He had dinner with Jackie Chan...? How does he know the most random selection of Hollywood people? 

oof yeah there was a scandal about it bc he posted the pic on insta.  i guess yoshiki has a lot of chinese (?) fans and jackie’s politics don’t sit well with most of them.

It hurts transgender people and their credibility as a whole. Although transgender acceptance is growing, society still treats the act itself as a phase or a joke because of made-up pronouns. The act of being transgender means you have to pick a side: male to female, or female to male. That shouldn't be so hard to understand.

I don't respect people who don't respect real transgender people.

sounds like some truscum shit.  i can’t speak for the trans community as a whole, obviously, but i can definitely say that trans people have far more pressing issues rn than some enby using neo-pronouns.  maybe focus this energy towards a real issue, like trans woc being murdered left and right, or lgbt spaces not always being trans inclusive, or the existence of terfs.  neo-pronouns pale in comparison.

unpopular opinion: I will not respect they/them pronouns (unless it's an intersex person), because they are a joke. Transgenderism is no joke.

even if it is a joke (and again, this isn’t me agreeing with that), how is it hurting anyone?  it’s pretty easy not to be a jerk.

Everything you said is true, except for the LGBT identitarions and them going nuts if you say that there are two genders, don't give them what they want whether it's calling them by whatever pronoun they want or what they identify as. It's funny how people so anti-free speech are so fascist when it comes to pushing their believes on others. I'm sorry, but I don't have to adhere to your crazy doctrine because you have body dysmorphia or some other personal problem. 🙄

imagine thinking queer people are pushing their beliefs on you bc they’re asking for basic respect and to be left alone about it.

after that dinner w jackie chan, yoshiki and him formed a band and now they’re announcing it.

okay, so idk if this is necessarily unpopular, but from what i see around online it’s definitely polarizing.  but, why bother someone with some dumb shit if they’re not actually hurting anyone?  this can pertain to a lot of things, from liking comic book movies and not comic books, being really fuckin’ into anime, or other such things.  it can also be more serious (that’s probably not the right word since these things aren’t really a big deal anyway) things like being lgbt, specifically that whole rhetoric about there only being two genders (which tbh i’m not sure if people who say that are specifically referring to non-binary people, or trans folk as a whole most of the time).  even if that’s true (and i’m not saying it is), who cares?  aren’t there like, real problems to deal with?  i mean, i’m sure there’s smth more important going on than someone switching what pronouns they use depending on how they feel on any given day, or someone who likes the deadman wonderland anime but doesn’t really care to read the manga even though it’s basically a different story.  none of that stuff is super pressing.

oh ok, i get it.

i think i fall somewhere in between being in it for pretty androgynous guys and being in it for the music.  both aspects to me are great, 10/10.  but i don’t really learn bandoman names a lot.  i can def say that the girls are way more into it than i am when it comes to that kind of thing.

Is it anything like the revamp of Sabrina the Teenage Witch?

i haven’t watched the sabrina remake, so idk.

isn’t vk in general marketed towards teenage girls?  it seems like a v big chunk of vk fans are teen girls or were when they got into it.

i know it’s super terrible but i kinda like riverdale.  i haven’t finished the first season tho, and i started watching when it came out but it’s not that bad from what i’ve seen?  maybe it gets worse?  😂

all k-dramas are basically the same overall idea/plot but with a different setting.  rich man/poor woman, maybe one of them has some kinda super power or ability.  if one of them is important like an idol or ceo then they must be a complete asshole until they learn to love from some woman who is poor, but optimistic.  someone ends up in the hospital after a fight at some point too, making whichever one said the mean things feel bad with some sad piano music playing while they sit alone or maybe in a coffee shop, idk.

grapefruit juice is the most unholy beverage.  legit disgusting.

Ohh yeah, and I, for the life of me, cannot understand the appeal of Kate Bush.

 

i’m gonna be honest, i have no idea who that even is.  🤔

honestly i couldn’t get into sukekiyo at all, even from the beginning.  it sounds like some weird shit kyo would attach his name to and kinda reminds me of those two lil singles or whatever he put out w his respective poem books.  i didn’t like either of those on the same note.  i wonder if diru will disband in the next 5 years or if they’ll keep going and become sort of a nuisance cuz i can already see it kinda happening.

8P-SB is literally better than all Kpop. Jesus Christ the Korean music industry dove into the ocean since the days of SE7EN and Rain in their prime. G-Dragon needs to be like Jesus and revive BIG BANG and save the industry from whatever the hell it's morphing into. 

tbh, tho after that whole biiig thing with seungri and now yg is going on trial for other stuff, i kinda doubt that big bang would be that well received.  even tho they kicked seungri out, idk.  it doesn’t seem likely.

How do you feel about the reboot?

skeptical!   j&sbsb was so unbelievably insincere.  it was good when i was a teenager, but watching it now feels like it’s all a bunch of jibberish.  since the reboot looks to be basically just a rehash (and i don’t even think there’s gonna be any eliza dushku), it’s kinda...🤔

i really want to like mucc since they have some cool instrumentation but that guy singing is just really...bad.  i can’t do it.

On a different note, drinking outside > drinking inside.

Edit: I mean like garage, patio of bar, or at events like sports, car shows, concerts, etc lol

i don’t drink tbh but smoking a bowl is def better outside, especially on a warm night as it’s starting to get dark.

i guess on that note, i prefer smoking from a can over a pipe bc it’s way convenient and you never have to clean it.  also joints/blunts are a waste of tree and completely pointless.

edit: if i’m not allowed to talk about weed here delete this and my bad 😂

I remember actually trying Sweet Potato fries and I didn’t like em. My dad asked why and I couldn’t come up with an answer so I said “there too...sweet?”

 

I honestly didn’t know what to say lol

idk what it is either.  they’re just really gross and make the back of my throat feel weird.

I hate sweet potatoes, yams whatever you want to call them.

hell yeah, man.  finally. 😂

I feel like these days the whole industry is too focused on uniform mass appeal, ideally they want to succeed in Korea, Japan and in the West all at once and what comes out is a big pile of bland sameness. 

it’s honestly such a shame.  no one is really willing to take risks anymore.  every once in a while, someone releases smth really cool and unique...did you hear key’s solo album?  😱 like that is exactly the kind of thing kpop needs rn.  give us variety again.  😔

tbh kpop girl groups are far more interesting than boy groups.  girl groups seem to get more concept ideas and have better music overall.  i honestly don’t understand why boy groups are more popular since they p much just recycle the same 4 concepts for p much every release.  most of them sound p similar to me, too.

That's not unpopular, that's ignorant. TG anime is pure, uninspired garbage. The manga is genuinely great. Series from the golden age haven't aged that well either but TG was never meant to compare with them in the first place lmao

tbh i hope no one tries to compare with golden age stuff.  we’ve already done that.  do smth else.

Just now, secret_no_03 said:

Here's an unpopular opinion, Tokyo Ghoul is trash anime and doesn't hold a candle to any of the series from the golden age.

“golden age” anime are great and all, but that whole “anime has only gotten worse!!  golden age forever” thing is annoying af.  every anime era has good and bad, it doesn’t really matter when it was made.  that being said, idrc about tg either way.  🤔

if we give it time, i’m sure live action anime adaptions will figure out what they’re doing.  let’s not forget, tim burton directed batman once.

welcome!  ☺️
