    There should be a requirement to actually name the specific NGO that's being blamed for supporting / enabling whatever current thing you happen to dislike.

    You shouldn't just be able to hand-wave it away with "An NGO did it!" It's ridiculous.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,686 ✭✭✭AllForIt


    It's you that missed I was talking about Ireland's 18 LGBT NGO's. I wasn't complaining about NGO's in general as you are inferring. You're hardly telling me that LGBT NGO's run services for the LGBT elderly are you lol

    Do you judge everything in life the same way?

    If something hasn't affected you personally then it doesn't exist?

    I didn’t call you a liar. I said it was unbelievable.

    I grew up being called a “queer” or a “****” because I sang in a choir and enjoyed reading. The actual gay lads I grew up with were subject to much harsher abuse.

    The rest of your post is ridiculous arrogant nonsense. You disagree with me so I must be brainwashed. What a ridiculous thing to say.

    Comedian, musician and social media star Garron Noone has reactivated his social media accounts after a brief hiatus. Noone had deactivated his account following a backlash that surrounded two posts he created in which he discussed various topics including Conor McGregor and immigration. What followed was a national debate on Noone’s comments which led to outpourings of support for the creator and massive critism too.

    Latest video embed above or see it here: - https://www.tiktok.com/%40garron_music/video/7485460637938617622

    Instagram Real!

    He admits to making errors and miscommunication in the video that created all the fuss. And that should be accountable for it. And with some people saying he was shutting down to avoid hearing other people's viewpoints, that he is open to listening to them.

    Need to read it myself and I will edit this post with a comment!

    What's 'lol' exactly about providing services for older LGBT people?

    I know of one very progressive US multinational that surveyed their staff recently, where >50% of the LGBT staff members stated that they had experienced discrimination within the organisation based on their sexuality. Should we take it that you're convinced that they're all just imagining it?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,008 ✭✭✭✭pjohnson


    Tbf its great when they dont as it immediately reveals they actually haven't a notion what they are angry about and have just evolved from blaming "woke" to "NGO".

    They have no idea what exactly they are angry at in that moment.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,382 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    He is back on Instagram too and still delicious :)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,611 ✭✭✭nachouser

    he’s back and just as reasonable as expected.

    Talked way too much in his comeback video imo. He should have just got back to normal. Hopefully that's a line under it now. But I doubt it.



  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 42,191 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gumbo


    It sounds like he’s giving in to them a bit. He should not have had to explain himself in that detail.

    But he does have his online income to protect and his deals so I suppose ha has to protect himself in some way.

    Haters are always gona hate.

    Lets hope he sticks to crips and tea reviews, and gives his political views to his lads whatsapp group rather like every idiot



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 496 ✭✭For Petes Sake


    This is the crux of online discourse. Anyone who disagrees with conservative group think is 'brainwashed' and 'against free speech' and are a 'baying mob'.

    No, people are allowed to disagree with your viewpoint. Free speech works both ways and it's high time people on the right learned that.

    That's the same with Garron Noone. He can say whatever he wants, but people are allowed to disagree with him. However, it's the people who disagreed with him who are labelled because it goes against the conservative grain.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,686 ✭✭✭AllForIt


    Oh my god it is actually a thing. Dear god.

    If you cannot immediately see that this is just another LGBT NGO scam I can't help you.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,531 ✭✭✭Gusser09


    A stunt. Obviously he will increase his following.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,383 ✭✭✭corkie


    If it is true that he got allot of personal abuse through posts and messages on the platform, he had every legitimate reasons to temporarily deactivate his accounts. The original video is still up on TikTok but comments are switched off now. So can't been seen. Also you need an account which I don't have to see comments on the platform.

    I will quote myself below, because I have no interest in correcting accounts here, of false statements or wrong interpretations. Not referring to you @Gusser09 with that!

    It's good that he is back, I wonder will he be a guest on TLLS this week or next



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,639 ✭✭✭✭dxhound2005


    Himself and Ryan Tubridy before him have done wonders for the word Delicious. People have learned that it is not just connected with food and drink.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,686 ✭✭✭AllForIt


    1. I am the gay person
    2. You are the not gay person

    You are casting doubt on what the gay person says and put forward your own account of what gay people experience, even though you are not gay yourself.

    3. Therefore you are the arrogant one. And then some.

    To summarize: "Gay person reports happy life of non-existant homophibia which makes equality lovin lefists mad as hell".

    Hold on here.

    I'm not gay, but I have seen gay people I know get torrents of homophobic abuse.

    Are you calling me a liar, therefore downplaying the experiences of gay people just because you say homophobic abuse doesn't exist?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,272 ✭✭✭RoyalCelt


    The people's champ is back and he should do exactly what he wants to do.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,772 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    in fairness they do seem to have a rather sinister and oddball connection to the world of politics… in terms of access to ministers and public funding…ie. our money…

    When your government(s) are basically putting for instance certain healthcare and sports charities of ours on the step outside in comparison to the likes of ministers Joe O’Brien and Pashcal Donohoe who are gleefully meeting personally with and bragging chests puffed out to the media about securing funding for certain types of NGOs…. It’s sinister.

    I’d say the Garron fella will be back….i imagine tiktok was making him a nice few bob.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,588 ✭✭✭tom23


    Thank god Joe O’Brien is not a minister or even a td any more.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,814 ✭✭✭Hamachi


    Indeed. That’s multiple times now that it’s been suggested that he stick to certain topics that are safe and sanctioned. When will these people learn that they no longer control the narrative?

    Pandora’s box has been blown apart..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,781 ✭✭✭Hangdogroad


    Prior to this thing blowing up the only place I knew this guys name from was a few mentions in the someone you inexplicably can't stand thread here on AH.

    So he's a fella who reviews biscuits on TikTok?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,434 ✭✭✭Flaneur OBrien


    Who said that?

    All I've seen is certain people say he should be allowed say whatever he wants, and other people say of course he should be allowed say whatever he wants, but he should also be prepared for consequences.

    Who said:

    A: he shouldn't hold and entertain certain opinions?

    And

    B: Why shouldn't people be allowed disagree with someone's opinion?



  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 22,571 Mod ✭✭✭✭Brian?


    Hey, maybe we’re both arrogant. I’m willing to take that as a compromise position.

    I’m not putting forward my “account of what gay people experience”. I’m putting forward my account of what I experienced. Which was intense homophobia all around me.

    Not everyone has the same experience, you said that yourself.

    Well then you’re clearly not reading the thread. Certain posters have suggested that he adhere to his typical content, which is approved and ‘safe’.

    Who said that people shouldn’t be allowed disagree with his opinion? You can disagree with him all you want. I haven’t seen anybody deny you that privilege..

    So you accept that this is a storm in a teacup.

    Noone had every right to say whatever he said.

    But his audience has every right to disagree with him. I assume you support the audience having the right to say publicly they disagree with his stance. That has the net effect of fewer people watching his videos, which has the net effect of lowering his earning potential.

    No-one told him to shut down his social media. That was entirely his decision.

    Honestly, I think you're just a bit giddy that there may have been a well known figure .as against immigration as you are.
