Accountability in Music • Page 719

i have no idea what that post is supposed to mean or say

 

I like the expression "dialogue slut" though. Nice choice.

 

who is this person

 

Wikipedia indicates she's a musician from Omaha, Nebraska.

I guess that's also information you can piece together from the post, but nevertheless.

 

i'm sure there are lots of musicians in omaha, nebraska. who is this person and how is this an accountability thing

 

It was just a post from a musician there talking about how white men in the scene dominating the culture and opening up a dialogue about how that is an issue for musicians who aren’t men like her.

I can delete if it’s off topic but I figured perhaps there’s folks here in Omaha who may be interested in engaging with them, and I felt this was the best place to pass along that post. (and they’re not a no name musician, they’ve been posted about before on here)

 

Seems like a valid concern but with a complete lack of details, hard to comment on or suggest solutions for

 

It's a valid observation but with Omaha being perhaps the least diverse city in the country I'd say the odds aren't great for much improvement

 

He’s doing a Hitler salute because he’s talking about Kanye who, in case you didn’t know, has stated himself to be a Nazi.

 

that's kind of a dumb way to make fun of someone tbh

 

Matty fuckin sucks

 

This isn’t going to go well. Even if he’s making fun of someone this is the wrong thing to do

 

i often do goose steps when i mock racists, i thought everyone did taht

 

nah we only hate bands that the moderators tell us to around here

 

Weird comment

 

even if you're making fun of someone you don't (as in you ABSOLUTELY FUCKING DO NOT) throw a goddamned Nazi salute on stage. fucking hell.

 

Haha just mean to say it’s just very arbitrary who gets piled on w hate while others do not

 

Green Day did the same 20 years ago. Not an excuse, but worth mentioning.

 

That was my first thought. Absolutely not an excuse and I hope this is the last time Matty does this regardless of the sentiment

 

I’m a fan but I can’t wait for this tour to be over, the longer it goes on the more he walks the line between trolling and actually harmful stuff and it’s annoying

 

I don’t personally know that I find an artist using Nazi imagery in a performance as an accountability issue, particularly when it’s mocking the Nazi ideals of one of the most famous men on the planet and his relationship with a former president

 

Not a good look when you have also followed Kyle Rittenhouse on social media

 

Follow does not equal support
