I'm sure this thread's about to be locked in 3, 2, 1 (or 1-2-8)...
 
But just wondering about the Dicky anti-vax theory, is that true? I recently read this interview, where he talks about togetherness through live music:
 
https://digboston.com/the-dig-interviews-dicky-barrett/
 
This passage doesn't sound like most Covid truther stuff I've seen, more that if they can't play like they always have, and in unsafe circumstances, it's not worth it to him, which is quite different:
 
"Now having said all that, I think there’s going to be a time when people are ready to get back into venues and to see live music the way we’ve always known it to be and what we fell in love with. I think people are probably going to take chances and they’re willing to risk their life, but I’m not sure if it’s going to be for us, so time will tell."

That's a bit much for two "exclamation points." Gaslighting much>? lol
 
Doubling down on vax mandates seems completely logical, to me. It was pretty obvious that they worked the first time, so let's do it again so it can work even more.

Oh dang, bro! Damn, that sucks bro! My great uncle died too. He was 97 years old and I'm pretty sure it was covid that finally caught him. In fact, I know it wasn't heart disease because the hospital told me so. And they would never lie about anything like that. What would they have to gain, y'know?
 
I like to virtue signal too but it really sucks when people are dying and then we find out that it's all because of guys like Dicky Barret, that selfish guy.

My neighbor plays hockey and is in good shape. He didn't get the vaxx and only had a mild form of covid. I'm pretty sure he's the anti-christ. The little device in my pocket where the groups form told me so.

I'm vaxxed, so I got government ants in my pants. Dicky Barret is my enemy.
 
Must crush Capitalism!
 

 
 

Welp, here come the toxic tribe of vaxxers with their confused little faces.
 
"Government told me to hate you. Government never lies. Government is my friend. Government keeps me safe."
 

 
Nevermind that the vaccines don't actually work and that we were lied to about comorbidities. Let's continue to hate our neighbors because our governments took away our freedoms and said guys like Dicky Barret are the reason why we can't have them back. ..
 
Fuck that guy and his body his choice. I wanna be part of the tribe!

Making light of the Millions that have died world wide including some of my family members is sure what the Mighty Mighty Bosstones would have wanted.  Mission Accomplished

I'm hoping they take 100 of the Swamp Green variant and add a zippo lighter and screen print for $100.

Immediately did not order. 

What?  Really?  Wild take but to each their own.  I say this as someone who was fanatical about this band in the early 2000s but will now give each new album a half-hearted listen just to make sure they’re safe to shit on.
“Delayed realization.”

Very cool. Mine had made in Canada printed on the plastic. From her store. 
 
so weird. 

Crisis of vinyl prices.

What the hell? No. Where is the tipping point on vinyl prices? With shipping it's gonna be like $40 for a single LP on black vinyl that cost <$5 to make? White is stuck in a Deluxe of stuff I'd expect to just be in a good regular pressing (minus stickers).

lets party!

There's also a lot of grey area.
 
I am highly skeptical when someone complains about a person's behavior only after having spent significant time with them. If she thought his behavior was so misogynistic then why did she continue talking to him and hanging out with him after the first glimpse of such behavior? Like if he said "Hey tits, let me buy you a drink." and she let's him buy her a drink, can she really complain about being called "tits" after the fact? She enabled it and gave him the go-ahead that she was ok with it by going along with it and not halting the behavior right there. Chances are she enjoyed the attention initially and only changed her tune after the fact. I've seen it happen countless times. Girl likes guy, girl hangs out with guy, girl learns guy isn't as serious about her as she is about him, girl gets upset, girl turns everything from the past in to a malicious act. 🤷‍♂️

Sounds more like someone's running on pure emotion.
 
I also find fault with the whole "grooming" complaint. Are we not supposed to be friendly to people anymore? Is every transaction supposed to go from stranger to sex with no getting to know someone?
 
Also, she was 21. She's a grown woman. At what point are we responsible for our own actions and decisions?
 
As for the going for a second round while she's asleep... if that's true that's absolutely disgusting. But none of us were there, so there really is no way for any of us to know for sure unless someone openly admits to it. It would be wrong for us to make assumptions either direction.
 
People go multiple rounds of sex in one night all the time and it's not malicious. There's too much grey area in this story. Is Ray a creep? Probably.  But she sounds like one too.
 
Sounds like it was just a toxic relationship in general that she was a consensual participant in. This feels like something I might've said about my ex after our toxic relationship ended and I realized how dumb I was for going along with it for so long. I do feel for her and what she endured because toxic relationships can be quite damaging, but the moment I "matured" was when I stopped blaming my ex for things that I actively participated in and enabled. Doesn't mean my ex was a saint, but doesn't mean I have to destroy their livelihood either.
 
Hopefully both parties can learn something from the experience, move forward, and grow.

I don't have screenshots, but it was supposedly written by the other woman in the story, I believe her name was Stacy and she was dating Ray at the time.  In it, she picked apart the victim's behavior in very much the same way you just did (congrats on thinking the exact same way as every other rape apologist in this toxic scene).
Masked Intruder shared the post without comment, only to delete it and post this bullshit after receiving blowback.  The post and comments under it should hopefully clear your personal burden of proof that TBR's post existed.
Bottom line, Ray is not a safe person for women to be around, and the reason this shit never changes is these guys get their scene-bros to back them up, as you've done, congrats on fulfilling your duty.  The band was quietly dropped from this year's Fest lineup.  Look at their fb for about a week after 7/21, the date the podcast came out.  All the comments were turned off on their posts, but not on the post about the podcast so they could do damage control.  The band managed to semi-successfully sweep this under the rug.
And Fat still chose to put out their new album.
