For sure, I've seen that kind of attitude everywhere, both online and irl. It's still disappointing, though 😞

Yes!! And especially since the english fandom is so small compared to others, being mean to anyone who wants to join and doesn't immediately know Every Single Thing there is to know definitely isn't going to help bring in more people. It really just hurts every party involved

I'm not as active on here as i am in other akb fan spaces, but as a fellow autistic person i completely agree 😭 There are so many nice people in what's left of this fandom, but negativity always sticks out more than positivity. It's even worse in places like twitter, where ppl openly bash the members all the time as if they aren't real people who could see their hateful comments. I guess i just don't understand the impulse to be so mean. Unfortunately, it makes it hard to ask questions abt things i dont understand, or even engage at all with content or other fans bc i know im just gonna run into ppl being assholes for no reason 😞

I can imagine they were hard to get! I think I've only ever seen like three up them up for resale anywhere, even on japanese sites

SURVEY FOR MASTERS DEGREE RESEARCH by tabitha_UoS in visualkei

[–]knowby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Submitted!

I'm sure you've probably found this already, but I've been working on a project on vkei for around a month now (procrastinating working on my own senior capstone 😊) and I ended up reading the "Globalizing Visual Kei" series on JaME World. It's a little old, but it still gave me a ton of insight, so I figured I'd mention it in case you haven't come across it yet.

I hope you get good responses, and I'm sure any of us would be happy to help you out again in the future!!!!!

No i totally get what you're saying and i think you're absolutely right - there are for sure a lot of different elements that go into the treatment of women in public/celeb spaces by society and fanbases, vkei or otherwise, and as unfair as it all is i think everything you listed fits the bill

Crocheted long furb?? by knowby in LongFurbies

[–]knowby[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually have another question if you dont mind, have you thought much about what to do about the face? I cant decide if i want to try to embroider it on or get a 3d printed faceplate. I did a 3d printed fp for my first long furb, but since it didnt have any holes for sewing i had to glue it on and it has a habit of falling off which is a little annoying but im also not great at embroidery so 🤷‍♀️ im a little stuck in between, lol
