Oh man I am so glad you wrote this because this whole thing made me too frustrated to post about it (yes, me, too frustrated to post about an issue like this!)
WHERE were all the hand wringing OH BUT I WANT TO COMPARTMENTALIZE I CAN SEPARATE THE MUSIC FROM THE MUSICIANS I STILL WANT TO PLAY IN FANDOM posts after The Like's ONE upsetting interview? Nowhere to be found. It was all INSTANT CONDEMNATION and yet when Ray makes jokes about whores or how women can't play video games or Frank makes jokes about abortions and punching women or uses racial slurs or the band uses transphobic slurs in their MARKETING we have to TALK ABOUT IT and WORRY ABOUT IT -- um, hello, THAT IS FUCKED.
