Accountability in Music • Page 849

This really feels like something that got the Streisand Effect from Jack Black's original message. Despite one right-wing Australian politician threatening to "deport them," I think they easily could have issued an apology and just continued touring. Instead, JB is gonna have to answer hundreds of questions of if him and KG are okay while promoting that terrible "Borderlands" movie.

Also, kind of sad to see some KG's recent posts on IG.

 

This definitely only blew up because JB is a coward and made it a whole thing. KG would’ve gotten shit from the nuts for a bit but the majority of people wouldn’t have given a shit and it would be forgotten about like every other “controversy”. There was no reason for it to play out like this.

 

Jack Black sucked in The Mandalorian

 

also having sympathy for the dude that's actively trying to take away your rights is crazy

 

About 8-9 years ago I was walking in O'Hare Airport to my gate and heard "Jesus Christ" coming out of one of the bars. At the time I thought it was super cool.

Well, you have people from one side who feel bad when they say something that hurts other people and you have one side that enjoys hurting people with their words.

If you justify yourself saying that the other side did it first then you are lowering yourself to their level.

 

excited for chorus.fm to finally hold joe biden and donald trump accountable

 

It's almost like when inciting violence as a main part of your platform, you're setting yourself up for violent things to happen. If joe had been shot by a Democrat trump would be joking how Dems hate Joe so much even his own party tried to kill him.

If people don't wanna make jokes or whatever about violence that is fine but the pearl clutching is weird. Some think if they go high it'll win over the extremists eventually, but it won't. They will always operate in a different reality and keep moving the goal posts.

Also it prob sucks to have such a long term friend drop you (at least publicly) over something like that. Felt the same when Anderson Cooper dropped Kathy griffin. Loser behavior.

 

I think we’re forgetting that not missing Donald Trump also results in the firefighter not dying.

Yes, the firefighter also turned out to be a terrible person who wished harm on others, but still.

 

to whoever was asking about Melanie Martinez

 

I’m sure the Melanie Martinez fanbase will have an extremely reasonable and not at all toxic reaction to this

 

As a Beach Bunny fan, who has supported them for years now, it was really disappointing seeing them go on tour with Melanie, especially since they dropped off a different tour they were set to open previously (Panic! At The Disco) due to allegations.

 

Did she file a civil suit? It sucks but I’m not sure what else she’s thinking is going to come from airing these allegations again. The fanbase is obviously going to attack her again.


It’s fucked up and Melanie is trash but I don’t know what her end game is here, the fans just don’t care.

 

If anything it's nice she responded to the misconceptions. I've seen one or two posts on here wanting to know what came of the allegations so it's nice to hear a response to the fans' dismissal of the allegations

 

Idk if this is the best place to ask but what happened with the allegations against Soul Blind? I saw a reddit post about the original accusations but I don't see anything about what came after.

 

singer of kublai khan

 

That dude has been obviously maga for a bit now imo

 

Is the OP (JOHNNY_TSUNAMI_88) part of the hardcore scene? I saw that post in the Hardcore subreddit but could not figure out what their relation was to the hardcore scene or music in general.

 

Texas is as Texas does

 

All the ladies working Iowa-80 are gonna be so disappointed.

 

List of bands/brands working with Dixxon Flannel: Rancid, Punk Rock Museum, Meshuggah, Wisdom In Chains, Fortunate Youth, Cro-Mags, Slightly Stoopid, Punk Rock Bowling, The Bronx, Cypress Hill, Zac Brown Band, Suicidal Tendencies, Fit For An Autopsy, Guns N Roses, Hatebreed, Megadeth, Authority Zero.

I'm sure I missed a few. There's a LOT.

 

The 88 is super suspect. The whole thing is bizarre because that band has songs that are pro-immigration, pro-women, and anti-cop, so...mixed messaging lol
