rolling #metoo thread for sexual harassment in the music industry so no one misses out when artists we don't give a fuck about like Tim Westwood and Bassnectar get caught

It doesn't say it is, if anything, chart might suggest that it is almost impossible for a women to file a sexual harassment charges.

so Har Mar's statement is

1) It's really brave of these women to come forward
2) I take this very seriously
3) I was really fucked up for a long period of time, abused drugs and alcohol and did a lot of things I regret
4) Regardless, these women are liars

Yep. Not going over well.

"it's just no one cares if the local social worker is outed as a sexually abusive asshole"

obviously the people victimized by the asshole are going to care, and the employers of the asshole are going to care, and they are really going to care (or at least the civic agency's attorneys are) if the abuse happened on the job or with a client ... and if it involved a child ... geez. Is it going to become an HBO docuseries? Probably not.

This dude (who was apparently once a rapper) hit it big on Twitter this week, and then—

https://www.thedailybeast.com/comedian-jensen-karp-faces-allegations-of-abusive-behavior-after-viral-shrimp-cereal-tweet

This one is so weird... I feel dumb for really wanting to know if he faked the shrimp (probably) but what grosses me out even more is the detail that he was going into a box of cinnamon toast crunch for seconds.

I heard him on a podcast once and I read his book. I mainly remember it as some breezy turn of the century hiphop ephemera stuff that seemed to keep coming back to the fact that he's positive he'd be a billionaire if Eminem didn't break the moment he did.

It’s very strange because he really was the white rap nerd who got to do things like write for rap nerd TV shows and write rap nerd books and release rap nerd trivia games and sell rap nerd lapel pins and write for award shows and do a lot of the shit that a lot of the ILX goon cru probably could do just as well but he always did seem a little smarter and funnier but not all that exceptionally different than a lot of ppl. And then this all comes out and it’s like “Oh, wait, there were some other things going on there”

is that why Cinnamon Toast Crunch was on sale the other day? I really don't understand this guy.

I doubt he’s faking the cereal thing (and it is gross/disturbing), but he was kind of irritatingly cutsie about it on Twitter. Like, I know you’re a “creative,” but don’t treat something like a joke/meme and then get all indignant at the company’s social media team.

Yeah, the leap from “Ummmm” to “I wasn’t all that mad until you now tried to gaslight me?” was nagl

Thanks for the chart VHS but I just don't believe mining is the paradise for women the data suggests

The one woman I know who worked in mining was absolutely sexually harassed and undermined on her job due to being a woman, and changed jobs because of it.

North Country is a 2005 American drama film directed by Niki Caro, starring Charlize Theron, Frances McDormand, Sean Bean, Richard Jenkins, Michelle Monaghan, Jeremy Renner, Woody Harrelson, and Sissy Spacek. The screenplay by Michael Seitzman was inspired by the 2002 book Class Action: The Story of Lois Jenson and the Landmark Case That Changed Sexual Harassment Law by Clara Bingham and Laura Leedy Gansler, which chronicled the case of Jenson v. Eveleth Taconite Company.
...
While working a job washing hair, Josey reconnects with an old acquaintance, Glory Dodge, who works at the local iron mine and suggests Josey do the same, as a job there pays six times more than what Josey's making now. Josey's pursuit of and securing the job further strains her relationship with Hank, who also works at the mine and believes women shouldn't be working there, so she and her children move in with Glory and her husband, Kyle.

Josey quickly befriends several other female workers at the mine and soon realizes the women are constant targets for sexual harassment and humiliation by most of their male co-workers, who, like Hank, believe the women are taking jobs more appropriate for men.

Sean Bean is great as Josey

Sean Bean is great as Josey

How does he die?

So Burger Boogaloo is back, minus of course the late unlamented Burger Records, with a new name:

Statement in the PR mail:

Total Trash Productions has shared the following statement:

While Total Trash Productions has always independently produced the festival and Burger Records only played a promotional role, we do not want to discount the problems of safety and inclusion that have plagued the music scene for far too long. Instead, we would like to be part of the solution.

We are committed to becoming a leader in event safety and are working to expand our policies beyond the accepted standards. Over the coming months, we will be publicly outlining new safety and awareness practices in addition to new festival guidelines. In the meantime, we are eager to hear from members of our community who have policies or best practices they would like to see us incorporate in our plans as we want to ensure that your voices are heard. Please email safety @ totaltrashproductions.com with your suggestions.

lmao booking Bikini Kill to headline is so incredibly on-the-nose

I think this was scheduled a while ago ... like, I saw the event come up in facebook feed and I had already checked "interested" ... I honestly don't remember when that was tbh.

I feel like they are decent people, actually, and don't want to give them shit ... there was an ongoing issue about homeless people being displaced by the festival, and the festival organizers weren't dicks about it.

xp Whiney -- I only live 5 minutes away from Mosswood Park ... so, I am clearly even more of an expert about this festival than I am about pop-punk lol

A Dan Schneider sitcom with a pedophile on set? Who would have expected

T.I. has used audio of one of the multiple women who have accused him of sexual assault, drugging, and imprisonment in his new single, naming her The Parasite in the video, and also bragging about how he did a year in jail for refusing to snitch, and now he's "up against some lying-ass bitches.”

fucking sociopath jesus

I mean, the guy did respond to "Irreplaceable" with a diss track with the line "I could have another you in an hour/Matter fact, she's upstairs in the shower"

Look who is trying to continue on...sort of.

Love to take the moral high ground by confusing T.I. with Ne-Yo

lol

haha

not even a diss track, he (Ne-Yo) wrote the song to begin with. the “hour/shower” version is the original lyric, which was later clumsilybrilliantly adapted for Beyoncé in a jiffy.

how soon we forget: there is a 1761-post NE-YO vs THE-DREAM thread on ILM. granted, over time it became predominantly about The-Dream, but it was Ne-Yo who actually won the poll.
(Terius Nash would probably feature in this here thread tho, had it been started earlier)
