Accountability in Music • Page 44

i guess that's why they randomly dropped off their US tour 2 days ago

 

On the plus side, UK Pop Punk has been surprisingly universal in condemning him.

Such a shame. Hope the victim is okay.

I loved their album and thought they would be big. Would be surprised if they are still a band in a month or two now.

 

Who is adam22?

 

Damn, I thought I recognized that name from B9. Fun fact, Cassandra Fairbanks also came from there and is often viewed as a complete joke within that site.

 

Infamous B9 poster

 

(what is B9.)

I tried to look this guy up and that original blog is still live. How anyone could ever side with him on anything is beyond the pale, he describes totally criminal and horrifying actions in his own words. Filth.

 

The B9 is the messageboard for Bridge Nine Records.

 

Ah ok. Don’t think I’ve ever heard of it but the forum gave me a fake Amazon popup after a few seconds so I guess I’m fine with that.

 

It’s rather infamous in hardcore circles, it was a wild place in its heyday. Now, it’s basically dying out.

 

Hypothetical question: let's say a band has one isolated allegation and the accuser comes out and apologizes for making it up. Would we be able to accept that band back into the scene, or would they still be condemned by the assumption that the allegation was rescinded because the accuser was sick of the backlash?

 

*everywhere

FIFY

 

Though I don’t like bringing up this case in these conversations because it is certainly the exception... this actually happened with Conor Oberst, and I feel like he has been accepted back into the scene by most

 

There's your problem

 

you always seem to ride on the very very fine line of supporting the abuser. just a heads up. you're always on the "but, what if" train. i see this regularly from you. just be careful with what you say

 

Seriously, how is Jared Leto still a thing? People have been very open about his behavior for years. But I feel like anytime someone brings it up its ignored (not just here).

 

I notice this a lot on other forums/reddit more than this one but this is a very important point.

 

What happened?

 

Same for Pete Wentz, tbh

 

Words can’t express how much I want him fired into the sun.

 

I found out a former AP staffer was super gross with one of my best friends when she was 16 and he was 22. Why is this stuff so commonplace in every community?

 

*pretends to be shocked*

 

Wonder who that could’ve been

 

I don’t think he does writing or reviews here anymore, but he was recently on the podcast.

 

Is there anyone that doesn't know about him now? It's weird that it literally seems to be totally ignored.
