band have officially split.

I'd link the BBC report, but you can pretty much guess the content...

Is it about his three penises or the unicorn thing?

hope the judge isn't on ILX

jesus christ, some of the details in report are reminiscent of A Serbian Film

c-man of Total Sci-Fi in a negative review took issue with the film-makers' statements that their movie says something about the politics of Serbia, writing, "if you want to learn about Serbia, chances are, you won't be watching a movie whose main claim to fame is that a man rapes a newborn baby", before concluding that "Srdjan Spasojevic will go to his grave being known as the guy who filmed a grown man having sex with a baby. And that's something that – despite all of the money, attention and champagne parties at Cannes – I would never want on my conscience. Good luck to him in regaining some humanity."[48]

that movie sounds unwatchable... have you seen it DJP?

this whole story is just... ugh. unthinkable, really.

hell no I haven't seen it, just read the plot synopsis

i'm too afraid to even search for it

i feel ick after reading the wiki page

fwiw, it's p obv an animatronic baby in A Serbian Film

Did the rest of his band know what he was doing? Did they have suspicions? How the hell would you deal with that if you were, say, the drummer. Fucking hell. Nasty, nasty, nasty. So many horrible things that this says about power and fame and fandom and masculinity and wish fulfillment. Awful.

@rupertevelyn is a court reporter on the case fyi

The "Wagner debate" is happening in real time on Twitter. To burn your Lostprophets CDs or not to burn your Lostprophets CDs? (I guess it sounds more emphatic than deleting mp3s)

fucking disgusting

So many horrible things that this says about power and fame and fandom and masculinity and wish fulfillment

I'd be pretty wary of extrapolating too much based on the evidence of this particular sociopath. I know the revelations have been piling up over the last year but attempted rape of a baby is a level of awfulness above everyone except Saville.

this cunt is worse than saville

i'm guessing nick is referring to how watkins was able to convince the mother to permit the abuse, wrt to fame and fandom

(xps)

Not going to get into paedo Top Trumps but there's a special degree of horror involved in raping a baby that's hard to compare to anything else.

jesus christ i hadn't heard this story at all, i'm wishing i still hadn't.

tiers of hell but this isnt even narc of sd, saville was yr standard hebephile degenerate with fame multiplier, this one is so bad court reporters are refusing to transcribe evidence from court

this one is so bad court reporters are refusing to transcribe evidence from court

i boggled when i read that, given what IS in the news stories

I mean, holy fuck

again though the idea of a parent offering their kids up for sexual abuse seems to really be on an abstract level of unpleasantness that 'fame' isn't going to adequately explain

everything about this is so far through the wall of fucked-up that i can't even

I don't think there are any lessons to be drawn here re: fame. There are plenty of non-famous paedophiles exerting similar control over victims and accomplices. It's just a staggering case. I can't get beyond holy fuck.

a charismatic manipulator whose fame (such as it was) gave extra opportunities to indulge his whims? AKA a fuckin' douchebag

This fuckwit won't last a month

(not arguing for a summery fate but yknow this guy's head on a shield etc)

Never having heard a LProphets record, I'm assuming it's some sort of 'U2-lite' rocky type of thing, somewhere between Muse and Stereophonics, right?

Obviously I'm not going to now. I have sympathy for fans of the band, and the rest of the band themselves. Presumably they'va all got themselves other music jobs by now, being good musicians, right?

They're just a really shitty band.

Nondescript.

more a Brit nu-metal/emo and bloody awful at that, depraved lead singer notwithstanding

I'm sure.

But what was their perceived MO? Their 'mission statement' ? (In a nutshell, obv)

that was xposted, obv, too.

does not say whether this top lad was a lostprophets fan

so i guess this is ilx's de facto baby-rape thread now huh

if you want to start a new baby-rape thread, be my guest

i feel like the 'i love people-making board' would at once be the most appropriate and very much least appropriate place to put it

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/aug/06/ian-watkins-singer-jailed-for-child-sex-offences-stabbed-in-prison

the dangerous sex offenders and murderers union had a meeting at the monster mansion and came to the unanimous decision that this guy is bad PR!

this is terrible news its not for other convicts to mete out this sort of rough justice it should be a pool from a lottery of citizens with valid tax clearance certificates and then victims or their chosen representatives after that perhaps students who get top grades in their chosen subjects just throwin out ideas here

i was very sad to hear about this. the quality of shivving in english prisons is patently not what it once was.

"According to our records, Ian Watkins is possibly single."
