Quote:

L'arc just seems more mature and AT THE SAME TIME more fun than Gackt, so I'll make a huge horrible generalization and say that the wank must be similarly of a better quality XDDDD

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. But usually both sides have somewhat of a point, and I've never seen the entire fandom dogpile someone (hell, even someone proclaiming an album sucks when it doesn't) without very good cause (e.g. the Anime News Network reviewer who trashed on Hyde's voice in the Live In The USA DVD did get his e-ass handed to him by a couple of fans. . .)

I LOVE L'Arc. Their new album Kiss is awesome (except for the Christmas song, just WHY the fuck did they do that). Awake is pure awesomesauce, as was Smile, as was almost every album they've made.

They are more fun than Gackt, most definitely. ^_^

Quote:

wank is a lot of fun to watch. But too much of it going uncorrected just gets depressing.

Agreed, and I don't like being a part of it. However, I see wank as inevitable and as a gauge of how healthy a fandom IS, sort of like expressing anger is a gauge of how healthy and capable of coping a person is. If a person never, ever seemed to get angry at ANYTHING, I'd not see them as totally zen, I'd see them as trouble waiting to happen someday when it all boiled over. In the same way, I see a totally wank-free and even negativity without wank-free fandom as a place that's not very healthy.

On the other hand, if people can express negativity with the source material or disappointment with it, and yes, even if there's the occasional wank war between people who disagree, I see it as a healthy fandom where discussion and debate and dissension ARE allowed and people aren't expected to be the Borg.
