Caution, Rant Ahead

May 13, 2011 22:25

Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you shouldI've noticed people on twitter (and it tends to be the same people) include G in their convos. As in adding @GACKT to their list of names. And it bugs the crap out of me and asked them to stop. And why. Tonight I got jumped on and essentially told that we shouldn't be telling other ( Read more... )

life: rant

I have to say I agree completly! I always delete it when I see it in replying and when it's nessecery to use I just write it as [at]GACKT... I guess many people don't even realise they are spamming him or they just want revenge for HIS spamage Xp Poor guy!!!:/

I mean, I know accidents happen especially since there are a few folks on twitter with GACKT in their screennames, so it can get missed. I get that. But twitter just isn't the place for this. It would be different if it was like a messageboard or something, where he could easily catch up and understand.

I know. And it wasn't like I was just saying 'don't include him'. I gave reasons why, because we all kind of understand the mountains of tweets he already gets. I don't get this 'well I can do it so I'm going to' perspective. There are a lot of things I can do, but that doesn't mean I should do all of them.

ok I totally know what are you talking about.. I do agree with you... it is embarasing that some of us did that... The convos are usually nothing but meaningles perversion...don't think I was very comfortable seeing his name there.....-_-" but what the heck could I do to stop them? they obviously didn't listen to you, so they doubtfully would have listened to me....>_>

I'm probably guilty of it too, but when I realized what it does and how twitter reacts to loading pass tweets I stopped. I probably didn't convey it in the best way, but twitter isn't easy for anything like that. I feel bad that fans probably aren't getting seen because they get bumped down so low, but like you said it didn't seem anyone was really listening.

some times saying something will not always result in to something that you will get, it is what it is and yah that's too bad, but i understand what you are something from, to make things more clearer, and in a more proper way to purpose how certain people do that, but keep in mind, sometimes its just for fun, some people dont really mean to spam him, but understand that its not because those people want to get back at him for spamming, or anything like that, and when you think about it, (its kind og G's fault that hes almost always H when hes on twitter (twater) so that kind of stirs us up ( ... )

sorry i type so fast that i cant spell verry well, and i just woke up lol

I know people don't mean to spam him, but that's why I tried to explain what it does when that's done. My biggest arguement against it is because he's missing out on fan tweets because of it, and I feel bad for those fans whose tweets he'll not see. It wasn't so much that I was trying to tell people how and how not to tweet like I was being accused of, just mostly trying to give them a different side to consider. I probably conveyed my frustration more, and twitter makes conversing complicated. I try to keep that in mind, but I really felt like they just weren't interested in listening. It wasn't intended to embarrass or hurt them, we all make mistakes. I'm likely guilty of it too. But I didn't deserve the 'don't tell us how to tweet' attitude either. It was an emotional blast, and twitter's limit doesn't make it any easier. In our own ways, we were all kind of at fault ( ... )

kazeyu May 14 2011, 22:28:37 UTC

all of this is understandable, all i was saying is that, yah, twitter is not a correct way to present it.
bu DMing would of been more proper IMO, this just went out of control from what it looks like.

give them time, sometimes there are things that need to be put out differently so that there is more of an understanding, i knew you were frustrated with it all, but being upset, and saying things in an negative tone, sometimes stirs things up, yah it happens with me :/ but it only mean that i approached things the wrong way. or at least that how i see it :/

You already know how I feel about this. Maybe some people think differently, but whether you did it tweeting or DM, I don't see the problem. & what were you going to do, DM all 5 or however many when you can just do it there. I don't think what you did was rude, but maybe you didn't word it right? I have no idea ( ... )
