    I did but am unfamiliar about the tweets you referred to.

    The Tweets Outlaw Pete put up last week of their Twitter feed.

    Mocking fat women and asking Girl to show their Tits.

    Feminism at its best right?

    It must be hell living with no sense of irony and a complete inability to understand satire. The world must be so literal to you.

    Jesus the majority of comments on here that are not so much criticism as pure hate and dare I say good old fashioned Irish begrudgery.

    I for one find Blindboy to be refreshing, funny, and thought provoking. Couldn’t give a **** he wears a bag on his head, each to their own. Love my weekly podcast hug!

    I am really shocked to see so many negative opinions of blindboy. I’ve listened to most episodes of his podcast and he is an interesting, well read, humourous, and above all decent person.

    I don’t agree with him on a lot. I cringe when he blows smoke up Louise ONeills hole, and when he talks about masculine toxicity.

    But there is nothing wrong with that. He genuinely comes across as not being rigid on his opinions and obviously has a vast curiosity that he loves feeding.
    It's Toxic masculinity, you queer :D

    What evidence is there I think he’s an oracle? Can you quote a post where I praise his ability to predict the future? Or even accurately analyse the present?

    I find him entertaining. That’s it.

    Fuc*ing hell. Who called him an oracle? Fans of his are entitled to call you out on your blanket criticism of him because of A) using the word feminism B) wearing a bag.

    You have decided that everyone who likes his podcast/book/music or anything in between has been somehow blindsided into agreeing with every word he speaks & is bowing down to him as some kind of guru. Absolutely not the case for anyone I know who is a fan. Very little of the criticism levelled at BB here comes from a place of actual familiarity with his work so forgive us if we feel the need to defend him from such peurile nonsense as comparing him to recently deceased and, at best, mediocre comedian for kids, Barry Chuckle.

    People are allowed to not like him, even hate him, call him a prick or whatever. It’s all opinion.
    Bono gets called every name under the sun here and nobody bats an eyelid.

    Love Bono as a musician, massive U2 fan since Boy.

    Have to say very grateful to him for pontificating during the 360 tour at Croker and showing a video of Desmond Tutu and a load of kids.

    Had time for a slash and a pint.

    I was at that too :) I like U2, not their biggest fan by any stretch of the imagination. Bono is a sanctimonious prick though and so is Blindboy and I did enjoy a few podcasts at the start and some of The Rubberbandits stuff is decent.

    Spend pages insulting Blindboy and fans of Blindboy.

    Get called out on BS.

    Claim it was satire for the lolz.

    Have I got that right? Rank stupidity.

    No I’m grand thanks. I don’t even know what you’re claiming is satire here as I only read the last couple of pages but I wouldn’t trust your judgment on satire when you tried to give Sarah Jeong the benefit of the doubt on 6 years of racist tweets being satire...

    Lad chill out.

    People are entitled to opinions. You may not like them, but people have shown why they don't and while you might buy into it and think it's funny others see it different.

    Best of luck to you if you want support him or follow him or whatever. I'm not going go down your childish behaviour and I should not have followed it myself.

    Now if you want continue insulting me go ahead be the Big Man

    Chill out? I’m perfectly “chilled out”. You accused me of blindly following Blindboy(pun intended), so much so I’d jump off a cliff if he said so. Now you’re all upset I’ve pointed out the stupidity of that?

    I didn’t say you are stupid. I didn’t intend to insult you.
