Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences.
@georgetakei Up until this post, I *was* a fan of Alice Cooper.
@georgetakei Dee Snyder has done the same thing. 2 men who made a career out of wearing makeup having a go at people wearing makeup!
@javier_paredes @georgetakei
Came here to say this :)
@georgetakei why is it these artists feel that they have to expose themselves as idiots like this?
@georgetakei It's astonishing watching people just blurt out the most simplistic explanation that pops into their heads.
As if the internet has not had an influence at all over the acceptance, inclusivity, and societal awareness thru communication of many diverse groups of people. It literally gives voice to those groups. Thus forwarding human progress.
I dropped him longer ago.
@georgetakei As a teen, I was enthralled by Alice Cooper's shock show and great lyrics. But as of now, school's out for any residual loyalty I might retain for him.
Thank you George for bringing this to light.
@georgetakei
Same for "free will".
transphobia
@georgetakei that wasnt an exercise of free speech bc the fad thing is 1-factually incorrect and 2-genocidally harmful to repeat
it was hatespeech. even momentarily referring to this as free speech lends credibility to people who think they shouldnt face sanctions and cease and desist orders for shit like this
@georgetakei this is so weird. Everything I've ever heard is that Cooper was a really good guy in his day to day life. It makes me really sad to see this.
Oh well.
@georgetakei People feel that they should be able to say anything they want, but they reject the idea that listeners can react to that speech anyway they want. It's weird. After all, reacting to a conversation is also a sort of speech.
@georgetakei he's an ass. Has been for years now.
@georgetakei I’m memory serves, Alice Cooper is quite politically conservative. I think the mistake we humans make is to assume that our rock & roll heroes are left leaning, like us.
@georgetakei Well, I don't understand how it can be possible to have the freedom to be what you want to be and the lockdown about what you can think. (I don't know what he said).
@georgetakei
Always the low life...never changes
Maybe someone should make him watch this video that explains, in an understandable way, current knowledge about genetics and the factors that could be at play as to why not all of us feel at home in the (external) body we were born into.

YouTube saw fit to first run an "ad" (another YT video, a few minutes long) that argued being trans is a social contagion spread by popular media.
@georgetakei while I'm a fan of Alice Cooper (the band)...
...I'm less of a fan of Vinnie.
I do love myself some vinegar, but it's disappointing watching an individual in decline due to old age.
Not everyone ages well
