Accountability in Music • Page 184

Some stuff came out about Cherry Pools. Not necessarily abuse/rape, but still has a really manipulative vibe and the thread is worth a read.

 

Yeah this keeps coming on my Christmas playlist and I cringe each time, I'm sort of embarrassed by it now.

 

I don’t recall this ever being posted, but good riddence!

Dahvie Vanity — Dahvie Vanity is broke, homeless and alone after his fiancee cheats and gives him the boot - The Dirty

 

Okay the dude sucks but this article reads like it was written by a bitter 12-year-old who frequently comments on YouTube

 

Matty with the bad take

 

“The reason misogyny doesn’t happen in rock n roll anymore.”

Ok.

 

Yeah I was with him for the first sentence but then everything immediately went hard yikes.

 

Really ignorant answer to that question. Eye roll.

 

He is chock-full of them. just when I finally started to move on from those awful sexist interviewer quotes he had a while back lol. I guess it's not surprising though because men are not the smartest. I know this is a very simplified generalization but I am tired so I'm going with it

 

I don’t really follow them so I just looked up that interview thing and wow.

 

It being in gif form certainly didn’t make him seem less terrible.

 

plus his Islamophobia
Matty Healy of the 1975 talks shit on twitter, then flounces
I still feel petty that I have a hard time getting into his music because of it, mainly because I know he's a lot of y'alls faves

 

I definitely feel like I'm kind of nitpicking and dogpiling on for a sec, but I also feel like it's kind of sus that he mentions the Harry styles fan account like a Harry styles fan wouldn't have an accurate perception of this or not be informed on issues? Since Harry fans are known for being teenage girls like teenage girls aren't undermined enough? I don't know maybe I'm reaching so I should probably go to bed and stop cluttering threads with my rambling this is terrible

 

I am not disagreeing, but it’s stiolcbad that he is sliding into girls DMs not only so quickly after finding out his ex cheated on him but just in general. What a trash bag. How did his ex even survive with him for two years?

 

Edit: forget it

 

words matter, i know that's already been talked about in this thread. this is a recent interview. it's relevant. i love the 1975 and i like matty fine but when he perpetuates the racist myth that hip hop is more misogynistic than rock, he should be held accountable for that.

no one said anyone is supposed to do anything, you make your own decisions, we've been over that, too. you can hold someone accountable for their dumb shit without canceling them.

 

not getting into this, can’t handle it right now

 

How are people allowed to say things like this on this website, let alone in this thread? Because you’re tired? I’m sincerely baffled.

 

This is an inoffensive comment, if you take it personally, that's on you.

 

We're talking about men and sexism, I think saying men are not the smartest in this context is a real gentle way of putting it, actually

 

Those are both ridiculous copout statements, but there’s plenty of hypocrisy running rampant through this board, so it’s easier to just ignore it than make a statement in fear of getting shunned or banned.

 

Hey buddy why don't you tell us how you really feel over in the pol thread one of these days instead of hiding your shit opinions about sexism and race baiting in other threads. Coward

 

You’re not worth getting into about this because you purposefully ignore things I say to make yourself feel better.

 

Based on the context of this conversation her comment is spot on. What Matty said is a pretty fucking dumb thing to say. In a broader generalization, men are not very smart about the way they treat women.

It’s silly that you’re taking offense to that.

 

Yeah, that Matty guy sounds like a stupid asshole, but taking the actions and statements of one person and applying them to a whole gender seems overly simplified and counterintuitive to me. I'd feel the same way if someone said something similar about any gender, or race, or whatever else.
