ok? I'm not sure what your point is. I'm not saying that one accusation is enough to "grab a pitchfork" every single time. I'm saying, and have been all along, that in this situation i already know enough to write the band off. you started in with all the hypotheticals.

I've said before and i've said again: I've seen enough to believe that the accusations are real and that they're lying about this being the first the band have heard about them. You haven't, bc you admit you've not looked into enough it yet or don't know anyone connected to a victim. I have and do. Accept it and move…

Look, I said it wasn't perfect because I wrote it pretty quickly because you kind of insisted I gave you something rather than searching for yourself. In my last comment I said it was better to give people the option to contact however they choose, if they want, while other action is taken, rather than insisting it's…

I'm sorry but I really need to reply to this paragraph by paragraph because there's a lot to discuss here.

Like I said, don't have a lot of time to research it for you right now, but there are established accountability processes for abusers and you shouldn't have to google too hard to find out about some that don't put all the pressure on survivors to get in touch with their abuser through a gmail account that anyone…

There's a couple points I'd like to disagree with you on here:

Yeah that one reaaaally made my partner feel unwell!

AHH! BOTCH TOE! Give me some trash to plug the wound.

Fellow queer who'd love to give even the smallest benefit of the doubt, but I can't. I believe the allegations are true. I have a friend who knows one of the survivors (yeah I know, friend-of-friend, but it's someone I trust completely), and they first heard about this a while ago, heard enough to believe it, and was…

No, it deserves not to be reviewed after the allegations. Whether it's an A or a D-, they're a band that have found success by promoting politics around consent, safe spaces, etc., and it turns out it's not just a sham but a total betrayal of fans' trust. They don't deserve a platform right now.

Colbert's monologue on election night when it was clear Donald Trump was gonna win really hit me, particularly as it seemed pretty improvised and genuinely heartfelt, especially when he was talking about his mother. Quite the speech, def worth a watch if you missed it at the time. https://www.youtube.com/wat…

The blood-drinking bit in Temple of Doom made me sick when I was tiny. Lately gross out things don't gross me out too much. My partner, on the other hand, struggles to watch Always Sunny while eating because Frank's very presence on the screen makes her feel physically iffy, even when he's not slithering naked from a…

I dunno, it still tickles me. They could probably dial it back a little bit, but I'm on board with it. That said, Peep Show is my favourite sitcom, so I've built up serious cringe-resistance.

I need to catch up on Last Man On Earth, think I'm a few weeks behind. I know it's not the greatest thing ever made and the premise has gotten shakier ever since season one but I seriously just find it consistently delightful. Like, delightful really is specifically the best word to use. Will Forte just never fails to…

Wolf Parade are just Parts & Labor for wusses THERE I SAID IT.

You can buy it in the WiiU e-shop I think! The C-buttons are a bit clunky mapped to a stick but it's not that bad really.

Pretty much, I guess? Like, to me, this stuff is focused at people who actually aren't that creative. People who don't actually produce anything - they'll never write a novel, or even self-publish a zine. They'll never do a webcomic. They'll never get a painting in a DIY gallery show, or even their local art crawl.…

The Clickhole take on introverts always used to tickle me. "You're too busy at home writing perfect novels to go to something as meaningless as a social event with your friends!"

I watched this recently actually, for all the areas where it looks dated now, it's still a stunning film and it definitely holds up overall. I need to get round to rewatching Hero, I remember that being even more visually beautiful.
