Gay is Bashing!
Bit small compared to the past couple of wanks but full of fangirl rage and lulz.

Some information to better understand the wank. In Japan there is an agency called Johnny's that is the major male idol agency in the country. Most of the most popular boy bands are signed with them, one of these groups is called NEWS.

A few days ago a German NEWS fan [info]chyco_chan decided to share scans from a German J-Pop magazine, that is notorious for poor research and nabbing whatever pictures they can find on the net for their magazine, as this time they snagged two pictures of NEWS/Kanjani8 member Ryo Nishikido for an article about gay life in Japan.

In the words of [info]chyco_chan:

BUT why??? Ryo = gay??? XDDDD
That's bashing XD (not even by us sou~ XD)


She then tries to get people to contact Johnny's about the magazine to tell them about it in the comments as she's afraid of being blamed if the magazine goes out of business.

And then cue the fangirl rage and lols at the article in the seven pages of comments this post has spawned.

There is someone that questions the 'calling someone gay=bashing' of the OP but then goes on about homoerotic the pictures are, despite them being, y'know solo shots.

And we have some minor capslocking of rage against other fangirls by bugattack.

Plus rage against the magazine as this would 'hurt' Ryo if he ever saw it from yamapilovergyal.

And many, many 'Poor Ryo' and 'Johnny's should sue' than it's worth counting.

Oh NEWS fandom, try as you may, but you'll never be as insane as Super Juior. Never.

But keep trying. It's hilarious.

Super Junior fandom is balanced upon a gleaming pedestal consisting of the purest fangirl batshittery. *Most* fandoms, let alone those in k-pop and j-pop, can't scale its dizzying heights of wank...

But their attempts make for much amusement in the absence Super Junior wank, so yes, please keep trying :D

I know, right? Boy band members are extremely manly and heterosexual-seeming, and Japanese ones are especially so.

I'm surprised someone brought this over here from Wank Report. When I first read it, I thought, "Well, promising, but...no, not wanky enough." Let's face it, J-Pop and K-Pop have set some very, very high standards here. Compared to GacktIsGod and the Super Juror Junior crazies, this stuff is dull.

Plus, only seven pages? Imagine the sheer quantity of wank if a German magazine put up a picture of, oh, Jared Padelecki with the same text. They'd get to seven pages within the first thirty seconds. That's how a batshit fandom is supposed to behave.

But, hey, we're Fandom Wank. If we can't forgive slight lapses in quality control when it comes to posting wank, who can?

No, it's not an issue of (comparatively) big wanks in small fandoms. They've been Fandom Wank's nom-nom of choice for years in between the gorgings at the Big Boy Buffet. If I can analogize to college football for a moment (hey, I have a penis; such analogies come naturally to those of us with one), this wank is tonight's Ball State/Western Michigan game. It's a game between two great teams, one of whom has received a lot of national recognition this year, but it's not going to get a tenth of the attention that Texas Tech/Oklahoma on Saturday will get. It's probably going to be a great game, as this may turn out to be a great wank. If this wank can introduce newer FW people to the sheer wankiness of J-Pop fandom, it's done its job.

My main point about the weakness of this wank, though, was my first statement (which is why it came first). Previous wank performance in this fandom has ratcheted expectations of present and future wank. To continue the analogy to college football, this wank is Appalachian State. GacktIsGod and the K-Pop wanks are ApState beating Michigan last year. This wank is ApState turning in a rather disappointing performance against LSU this year.

tl;dr: Size of fandom does not equate to epicness of wank. But when a fandom, regardless of size, has come through with truly epic wank in the past, expectations are increased for other wank in that fandom, and something as comparatively inconsequential as this can be seen as disappointing.

While some of these comments are a bit funny, they're not wanky enough imo.

Still, gay or not it doesn't change the fact that I'll always remember Ryo Nishikido as the bloke that used to beat up his girlfriend in a Japanese drama until his character killed himself. That image is too well ingrained into my mind to fully get that out of my head.

Oh sweet. Made it just in time for JE wank.

If only I had scans of the picbook I got of Tackey and Tsubasa in Hawaii when I picked up the Twenty-Two album, just for the "Lady" crossdressing section that made my friends twitch. I love you guys, but THAT DID NOT HELP. :)

Some day I'll find out whether or not Japan thinks they're gay too.
I mean, LOOK AT MATSUJUN. I'm totally convinced he's been trying to make Japan admit he's gay since Kitto Daijoubu and Japan adamantly refuses.

Matsujun: OK, OK. Dancing over rainbows, wearing feathers and glittery suits, being touchy-feely with my bandmates, rumours of me collecting jewelry and accesories, having perfect hair... WHICH STEREOTYPES I'M MISSING?
...
Sho, I think I need your help.
Sho: I've already told you we're not making a show about gay sex.
Matsujun: Someone should tell Nino then.

I LOVE JE Wank (or any asian pop wank)
Seriously. The fans are crazy. Not as crazy as the Twilight and Supernatural fans but still. Anyways, I'm an Arashi fan. Yes. I admit it.

I think the one thing that always gets to me about some of these girls is their passionate denial that any of the boys might be gay. It's not that crazy an idea ladies. Mind you, same goes for girls who INSIST the boys are gay. Come on now, unless they told you personally you wouldn't know!

I love the girl who said that someone could get HURT by that article. SERIOUSLY??
