What is with the world?

Ok. So I'm actually here to release a bit of my frustration. So.. Several things happened recently and I'm not happy about them one bit.

1.

EXO song leaks. I keep hearing news about EXO's new album song leaks. Why? Why have there been so many leaks? I don't get it. The title song, Wolf was leaked a long time ago. I don't know how these leaks happens or why they do but what pisses me off is that there are people who go around spreading these leaked songs. EXO has worked extremely hard for this comeback, as has every other group for their own comebacks. Leaks of their songs or music videos would put all that hard work to waste. Perhaps, we cannot stop these leaks, but please, don't spread the links around. Respect EXO for all the hard work they have put into this album and be decent enough to wait for the actual release date to hear the song or watch the MV. 

2.

Donkatsu. I think, many of you who read TaeNy stories would probably have heard of Donkatsu. She's a brilliant TaeNy author and I encourage everyone to read her works. (I will link her wordpress at the end) However, something to note is that she wasn't always known as Donkatsu. She was once a Moderator on Soshified, an author and she also did wallpapers for people. All in all, she was very talented (my opinion). I am not sure exactly what happened back then, but I do know that she left SSF due to reasons regarding her privacy. She changed her name to Donkatsu and re-uploaded most of her fanfics there. There are some stories which have yet to be uploaded,as she is still editing them. (one example is temptation)

What irks me, is something that happened just the day before. Someone uploaded some of her stories, including Temptation which had yet to be posted. Donkatsu has already made all her works publicly available. She charges no one for it and gains nothing from it. I think this is a very good deal. We don't have to pay a cent and it's readily available in pdfs and epubs for everyone to read. So why, must someone re-upload her stories, send her the link of it via twitter and taunt her by using her old username? I honestly do not understand what this person aims to gain from that. Re-uploading what was not theirs, without permission and using her old username. I am pissed because I am a reader of her stories and I really love them. So yesterday, when she suddenly privatised her wordpress, I was shocked. There were so many good stories on there which I had yet to read.

Donkatsu has re-opened her blog today. However, it is no longer the same. All downloadables are now protected with passwords and her twitter is no longer a social account. 


All these happened on top of all my personal problems and adding the exam stress, I just needed somewhere to vent. I also would like to take this opportunity to let people know that the one word that all these stories boil down to, is the very same word that everyone should learn. RESPECT. That is of utmost importance. EXO, Donkatsu, anyone else out there, they put in a lot of hardwork into whatever it is they did. To leak their songs, re-upload their materials, this is NOT respect. People need to learn how to respect other people's works and also their privacy. 

Yesterday, I continually asked my friends, why are there idiots in the world. They said that the world needed idiots to classify the non-idiots. That's true.. I guess. But really. They need to keep their idiocy to themselves. Don't hurt others by their stupidity. Like I said, I don't know what people gain by doing this, but I really hope it stops. Because of this few people, many others get affected, not just the person at the source of the problem. 

To sum it up, I THINK IT'S TIME THE WORLD LEARNED SOME RESPECT. 

And I'm sorry for the rant.

Edit: I forgot to add the blog link in.
