I knoooooooow! It's ridiculous, right? *sigh* It's one thing to not like what the band or Ruki himself is doing right now, but to call them sell-outs and mainstream? o.O Like you said, they're VK and VK is NOT mainstream in any interpretation of the word! I think part of it could be that these people are so used to GazettE themselves, listening to the music every day, only hanging out with other fans, only talking about them online, filling their waking hours with the band in some form or another all the time... that they lose sight of the fact that most people around them have no idea what the hell the GazettE is. Maybe they miss the indie days, maybe they miss the titillation they experienced when they first started listening to the band? I don't know, just speculating to find some kind of logic in the craziness.
The uproar about Shiver was in parts about how the Gazefandom would suddenly have an influx of bad, icky anime fans! Ewww, anime-cooties!!! ;) The band was happy to get a new audience for this one song, but some of the fans were not because the GazettE is their band or something and anime fans are not worthy. That was the gist of it, and it was ugly as fuck. It's bad when Ruki has to address it, right?
What went around today all of a sudden, was a rumour that Black Moral was closing, despite the fact that Gaze staff, Ruki, Aoi, the BM twitter, OHP, etc and so on, have not said anything about such a thing happening. *sigh* It seems to have started with one person with too much time on their hands and a desire to upset people and cause wank, and then it spread quickly over Tumblr. As things tend to do. One reblog is all it takes, isn't it? And then the ball is rolling downhill...
