platy 3018 Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) I just don't see the point of shipping, specially when it's real life people. Like... Uruha is married and probably Aoi too. It's never gonna happen. But to each their own, I'd just like to understand what's the purpose of doing it. fanfic and fanart are easier to take on and understand imo than this craze of dying for people you ship and doxxing anyone who says otherwise.

ShTon 268 Posted March 1, 2017 Yeah, I like to ship people. I enjoy fanfiction and fanart but one has to be aware it's only fantasies and being fanatic about your ships makes no sense. 4 Komorebi, itsukoii, suji and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually REALLY wish Ruiza was married and had a lovely girl taking care of him, but I ship him with Asagi anyways, cuz they seem to beg for it. It's like shipping JohnLock, even though John is married to Mary. Can we ship Keiju and the cat?

Takadanobabaalien 3607 Posted March 1, 2017 Probably also an unpopular opinion since fanfics etc are pretty normal in this fandom but I always found shipping real people weird and kinda gross. They're not fictional characters. But as long as people don't bother the actual bandmembers then I guess it's okay. 5 platy, Mr.0, Sparrow and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chemicalpictures 1888 Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) Fanfic is really really freaking weird; So is shipping; It's Also pointless, but playing Overwatch is aswell, and people don't seem to judge me because of it, so each fun to its own, I guess. The weakest link of Sukekiyo is the man himself. His voice really undermines some fucking great instrumentals...

violetchain 912 Posted March 6, 2017 To be fair, what people are shipping is usually such a vague, idealized version of the band member that it might as well be a fictional character. 2 Seimeisen and suji reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Himeaimichu 1535 Posted April 3, 2017 Closer by the Chainsmokers sucks. F*ck, everything by them just f*cking sucks. I thought their song "Selfie" was just a joke.. turns out, "We ain't never getting older" repeated 848639751937567417^10*485018589 (A number so big, it's in scientific notation) times is not a joke, and it's authentically repetitive, generic trash. And the general public eats that sh*t up! I don't see what's so appealing about a bunch of autotuned guys saying the same double negative in an amount so big, it, it has to be in Scientific notation. Then again, it's pop music. Why am I annoyed if I don't even listen to it? Because IT'S EVERYWHERE. Everywhere I go, I hear that same song. How does it not get old for people? Am I just a "goth" person who only listens to trash, or am I the only one with a brain that gets annoyed with monotony? 3 NICKT, Seimeisen and jaymee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShTon 268 Posted April 3, 2017 To be honest, I had to check out what song is that. I mean, I probably heard it, but I instantly forgot it. Maybe it's the same for other people and that's how they can listen to it? Or maybe they are writing somewhere about their hate for that song just like you? xD I'm not a big fan of pop music in general. Sometimes there is a song I like but that's all. But repeating one line in a song so many times it breaks the math really is irritating. ._. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Part of me feels elitist, but at least I'm not like other people and I acknowledge it's valid music. May be ear raping music, but still music. (It's kind of like with all the art that's being made these days. I may not like it, but I'll defend it's status as art because, art can be found in anything and there is always some loophole xD.) Plus, the general public (Especially in my ultra religious area) would call my music "sinful", so I guess on both sides, me and the general public are even xD 1 ShTon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tokage 5930 Posted April 4, 2017 I also agree w/ the other ppl here who think writing fanfiction about real people is fucking weird & kind of creepy i kind of dont rly see the point of fanfic in general anymore these days tbh, like, just focus yr creative energy on trying to write something original instead of leeching off other ppl's creations and totally derailing them??? 5 NICKT, Seimeisen, emmny and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zalemu 236 Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) J-rock fanfic and rp creeps me out too. Imagine some stranger sitting in their basement writing about you and your friends, making headcanons like they live inside of your mind and know how you'd feel or react to things and essentially reducing you to a fictional character instead of a real person. Which is what bandmen are. Real people, idealized or not. It doesn't matter if their vk persona is so over the top that it's almost cartoonish--I don't think that gives people the right to do this. Those "J-rock scenarios" written in 2nd person that are basically self-insert smut fanfics with your favorite bandman deserve a mention as well. Why not keep that to yourself?

Tokage 5930 Posted April 9, 2017 here's some more: - i kind of resent the fact that goatbed seems to have turned into 'le yaoi visual novel band' in many people's eyes in recent years & nothing more - i'm not sure how unpopular this one is, but i really don't feel gossip at all. i feel like that one [vanilla] band (or w/e their name was, idr) did that whole *listens to old gazette ONCE* """""homage"""""(ripoff) thing better - tribute bands/cover bands are generally fucking useless. unless they actually put some sort of twist on the original, i'd rather just... stick to the original, boi - there are only like 6 genuinely good shironuri style bands i can think of, for all the others it feels like people mostly seem to like them solely based on rarez cred - not sure how unpopular this one is at this point in time either, but i feel like vk should stray more into math rock/post-rock/shoegaze/idm/hip-hop & other territories that are 'unconventional' for the scene. i'm 100% sure a lot of people would shit on it because 'muh screams' or 'muh symphonic metal,' but it'd be a breath of fresh air... (imagine a vk country band or something lmao) 7 Chi, emmny, suji and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
