Passed away a week ago, due to subdural hematoma... It's about as random and sudden as it can get.


Fuck, man.


It should be no secret that this man has had a huge influence on my life, who I am today, since it was he who popularized the type of over-the-top action that so many of us use today and the type of super transformation that left so many of us in awe with the advent of the Super Saiyan. Without his huge influence, I doubt a lot of things in both the gaming and entertainment sectors would exist today including Super Sonic. And without Super Sonic, well, yeah, you would not see me here today obsessing with the idea of a super form for Klonoa (as much as certain people in the community wish it to be).


None of what I do now would've happened without this legendary creator. =/


R.I.P. Toriyama. I hope you have a good afterlife on the other side.

Uh, yeah, I've been urged to do this by some of my friends in light of how shitty the Klonoa Mega Chat has been run as of late, so... -shrug-


Lux Klonoa's Lounge, a Klonoa server for adults that I've been running for a while now. Must be 18+ to join.

Yeah, can't say I expected this. Especially after it already got updated for the second time in GT7.


Same arrangement as in the one in GT7, but with better reworked instrumentation and drums, plus clearer vocals from Jon Underdown. In a way, it kinda sounds more heroic now. Fitting, then, since I use this song as the theme of Lux Klonoa and Super Rainbow Dash.

So...

Remember a few months ago where someone came into my server and said they were wrongfully banned from the Klonoa Mega Chat due to a case of mistaken identity where they thought it was me? And that the dude continued to share screenshots of them reacting negatively to my stuff?


Well, in one of those screenshots, someone was wondering aloud about me and why I do this whole "unclothed Klonoa" thing that makes me so infamous with some people. Today, I'd like to address it, just to set the record and to set... expectations, basically. I'll quote some of it here.


"His art is so good. It's a shame he has to be like... that." (Referring to the nature of Klonoa being unclothed as well as the whole stripping thing.) [....] "I do have to say if LK regrets contributing to drama and cringe or w/e, why doesn't he start drawing Klonoa wearing his fucking clothes lmao? Is it a fetish or something?"


...I can tell this guy hasn't gone through my commissions thoroughly, 'cause that's what they are: commissions. I'm not an artist myself, as I don't draw. But anyway...


Contributing to... cringe? That's honestly not my fault. If people aren't used to Klonoa wearing nothing like a Sonic character, then that's on them and not me. I cannot change people's opinions, at least not by force. I learned that the hard way back in 2008. But hey, you know, people can also try to get used to it if they want to, instead of complaining about it in some chat server that they think no one else can see... *shrug*


But contributing to drama is something I do regret a lot, as I did cause some of it over Lux Klo. Honestly, if I could go back in time and prevent all of it, I would. But that wouldn't stop other people from trying to pick a bone with me just 'cause they don't like Klonoa not wearing pants or being unoriginal. And besides, some of the other drama I've caused were due to me having problems with other people in the fandom (such as being a bitch that blocks you out of nowhere after being friends for a whlle or being an abusive admin). And until such people apologize to me or realize they were being assholes about it, I don't regret causing those and speaking out about it. =/


As for clothing Klonoa up permanently.... well, that would make me like any other Klonoa fan, wouldn't it? I'm sorry, but that's not who I am, especially as someone who grew up with unclothed cartoon animals in the first place... Hell, I probably was an unclothed sentient animal myself in a past life if you believe that shit (especially since I actually don't like wearing shirts irl). So, to clothe Klonoa for good would betray myself, my preferences, and people who actually like/love such an idea. And if people don't want to respect that, then that's their problem, not mine.


And as for whether it's a fetish or not, you can dig into my old journals for that. I'll also say this in addition.


Klonoa constantly taking his clothes off is, honestly, harmless, as long as he isn't doing anything explicit (well, other than doing hot poses, that is. I can understand that) and as long as he doesn't have explicit stuff hanging out. It is completely SFW. And anyone thinking otherwise is, quite frankly, a fucking idiot.

Man.

The Internet can be cruel. Harsh. Quick to judge. And unnecessarily assholish... Some of which I'm guilty of being myself in the past in the Klonoa community.


But that's what I've been observing these past few days on X, formerly known as Twitter, regarding a certain YouTuber who is now the English voice of a SEGA icon.


Yeah, for those of you who don't know, gaming news YouTuber YongYea (who's also a fellow Korean like myself, btw) got into voice acting four years ago and now not only he is the dub voice of JoJo antagonist Enrico Pucci, he is also the dub voice of Like a Dragon (formerly Yakuza) protagonist Kazuma Kiryu. Some clips of his voice came out and... yeah, a bunch of assholes are lighting his X/Twitter account up on fire, harassing him on every tweet he makes, Yakuza-related or not. Most of the harassment isn't exactly constructive criticism either, ranging from "you suck" to "you are cringe, keep being an outrage merchant on YouTube." He does block them, though, but even the harassers are taking advantage of that, asking him to block them.


I mean, from what I've heard of the clips, Yong's Kiryu does not sound that bad. Even sounds like Darryl Kurylo, the previous dub VA, in some spots. Granted, I'll have to play the game first to judge for myself, but still... *shrug*


It's kinda depressing to read such comments, really... It makes me all the more apprehensive of people, should a certain dream/wish of mine be realized. =/
