Petty arguments.

There's some things that needed to be argued with, and what I mean by that I meant the more serious issues. Racism. Homophobia. Sexism. Transphobia. [The people who stereotype and fetishize an entire race, but that can fall under racism.]

I get it, most people in most fandoms are young teenagers. At that age I was impressionable, easy to lose my cool, and to dive head on into arguments. While I'm still that way, to a certain extent, it gets tiring and I just don't like dealing with it anymore. I don't care if you don't like my favorite band, or if you hate my favorite character.

It's too much of a hassle to tell you why I love these things and why you should just leave it alone.

We as human beings, we're never satisfied. Especially when it comes to music. You like what you like, if your band doesn't do what you like anymore sometimes you get angry and you bash on it. It's happened with many bands, not just the GazettE in general.

I learned to move on from a band who doesn't interest me anymore, I just simply don't listen to their newer music and leave it at that. Because a band can choose what direction they want to go with their careers, and I've learned that they don't owe a damn thing to us fans. "We're what created them." Well, yes fans are a big part of the deal-but they still have their personal freedom to do what they please with their music.

I don't know where I'm going with this, honestly I suppose I'm trying to say is....Not everyone is going to share your views. You're not going to like everyone in the fandom. I can say that in the Sixth Gun fandom alone I've accumulated a few people who disliked me and I dislike back. I ignore them and they ignore me.

It's best to eventually just move on with your life, be the mature one and if you have to stand up for yourself then do so. Also don't be afraid to stand up for your friends in the fandom.

Sometime fandoms are cruel and well, annoying.

Ranking the GazettE albums.

 This might be a little controversial to some fans, but lately I've been thinking about my personal favorites of GazettE and thought sin...
