    Lestat got a reaction from Keiyuh in Unpopular Opinion   
    Marvel hasn't done a good movie since X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) apart from the X-Men installment itself and Wolverine. The entire Marvel Cinematic Universe is pandering so heavily towards the millenial meme-generation with its constant usage of comic relief, 4th wall breaking and lightheartedness, and has little respect for the original comics. I'll take DC over Marvel any day.

    M-H will disband at 2021/01/01 due to losing confidence of visual kei since the same date, and their alter-ego band "JROCK ONE" will commence activities

    they will still search for visual-kei news in the future but will not post anywhere in the near future

    PS1: M-H people are talented enough to find news, and thus visual kei no longer needs them anymore
    PS2: that mod, psychonnect_rozen, and vk stan twitter/reddit/facebook groups should be happy for this news
    PS3: hope that this thread will not be deleted or edited by that mod, who is not willing to delete other threads upon his request

    Lestat got a reaction from riyusama in The bad bandmen of VK bands   
    So what you are saying is that once someone loses the image of 'perfection', they deserve to be treated like less than that? I suppose that is what is wrong with this world, it actually does not surprise me that Visual Kei followers (because I cannot call most of them fans) think they have the right to make attempts on someone's personal life. Of course they dress up to gain attention; that is what this whole scene is about. Dragqueens look the way they do because it is a business, circus artists look the way they do because it is a business. Does them removing their makeup or shedding their extreme attire so they can live their personal life after their job call out for an attack? No, it does not.
    The Visual Kei scene is revolting in where it thinks it needs to make the lives of musicians a living hell. I do not understand what goes on in the minds of Japanese girls (and some Western ones who participate in this nonsense), or what drives them to believe that uncovering every single negative truth about someone who they do not personally know and have no business with, is okay.

    In the Visual Kei scene, musicians are already receiving the boot over the smallest of things (i.e. having sex, sharing pictures online, texting with fans, etc.) Those bangya are relentlessly cruel and vicious and are ready to strike down anyone who steps out of that 'dream-like' appearance that these guys must have. They aren't treated as human beings; they are being stalked and harassed and anyone who participates in this kind of obsessive behaviour needs a reality check. I have never been so shocked by a musician's behaviour that I found it necessary to shun them or made attempts to ruin their reputation or lives. They are people — people are faulty and no one is an exception.

    Lestat got a reaction from Rahzel in Any asexuals around here?   
    I highly believe I am asexual, but I would rather not label myself as anything other than myself — seeing as I bear no interest in sexual activity, I feel it's unneccesary to call myself anything –sexual at all or leap into any social construct regarding the matter. I am not sexually attracted to people, but more or less aesthethically. Surely, there are people I find immensely beautiful and alluring to look at, but I could never imagine myself sharing a bed with them for any other reason than actual sleeping. I grow uncomfortable when people touch me for extensive periods of time, and I had rather not even shake hands with people whom I have not known for at least a month or two. I do not know if these experiences are an extension of Asperger syndrome —they very well could be— as there are plenty of people on the autistic spectrum who have no problems with sexual activity and attraction whatsoever, or if they are two separate things altogether. I have had some boyfriends in the past, but I would always grow anxious the moment anything started to happen beyond kissing. Not wanting to have sex with these boys always lead to me being cheated on as I could not and did not want to please their physical needs. This has also lead me to not desire a relationship for myself, either. I do not know if I can ever see myself in a relationship. If I were to have sex at all in this life, I wouldn't have it before marriage. I need to be certain of the person, however it's always unclear whether you will be spending the rest of your life in the same relationship. This is conflicting and currently I am leaning toward not ever having sex at all, even in a potential marriage. Unfortunately it's difficult soloing life, especially with how darned expensive everything is nowadays. You can barely keep up a regular household with two individuals, let alone one.
     
    I find anything pornographic extremely distasteful and I bear quite the aversion against the openness of the matter of sex in this age. It is everywhere, and it makes me very uncomfortable and dirty. I find the human anatomy very aesthetic and interesting, and to see it being tarnished by sex is —in my eyes— very sad and abasing. Perhaps this is ironic in that case, but I could never see a penis as anything more than an organ meant for urinating, for instance, yet I find it a very beautiful organ.
     
    As for the view on Visual kei artists; as I said above, my attraction to some of them is purely based on aesthetic pleasure. Perhaps it is also why I am more or less attracted to so-called femine-looking men, with softer shapes and tones, that Visual kei is an attractive medium. I like pallidness, long limbs and extremities, and ethereal-looking creatures, I would say even androgynous. Anything that would seem to exceed humanity.

    Depends on your political interests. I'm very right leaning and I personally cannot stand the average social justice warrior writer or actor for their individual spoutings of nonsense on Twitter. There's some I adore for the books they write or the roles they play, but if I'm seeing J.K.

    Lovecraft is a different story. The guy was born in an entirely separate time from ours and you cannot compare the late 19th century / early 20th century to ours whatsoever. And for his writings; it's fiction. Get over it if Cthulhu has a distaste for the Chinese or whatever the fuck you can uncover from his warped words. The majority of people during those times were racists.
     
    For another thing, Antifa are actively looking to stir up drama where there isn't. If I remember correctly there have been at least five black metal bands in the past few months who haven't been able to finish their tours or been refused playtime during festivals and the like because these liberals think it's either necessary to threaten the venue or bands personally and thus gigs have been cancelled out of safety, or they've gotten the venues and / or municipalities to believe the bands have racist / national-socialist intentions whereas most black metal bands don't give a damn about political leanings and want to be left alone on the subject. It's just disgusting.

    Alcohol and drugs, recreational or not are for the emotionally and mentally weak and are just a crutch and outside of the real medicinal benefits of marijuana, it's all just a way to desensitize yourself from the world and dull the experience that is living because people aren't happy with their lives for one reason or another. This is why I'm straight edge after having experienced both of them and opting out of the social trends of getting drunk and high as the means of having fun has helped me live a more fulfilling and genuine life.
