Ooh thanks for posting this! I have Inlet but hadn't listened to this release before. Loving it.

There are a lot of reasons, but I think this article does a good job of listing the main criticisms: https://www.themarysue.com/the-autism-speaks-controversy-explained/

But in a nutshell:

• They frame autism as a disease that needs curing
• None of their board members are autistic
• They spread fear and misinformation about autism
• As a charity, embarrassingly little of their money goes to actually doing anything for autistic people

Oh yes, what a great album!

I've always thought "separate the art from the artist" should be a conversation, not a hard and fast rule. I've never heard White Freckles so I don't really have an opinion on this. But if the track is meaningful and brings beauty to people's lives, that's valid despite the artist being a piece of shit.

There are some artists where I feel the artist's behaviour does not outweigh the impact of their work on my life, for example Eric Clapton, but there are other artists where I feel their work stands up despite the artist's actions (Prince, David Bowie).

Thanks, this was a good read. I'm glad there's growing resistance to the fash/nazi scenes in black metal.

Wow that looks amazing!

You know what's really cool? Crows share this knowledge, so there are crows out there who know you've done their crow friends a solid, and they'll look out for you. Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/likeus/comments/ctaif0/some_amazing_details_about_the_little_girl_who/

This features one of my favourite misheard lyrics: Give me a light beer!.

It's really good to see this. As a long-time metalhead who will never tolerate fascism and bigotry in this scene or anywhere else, I'm always enthused to see others push back against that bullshit too.

"sexual deviancy" aaah okay, you've shown us who you are now.
