*~RADAR - List of Problematic Subculture Celebs~*
NOTE: THIS ENTIRE POST LEADS TO TRIGGERING CONTENT. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU TAKE CARE ON THE LINKS AS YOU WILL FIND ABLEISM, RACISM, RACIAL SLURS, TRANSMISOGYNY, AND OTHER SUCH THEMES.
~Robert Brown of Abney Park
uses a racial slur in one of his songs, reacted badly to a call-out of this
general ableist or other statements
general theiving, dishonest guy
~A Count Named Slickbrass
appropriates in the name of “satire” things he has no right to
misogynist tendencies, including joking about violence against women
general lack of understanding of how PoC oppression works
female congoers have reported harassment (not sourced to protect identities)
~Nick Ottens of the Gatehouse Gazette
coined the term “Victorientalism,” fervently defends that nonsense
~Not a celeb, but Brass Goggles, tends to allow and promote racist/problematic discussions because the predominantly white membership doesn’t have a problem with it.
Bullying, theft of the work of others, and in general moving things around to personally help her own (unfairly). Easily google’d.
~Steam-Power Giraffe’s very own David
not as bad as Robert Brown, but this is a major warning flag.
reacted poorly to trans women complaining about his portrayal of trans women in Sandman
said the genocide of Native Americans was “boring and trivial”
married Amanda Palmer, does nothing to curb her horseshit
this post provides a comprehensive list of problematic shit Palmer has done, and is a good wake-up call for anyone who feels she’s a “good person”
NOTE: this is NOT a clarion call to boycott the mentioned artists. This is a radar post for problematic persons found in subculture communities, to inform and educate people. It is your choice to support these artists/sites/groups/people or not.
If you feel someone should be added to this list, please message me to let me know. I don’t particularly care if you feel someone should be removed.
I’m trying to maintain and release comprehensive lists as I go. Stay tuned for further updates.
