@candyj3llylove@cutesyaoiha@poisionberriez ok but im talking about the statement as it is right now
i doubt they changed it because it wasn't legitimate, as far as i know it was rushed in response to a magazine column and they probably changed it after seeking legal action with a pro advising them on what to write
@midoriamayo@poisionberriez its a screenshot from tiktok that says "any allegations or controversies" which is very broad lol, it's not like his name has been written in the death note for his evil sins
i don't put musicians on a pedestal to worship, we are all equal
@Hjhjuiop@Uruhas_wine the official statement more or less confirms it, there was a lot of people also talking about this on the japanese side of the internet too
@cutesyaoiha@poisionberriez with mustaine there was very unfortunate evidence though LOL
i remember the whole thing when CJ got kicked out of lorna shore, still no clue if the allegations were false or not
also when luca was fired from mental cruelty, the evidence was very weak but it was too late
@cutesyaoiha@poisionberriez yeah that's true, people have an easier time believing that an ugly white metal guy is guilty when he gets fired too lol
the account that posted those photos is basically dedicated to catching musicians having a relationship
@cutesyaoiha@poisionberriez also thanks for replying and discussing it, this situation sucks because many people on here can't speak japanese and are used to western approaches to writing a statement etc, and i can't tell people to look it up in japanese because then they might find info they shouldn't know
@cutesyaoiha@poisionberriez i can't really prove this one because i don't want to give people ammo to discuss his cause of death tho
at the end of the day we just gotta separate the music from the guy for peace of mind, its japan so discussions like this will never be black and white & facts never explict
@cutesyaoiha@poisionberriez i saw it from lots of different sources - individuals on twitter, random news sites, tanuki💀
i never saw the original magazine column the gazette responded to tho
of course take it with a grain of salt, but yeah enough people are saying the same thing at different times
@cutesyaoiha@poisionberriez again it's not explicit but on the japanese side of the internet people were talking about this before the statement & enough people were saying the same thing for me to think it has some credibility
@cutesyaoiha@poisionberriez "Furthermore, information that differed from the facts was communicated externally without our agreement, and even important matters related to a deceased member were handled in ways we found deeply inappropriate."
this is from the official statement
