Accountability in Music • Page 151

I think I was just sexually assaulted by Suicide Silence.. please help : Metalcore

 

re: Cam- I very much think that if Industry People know more than us, especially if they have concrete proof that someone is innocent or guilty, they're responsible to share that. I just don't get it. Tired of all of these people who get off on "knowing the truth," but always have some arcane reason why they can't just talk about it. When people's livelihoods are on the line or people are at risk of being victimized, speak up. This scene is like playing the most complicated game of telephone all the time. At a certain point, you have to stop caring about being the one with the most clout and caring about the people who are hurt by all of the secrecy surrounding these stories.

 

^^^^^^^^^ yuppppppppppp

 

Came here to post this. Fucked up stuff.

 

“Silence is very, very powerful. When someone they’ve worked with and are promoting to their followers turns out to be an abuser, they have a responsibility to warn the young women who follow them and not stay silent,” she said.

My feelings on everyone associated with the Brand New camp.

 

ASAP Bari Sues Sexual Assault Accuser for Defamation: Report | Pitchfork

speaking of staying silent, has anyone else in ASAP mob condemned this?

 

Rocky called him a bitch on stage but that’s about it

 

but then i found this:

ASAP Rocky Spotted Leaving FYF Fest With ASAP Bari

idk, nothing seems genuine anymore.

 

the fucking stones, to have assaulted a woman on video and turn it around on her and claim it's defamation

 

nah yeah i honestly wouldn't expect shit from rocky

 

but people still think me too has gone too far

 

Another day, another stunningly clear message to survivors that for abusers, life is an episode of whose line is it anyway: consequences are made up and nothing we say matters.

 

Of all the accusations floating around, I am consistently flabbergasted that R. Kelly hasn't had everything taken from him and rotting in jail. I would say he is by far the most high-profile abuser to have been outed in the music industry and it's so well known that it was frequently used for golden shower jokes for years. Then he had the audacity to write a fucking 20 minute song about it.

 

the r kelly thing has been such an open, well known thing for so long youd think that as the culture has been changing he'd be one of the first to be taken down but, thanks to moves like spotify reversing their hateful content policy after applying it to him, he's been able to continue his career as normal. please dont ever try and tell me accusations ruin careers

 

it's nuts that his defense strategy of simply denying guilt despite the video evidence of him with the underage girl was so brazen and infamous that it has its own Wikipedia page

.... and he was acquitted.....

 

Nicki Minaj ex-boyfriend Safaree Samuels accuses her of stabbing him

 

That's why I do my best not to engage when the "where's the proof" brigade rides anymore. There's no such thing as proof for people who are determined to pretend there's no problem. They could be IN THE ROOM and still be like "I don't know what I saw, where's the proof".

 

She actually seems to reference this on her track "Bed of Lies", and... well.

"What the fuck you really telling me? What you telling me?
I could tell you lying, get the fuck out, don't yell at me
I ain't mean to cut you, I ain't wanna catch a felony"

 

Like I mentioned I found it very telling when it first came out that Minaj was a piece of shit that rather than see people actually address the issue, all I saw was people quietly stop talking about her. Still find it amazingly gross.

 

fan punched by Social Distortion’s Mike Ness says it was over Trump comment

Tim Hildebrand of Galt, CA spoke with CBS Sacramento about the incident; according to him, he was attacked for disagreeing with Ness’s politics. Hildebrand, a Republican and Trump supporter, told CBS he was given “two black eyes, a busted lip, a concussion,” and nearly had a tooth knocked out by Ness. Hildebrand continued, “I wasn’t able to defend myself because people in the crowd were holding me back.”

According to Hildebrand, he didn’t like it when Ness “started badmouthing President Trump and America.”

 

wow a punk band named social distortion talking about POLITICS? you don't say. AND words and actions having consequences? whoaaaaa

 

All the punkers out there are like, "Hell yeah, Ness. That's what punk rock's all about!!!"

 

Why does 69 keep getting exposure

 

What’d she do? I can never keep up.
