Let's all take Blindboy seriously now...

Sky King

People do know this is a character right? And not an actual person?

Does it strike anyone else as strange that a made-up persona with a fake voice, parody accent and a fking plastic bag on his head is treated like a normal, regular person in debates and current affairs TV shows? And given the same credibility and respect as an actual real person?

Imagine Fr. Dougal Mcguire, Dustin the Turkey and Fortycoats appearing our incisive current affairs shows discussing mental health with Alan Partridge adjudicating.

Or discussing the 8th amendment and feminism with Mrs Brown, The Bottler and Podge and Rodge? It would be treated like a joke (obviously), but when the prank phone call making, glue-huffing, spastic hawk-toting Blindboy talks serious we all suddenly have to sit up take it seriously.

If I was asked to debate on the same show as a parody character I'd be more than a little pissed off.

By all means share your story on mental health or offer an opinion on our education system. But for fk sake would you give us and the other people on the show the respect of doing it yourself, in a real voice? Without a fking bag on your head?

Alternatively if you prefer holding on to the bag, you could try going back to... you know... being funny. And less preachy.

I hope it was nice n slow

Later that day, XXXTentacion left the room and returned with two grilling implements
—a “barbecue pitchfork” and a “barbecue cleaner,” she said—and told her to pick between them, because he was going to put one of them in her vagina. She chose the fork. He told her to undress. He was lightly dragging the tool against her inner thigh when she passed out. He did not penetrate her with it.

Then, XXXTentacion head-butted her, punched her, stomped on her, and put her in the bathtub, where he continued hitting and kicking her.

He was a piece of ****, good enough for him.

Aye, having looked up a bit about his background I see now where people are coming from.

" I simultaneously don't think it's a good thing that a 20 year old was just shot dead though"

Staying on the fence really, when you speel populist horsesh1t that's needed most of the time unless you are speeling on about homelessness etc when 1916 was a better time for folk :rolleyes:

Not really. It's possible to want to see someone pay for their crimes and be against murder.

I don't see anything wrong with that. Fúck him is right, and when he get to hell fúck him again.

I hadn't heard of him until a few posts up, that guy really was a remarkable piece of work - https://pitchfork.com/news/xxxtentacion-jailed-on-new-charges-of-harassing-witness/ - and all by age 20.

And it keeps going... Scroll down to 'controversies and public image'.

I’m completely in agreement. Thought it was a bit sudden but having looked up the lads backstory it’s no surprise people aren’t sorry after him.

His latest podcast is an interview with Louise O Neill.

It's the sh*tshow you would expect. Thought it was endearing that he mentioned boards.ie as a cesspit.

He also said the material made some men in the audience so uncomfortable they walked out, is he sure they didn't just walk out 'cause it was a load of sh*te?

JohnnyFlash

Did he use the word art more than usual in the podcast? Art. Art. Art. Said in that put on Limerick accent. Art.

Toxic masculinity as well. But mostly his ‘art’.

Blindboy and her ?

Jesus it's like finding out Rose West hooked up with Myra Hindley in jail.

When an "artiste" makes such a claim about any group, you can be almost guaranteed that they've gone off the deep end of ego onanism. It's also a near guarantee that it never happened or "some men" meant a couple of lads going to the jacks.

I see the Louise O'Neill thread has slipped off the front page.

Bloody patriarchy and internalised misogyny.

I blame Paddy Jackson. And Granddad Murphy.

Like when Bono put pictures of African orphans on the screen at Croker during the 360 tour, supported by a video of Desmond Tutu - and we all went the jacks and the bar ????

What you need to do is to take it easy and not be fretting. Relax your head. Buy a tin of sardines and go feed an otter.

Depression. Neoliberalism. Disco music. LBGT. Feminism.

Its OK. The blind boy thread is now on the front page in its stead. The daily ranting and random posting of buzzwords can continue here until someone locates the Louise oneill thread to bump it, as the last thing we need is people's heads exploding from building up steam between the ears.

He goes on about not having an external locus of evaluation and then goes on to say he likes having financial goals and wants positive reviews for his podcast.

Performers tend to. The need to judge oneself by outsiders, the more the merrier. It kinda goes with the territory.

I'd say if they broadcast it to Gitmo even the hard core Republicans/Tea Party would think it cruel.

Painful isn't it.

The story beforehand of some that guy he knows, who thinks he's smarter than women, being an example of male privilege, is particularly annoying.

Couldn't be just that the guy's a dickhead, no.

Call Me Jimmy

How anyone listens to this guy I will never know. Funny he mentions a friend who thinks he's more intelligent than most women, yet every pretentious, condescending sentence he squeezes out with his 'salt of the earth' act is nauseating. I've never heard anyone try and project intellectualism more than this guy does.

Russell Brand - I swear his routine is just a load of random words, most of which he doesn't understand!

Good shout but I think Russell Brand was a little more playful and definitely more self aware, think Blindboy pips it
