This is apparently a digest of what he posted in his own blog, so once that has been translated, you all should definitely check it out, there's a lot more written there (as well as in Nico Blomaga).How are you all

"Do I seem like such a despicable man?
If I do......
I will polish up on being a man a bit more."
That's the GACKT I know and love~

I'm glad that he's taking this with a fighting spirit and I guess I'm more glad to hear that he was furious, but can laugh at the stupidity and fight back. That line of his "I'm doing just fine with women" is what many DEARS had been thinking. It's great (and kind of funny) to hear it from him, though. GACKT doesn't need to tie up a resisting woman when there are many other women willing to be with him (from the power dominance aspect, he could therefore have any feisty woman or sub for satisfaction). The way he wrote this entry to diffuse the situation is brilliant. It's serious, but lighthearted in a way to say "Everything's OK."

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to translate, Val!

Edit: re-worded a sentence so the ideas behind it hopefully wouldn't be misunderstood.

The only problem is that rape is unfortunately not about sex and desire for sex at all. It's all about power, control, punishment and such, as pyroyale already pointed out. So those words are completely useless even harmful, and I guess they show ignorance. But that's understandable I guess. Most people do not really bother with understanding psychology behind rape.

But I do appreciate the words you quoted. They are good words for fighting this. And very GACKT, yeah!lol

Trying to stay away from the fandom and failing, big time..lol Seriously G, you have such great timing !;p lol

Joke aside, I'm glad he's addressing the matter personally. Thanks for the translation, Val.
