Hyde says XP to all the sucky people

Yo. When did the L'Arc~en~Ciel and Hyde fandoms explode and why did they only attract idiots? They're starting to look scarily like the Gackt fandom... (not that all Gackt fans are idiots, I know quite a few great ones, but there are a lot you must admit) ...I'm not even going to start on the gakuhai fandom.

You know, it's probably my fault. Two Hyde fans starting the gakuhai community... yeah... far too influential for our own good, I fear.


I have to say, I'm glad to hear that [livejournal.com profile] larcenciel has instituted new rules similar to those we've had at gxh for a while. Almost makes a girl want to go back to the community. Now if only [livejournal.com profile] _hydeist were to install such rules. But, alas, the mods there are still fairly new to the fandom. And started as Gackt fans. Suddenly everything is crystal clear.

What I really want to know is why the "Hyde" community is dedicated to primarily Laruku and gakuhai? I mean... shouldn't it be about Hyde's solo career? There's already much better and older communities for the other two.


Just a thought. If I've offended anyone. Well. Tough. Get a thicker skin.

Why do you think I shudder in terror when the stupid Gackt fangirls start to go "OMG I LOVE CHACHA!"

>< I'm like... "NO YOU DON'T! You like Cha WITH Gackt. You don't know shit about his solo career, so STFU!" >

me is not a _hydeist comm member as that's exactly the image i was getting from the "come join this comm" post... so i stayed out of it.

laruku comm is now so much quieter with new rules.

I am started to get bugged by some of the posts ppl put in the new Hyde community. Like one said that some of the bg's or settings that Hyde has in some of the pictures, clearly proves his colourblindness. It was the one where he was in the room with all the clocks with all the different times and stuff. I don't think they noticed all the art stuff around him. The picture is supposed to be like that. >.>

Well, this is just my opinion, but I think it might have to do with MoonChild being released. I remember alot of "OMG, Moonchild's awesome and I discovered Gackt(and/or) Hyde and they're so sexy together!...They make music too right?" Posts in dears/gakuhai after that.

I think Hyde is cool, but I don't really like Laruku. I haven't heard little of Hyde's solo stuff, so I can't say anything about that.

As for Gackt, I like most of his stuff, his persona's very entertaining, and yes, he's attractive. >.> I can't deny that I find GacktxHyde much more entertaining than dears.

I've got no clue what type of fan I am or if what I do or say would piss off both of them, but I hope not.^^;

I agree that if it's meant to be for Hyde, it should be for Hyde and Hyde alone. There is already a wonderful Gakuhai community. There are several Laruku communities. There's a Haitsu community. FOR GOD'S SAKES, IF THERE'S GOING TO BE A HYDE COMMUNITY, PLEASE LET IT BE ABOUT HYDE!

*Breathes* Okay. I'm calm now. I think.

I was a Gackt fan before I was a Hyde fan, personally (although now I'm more of a Hyde fan. I think it's your fault. XD). And it scares me how many insane people out there are just into Gackt or into Hyde or L'Arc~en~Ciel just because they guys look good. I loved their music first. That's what I'm in the fandom for. The music. It's just a plus that they happen to be nice-looking. ^_^

But, yeah. Scary fangirls get on my nerves. I can go all fangirly as much as any sane (or insane) girl, but the key point is: the music comes first.

And that's my two cents worth. Or one cent worth. Or maybe it's not worth anything, but it's my opinion.

Ooh. As a Gackt fan, I DO feel a little stupid right now. >_>

I was a Gackt fan to start with :P Gackt was one of my first tastes of Japanese music and I fell in love as soon as I heard. I'm a huge Gackt fangirl, really, but oddly enough I don't scream and flail about him the way I do about the Laruku boys. Maybe it's because it's an over four years long love affair, and Laruku are new additions to my life. I don't know.

But yeah. I'm so sick and tired of the comms and the "OMG THEY ARE SO HOTTT TOGETHER IM LYK THEIR BIGGEST FAN & *insert random crap that no-one gives a fucking damn about here*" or the "OMG I HAVE LOOKED EVERYWHERE & LYK I TOTALLY CAN'T FIND LYRICS 4 ORANGE NO TIEYO" and it's like -___- it's not that hard, since in about 2 seconds flat I found minako's senshigakuen site, with every single Gackt song romanised and translated -____- Granted, Hyde's songs proved a little harder, but sheesh it's not that hard.

I also can't stand the people who get into the music just because the guy/people are hot. Shallow, much? Sure, visual is a part of the music in many cases, but music is still music and you need to be able to enjoy that music even when the visual is taken away, or even when the visual is completely unappealing. *sigh*. Why do people have to be so shallow?

I don't even bother reading the comms these days. I glance over to see if anyone with more than 2 brain cells has posted anything, and then that it's. Half the time I don't even bother reading the fanfics because they're so pathetic, unimaginative and badly written that I don't know a word to use to describe them.

As for the Hyde comm not being primarily about his solo work ... I find that incredibly odd. I would have thought that they would have been focusing on his solo work and acting like Laruku didn't exist. Now I'm sitting here scratching my head (literally, actually, since my head is itchy XD) and wondering why that is. Maybe it's because Hyde info is harder to find than Laruku info?

... it hurts saying that since it's not hard at all -___-

My conclusion is that most people in any of the fandoms need to be gassed.
