Respect the government killing queer people in the name of homophobia! Respect apartheid! Respect not being able to vote! Respect Jewish people being deported with a train! Respect being stoned to death for being gay or a woman in general! 

 

RESPECT THE LAW! 

So let’s see how you came up with this brilliant reply.

 

Matty kisses a guy in a country where he agreed to perform and accepted their invite  > people call him out for being rude and disrespectful in a very conservative country that even PDA for straight couples is not common and considered inappropriate  > you come on atrl and say that respecting laws for countries YOU agree to go to and perform = agreeing with Nazis that committed horrible crimes ? 
 

this thread is getting out of hand tbh

It has been explained many times that queer community in Malaysia do not support the gov approach but it becomes more and more clear to me that you are blaming them for being coward and helpless. It's easier to talk considering you live in safer place unlike those people who need to face threat every single day. At this point you are just being ignorant and tone deaf.

So selfish of the 1975 now the other local musicians who need these gigs will lose money or the opportunity to play for a big crowd just because some British rich guy wanted to be an edge lord

What’s edgey about two men kissing

I recommend Matty to go to Dubai and have an orgy on stage to advocate for women rights, LGBTQ+ rights and sexual freedom! Please save them Matty from their government! :clap3:

The Malaysian government should be ashamed of their bigoted selves. What a backward country.

He did speak against Dubai’s gay laws on stage and kiss a guy. He’s banned from there.

How did I blame the people of Malaysia? I came exclusively for that one user saying that respecting the laws is what helps. And added some examples for why that was never a good idea, ever.

mind you, it's literally illegal even for STRAIGHT (even married) couple to show PDA there, what makes you think it's suddenly okay for gays like :dies: 

 

also he literally didn't even sing anything (which is HIS JOB) and ranting while drinking being drunk on stage instead

This is an important point! Malaysia is very conservative in general. It's like he knew nothing about the culture he was going into.

The dramatics for their government but considering he did this for attention, screw him. The thing is that this affect more people than his band.

A straight man kissing a gay guy to protest is not the serve he thinks it is. All it does it perpetuate the stigma that gays are sex demons

Especially in a country/culture where even married straights aren't allowed to publicly kiss each other.

He's not the one doing those things. If the situation is that bad then the festival shouldn't exist in the first place and international artists who are happy to perform there should be treated the same as the ones who go to Israel.

He isn't the one doing it but two cis straight men kissing on stage does nothing for the LGBTQ+ community in Malaysia but cause more harm and attacks from the government and queerphobic locals. Now he's getting praised on socials by white westerners for being a savior and activist while queer Malaysians suffer the consequences. 😍😍😍

 

And Israel is committing ethnic cleansing as we speak. Let's not get things mixed up now.

It does nothing because the country as a whole seems to be suffering from Stockholm syndrome.

Great, let's blame the queer people there for being stockholm syndrome'd. Spoken like a true privileged gay from the comfort of his safe country where it's legal to be himself. 👏🏻👏🏻
