I haven't heard much but I like what I have! 

    The rest is going on my to-listen list, thanks ^^

    I've met one guy irl who also liked VK and would talk to me about it, but apart from our interest in VK, he had a terrible personality and I cut him off. Now in university my luck hasn't gotten any better and I've basically had a parallel experience to others here about how even the crowd who's into japanese culture don't like VK. It's disheartening. 

    I mean, it's a niche even in it's own country, so I feel like it's a winning lottery ticket to randomly meet someone who's into it on the other side of the world ^^; 

     

    In my experience, it's way easier to meet some local fan online (and by local I mean, at least in your country lol) and then meet them irl.

    Vk-granny...so I'm a so called vk-Methusalem then O_o

    Anyways...good to see u returning after that long time and experiencing new vk ^^

    I never left but well...sometimes let it go low for some time and getting strong on it again when discovering something new within the scene ^^

    Haha, what have I brought on myself with that title, smh. 

    I've been in the kpop scene for so long and I'm really ancient there, so I didn't really expect the demographic here to be so much closer to my age than your average edgy teenager's. Should have figured~

     

    Anyway, thanks! ^^
