context i think sexual harrassment/assault/noncery is just so tied to and part of the culture, like everyone is aware of it and everyone’s been affected by it yet nearly no one does shit, like people who’ve done awful things are just allowed in these spaces https://twitter.com/leotonybowman/status/1249651389971783680">https://twitter.com/leotonybo...

gigs aren’t safe they’re a breeding space for sexual assault especially of you girls and very little is done to protect them, this isn’t just by the bands but also by a lot of the lads there

idk if the uk scene is worse for this, i recon it is tbh but like, i’m tired of seeing about it and i just like cba with everyone like boarderline normalising this

ive like thought of all this for a while but the ptv doing nothing to protect their fan base that’s primarily young girls kicked this off

like in the scene back home it was so normalised i’d know the lads to avoid at gigs and they had such a large friend group/were pally w the bouncers that like if you reported owt nothing would happen n i just doubt that was specific to my hometown

anyways that’s probably the end of thread i think sm of my formative years was spent in this gig culture with all this tied into it and it’s caused more damage than maybe i’ve admitted but like i’m so tired of no one giving a shit about this kinda thing
