Accountability in Music • Page 113

not that there weren't good reasons before but it's about time to change this username huh...... it was never really a reference to him but does not feel good. if u have any suggestions..... lmk i guess?

 

Why did I look at the comments ...

 

I’m aware of a group of almost 20 young women who were abused by William, including one my my close, personal friends. He can lie all he wants, this is coming out and it’s being investigated. That FB post made my blood boil.

 

The line about “wishing” his life was that interesting struck me in particular.

 

it is impossible to say "hey you shouldnt be a rapist" without following it with "your ten year old band always sucked" and i question that praxis

 

This dude literally emailed my friend after she made one tweet abt her experience and threatened to sue her. Then he said she obviously misremembered their “encounter” because of “childhood trauma.” He is a creepy, shady, manipulative liar hiding behind a misogynist kink to absolve himself.

 

Oh, another fun thing William does is threaten to send his fanbase after his accusers! Maybe he and Jesse Lacey are comparing notes.

 

Man why did I click that link. The video is haunting me.

 

There’s some sources that claim the Chris Benoit murder-suicide was caused by steroid abuse, but I’m really not sure how true that can be or the effects that they can cause mentally like that.

 

Anabolic steroids when used to an extreme (or really high doses) can cause aggressive behavior. But it’s certainly not directly linked.

In Benoit’s case, he had the brain of an elderly man from his numerous concussions from wrestling. But he was also loaded up on steroids. CTE seems to be more closely linked to that tragedy.

 

Got it, thanks for the info! I was reading that steroids can cause depression with prolonged use as well, and Benoit was already on Xanax.

I still don’t get that argument because if some dude high out of his mind on meth did the same thing, I’m sure these apologists wouldn’t be defending him because he was on meth and not of sound mind at the time. That’s not really how that works.

There's a tumblr account with all of the Wil francis info going around. Can't find the link right now, but one of the text screenshots goes along the line of
"now that you broke your NDA I'm going to sue you"
"you never made me sign an NDA"
"Yeah well still...[screenshot cuts off]"

 

Here's hoping the metal community

There is a link to it in the Sputnik link a few comments above

 

i didn't link it directly cause i thought it must have gotten in here already, but here the collected Wil Francis allegations tumblr is:

https://talkaboutthesexcult.tumblr.com/
needless to say, extreme trigger warning regarding images of post-abuse, sexual violence, etc etc.

 

The Will Francis stuff is the most fucked up abuse I've ever seen... basically preying on mentally ill girls my age for extreme BDSM fantasies. I'm literally sick to my stomach thinking how the victims are the same age as my gf, my friends, classmates. Fuck. Might take a break from this thread.

 

So are they going to stop posting about Varg Vikernes and other terrible musicians too?

 

SUICIDE SILENCE Vocalist Eddie Hermida Releases Statement On Sexual Misconduct Allegations - Rock Feed
I want to bring this back. Not as a fan of that band at all, but I feel that this is a good example of an artist actually making a statement that holds them accountable. Especially considering how awful the WC statement was.

 

Doubt it.

 

This is a real post in the tour forum lmao

 

And I thought his takes in the basketball thread were bad. Jesus Christ.

 

Oh fucking course it's Cmoney. OF COURSE.

 

Hey asshole it’s my own fucking opinion and others share my opinion about him doing his time and what not. If his bands mates can forgive him after saying they wanted nothing to do with him shows huge progress and he actually changed. Has anyone actually read his apology where he admits he fucked up and knows it was wrong?????

 

Unless his family forgave him, I don’t give a shit if the band forgave him. They were never in danger and the worst that happened to them was that they had to start a new band.

 

We’ve really gone all in on “if I say it’s an opinion I can say anything at all” haven’t we? Yeeeeeeeeeikes
