You sure? Terrorists groups claim the acts their members commit because their entire group is dedicated to it. Its their way of sending messages and trying what they want. You're just assuming that just because he was affiliated to a Men's Right organization, that group is,  supportive and somewhat guilty of it because you decided they're the same kind of dude. 
 
Your fist two lines are quite a mess. Religion based terrorism is different from the people having faith in said religion...but it's a good example about individual actions being pinned to a whole group of people is legit? Alright. 
 
 
Misogeny and sexism are the words modern day "feminism" like to throw around when they detect any stance that differs with the movement. Being the subject an organization that not only aknowledges men have rights as well, thet even admits they can be comprised and fight that actively, wich is the opposite of what a faction of modern day "feminism" aims to achieve I remain skeptical. And doesn't surprise me at all seeing it getting compared to terrorism and spiritual fanatism at the first chance, honestly.
 
 
Sounds like the only cases of sexist violence or murder have a male perpetrator and a female victim. I wonder if it ever happens the other way around.
After a quick google search it indeed seems that these are a thing as well. But I gess it only sexism on the first case.
 
The more you know...!
 
 
 
Yes. Its not like if he killed all those people to steal their wallets. He killed them because his sense of justice, retaionships and himself were fucked up. Specially with his videos. You can see nobody would say "he killed them because black people are all criminals" after hearing him talk.
 
 
What do you mean with this? denied in what context?
 
Is killing people due to feeling entitled to any gril to spread her legs for you not serious enough for you to not be considered illness? 
 
 
Let me tell you, dear, life experience is not exclusive to you.
 
This guy being Asylum material its an insult to other mentally ill people? 
 
Its like saying that having cancer is an insult to people with appendicitis. 
 
I don't even have a clue of what you're thinking.

The article linked by Maiku makes no mention of MRA, misogyny, etc. I cannot find any sources on the Internet that state that this was the attacker's intent. All of this discussion is assumption and we have no right to assume these things no matter how plausible they may seem. Unless these details come out in an official statement, all of this discussion is off topic.
This topic is a hotbed of drama waiting to happen, especially considering the events that have happened over the last week. Since it has been proven on other websites that people cannot discuss this topic with a cool head, and since I don't feel like dealing with drama, any further mention of things not explicitly supported by the article will be removed. You have all been warned.

Is he a top name at MRA? Did the MRA support his actions? Why do this individual's action and morals extend to a group he signed to join?
I honestly think when someone that talks the way he talks in his videos and ends up killing people because of his beliefs is not a sane person. Regardless of gender, race, sex, etc.

Looking forward to this!

haha i love both feeny and edgey, they are such an amazing characters and their sense of humor deserves its own thread imo ;D i also adore franziska, she's just perfect <3 and yeah, logic thingie fits perfectly for edgeworth. such a shame that game is much easier in comparison to gba ones. kinda miss that feeling when you have a tiny "health bar" and one fucking mistake will make you to replay everything again, without possibility of skipping dialogues.
 
#random best miles emotion of all times:

If you dont like what Blackdoll is saying why not just ignore it or state your complete opinion once rather than continuosly ganging up on them and running a thread in circles for two pages.

Both their last singles are up here in perfect quality.

take away the black, silver, and green marks woohoo visual kei. and they are now embracing them looking sexless japanses guys.

Cool, it brings together different fanbases to gather potentially larger crowds and also gives bands exposure to slightly new audiences, IMO.
I liked BORN live too. Eurobrahs getting some cool shows.

Ok, so let me rephrase my question:
 
Where can I sign the petition to bring them to other CONTINENTS too ?

Having not been to Japan nor seen the visual kei scene firsthand, I can only give my opinion from an outsider's point of view. But I feel like there a probably quite a few young men who aspire to become visual kei artists and get into the scene and aren't able to break through, because of financial reasons and/or they just simply aren't good. It seems it's hard to make it as a band no matter where you are in the world; then top that off with buying/making expensive, elaborate outfits and hairdos and makeup, etc., the finances can get thin. The live houses you perform at and the studio production of your CDs also probably play a factor. And that probably also affects your audience turnout. 
 
I don't know... I went on a rant that probably wasn't in relation to your topic, so if so... I apologize lol 

I think its become less accepted and more difficult to get away with in the Japanese music business. If it were mainstream and accepted i would think we'd see it more often and not only underground bands like La'veil Mizeria doing it. Like i said i think the indie labels are behaving more and more like the major ones and the artists seem to have less control. Maybe the vk industry going down is part of that too. Visual kei doesn't seem to be as popular anymore. 
 
I think the artists have the talent and artistic vision to be great though but the labels hold too many restrictions on the artists. If bands like the gazette, versailles or an cafe were still rocking like never before and undercode was in good shape like it was visual kei music would be doing well.
 
I think visual kei is missing those "Super groups" that bring in fans. I'm sick of seeing good bands slowly falter into nothingness or disbanding out of no where. I put the labels at fault.

Why wouldn't it matter? Isn't shock the very definition of what visual kei was intended to be? does "Psychedelic violence crime of visual shock" ring any bells? And it doesn't even have to be only about looks, It can be with controversial or taboo lyrics, contrasting themes or ideas, blending of musical genre's, etc.

but today it's very difficult to be shocking or special.everything is accepted and maistream.
it doesn't matter if they want to be pretty if they still have rock looks. or strange looks.how about these bands that dress like hosts in pop designer stage clothes. how is that vkei?just because you fix your hair and wear pretty make up and pop clothes, you are vkei? how is that different with pop.
i do not have a problem with pop rock. but how are you vkei?

i hate bands that  try to be ugly just to be shocking and fail miserably. and just look stupid ,ridiculous and just ugly.
but not provocative or shoking at all or special. while there are pretty bands with more smart or provocative looks.

but about music as much as i do enjoy new bands .
i haven't found  a new that i can honestly say has better music than some older.(maybe it's personal taste)

 also i think neo visual kei it's just a word to describe things more easy,like old school. i do not get why it makes you angry.
it doesn't indicates opinion of what is better.as a word.only that times changed.

Cool.

This thread is so much fun.

The concert in Vienna was totally awesome... Not many people (around 25 I guess) but a very good show, incredible skills and total joy from the band (that's how it felt at least)! You might now think; hey - this guy is involved, never would he state any different -> but trust me, I've seen many japanese bands live now (I don't count anymore actually, more then 200 different artists) and they are one of the really really good ones - live at least! It was better then I expected from the PV's alone - great stage presence especially - and very nice guys overall.
 
Here's the setlist from 21/05/2014 @ Aera, Vienna:

Credits for this setlist-picture go to Carine Coelho!
 
And on twitter you can see UPLIFT SPICE together with Austrian/Viennese Support-Band 'Headgrenades';

I highly recommend you to go and visit the show(s)!
Even if you might think they're just "Pop-Punk" and not your genre or if you think "nobody will be there anyways"! You will be proven wrong - quality-wise, not audience-wise tho I guess (but they totally kill it even in front of 20 people - so you'd better be one of them)!

I bought Madoka Kaname nendoroid but then I realise what I want to do with QB...

Bought a copy of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle Last week
 

Cool.

^ Dude you should definitely check out Steins;Gate visual novel if you haven't already, done by the same people who did Chaos;Head. I know that you can buy the English version online but also alternatively you can pirate the Japanese version online and then English patch it if that's more to your liking. Definitely one of my favorite VN's from the past few years and plus the anime is really good as well (not as good as the VN, but still decent).

Wassup guys.
Victoria Day here so last night I stayed up messing around and played the demo for that BlazBlue Visual Novel game 「XBlaze」 on my Playstation.
It didnt have any actual choices besides what you are interested in, that changes the games outcome, but was pretty cool.
I dont see too much info on the game, anyone know if it will have actual choices, and can you hook up with the girls? Will teddies be shown?
Anyway, I got a little itch for Visual Novels so I am going to play a little of what I have before Wrestling tonight. I think I have one of the Chaos;Head games that I never beat and some eroge, lol.

This. I'm being teased too much... Waiting for an actual update of some kind... T_T
 
Anyway, here they are at Stylish Wave '14:
