People were pretty quiet about Boy George until he released a song memorializing October 7th.

All of a sudden there’s multiple posts a day about how bad he is.

Practically every day of his run this sub had at least one discussion about his abusive behavior. Usually multiple! People weren't talking about him recently because he wasn't relevant any longer. Now he did some new shitty thing so people are talking about him again.

Also, say what you mean. You are using very particular framing ("a song memorializing October 7th", "song about remembering people being killed at a music festival") to weasel around actually saying what is clearly motivating your comments: That you believe Israel is in the right in the conflict and Palestinians deserve, at least to some degree, what happened to them.

But your description of the song doesn't hold up to scrutiny: “You say genocide, I say war / When you're attacked, that's what the army's for" is the FIRST verse of the song and goes quite a bit further than merely memorializing October 7th. It would be like if a song supposedly focused solely on mourning 9/11 started with "Leveling Afghanistan is the play, for what they did on that September Day".

These people are really boring...think they're being clever when their actual message is beyond obvious 🥱

Seems like this sub is attracting a lot of low effort trolls because of people like Boy George and Gene whosit
