    Harcore vocalist on a litteral stage calling somebody out for wanting to be the center of attention and suggesting they should conform is some olympian level bullshit.

    The desire for nonconformity is evidently limited to the institutes this band disapproves of.

    What’s really crazy is that the picture in the thumbnail is clearly outside with a plain banana suit, but the article shows a video of a sparkly banana at an inside gig, indicating that this isn’t an isolated incident of banana flavoured xenophobia.

    Edit: ITT, OP loses their mind over a duplicate post.

      You have multiple accounts and chose to use them all to comment the same thing?

      Edit: for all those who come this way, just close this comment chain. It’s a mess. But yeah their client bugged out and they did not like that very much.

      spoiler

      So if anyone was interested they are also Javi and MrGoosMoos

        Nah it said failed to post on one so I used another (its literally just pressing a button, don’t even need to rewrite the comment on blorp) removed one once I’d noticed both posted.

          3 times, with 3 accounts. It had a hell of a hiccup. I don’t even have 1 spare.

          Also is Blorp the app or something?

            3 times? Its was twice, unless the first account that said failed to post actually posted it twice? Checked and its definitely just the one duplicate. “Not 3 times by 3 different accounts” lol.

            Blorp is a fediverse client. Its not uncommon to have multiple accounts on the fediverse, due to differences in federation.

            Why do you think its so egregious that I posted this comment?

              I just read the rest of the chain. I’m sorry that I’ve caused you such trouble. I didn’t expect people to get so bothered by a simple little copypasta.

              I dont think the comment is egregious so calm down. I just thought it was wild that I got the same comment 3 times from 3 accounts.
              It was more just a comical idea and use of alt accounts compared to the usual for upvoting your own stuff to make yourself seem popular or to use to get around bans.

              You just had to make sure you were seen being shocked by banana.

              And, neat! I really only know my voyager and some of the web app ones and went with my instance because its pretty widely federated. I am bad at diversifying and figured this was easier.

              Tap for spoiler

              You should check for a comment from goosmoos since you got Javi.

                Ironic that you’d tell me to calm down when you’re the one blowing this out of proportion lol, I just wanted to make a fucking joke about a banana and then suddenly faced an interrogation.

            gotta love when things are misinterpreted on the internet eh

            and thanks for crossing out my name in your comment. it’s risky for me to be associated with another account I don’t know. what if they were something disgusting, like being left wing, and people confused me for that? that would be terrible, just terrible. my reputation would never recover. couldn’t have people thinking I’m a half decent person.

        Honestly, yeah. People usually champion what they are afraid of or what their own mind is focused on.

        This idea of punishing others for what they are personally thinking is one of my least favorite human quirks. Its a very self centered reality.

    If I was a singer of a band and people showed up in costumes. I would get them on stage, celebrate their whimsy, and encourage more fans to show up in costumes.

    A most pit with a bunch of people in costumes, that sounds like fun.

    “Banana guy, come to the front. Fk are you doing, my n*a?”

    I don’t understand why young white people feel ok saying this word. (Apologies if I’m wrong, I get the sense from the bit I skimmed that it’s probably a white band. I see bodycam vids with white kids saying this all the time. Why?)

      I dont understand why youre ok with some demographic using something and others not, its a weird and divisive take.

      Youre obviously ok with it in this instance, but youre still burning calories getting worked up about a scenario that isnt here.

      Googling the singers or bands name would have been so much easier for you than writing your comment that just looks malplaced.

        My comment remains true even though others pointed out that I was wrong to assume the singer is white. Why do white kids think it’s ok to use that word? I didn’t burn calories. You wasted time, not me.
