TW: rape

[personal profile] annethecatdetective 2014-05-08 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
It's not that he made rape jokes during his LP that makes me think he's absolutely an asshole, it's that when survivors say 'hey, this is intensely triggering', there is no honest apology. And when his fans jump on those survivors to make further rape 'jokes' and even threats, he doesn't step in to tell them that isn't cool, and may have contributed. I'm not as up on this story as some-- I never watched any of his LPs, myself, I just have friends who got fed up with how awful the comments sections would get if anyone voiced the slightest critique in terms of how hey, maybe shouting 'rape' repeatedly isn't a joke and maybe it can hurt/upset people.


There's nothing nice or decent about that. The nice/decent response would be to apologize-- even if you don't think you did something wrong, even if you believe the person is being too sensitive, it costs you nothing to say 'sorry'. Only a real asshole then says 'haha hope you get raped', and only a real asshole sees their fans have that response and doesn't shut it down by saying there's a line you shouldn't cross.

(I'm not really comfortable calling the 'apology' he issued that-- it really seemed like a 'no, I'm a good person' thing, very insincere and calculated for personal gain. But that's the only video I'm at all familiar with and the awfulness of most of his fans means I'm not likely to look at any of his other videos)
