March Is Not Shaping Up Too Well...

Just yesterday I came across two pieces of upsetting news: one in the real world and the other in the fandom world.  I'll begin with the real world because that is really important.  If you have a Twitter or a Facebook or any other means of social networking, you may have seen the words 'Invisible Children' somewhere.  There is this mass project going on to make it well known who these children are.  I came across this video (which is being spread), and if you have half an hour, it's worth watching.  I didn't think I could sit through and watch all of it.  ^^;;  But I did.  And even if you don't watch all of it, at least get something out of it.  And pass it on.  :D  I know that there're alot of bad things happening in the world, but I feel that for the longest time problems in places like Africa and India go unnoticed.

I'm not much of a shaker or a mover when it comes to stuff like this, so all I can really do is just pass this on.  :3

Ah, the next issue within the fandom.  Yet again, JYJ has been accused of hitting and cursing at their fans.  There is an alleged video (audio only) where you can hear Jaejoong cursing and 'hitting' a fan.  I have not watched these videos though.  Some fans who heard of this news were shocked.  Two general reactions were either anger and extremem disappointment at the members or anger and extreme disappointment toward these fans.  I'm against any kind of violence, but I have to admit that these fans got what they came for.  But it is suprising that the members have lasted this long with these kinds of fans.  "What kind," you ask?  They are called 'sasaeng' fans....an EXTREME version of stalkers.  This post from Tumblr explanis it better:  Sasaeng Fans.  Now, I may call myself a crazy-obsessed fan, but I know for sure that I am nowhere near the level of them.  I have yet another article that tells of various incidences involving all members of TVXQ.  But it's not only this group that has suffered from sasaengs.  Warning:  There is quite a bit of cursing in the beginning and it is really long, but I advise you read it all.  Other famous Kpop stars as well have been stalked.  It's just that TVXQ's tends to be really prevalent.  I've heard of some of these incidences for the span that I've been a Kpop fan.  And I do remember the members speaking about them on a variety program.  However, there were some events that I didn't even know about.  ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CAME TO MY ULTIMATE BIAS BEING INJURED AND BROUGHT TO THE POINT OF TEARS!!!!  >:O  It was really upsetting.  And then when I looked at my poster of them in my room, I felt really bad for them.  I have KakaoTalk for the simple reason of looking for Changmin (because apparently he has one) but now I don't think I'll be using it for a long time because it sounds like stalking.  In any case, this post should hopefully bring more insight and make us all rethink what kind of fans we are.     

     

A Small Scenario Involving My Two Top Biases

While looking around on Tumblr yesterday, I came across a macro of Junnosuke that I just couldn't pass up!  Then I came up with the thought that it went so well with one of the macros I have of Changmin~!  So, I made a small scenario out of it:

Imagine a hot lady walks by Junnosuke and Changmin who are just sitting around.  Junnosuke happens to catch a view of her as she's walking away and mutters:

Changmin then gets a good look at the lady, and then looks back at Junnosuke.  He replies by saying:

Junnouske is suprised at his comment and asks why he would say that.  Changmin answers by simply saying: "I'm told I can take a look at 100 girls and 'just know'."

Huhu~!  Funny, right?  ............No?  Ah, I apologize then.  I'm not quite funny.  If it offends anyone, I apologize for that too.  .____.  Credit to the original makers of both macros.
