Accountability in Music • Page 925

Is this you agreeing that that's not what's happening in here? Is the constant disagreement in the room with us?

And yeah it's pretty easy to differentiate hate when people say they're not pro-Israel and they're anti-genocide, instead of saying anything even remotely close to antisemitic. Instead you and your pal are responding with "oh so you're racist?" "oh so you don't condemn Kanye then?". Do you not see how insane that is? You're making yourself into a victim because you yourself are choosing to equate the two. We're all on the same side. You're the one choosing to misconstrue words or the lack of certain words to make a problem that doesn't exist in this thread. We all know what this world is like. We're not blind to it. We have a thread about accountability. You also don't know whether whoever is making comments is Jewish or not, so stop assuming shit because I don't know those things about people either. So just chill and read the room.

 

so are you saying you don’t condemn Zionists?

 

man what happened here

 

Still a groomer

 

I'm not defending Jay-z dating a young Beyonce, but do you ever think about how many married couples our parents ages did the exact same thing? I try not to, times were... different, but whoof

 

I was listening to Pharrell’s album and it has a song called “Young Girl,” all about falling in love with a young girl featuring a verse by Jay-Z and it’s just yeeeeesh. This was so normalized.

 

rock and rap were rampant with songs like that, either explicitly or slightly more sly, there's been more than a few times where I'm listening to something from the 80s or 90s, probably 00s, and I quickly side eye something I never noticed before

 

Oh for sure. Tough to truly love Weezer’s Pinkerton with some of those lyrics!

 

I haven't been following this too closely as I'm not a huge Amity guy, but from what I've seen reported over the past few months, it appears as if Ahren's mental health has gone off a cliff and rather than seek help, he's progressively lost his grip on reality and the band have been collateral damage.

 

One of the worst people ever is back tweeting tonight

 

There’s too many options.

 

Hey, I have a name!

 

That’s so true

Kanye is who I’m talking about

 

That was my first guess, but couldn’t be certain. And I’m not going on there to look. Thanks. I’ll wait for someone to screen shot or something.

 

So the assumption is Ahren did something to someone? Otherwise, why would it be posted in this thread?

 

So true

 

ahren has completely unraveled and lost himself to the depths of addiction, and is taking it out on the band unfortunately yeah. hes been hurling a lot of nasty shit including insinuating that joel is stealing from the band. from what i can gather this is very much a mark o'connell situation where the band tried to handle everything as privately as possible out of his respect until he himself made it impossible for them to keep doing that

 

started it mid week and holy shit you're not wrong.
