Argh, I have to wait until I'm home from work to watch the Fadeless preview! But the photos! MY GOD! That picture with Kai stretched out seductively on the bed . . . I nearly fell face-first on my desk. (Yes, nosebleeding everywhere would be VERY unprofessional). What IS it with that boy lately? First the Melt pornphlet, then the Shoxx shoot with the orgasm picture (complete with white splatters on the page!) and now this. Not that I'm exactly complaining. Oh, HELL no. Whatever they're putting in his water as of late, I hope they give him gallons of it.

And meanwhile, we have a couple of damn scary stories of fangirl behavior: OneDirection fans threatening GQ staffers (American GQ staffers over an article that was posted on the British GQ site, yet) and a certain group of Korean Kpop fans who stalk their favorite bands to the point of invading their homes. Um, people? This is the sort of thing that gives ALL fans a bad name - and, as seen above, it's also the kind of thing that the mainstream media pays attention to, not the side of fandom that's about things like creativity and friendships. Stop, please.

Ha, FINALLY! Between the Melt shoot, the Shoxx shoot and this, the fandom won't be able to resist him. Maybe they will FINALLY stop seeing him as the unpaired leftover sock and start shipping him with bandmates. (Hey, Aoi practically has an out-of-band canon love interest. That leaves four boys to pair off with each other).

The behavior makes the Gaze fandom at its worst seem positively placid, doesn't it? I had seen jokes on Tumblr about how out-of-hand Directioners could be, but I didn't think they'd actually do something like threaten magazine staffers. o_O Granted, I'm sure those people aren't representative of their entire fandom - the lunatic fringe never is - but it's still pretty damn scary.
