In the same way you can support any publication that reviews a film (for example) that shows stabbings and sexual violence... ...there is no difference here.

So you think it's ok for them to be promoting someone who sings about headbutting women and making her face a mess? Good grief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butlers Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Complaining about words which you view as " violence" while you champion a guy in prison on human trafficking and maybe rape charges is a bit of a stretch 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it's ok for them to review a film that contains a scene where a woman is headbutted... ...or a book that contains violence, or racism as part of the narrative? If they do, are they tacitly giving their approval, or just reviewing the work as a whole? Quote Good grief. Indeed, get a grip!

Good grief. You need to visit the urban dictionary if you think that last line you quoted is referring to headbutting. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Tate as an example. The hypocrisy is absolutely astounding but predictable. What would your reaction be, or for that matter, The Guardians reaction if Tate was talking about headbutting a woman to make her face a mess? Do you think the Guardian would promote him? 2 minutes ago, altus said: You need to visit the urban dictionary if you think that last line you quoted is referring to headbutting.

Yeah, I think it's terrible. It's rather sad how many are not bothered by it. Heyho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
