discuss the downfall of PWR BTTM >An anonymous woman has given an interview to Jezebel describing an alleged sexual assault by Ben Hopkins of PWR BTTM, adding to allegations of predatory behavior that have been circulating over the past two days. The woman, who Jezebel has given the pseudonym of “Jen,” claims that Hopkins “made sexually aggressive advances and started having sex with her without permission while also refusing to wear protection,” according to Jezebel. “Later, while she was asleep, Jen said she woke up to Hopkins trying to have sex with her again.” She also claimed that Hopkins assaulted her a second time a month after the first incident. pitchfork.com/news/73469-alleged-sexual-assualt-by-pwr-bttms-ben-hopkins-described-in-new-interview/
I wanna see that pic of him in front of the swastika
also all their live members and opening acts stopped associating with them

I mean I was in the whole "stop going on a witch hunt until we have evidence" camp but at this point there are details in the allegations where the band can come out and flat out deny them. The whole point of their statement was to have the stance of "if you believe you were abused then you were abused" rather than denying the allegations because they believed that would be insensitive.
Now, there are things that they can either come out and deny or stay silent and get torn to pieces as others take the silent hint.
>Hopkins “made sexually aggressive advances and started having sex with her without permission while also refusing to wear protection,” according to Jezebel. “Later, while she was asleep, Jen said she woke up to Hopkins trying to have sex with her again.”
it's either true or not. there's no in-between.

I kinda think we've had enough threads on this trainwreck, but I ain't a mod.

Just Google image search these two and tell me they're not totally full of shit. How stupid are LGBT people to give these frauds the time of day. It's like blackface for Trans people.
I supported Gira mostly because he has a long track record of artistic and personal integrity whereas his accuser had none. These two it's the other way around. Hope they disappear.
Mason Johnson
thank you
Sebastian Ortiz
>lgbt guys >having sex with women if you needed to know they were full of shit
The Joker was right, yet again. SJWs just find targets wherever.
I didn't like their music, and I'm really glad this is happening after seeing so many yaas queen articles about them.
Just stick to Perfume Genius.
Levi Edwards
I honestly want to know: are you shitposting? Do you know what the fuck LGBT even means?
Matthew Martinez
>Just stick to Perfume Genius. mike is a sweetie tho. he's not even queercore either.
Jaxson Young
IT'S NOT A GIMMICK, WE SWEAR
Levi Bennett
>SJW's just find targets wherever If this was going to come out anyway, ya'll would have called them hypocrites if the band wasn't held accountable
Isaiah Williams
I'm so fucking glad these faggots got btfo, i wish i could beat the shit out of those little cunts
Joseph Walker
Ben is gonna off himself after this isn't he

Jason Wright
Was their music even decent? I heard some singles and they were catchy enough but their music is ruined now i guess
Ryder Lee
Mods, please delete this thread. This has as much to do with music as Anita and Zoe threads have to do with video games.
Chase Scott
>literally >twitter hearsay >some anonymous girl on jezebel How retarded are you
Camden Harris
nothing remarkable, just another burger records band.
Jose Robinson
i dunno dude i fronted them more than they deserved cause they were gay but now i'm hesitant to immediately drop them, doesn't make sense huh
Justin Scott
Cry more.
Mason Ortiz
Everyone who went to college with Ben knew they were doing this as well.
Oliver Price
They weren't gay, they acted like total fags. I'm quite surprised that more gays weren't embarrassed by their minstrelesque antics.
Now they get to be disgusted by them though.
Andrew Green
I'm the one who started that rumor. It isn't true. I pulled it out of my ass. Of course they're fucking gay
Nicholas Gray
I misspoke. I mean they were complete fags, gay or straight and I cannot believe they got so much support to begin with.
Zachary Young
>le joker video please go back to r e d d i t
Henry Lee
You mean you're a homophobe, and you and other image board internet homophobes deliberately lied to ruin these kid's lives?
Christopher Ross
>they're gay >allegations are about raping women
Levi Clark
everything about this band was obviously put on for easy attention from "DIY queers" and the fact that so many people fell for their gimmick for so long without anything about their persons being called into question is laughable
oh is the lgbtqgjfmdk community no-true-scottsman'ing itself now lmao
Charles Adams
>tfw sam hyde is now on sucide watch
Oliver Anderson
So who's gonna be the next straight musician pretending to be gay to have his career destroyed by rape allegations?
I'm betting on pic related.
Liam Ross
Nope, I mean I didn't buy their shtick and couldn't believe it suckered so many people in. They were just queer shucking and jiving and the music press ate it up and now they'll have to eat crow.
They've already had members quit and are being dropped from every single live performance. They are done. This is over. And this is a great outcome.
Go listen to Perfume Genius, a real artist not a caricature.
Jacob Powell
Its gonna be st vincent
Bentley Hill
Will toledo hopefully
Luis Green
can also bet on pic related, was just thinking about that actually. great minds think alike user :^)
Noah Sullivan
Ben Hopkins and Liv Bruce of PWR BTTM made catchy punk for outliers on their debut album, Ugly Cherries, and have since become role models for contagious self-confidence.
lol, pitchform called them role models. I wonder how long until this review is altered/deleted from their site.
I can totally see news from Will raping people or some shit
Ayden Cox
He's way too much like all of my angry nerd friends that play guitar to be gay.
Wyatt Lewis
let's grab big titties

Cameron Bennett
>It's like blackface for Trans people blackface for trans people is socially accepted: see non-binary, genderqueer, agender and associated terms that all mean the same thing but are actually DIFFERENT AND LITERALLY IMPORTANT
Henry Sanchez
zoe is such a cute name
Aaron Jackson
>It's like blackface for Trans people. What? How? Do you have to genuinely believe you're a female to be allowed to dress up as one?
Wyatt Allen
kek
Nicholas Mitchell
what would some anonymous girl gain from destroying powr bttm. If she was lying why not go after Metallica or some band most people have heard of.
Brayden Garcia
Lars is too on himself to ever try anything on anyone.
Nolan Torres
the lead vocalist """"identifies"""" as """"non-binary"""" or some variant that means the same thing which is completely insane yet accepted.
Jonathan Roberts
they trade in outrageous cultural facsimiles for attention. i dunno how you're missing the analogy here, its perfect.
Lincoln Parker
People do the same shit all over the world with suspected "bum drillers" or "witches" or whoever that culture/group has decided is their "enemy." Don't act like it's just an ess jay dobble yew thing.
Camden Nelson
>non-binary wtf is non-binary anyways and how is different from bisexual
Jason Jones
non binary means you arent a boy or a gril
James Perry
it means 'not conforming to gender roles', but it is also a legitimate gender (and every other variant of it is uniquely special) and completely different and if you question this concept you are immediately discommunicated
Jason Gomez
Calm down autist No one in real life cares about this shit
Jonathan Carter
I assume you don't go to college.
Aiden Morales

Jordan Harris
>something i just thought up
Take your reddit lies out of here I saw that on stereogum 4 hours ago.
David Sanders
Lars would just laugh at some twitter bitch trying to fling shit
Blake Hall
kek
Liam Harris
so one is a gender term and the other is a sexual orientation term?
legit curious, no flame pls
Kevin Reyes

What a retard lmao
Evan Peterson
> I supported Gira mostly because he has a long track record of artistic and personal integrity whereas his accuser had none.
Couldn't have said it better. I don't go to a Swans show looking to become Gira's best friend. It is really satisfying that these richboi poseurs are getting what's coming to them, but real sad that a lot of kids trusted them to be relatable not-shitty :(
Jordan Murphy
Oh the irony. How up your own ass do you have to be to jump into a thread of discussion and point out that nobody cares?
It's like cheating in a video game and then complaining how boring it now is. What makes you the arbiter?
Leo Clark
So much of this shit in the local scenes!! Like, if I smear on some eye shadow, voila I'm now oppressed and a proverbial "survivor"
Luis Anderson
shits and giggles? why does Sup Forums do similar stuff all the time?
Gabriel King
He's mad
Matthew Turner
