Don't Hate the Player, Hate the Game.

That was a cool video, but the buffering is pretty stupid. I mean here I am trying to watch these cute girls and it keeps freezing because it won't buffer like it should, which is freaking crappy. But overall, nice video.

4playerjapancast.com?

love all ur jap vids

Seriously David needs a japancast site just for this stuff.

He has one, but he wanted to get a point across here too, not just post a video.

Oh man, this makes me want more japancast

Ain't got no hate for David!

I'll give you this ... that song is catchy as hell.

While I can understand you really enjoy the things you show David, I don't understand why you wouldn't just broadcast it on Japancast instead. Clearly the majority would be in your favor versus trying to find a fan base amongst the sea of viewers that often flock to 4PP's channel.

I also don't understand how this blog post helps your cause. I'd say majority of those who complain in chat probably wouldn't visit the site let alone read this post or watch the video you've provided. If this is supposed to be for the "haters", I don't think you'll find any of them here.

David, I respect your appreciation of these videos and the culture in general but it's honestly hard to get behind your cause when you do things this way. You can't aggressively force someone to like something. But of course in the end you are the one with final say on what will be shown on 4PP broadcasts. All I'm saying is it shouldn't come as a surprise to you that people will "hate" on it at this point and you shouldn't let it bother you.

With that said I have no issues with what 4PP broadcasts. Still if I did, there's always the mute button and closing tabs/windows. I wish the "haters" would exercise use of them more often. :D

You make good and valid points, Modest.

But how about posting on this blog makes me happy. The fact that if I want to post a cute Japanese girl video, I can. When people whine and say they don't want me to do it, I'll go and do it more.

I always want to feel that I can post or talk about things I enjoy. Cause it's me. Cause I find them funny. Cause there's someone out there who will read it and feel the same way. When there's a day that I feel like I can't do that anymore, that's the day I'll quit 4PP.

I understand your point about not being surprised when the internet starts acting like idiots. Especially when I'm playing something like Jpop in a "video game " channel. Should I have to go to another room to broadcast Japanese videos? Sometimes I just don't feel like switching over to play a couple videos. I don't ever want to feel like I have to be segregated into another room because I like something different, Like I'm only allowed to broadcast from Japancast.

So that's why I do it. That's why I made this post. That's why I'll continue to do it.

To fight the man!

So..you enjoy forcing japanese culture down my throat?

What if I went into japan waving my American flags and talking about how hot white blond women are so much sexier than these japanese girls and playing some generic country music?

Would they like it? No, but hey who cares, I have no respect for them and don't care if its insulting and ill continue to do it because simply I don't care about their feelings

To put it simply you're pretty insensitive and selfish.

You also have to look at how this site has been getting more "professional," you can say, and that posting these things on the main site makes it seem not very credible and amateur.

David, I completely understand where you're coming from. You have every right to post what you want and talk about what you please. This is your blog and 4PP is your baby after all. I remember when you decided to deviate from posting Japanese culture-related content on the blog because people kept complaining. It was really unfortunate. You along with the rest of 4PP do a lot and should be respected for those accomplishments. It should allow you some leeway to indulge in subjects outside of videogames. However as you know, this is the Internet.

I definitely respect your points David, but you can never really satisfy everyone... especially on the Internet. It's a catch 22. However, it sounds like you're adamant about sharing your love for the culture with others and there's no wrong in that. But there's something to be said when every time I see Jpop begin playing on the 4PP stream my first thought is "Here come the complaints and purges." As I said in my first comment, when you become increasingly aggressive with the content I think that's pushing it. It's not so much that you're playing these videos in the first place it's just the vicious cycle of one side annoying the other out of spite that becomes tiresome.

I hope it never gets to the point where a member of 4PP leaves because he feels like he can't enjoy himself but at the same time it's not fair to the community because neither side will let down. Maybe a compromise is needed. I know it's a hassle but at least in Japancast people really have no reason to feel duped or dissatisfied. At least then you know people are there for the material and share in your appreciation. Again, in the end 4PP is yours and that means you can do what you please. I just personally don't think this thing between you and the "haters" is worth your time. You shouldn't burden yourself with the need to justify your enjoyments because some kid with a laptop whines about them. At the same time though I don't think the rest of the community whether it be in chat or on the forums deserve to be caught in the crossfire.

OMGWTF IS THIS JAPANESE STUFF DOING ON A GAMING SITE!!1!!11ELEVEN

*cough*

Point Taken Modest.

I could be what you call one of those "haters". I personally do not like the type of music that you, David, sometimes play on the feed. I also, however, recognize that you are entitled to play what ever you want on the feed since it is your feed to begin with. What I want to point out that not all of the "haters" hate Japanese culture. While some people simply hate all of japanese culture (idiots), some people simply dislike the J-pop simply because they hate what J-pop represents (showmanship over music, "kawaii", etc). Phoenix117 seems to assume that all the people who complain about the J-pop are complaining about the culture; many may just be complaining about the music.

Anyways, I really dislike the atmosphere which the J-pop brings to chat. I too would like it if you restricted the J-pop to Japancast. Maybe if you did this, then the hate would go away and you would still be able to show what you love.

Finally, I would just like to introduce (maybe) Angela Aki to you; she's my favorite artist. She represents what I love about J-pop. I think you might also enjoy some of her music, David. Here are my two favorite songs:

And David, I'm glad you take the time to share your other interests with us. Just goes to show that you're not a robot. =]
