    Yeah. I find that a lot in very disparate genres, too. I pretty much have to look up anyone I like more than a little now.

          It really comes down to ‘that’s the default setting for most of humanity.’

          Here on Lemmy, we like to think we’re all very tolerant, enlightened, liberal minded people. But the outside world really isn’t quite as open minded. And there’s way more backwards troglodytes out there than we like to think.

        I mean, he started out on YouTube with the name “Fa**otron”, that got my alarm bells ringing from the outset.

            Very important to note there is one “g” in fagott. The number of "t"s can vary by language, but it’s always one “g”.

            I didn’t know that! Also looking up his old handle from another source does indeed confirm that his old handle used just one g.

            Still fucking sus though. Especially as he’s a remix artist.

      When I found out about the guy from Crystal Castles 10 years after the fact… Yea major bummer. Sucks he’s a POS and the things he’s done, and the cherry on top is now I can’t enjoy their music again.

        Fuck, I remember the news with Alice Glass’ allegations back when they came out, but I wasn’t aware there were others, and they were underage.

        Alice is still making music, no reason not to support her as far as I know.

      …oh no. I’ve listened to him for ages. And due to a shitty shuffle I ended up with high listening hours. I remember his first handle and just told myself it was regarding the slang for cigarette. I’ll be going down this rabbit hole, thanks for the heads up …oh no
