Because this issue seems to pop up ever so often, whether it’s meant to be a joke or not, people need to learn what the word ‘racist’ means.

People have accused Gackt of being racist, confusing it with pride in his race & culture. Saying that he wants young Japanese people to know Bushido & more about their culture is not racist, it’s taking pride in who he is as a Japanese person. Quoting him about saying the water & air in Japan is different than other parts of the world is not racist. Everyone knows that Gackt says ridiculous things sometimes, but find an interview somewhere that he says the Japanese are the greatest people to ever exist & are better than the rest of the world— then you can bring up a more valid case, but he hasn’t. He takes pride in who he is, he respects other people & has said he has friends all over the world in different countries, of other races, stop stop pulling nonsense out of your ass.

Also, ‘joking’ & accusing him of being racist because you don’t get your way is just asinine. Because he doesn’t answer your shout out on twitter or your e-mail, that does not make him racist. Stop pulling out the race card for stupid ass reasons.

I’m guessing this is in reference to whoever posted about “gackt never answers tweets from latin america HE MUST HATE US”

Partly. The post definitely brought back that fact he was ‘racist’. I’ve been seeing people accusing him of being racist since 2007 for the reasons I pointed out in the paragraph.
