Context!

Gerard Way called a teen girl online a cunt.

Then updated his twitter prof. to say something like, "Not afraid to call a 16 year old girl a cunt."

Papalani then called him out on using misogynist language (saying something to the effect that he wasn't afraid to be ~edgy~ by dropping the c-bomb, but sure as hell would never call anyone...say, the n-word), and said basically, "Would you like some rockstar calling your daughter that in 16 years?"

Then G-Way said he'd punch her face in. Cause, you know, that is a totally thoughtful way to respond to a pretty legitimate criticism and valid point.

THEN Lexi called him out on saying that he'd physically assault a lady (a lady who, hilariously enough, was criticizing his misogynistic behavior), and then he said he'd physically assault HER.

And at the end of the day, I was disappoint.

...Wow. OK, yep, pretty douchey. And here I was trying not to judge him/that band as just a bunch of emo posers who were trying too hard (hey, I loved Good Charlotte when I was a teenager; I can't hate). But that is just ridiculous.

What's even more depressing (to me) is the fact that a lot of his fans are either a) changing the context, or b) hyperbolizing (which I just made up...) to make it seem like poor Gerard was just so put upon by these nasty fans and wasn't he justified by calling them cunts and threatening physical violence? He had just had enough!

When, like, papalani had...four tweets to him? CLEARLY SHE WAS HARASSING HIM. Except...she was speaking out about the fact that it's bullshit that he, a grown ass man, would call a 16 year old girl a cunt?

...WHAT A BITCH!

Blech.

First off... Am I an obsessive fan who's going to be all OMG YOU DARE DEFILE THE NAME OF GERARD WAY???!!! No. I'm just going to play Devil's Advocate here.

The teen he called a cunt? From what I can see had pretty much created a twitter to hassle him and his wife. For months, I believe.

And then he'd had enough, so he retaliated. Did he retaliate in a particularly useful way? No. Do I condone the use of the word cunt or any other misogynistic language? No.

But think of it like this... If that was a student from (insert state here) or an office worker from (insert state here), I very much doubt you'd be jumping on their backs because they retaliated to months of taunting the wrong way. You'd be jumping to their defence because they are the victims of cyberbullying.

But because this is Gerard Way and he is in the public eye, he's either a GOLDEN SAINT WHO DOES NO WRONG, YOU HATER, SO FUCK OFF or he's a MISOGYNISTIC ASSHOLE BASTARD WHO LIKES TO CALL LITTLE GIRLS CUNTS AND LAUGH LIKE SATAN. There's no happy medium. The guy is not perfect, he's human. He fucks up like the rest of us. He's just got a fuckload more people watching when he does.

I'm the anon above.

And by the teen he called a cunt? I don't mean papalani. There was a whole entire conversation with someone else who pretty much existed on twitter to hate on, not just My Chemical Romance, but other bands of that ilk before papalani jumped into it.
