To play devil's advocate here for a minute... Yeah, what they said is shitty, but isn't everyone entitled to their own opinion and able to say whatever they want?
What about all these people saying they want the guys in Whirr to die or be horribly injured? Are they not also in the wrong? If they're entitled to that opinion, why aren't Whirr entitled to theirs?
Again, just playing devil's advocate. I still think what they did was shitty and won't support them, but they had every right to say it.

One tweet and everyone jumps on the "Oh, I never even liked Whirr" train.

Haha. Being a bigot is funny, isn't it?

Calling now!

Calling now!

WHAT DOES COLORED VINYL MEAN??

WHAT DOES COLORED VINYL MEAN??

oh silly ben, its not a matter of up votes or down votes, its a matter of you wanting to down vote it most likely because some one did up vote it. like youre trying to keep that douche status, which is fine with me.
 
but im not about arguing and getting this thread off topic. maybe ill find it in my schedule to make it to mondocon next year, hopefully you will be in attendance, and we can talk then. ill make sure to bring my baby powder...too-da-loo

Dan Terminus - The Wrath of Code coming to vinyl next year

They're going to retail for $80 + shipping, also 4 different colors.. I talked to Arik Roper about it about a week ago..

hows that halloween print gonna look on your wall?

Nah thats so fucking backwards. There's a line to be drawn. Outing serious offenders and criminals is something. This is petty, TMZ level reporting. Twitter is public and if it was a big deal it would have been brought out sooner. These are tweets from 2011 for gods sake.
 
Art can be appreciated regardless of the creator. Bad people can make good art. When I buy something I am buying the product. I guarantee quite a bit of the stuff you own digital or physical goods were created by (closeted) racists, bigots, anti-transgender ect.
 
But this isnt even the case here. If you want to not purchase from a collective band because one person doesn't line perfectly with your world views thats your prerogative. Its a free market. Everyone has something to hide. You'll never find a group of perfect people. Listen to the music.
 
Ive been a strong advocate for gay rights. I know people that are gay or pro-gay rights as well and have used the word "faggot" in some manner. Some people use it without thinking about the words meaning. To say im homophobic for listening or supporting this band is incomprehensible.
 
Unless their lyrics are homophobic or discriminatory explicitly and again physical evidence of hate crimes being committed (or he himself says he is homophobic in some manner). Until further notice, I will support the band. 
 
Edit: To add on. For example this is another recent artist's tweet that blew up. I would not support this artist at all in any manner.

I miss the days of the randomly inserted variant. 

Disney is doing a real great job of making me sick of Star Wars months before the movie even comes out. 

Give me sound quality or give me nothing! #blackvinylmatters

Alright, dude. We get it; Kess flips stuff. But I'm getting incredibly fucking tired of you pushing his buttons and trying to start shit in every goddamn thread. Grow the fuck up.
