Where do we stand on Billy Corgan? //hivemind

[D.o.S.]

[psychic vampire.]

If he was a boob, I'd like him.

But what casecandy says echoes my thoughts on political correctness. If SJWs are a bigger part of your life compared to actually bigoted people, you live a blessed life and should stop being the little bitch you accuse others of being.

Let's go with some of this, some of what casecandy said.

There are VERY legitimate arguments against social justice; I am against social justice. But 95% of the people I hear/meet who hate social justice follow ot up by saying something extremely racist/misogynistic/whatever. Like, in a recent Alex Jomes show (this one? Did not bother rewatching) he was angry that he couldn't say "Tranny" and it's like, dude, you bragged on yr blog about beating up atrans woman, that does not make you a big man, it makes you a pathetic fool who is insecure in his own masculinity. The world would be better if Billy died in a bus crash after Mellon Collie came oit /hyperbole

I stand very innfavor of hiveminds though. Rewatched Ghost In The Shell last night.

Exactly. No response.

I'd say he's fat, ugly, pretentious and hasn't made a good album in a decade or more.

[popvulture]

A few years back when he was getting booed by his own fans for playing wack shit and he in turn told them that they essentially "didn't get it" or something along those lines... that pretty much sums up his whole persona to me.

I mentioned Axl earlier. See also: George Lucas. Fame + Ego + surrounded by Yes Men = unchecked lameness.

?

That was in response to the OP. I don't really care about SJWhinging.

I'd say he's pretentious and has never made a good album

ftfy.

Why do we care what celebrities think anyway?
Most of them are fuckwits.
Let's just arrive at that conclusion and drive the fuzz bus onto awesome town.

My only concerns are when they lend their voices to potentially harmful causes (such as this new, second wave anti-vaccination movement) but the second they do things like that, we should just cease to listen to them.
One can discredit oneself by simply opening their mouth.
I mean, I do it every day, but I don't get interviewed and then scrutinised in an Internet forum about fuzz, so who gives a fuck about this guy?
He posts in the thread, making it longer and drawing more attention to the inanity of the situation.

[quote="casecandy"]Here's where I stand on Billy Corgan. I put him in the same category as, like, Varg Vikernes. /quote]

I am not a big fan of Varg at all but... I find the shit he says less dumb than Billy but more fun... [although I agree 100% with rfurtkamp about Billy]

I'm basically with RFK on this. Never liked him or his music, so whatever. William's an asshole tho, so there's that.

And holy shit, I didn't know Varg is a vlogger now. subb'd

Ahh. Foolish of me. Had you have quoted my post... but you didn't. I made the assumption it was at my post. I fail

[D.o.S.]

Its ok. The Billy emoji is for all seasons.

Oh, yes... he is (not very) familiar with the ancient Germanic pagan magick known simply as "Windows Movie Maker."

Even better, he actively comments and responds to comments on his YouTube channel.

Like... Michael Jackson hears that and he doesn't even think about it. He makes popcorn.
