His password was “IFUCKKIDZ” spelled as indicated. That’s the disturbing part, it’s like internally, he was proud of it. No shame.
If you ever watched Chris Hansen’s old To Catch A Predator series, or his new series, these guys usually find a way to delude themselves into thinking they’re not the way they are, or that they’re somehow helping the victim, and I can only assume they lie to themselves because they know what they are doing is wrong and feel some shame.
Not Ian Watkins. He was proud of it. Ugh. Later in the video, after the password, you find out he even bragged about it. I had to stop there, I couldn’t even finish the video (linked by OP in comment).
Yeah. Charlie “Normie Jesus” Moistcritical is not the best person to look to for takes on nuanced situations. But he is of the age to have grown up loving lostprophets and did a REALLY good video summarizing how massively fucked up an evil all of this is.
Like, most 80s bands have blatant pedophiles involved. And as much as I love the lead singer on twitter, Eve 6 has some fucked up stories associated with them. But all of this is “normal” carnie/musician bullshit. ian watkins is on a completely different levels of evil.
Some bands and artists you try to ignore the “controversy” in favor of separating the art from the artist. Others are so massively fucked up that you fundamentally cannot.
Oh dear, I don’t know any of the Eve6 controversy… Nothing on Wikipedia for the band, and a quick Google search just gives results about them boycotting Spotify. What should I be looking for?

Nothing too bad relative to contemporaries (like I said, carnie/musician bullshit normalizes a lot of crap) but a LOT of “groupie” stories.
