if your convictions were a passing faith

I don't think I've seen anyone post about it yet but last night Gerard said something about Rich Costey, their mixing engineer, and specifically said "he was doing some mixing for us last week"... Which is absolutely not for danger days because that would've gone to press months ago...

Source clip on this if anyone wants to hear it from Gerard. they literally Said That

they are awarding me an honorary doctorate for my work on tumblr.com

Five stages of grief and humiliation every time the band tries to engage with political themes. Attempt at satire of fascism gone uncomfortable and insensitive speedrun

does anyone remember when the black parade was the band that greeted you after death and marched you into the afterlife or am i the only one

Tbh I do think this is just an inbuilt screen at wembley stadium and someone realized oh shit we can use that let me make up a little nonsense to fit (since the jail cell/wheat field/character cams from other legs wouldn't work there) and probablyyyy did not really think about/realize how it would come off. Like I do not think this was an intentional visual reference. That does not make it any less uncomfortable/insensitive obviously but it's highly possible this was such a small/quick thing that it was just not shown to enough people ahead of time for anyone to catch it. They should still change it though

It's really not that hard to not include holocaust imagery in your rock opera

the mexican football team has a 17 yrs old player and one of the funniest outcomes of this is that he cannot appear in any ad for gambling or drinking so he only appears in candy and milk advertisements. his first world cup and he's not even legally allowed to drive. his nickname is "morita" (little berry). he's three apples tall.

i reject that the problem here is just the depiction of fascism itself. you can do that, you can do that well. the problem here is that NOBODY said "hm let's maybe not make it say that".

oh and this is really gonna make yall mad. why is this blowup coming now when there's been sensitivity problems throughout the whole production. why is this one uniquely uncomfortable. i'm saying this as a jewish person, allusions, intentional or unintentional, to bad things we've gone through are not uniquely offensive or off limits to depict. not more than any other victims of atrocities under fascism.

the world is my whale carcass
