In the news

I'm sure the usual suspects will pile on me for being some sort of racism/rape apologist but if we bury the people who face up to their actions and publically explain why their views were wrong, what hope can we have that others will change their views and behaviour?

Stevie Ray Vaughan? I don't get the reference though.

Also, wasn't really replying to you in particular, sorry about that.

SRV was killed in a helicopter crash while on tour with Clapton.

Kind of a good thing if somebody does terrible shit and then takes responsibility for it.

Because he's so showed his change of heart and embrace of social responsibility with the Covidiot bullshit.

and Richie Valens and The Big Bopper and Patsy Cline and Ricky Nelson and Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines and Randy Rhodes and John Denver and Jim Croce and and and.

man's a fucking monster. he must be stopped!

PLS how has Clapton faced up to his actions?

Because he's so showed his change of heart and embrace of social responsibility with the Covidiot bullshit.

Of course not. That's not what I'm saying, was more talking about his vile behaviour in the 60s and 70s. The man is an antivaxxer cunt.

By openly and publicly talking about the racist things he said, why he had those beliefs, why they were wrong and what made him change his mind.

He also talks pretty openly about his track record of rape and other sexual violence, where that came from, and the guilt he carries for his actions.

the guilt he carries for his actions.

So he hasn’t faced real consequences.

Emotional guilt isn’t worth a damn thing, IMO. Jail time and civil reparation are the only meaningful punishments, not alleged inner guilt and turmoil. If he had used his fame and meaningful amounts of money to actively campaign against the issues he’s contrite about, it might be different.

I'm shouting into the void. I'll join in with the crowd. Fuck Eric Clapton, he's a racist rapist and antivaxxer.

For what its worth, he has donated tens of millions of dollars of money to charities related to his past demons and legal reparations with his ex-wife who was his victim (allegedly they became friends after their divorce). Not suggesting that in itself brings him redemption. I'm not even arguing that he deserves redemption. I was just trying to add a little nuance to the "he's a racist national front supporter and rapist" statement, thats all.

not telling anyone how to conduct themselves, just pointing out how silly you fucking sound when you say what you reckon is going on. not sure everything needs both sides'ing mate.

9/10 for effort tho.

Meh, just hopeful for a world with less nasty shit in it and I believe that discussion and being open to people changing is pretty much the only way the human race mght get there.

But fair enough, I'll continue to do me.

Clapton definitely killed John Denver with dodgy aviation fuel.

He filled up his Cessna.

Wtaf!

And that's why we need The Boys...

Where was he when Aaliyah and Kobe Bryant died?

Nuance? I didn’t know he was a kiddy fiddler as well. The man’s a monster.

I'm assuming that Spider-Man has been remanded in custody
