It is performance art.

He is opening up the internet's hate and letting it flow into him.

i knew a dude in high school who didnt like any metal except for disturbed

Imipolex G

calling Disturbed metal is an insult to metal.

Odradek

Still cooler than Eddie Vedder.

Salix Babylonika

calling Disturbed Disturbed is an insult to Disturbed and to the disturbed and disturbing

Writing a song based on Ishmael is so irrevocably lame it taints everything else you do.

Imipolex G

Eddie Vedder isn't a bad guy.

He's just someone who isn't very bright and became a victim of a backlash caused by social forces well beyond his level of understanding.

It's the same sort of thing that happened to Macklemore, actually.

Writing a song based on Ishmael is ten times worse than thinking you were gay because you could draw.

I wonder what would happen if I tweeted "I OPPOSE #GamerGate. PEOPLE/THE MEDIA, ARE TOO DAMN EMOTIONALLY SENSITIVE FOR THEIR OWN GOOD. DONT LIKE WHATS IN THE GAME? DONT BUY/PLAY IT."

Is he Jewish because he looks like a skinhead

Obā-san

being bald doesnt make you a skinhead and most skinheads arent racist

Imipolex G

glennmagusharvey

Some skinheads are racist.

All skinheads are bald.

I thought skinhead was a term reserved for neo-nazis?

That said, it is unfair to automatically assume that anyone who saves their head is Davis Aurini.

i'm not sure to what extent they're still active, but there are anti-fascist skinhead movements too, or have been

but originally skinheads were British working class youth movement that listened to a lot of ska

the racism thing came in later

Odradek

What's the difference between a moose and a ska band?

A moose has horns in the front, and an asshole in the back!
