leenaevilin:leenaevilin:[Personal] some general advice!!I would like to address some fandom related stuff because things are currently going in the wrong direction, so please keep reading and try to re-think about certain actions! ① DON’T STREAM STAGES (stream recordings ❌ dvd/blu-ray rips ❌) on youtube, bilibili or any other streaming site!ESPECIALLY DO NOT STREAM MOVIC and MARVELOUS PRODUCTIONS‼even if you own a DVD/Blu-ray and want to share your love… do it PRIVATELY if you have to but DO NOT stream!!!I don’t know if you guys realised it but a lot of productions use PIA LIVE STREAMING or Streaming+ these days (instead of dmm or niconama) to stream their shows.there are several reasons why they choose these services (like the streaming stability provided by these sites) but one of them is, that unless you have a Japanese Credit Card/can pay at a Japanese convenient store and have a Japanese Phone you can’t get access to these streams, which makes it ‘almost’ impossible for people outside of Japan to get their hands on them.YES, the industry is well aware of illegal actions performed by a lot of foreigners and is trying to make it harder for foreign fans to see their favourite show, which is a biiiigggg step back!! and sorry to say that but this is partly the fault of those among us who think it is a good idea to upload these videos on streaming sites!! you are NOT doing the fandom a favour!! the opposite is the case!! you are actually ruining it for the international fandom!!which brings me to my second point ② DON’T POST GIFS/SCREENCAPS of stages (stream recordings ❌ dvd/blu-ray rips ❌)well at least try not to post them on twitter!! especially not when you are following Japanese actors!‘western culture’ is colliding with the Japanese at this point (and the law…)the majority of Japanese fans are not amused about it because it’s an unwritten rule here in Japan. NO GIFS!!! NO SCREENCAPS!!!try to keep it as private as possible!! I’ve been doing it here in the past so I’m definitly not an angel… but I’ve never done it on twitter! so if you don’t want to get into trouble with the law… stop at least doing it on twitter!speaking of getting into trouble ③ DON’T RE-POST ‘OFFICIAL’ PICTURES FROM ACTORS (pix posted by actors on twitter, their blogs/fanclubs ❌ or official pictures like genepro-pix ❌)again, at least try not to re-post them on twitter!!to be honest, I’m still debating with myself about this point… I mean, I’ve never re-posted pix on twitter… but those of you who follow me for quite some time now know that I like to promote my 3 oshis from time to time (using their pix) BUT I always put my sources in my posts!!!anyway, the recent post by >>荒牧慶彦 official<< (translation by Christie on twitter) made me rethink. meaning: for now I won’t post pix of my oshis (nor genepro-pix) here on my blog.so please do the same (at least on twitter) and instead of re-posting the pix just simply retweet them and give the actual post a big LIKE ❤️ thx for reading! let’s try to make to this fandom a better place for all of us and not ruin it! we have come so far these years, so seeing that there are steps in place to make it less accessable for foreigners again is really sad!! [Personal] please spread the word!!there are still a lot of fans who haven’t seen this, so please help me spread the word. Let’s bring this fandom back on the right track together^^ The Makki official request is one of the reasons i had even more trouble coming back to tumblr. I am editing gifs a lot and peronnal MV for fun and even if i am not posting on twitter much i did post a lot on tumblr. it’s complicated for me on one hand i hate stopping doing that but also i need the fanmade posts about tousute to get everything that is happenning, so i really hope this won’t dry out the common enjoyment we share. so please, continue to support the internationnal comunity by being respectfull on twitter and do not post videos anywhere ! -- source link
