The article seems to indicate her name was used without her knowledge and everyone was coordinated by Hickey posing as Deja.

I mean you can take it however you want, I just think the context is important, and makes it pretty obvious that the whole “HE’S SHITTING ON ADELE AND SAYS HER VOICE IS TERRIBLE” angle a lot of these comments are taking is flat out wrong.

I don’t think he expressed it as clearly or as eloquently as he could have, but he says “Adel has a great voice”. When he follows that up with “It’s even questionable if that is actually her voice or how much has been manipulated” he’s saying that due to today’s technology, you really don’t know what’s real and what’s…

Seriously. He’s not saying she doesn’t have an amazing voice, or even questioning her talent. He wasn’t the most eloquent or thought out in his off-the-cuff remarks, but everyone’s jumping on him like he said “ADELE CAN’T SING” when he’s just saying “here’s this person with an amazing voice, and in today’s music…

I think it’s pretty clear he knows she has an amazing talent and sounds good on her own. I think he’s just saying in the studio her material is overproduced, and at this point nobody knows how much of what ends up on the final recording hasn’t been tweaked or manipulated in some way. It seems more like an attack on…

Don’t be so quick to judge. He could be suffering from Affluenza as well.

The thing about getting blackout drunk is, if someone rapes you, it’s still rape. You can advocate for people to take precautions to protect themselves, but if a crime occurs, the fault lies with the perpetrator, not the victim.

When I was in school, I couldn’t wear ANY kind of hat, except on special Hat Days.

That’s ridiculous. What about the singer in the metal band who’s a frontman and may not play any instruments? Hell, he may not even write all the songs?

Many rappers are also producers (in fact Kanye was more well known as a producer before gaining popularity as a lyricist). In hip hop parlance, the producer is the “electronic artist who composes, mixes, and masters” the songs “from start to finish”. There are also many hip hop groups that utilize live…

Uh...I dunno, but probably? The “Romeo and Juliet” law may operate on a case by case basis for particular instances like that, though.

I think the tripod comment might have been sarcastic? Like, “how are you being so obvious with your filming and not expecting me to point it out publicly?”

It’s definitely confusing. These types of things vary by state, and as much as people like to put a black and white morality to it, there’s plenty of gray area. (Not speaking to this particular case, just “age of consent” in general)

What I can gather is the following:

Law and Order: SVU, Jurassic Park/World, Mulan...

Yeah, what the fuck. Being able to have access to guns is one thing, but I hate the attitude that you should be EXPECTED to have a gun if you don’t want someone else with a gun to kill you.

The new roller coaster just isn’t the same. I remember every time I went to a Regal movie I would act like I was really on a rollercoaster. I just couldn’t help it. It probably annoyed everyone I went to the movies with.

I once called to have my cable shut off. And it took them over four months to shut it off. So I should have unplugged my coaxial cable and never turned my TV on?

Whew. Okay, cool. Yeah the quotes should have tipped me off.

He’s also a white man who says he thought it was “amazing”. So clearly he is aware that white people are capable of understanding it. It seems he’s saying there’s a sizable contingent that likes it just because it’s currently the “hip” thing to like.
