That's very much to not give terfs any more ammunition or a symbol to rally around. She's not going to be their "LGBT community insider who turned against them" in their narrative and a lot of them are dogpiling her replies about that. You can call it the bare minimum if you like but there is room to grow, for everyone, there are no perfect allies and hopefully in private she's open to dialogue with her trans contacts. I appreciate the optimism but TERFs are still up in her replies screaming "you shouldn't apologize for the truth!!", "you are being silenced by the mob!!1" and harassing her gay fans that were calling her out. At this point she will have to properly chop them in order to get any kind of redemption I fear 1
Kern Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 I think she will release another statement soon. There's too much happening
hétérosexuelle Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 I will still check the album out on streaming 2
liquiddiamonds Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) Why another statement if we already know how she actually feels? 🧐 now that it has hurt pockets and her album rollout it would feel cynical. Just listen to the record if you still want to. Most of the base is jumping ship because they want to. I grew up on her music, but it’s a bye bye Edited August 31, 2023 by liquiddiamonds 3 3
Rigalo Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 Such a waste, I really thought this was gonna be my aoty for the last like two months 3

I mean it’s not like the album will suddenly become bad because of her being bad person. It’s also DJ Koze’s work 1

It did bite her in the ass but if it urges her to do her research, I don't see a problem with it 4 2

It’s also DJ Koze’s work I just can’t even listen to it now, I still had the singles in my playlist as everything was going down and it actively made the music less enjoyable to me, my hype went from 100 to zero I don’t blame those who will still enjoy the album but I’m personally just not interested anymore 2
theweekend Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 the way twitter is now calling her J. K. Roisin/J.K. Murphy 2

It would be highly cynical for her to have a change of mind now that there’s a backlash and is hurting her brand financially. It feels very naive to wait for this. Just like the it’s also DJ Koze’s album argument lol Just listen to the thing and save us from excuses to support her… 4 4
4Real Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 The covers are all so so so cool. Too bad she f'ed up. I'll still check it out tho 1

Individually, as we're all adults, we can decide for ourselves if we feel ok to stream the album - with that I'm very confliced because I was hyped before this whole controversy and now, as a former stan, feel betryed and her statement almost made cry because I felt like a lost a hero. That's why I don't appreciate your comments like that - I only posted that she'll probably release another statement because I felt like she's about to say final goodbye to her career. How did you interpret this as me being naive for her to apologize - idk? I doubt she's about to drop any apology now or trying to save her face, she already had time to think about it and she decided what she decided. I strongly disagree with calling someone her supporter because of DJ Koze argument. It's just another thing to note for people like me who are conflicted about Hit Parade and is one of many thing to consider in argument that I still think is up to mods to decide, certainly not you lol

Stay waiting for her apology after showing her true colors and making excuses to still overlook her commentary. It’s up to you. I’m trans myself so I can be here telling how it is for me 3 2

Like who are you fighting here with?

Like who are you fighting here with? There’s no fight. Just hate tangential excuses for still supporting it. It is what it is. You and others can say in full chest the commentary is something you will get over with because of the music instead of expecting anything from someone who doubled down her stance and is not about to show any true remorse
Kern Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 https://www.standard.co.uk/culture/music/roisin-murphy-new-album-interview-hit-parade-b1103527.html She just dropped new interview

This night just be damage control. It's not even really confirmed that they're doing it, I'd be shocked if a record label was willingly sacrificing profits given how many ghouls in the industry are still backed by their labels

Still not willing to stream, hype ruined.
That Bad Eartha Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 It's a fairly indie label, I don't think they are as crazy profit/business over humanity at all costs driven as a lot of labels, so I don't see why they would lie about it
Draper. Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 It’s not like either Róisín or the label are making that much money out of the record streams to begin with She has 1m monthly listeners in the middle of an album campaign.
Jooj Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 Lol her most controversial era, at least theres that. The terf mess is very disappoiting but i think its still at a point where you can apply the "art not artist" treatment. You Knew is one of my favorite songs of hers. I adore CooCool too. Faded and The Universe arent as immaculate but theyre good songs too. I feel like the album will be amazing.
