Ariel Pink

obv important to know how the vax works, but for some strange reason something is preventing me from giving Ariel Pink the benefit of the doubt that his motives for this argument are purely informational vs enjoying having a gotcha to spring on people

just saying it was irresponsible to pull that quote in the context of what I'm sure what a lot of legit misinfo

I know this isn't the thread but I don't want to leave it hanging so let me just say -- the studies assessing whether the vaccine prevents infection and transmission have not been finished yet, but there is every reason to expect the vaccine to stop or at least decrease those. What we know now is:

* the vaccines all do a really good job keeping people from getting sick;
* they probably reduce infection and transmission but we are not sure about that yet

I think I'll wait until the medical experts like R. Stevie Moore weigh in on this

I mean, who among us is shocked that Ariel Pink takes retrograde/trollish political stands when he released a 2012 album called Ku Klux Glam. So edgy.

from that Variety piece:

“because literally everything the Democrats stand for, every single platform, is bullshit. So Trump for me is an indictment on anything bullshit… I’m so gay for Trump, I would let him fuck me in the butt.”

I'm sure this has been suggested already, but are we totally certain this isn't just some terribly tasteless art prank? Maybe that's wishful thinking on my part. I still don't actually believe Vincent Gallo votes Republican, either. Not that it being a massive art prank would excuse any of it. Also not sure what the endgame would be of such a prank. I guess I find this all very confusing and not really that funny

gallo's thing isn't a schtick. neither is this.

this guy getting the benefit of the doubt even in 2020 makes me sick tbh.

artists are egomaniacs, how is it hard to imagine they'd be into trump

map OTM

for two reasons: fuck AP and 2020 is actually still happening

more like Ariel Stink amirite

artists are egomaniacs

as generalizations go this is a really bad one

this is like the morrissey thing again "eccentric" white guys with hipstery followings get the most ludicrous benefits of the doubt extended to them with this shit. maybe he's supporting fascism because he supports fascism and maybe supporting misogyny because he's a misogynist. maybe if i'm a fan this would be shocking but i'm not a fan because of why this isn't shocking

otm

Ooof less than 400 views on youtube. I guess the MAGA bots that were “supporting” him months ago jumped ship when their contract ended.

What has less than 400 views?

A video for a new song (I guess that’s what it is, didn’t watch) he posted a week ago

I thought that was what calstars was referencing, went to his twitter to see if he had posted a song and he has but noone cares.

Nah I was just drinking last night and Menopause Man came on the shuffle.

he has a fucking song called menopause man
