If the bar for infallibility is simply “don’t hang out with Nazis” then it’s pretty fucked up that Skiba fails to meet it, right?

 

It’s a traumatic/potentially triggering incident and I figured some people may not be comfortable coming into this thread and reading that with no warning!

 

I like Dan.

 

Alright, that’s a little strange to me personally but I understand where you’re coming from.

 

Dan has the best solo tracks

 

The only thing I remember is the shirt thing where he did the generic "Thanks for your putting your life on the line!" nonsense. I know he's done a lot of "first responder" stuff for cops and firefighters in the past, but, again...context is key. 2019 or whatever year that shirt thing was is not a time to be buddying up the Chicago PD considering well *gestures wildly* everything. Dude just has a teenagers mentality at times and it was fun/funny decades ago but now he's gotta be pushing like 45-50 soon, time to learn to read a room dude.

 

Dan also allowed a Nazi to be on his band’s record fyi

 

Exactly, he needs to learn to read the room. When the Black Lives Matter protests were happening last year he made a post days after they were all over the news about how he had no idea that any of it was going on. It came across as pretty ignorant to me.

 

Bullies

 

If a popular pop-punk band released a new album featuring Ted Bundy on it that would absolutely be a terrible look. What an absolutely dumb post. However, y’all would go through hoops to say Matt isn’t a serial killer so it’s okay.

 

They did quote Susan Atkins court testimony on a song lol

 

You know what, I’ll just lay it out. A bunch of you are toxic ass people, you go out and gang up on people and then gaslight, there are numerous people who’ve left because of this. You want some accountability, how about working on your own toxic ass behavior first? Like straight up, I know who I am and I know what I’ve done, feel free to gang up on me like I know you will. But I’m not the problem here and the fact that I have people messaging me talking about you and your bullshit is proof in the pudding about what’s really going on.

 

Sorry if you’re going to bat for a dude that pals around with Nazis, you’re the problem. Play the victim all you want, fill your diaper, cry your fake ass crocodile tears, at the end of the day, you’re the problem. “Toxic” is minimizing what Skiba has done just to feel better about yourself for listening to his music. That’s the kind of shit that defines “toxic”. Trying to make the people who are saying “hey maybe having a Nazi on your album isn't great” out to be the bad guys isn’t the principled stance you think it is. But I guess every villain thinks they’re the hero of their own story at the end of the day.

 

See, right there, dude, thanks for proving my point

 

Also was wondering how long we’d have to wait before someone brought up the classic “people in my messages” bit lmao

 

You’re part of the problem, you’re a toxic presence on this website and what you’re doing in this thread is actively making this site worse. Congrats!

 

Telling people they should “get therapy” is toxic af btw

 

I’m not the one getting my buddies to go gang up on people and run them out, fuck you. You are no better and again, the fact that people are telling me about YOU and YOUR bullshit says a fucking lot.

 

You literally go out of your way to be shitty, how do you not see that?

 

Idk what you’re talking about re: “getting my buddies” to do anything. What, you think I’m like messaging people and asking them to come in here? To this shitshow? Lol.

Also the kind of people complaining about what I’m saying in this thread are really not the kinds of people you want to brag are coming to you for support btw

 

It’s not this thread, it’s how you act in general. You and the rest literally drag this site down and people literally do not want to deal with you so they leave. Let me reiterate that, you are so toxic that YOU MAKE PEOPLE LEAVE AND THEY SINGLE YOU OUT AS A CAUSE. That’s not a coincidence, you are a sole cause for people leaving.

 

you’re literally going to bat for a dude who is friends with a Nazi, stop trying to high road me you don’t have the standing to high road anyone right now lol

 

Love how now it’s about me instead of the dude who had a Nazi do spoken word on the song I Found Away and has never addressed it. Classic.

But yeah I’m the toxic one. I’m the “bully”.

 

All because these children can’t handle someone criticizing their favs. The fragility is astounding.
