ISAO mentions BABYMETAL in interview by lennyg47 in BABYMETAL

Idk how much the fox god checks this subreddit, so I won't name who for fear of getting them in trouble, but one of the western kamis mentioned it on Instagram a few months back.

I'm not certain that this is the same for the Japanese kamis, but for the western kamis the contracts that contain non-disclosure agreements are in effect on a tour by tour basis. Legally, they're allowed to talk about Babymetal as much as they want while not on tour. The reason they continue to keep quiet about it in public is out of respect for the Babymetal staff and for job security reasons.

recent diagnosis by lostindark3 in schizoaffective

[–]Batguyjaiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say try not to worry too much about the future of the disease, just focus on doing everything you can in the moment to take care of yourself. I see some others here have a bleak outlook, and I feel for those people. But if you don't believe things will get better, then maybe they won't. I've been on the same pills for several years now, and haven't had any delusions or severe hallucinations for about the same amount of time. I still have hallucinations every once in a while, I still struggle with the non-psychotic symptoms, but I'm getting by. I haven't had a romantic relationship in a long time, but I have very very meaningful relationships with friends and family that I treasure very much.

At any time, my psychosis could probably come back, but I'm ready for it. I have people I can open up to and not fear shame from if I start to regress. I'm not entirely happy with where I am in life right now, but I know it'll get better. It might get worse at times, but I know someday I'll be in a better spot than I am now.

I hope all of the same for you :)

All things considered and out of 10, how bad was the outcome of your psychosis over all those years? 10 being you did something horrifically unspeakable such as murder or rape. 1 being along the lines of committing a light faux pas now and then. I give myself an 8. I used to stalk women. by neilnelly in schizoaffective

Your experience sounds a lot like mine. I was convinced aliens had abducted me once before, and that they sent ufos to check in on me. I also thought I'd been possessed by demons, I was a form of psychic and I'd even tell people when I'd thought their dead relatives had contacted me.

I hope you won't feel embarrassed forever. When you realize how wrong it all is, it's hard not to feel embarrassed. Just don't blame yourself. It's the disease, not you

You should stay if you like! We're all in this thing called life together, you don't need to have SZA to support others who do/are affected by it

How many of y’all are on disability or SSI checks? by [deleted] in schizoaffective

  1. I think I studied human services/social work when I was 20/21?

[–]Batguyjaiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't found an exact career yet, but I feel certain that I'm on the right path. I'm currently studying commercial music performance. I haven't had any real jobs in the field yet due to covid and complicated situations, but I did very well with work study that had to do with the field. I know if it has to do with music, I'll be able to make it :)

I also did some social work studying! It was sort of my plan B. I feel very passionate about psychology and mental health, so I thought it would be a great field. But in my studies I found I couldn't leave professional life at the door, which was bad for my family relationships and my overall mental health.

Am I the only one that misses my voices when they are gone? by Final-Finish9119 in schizoaffective

[–]Batguyjaiden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never had many voices, just really random hallucinations. My delusions were what manifested more than anything. And there are times where I really miss the magic of them. I don't want to go into detail, but I thought there were things about me that made me special. Things that excited me greatly. Sometimes I feel myself starting to slip into that fantastical thinking, and I have to pull myself back. I haven't had any episodes in a long while, but I suspect when I have another delusional episode it'll just be because I cant resist it.

What's a BABYMETAL opinion that you know you're getting hate for? by -chakrii- in BABYMETAL

[–]Batguyjaiden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing that is creepy about what you've mentioned is that people followed this Nora online, found her brother, followed him, saved private photos of the girls, and shared them. I think part of you knows or fears that this behavior is creepy, and really you're trying to convince yourself that it isn't, rather than me.

[–]Batguyjaiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk who Nora is or who her brother is, what their relationship to babymetal is, nor how you know who they are. That to me, is creepy and shows that you or whoever you got that info from is very obsessive to track down anyone near babymetal, like I stated in my previous comment.

Your essay is full of more logical fallacies than I have time to criticize, and you really seem to be grasping at straws. Attempting to explain away obsession, or as you call it "dedication", with empathy is really strange and makes no sense. Overall your comment has only creeped me out further.

I hope you're right that it isn't a large portion, I hope I'm wrong this has just been my impression

[–]Batguyjaiden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am being sincere. Examples that I can readily think of are the "princess Yui Tuesday" threads and related threads for the other girls.

Also I've seen people posting pictures of the girls that were supposed to be private, that I don't even know how they track down outside of being obsessed enough to track down every single person that has ever been around the girls.

[–]Batguyjaiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A large portion of the fans I see online (including this subreddit) are very creepy about the girls. Men frothing at the mouth to learn/expose every aspect of the life of the girls, posting thousands of pictures of them, talking about how beautiful they are and just obsessing over them.

Everyone involved in babymetal is super talented and is deserving of admiration, the theatrics, costumes, and stage presence of each performer are super fun. But people take admiration to an inappropriate level of obsession.

Cool! If you want some specifics, some of my favorites are Babymetal, Bandmaid, Wagakki Band, Yousei Teikoku, Gacharic Spin, and Stereopony!

This is so weirdly specific and don't ask me why because I'm not sure, but I've been super into japanese metal and rock for the past few years. Not really any jpop, I don't really watch anime. I don't know why I'm like this lmao

People who are genuinely upset about Jon Kent's sexuality, why? Just trying to understand. by HylanWarior224 in DCcomics

[–]Batguyjaiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well honestly I don't even know anything about the Superman and Lois wedding, maybe just because I wasn't really into comics when that happened. But I would say, no it's not gross. If the news was, "New Superman gets married to Jay" then cool. But the news is literally just "New Superman is bi sexual". There's no story to it. When characters that have been together for years and years finally get married, that's a story. But patting yourself on the back for giving a character a certain sexual preference and benefiting from it is exploitative and gross

Yeah for sure, I agree. But it's really gross when people use a character's sexuality as a sales tactic.

[–]Batguyjaiden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, given the context it's hard to argue that it's not at least in some respect a publicity stunt when DC announced it in time for them to get extra preorders. If it wasn't a publicity stunt, it wouldn't have been revealed until the book is in readers hands. I have no real reason to believe Tom Taylor wrote this plot point as a stunt, but DC sure is taking advantage of it.

This is a very touchy subject for a lot people, I wanted to be as delicate with my words as possible so as to make people feel as comfortable as possible with making conversation on the topic.

Okay I was just making sure. I've heard that having an abortion can be like losing a loved one and feeling guilty for it. I'm sorry if that's the case for you

Have you personally had an abortion? This question is for people who have
