GACKT Official Twitter update. Translation below
There are very few people who can withstand attacks and slander on the internet.
In fact, even I don’t feel good at all.
There are times when I just get angry.
However, acts of hate that are protected by anonymity are a type of addiction, just like drug or alcohol addiction.
A mental state where you can’t live without hating someone and a pleasure in slandering someone.
Victims who suffer from this can’t help but feel like they’ve been involved in an accident caused by an alcoholic driving while intoxicated.
Hate is a disease that has become a worldwide problem, and just like bullying, it is impossible to eradicate it.
However, it is nonsense to think that hate will lower your performance or dampen your motivation.
Considering that,
Rather than living according to someone else,
It’s better to live your life by doing what you love to the best of your ability.
No matter what you say, in the end you’ll be able to laugh and say, “This is what I wanted to do,” right?
ネットでの攻撃や誹謗中傷に耐えられる人はほとんどいないだろうな。
実際にこのボクでさえ、決して気分のいいものじゃないし。
どうしても腹が立つ時もある。
ただ、匿名性に守られた状態でのヘイト行為は麻薬やアルコール依存と同じ、依存症の一種なんだよ。…
