If I may follow up on my comment and butt into this 'jerk, I have nothing against legalizing gay marriage and I don't really care about Pussy Riot, but lately these have appeared to me as memes instead of legitimate causes. Half-assed tweets and videos where you say one sentence don't do much in the long run.
And while these issues aren't too terribly controversial, I fear they will start supporting more "movements" and begin dividing their fanbase.
One day it's Pussy Riot and gay marriage, the next day it's "check your white privilege" and "fight the patriarchy".

haha i love the lingering look they all give the camera after deakin finishes talking. It's only for two seconds, but it feels so much longer. i kind of wished after that they just took their shirts off and started making out with each other.

I don't see why they'd lose fans if they start supporting movements. I'd still listen to AC regardless of their political views.

I agree with ya El.
I like AC because I like the music. I don't base my opinion of them on their opinions of other things.
I would hope that all fans have that mindset.
Sweet, so your one piece of "evidence" was fallacious but you might still be correct! Which seems like it would just be a coincidence at this point.
I'm not sure why you think the fallacy fallacy is relevant... He didn't even say your claim must be wrong, he was just pointing out your reasoning was dumb. There's a big difference between "No" and "Not necessarily"

So true! Ever since I found out Avey hates Pan's Labryinth and Mangolia, I don't like him as much.

Dude look at their faces in the vid. It's like they are all about to have a good chuckle. Super awkward.
ugh, not the human rights campaign... they are transphobic, politically-motivated, and a shining example of what's wrong with "mainstream gay"
i'm sure the band, like most supporters of the HRC, are unaware of this, which is part of why the HRC sucks so much (they are basically the sole representative of "LGBT interests" in the US (despite not actually representing the T part))
