Accountability in Music [ARCHIVED] • Page 365

that guy seems like a gaint tool just from his twitter alone. reminds me of a couple ppl i know unfortunately

 

Alt Press continues to be a trash outlet that gives these people platforms rather than holds them accountable for their actions/accusations.

 

I haven't seen an issue in years but I assume he's on the cover every other month

 

Alt Press is basically the Warped Tour of the Internet.

 

Warped and Alt Press are hand in hand with each other in terms of behavior, which is probably one reason both went downhill from their former points of glory.

 

They’ve definitely kissed Jonny’s shoes a lot in the past, ditto Craig Owens

 

Thats a nice... start?

 

I know this is the least important thing but of course he has Post Malone face tats now

 

Lmao y’all remember “no more silence AP” that ran for all of half a day before they put Ronnie Radke back on the cover

 

Never forget.

 

I love Vince Staples

 

I'm definitely not in the loop on Craig Owens - what has he been involved in?

 

He’s a scumbag that’s been hitting on and soliciting underage girls for over a decade.

 

It's worth noting that all of this Jonny Craig shit came out in the immediate aftermath of his announcement of becoming a father, which absolutely horrifying.

Also he's releasing a song about the situation, and named it after one of Taylor's tattoos which is vindictive as shit. Fucking trash.

 

When you present a headline without any context it automatically makes assumptions. People just read headlines, will read that and only get his side of the story - when it's entirely bullshit.

 

WATCH: Disturbing Lia Marie Johnson Livestream Video Worries Fans | Heavy.com

Ugh, this situation is incredibly sad. Lia Marie Johnson (known from Teens React) went live on Instagram early yesterday morning from a recording studio. She’s visibly wasted and being taking advantage of by her producer, Steven Weatherbee — once he realizes she’s recording, he takes her phone. Later, she comes back online and he is seen begging her to stop recording. Her concerned fans sent the cops to her house but she seems to be lashing back out at them to mind their own business. He enters around 10:00 in the top video — nothing is really shown on screen but it’s still gut wrenching to watch the comments take a turn.

Steven Weatherbee is a music producer and photographer that works with children.

 

What would a more appropriate headline be for the non-journalism folks?

 

I don't have experience or a degree in journalism. It takes only another line or two to include context for the story, though.

 

one that indicates that Jonny Craig has a history as an abusive piece of shit, has scammed his fans and is a credibly accused rapist by multiple women

 

Yeah, this.

 

So something like this?

Amidst multiple rape and abuse accusations, Jonny Craig called his rape accusers “fucking liars,” and threatened legal action during a livestream.

 

you don’t have to cover what this ghoul spouted on a livestream my god

 

god forbid Alt Press take a stance on something

 

That isn't clearly a stance that says "we don't give a shit" by continuing to cover the worst in the scene
