Appreciate your response. For the record I am not in any American jurisdiction I am in England. I purposely didn’t put convicted sex offender (and lower case o) because someone can very much be a sexual offender - someone who has carried out an illegal sexual act, which is an offence - without being convicted in a court of law. This is the case here. A huge part of my work is putting interventions like Sexual Risk Orders in place to prevent further offending of these types of people because of their propensity to reoffend. What I didn’t appreciate was you definitively claiming it was wildly untrue because you misunderstood the post. I am fortunate (unfortunate?) to be one of the leads in the subject for England and Wales so I’d like to hope I know what I’m talking about - most of the time!
That must be a fun job to be doing in the contemporary UK where "grooming gangs" are a right wing canard. Props
We’ve come full circle from “how dare we give this man a platform” to “get that man back on his damn platform so he can use it to raise money?"
I'm doing a King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard discography listen today (and probably tomorrow and the next day and the next day) if anyone wants to join me It's like 70% good
Always loved the elitism and double standards of the music scene in general. "We" seem to easily forgive child molesters, killers, "hiring a hitman on your wife" frontmans, etc. but to forgive one of the biggest band of "our own scene" for sending 16 -year old girls dicpicks in his early 20s 25+ years ago is something we can't pass. There are bigger issues out there.
TBF it was a bit more than simply exchanging pics. Ongoing grooming of an underage girl so you can hook up with her when she's "legal" is pretty messed up.
If any of us calling out Jesse Lacey are also forgiving Tim Lambesis I'd be SHOCKED Also As I Lay Dying is a shitty book, I don't care to comment on the music cuz it's irrelevant to Tim Lambesis being a shitty person but I feel the need to say that the book fucking sucks and I won't forgive my English teacher for making me read it
