Hope you get better soon!
And woah.... things like this happens everyday... it's true.
I hope that you don't feel too much this way....
The management deserves much of the blame lol

Thanks!

Yeah, it's just something I've been thinking about for a long time now.. So I had to pen it down :x

*four thumbs up*
I do feel that way about them sometimes :/ They created a facade that we all believe about them.
This was good, woman!

The more recognition they get, the more I think that way. Ahhh. Thanks dude (:

And I'm still doubtful on whether to post this to the comms.. Cos it's kinda uh...

theklewerz March 24 2012, 11:55:13 UTC

I know, dude. Yesterday, I wanted to say that you might get lots of bricks thrown at you. But, let's hope not XD

Well... *shrugs* LOL

Personally, I think pieces like these are needed every once and a while. Not just fics about hot sex and cheesy fluff and dreary angst or drama, but stories that make readers think and reflect on everything they've been given or assumed. It's too easy for fandoms, especially as one as large as the GazettE fandom, to accept everything as it is and go on. They follow trends that others have set up for them, portray characters that are so drastically twisted and distorted that it becomes rotten. While none of that will ever stop, eventually somebody comes along and thinks differently. They question the majority and write a piece about it. The don't cut corners or hide the message underneath emotions or pretty words. The writing is clear, the thoughts are straightforward, and this is what causes people to think ( ... )

Wow, thank you very much for your detailed review! I rarely ever get critiques like yours, and I really appreciate you putting time and effort into leaving such a long comment.

I was doubtful about posting this into the comms because it can be offensive to some, if not many people (fans, that is). But I had to try, and I did. Sure enough it got rejected by a comm but oh well.

I used to really love the band. I was one of those mindless fans. But I stepped out of the fandom for awhile, and when I looked at them, I just can't help but think these. While I'm glad that someone out there is able to relate and share the same perspective as me, it's also saddening to see how much the band has grown and evolved to such a direction.

Thanks again, and I do feel all better already (:

Really? That's surprising. If anything, that gives it all the more reason to be in the comm. Of course, if the fic didn't meet the comm's rules or standards, that's understandable. But my reasoning is if it offends people, it will make them think. The problem with the GazettE fandom, especially nowadays, is that fans tend to be too sensitive. They take everything that isn't praise or silliness as a personal attack when it really is just preference or expressing thoughts. It's something different, and it's disappointing that people here take stuff like this too seriously and view it as a threat. Thinking on these things too much can be problematic. In the end, it's simply a fic.

As much as a person loves a band, I think people shouldn't blindly follow them. They give you music and something to enjoy, yes, but the messages behind their music should make you think and challenge. You don't have to love every single or album they produce, and you don't have to agree with everything they say. Blaming the band because it doesn't fit your ( ... )

Ahh yes yes I agree! It's a tendency die-hard fans have and it gets on me sometimes. It's sad though.. And I think it's a sad cycle.

You know, I like it!
It's very true, and written well.
I like the way you did this, that negativity
But we'll continue to support this band in the end
love the gazette!

kiroyo March 24 2012, 06:22:04 UTC

Thank you (: I just had to share the negativity >
