Now, people going as far as assuming he's a woman hater or whatever is going TOO far. I say lots of things as a joke that don't represent what I am, and I'd hate to be accused that way.

What we say and how we behave is EXACTLY what we are judged on, jokes or not. It's how we represent ourself that forms people's opinions about us. And Frank's isn't making knock-knock jokes here, come on.

His tweets show a habit of mocking women and finding entertainment value in violence against women. From his digs at how females choose to style their hair, right through to laughing about 'battered' women and stating that a woman whose children she couldn't control should have given herself an abortion.

Now, the fact that he's not put 'I HATE ANYTHING WITH A VAGINA' on his weekly tweets is irrelevant. These things listed above are textbook misogynistic traits. And you're probably right; he doesn't guess that people will be offended by it. But that's because he's male, and doesn't have to deal with the issues concerned from his privileged position. He is ignorant to the problems with his own behavior. That isn't a 'get out of criticism free' pass, sorry.

This is exactly how violence and disrespect against women is allowed to flourish and continue unchallenged. Because people aren't called out on it, and remain ignorant to it. Because people like Frank do it, so hey, what can be wrong about it?

Frank is an adult, and in a position of power where his twittered words are broadcast to millions of impressionable people via the band's website.

You're right, people can just choose not to follow him. But his insults and blatant sexism is attached to a band who claim to respect women and empower them in what is traditionally a very sexist music scene.

I didn't come here to argue either. But I think the people defending Frank here really need to think about how Frank himself might be at fault, rather than leaping to his aid every single time.

Of course we can actully KNOW a person through 140 characters...

I am not mocking your opinions, far from it. I get that things that he says, his 'audience' will take it on the other way, the wrong way, but dude, if we just see black/white and forget the color in between, everything that people say and we don't agree/think it's an offense to gender/idek anymore we will never leave our houses or, if we do, we will argue with everyone that crosses our way.

[(Anonymous)]

How do you know people are taking what he says "the wrong way"? Perhaps you think you KNOW him? Hmmm...

[xanax-n-wine.livejournal.com]

it wasnt just about HIM, in particular. i meant that in general, because it's not just him who has a twitter and has the same problem. People who I actually KNOW and write things that people take in 'the wrong way' and the original poster isn't the way they're trying to see.

[(Anonymous)]

I think Frank's actually replied to someone who once pointed out that his statements were problematic. As I remember, it didn't go down so well with him. He got butthurt and started blocking people.

[yekith.livejournal.com]

And you DO know him?

[(Anonymous)]

I think that was your side's argument, actually. People who go online and talk crap get judged by the words they type, not the special circumstances they might potentially have and that will excuse them from fault.

[(Anonymous)]

Congratulations! You are now making no sense.

[yekith.livejournal.com]

Same for you then! You have the right to attack him without knowing him, I have the right to defend him if that's what I wanted to do. Though no, it's more about different points of view in general.

[(Anonymous)]

I am not attacking Frank personally. I am questioning the things he said. Big difference. One doesn't need to know someone to question their words.

[(Anonymous)]

The people you're talking to, including me, have reacted to many many comments by Frank that are offensive.

You are one of the people telling people they should not be offended, and claiming that if we could only read Frank's mind we would know he doesn't mean anything by it.

We're just claiming he's behaving like an idiot, which we don't need to 'know' him to spot.

[yekith.livejournal.com]

never said people should not be offended, just said i don't agree with everything being said. Your opinion, my opinion.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, cause the snow god -who of course exists and has a body like all of us- is a woman (though Frank said "it" and "God") and is surely pretty offended now. Is it just as offensive if the snow god used to be a man and got a sex change?

Please...

I'm sorry, I thought this was some sarcastic attempt to close down all issue with Frank's statement. My bad!

[(Anonymous)]

There is no possible way that whatever 'colors' or shades Frank's humor has could make it right to disrespect women the way he has been doing lately. And if it's hard for him to convey his sophisticated points in 140 characters the perhaps he should shut the fuck up next time he feels on picking on women just for the hell of it.

[(Anonymous)]

And all those People of Color should have just stayed indoors too and turned the other cheek instead of getting so uppity and offended, amirite? GET A CLUE.
