Fiona Dodwell: "Misunderstanding Morrissey: Sparks and the steady drip, drip, drip of slander" (July 15, 2020)

"One wonders whether the vocal Morrissey detractors have delved much beyond the surface of NME's clickbait headlines and the lefty identity politics of formerly reputable publications like The Guardian."

But.......he has a big thing for Palestinians and a bit of a bad rep with the dews. Plus, he crawled about pretending to be a cat on national telly. I'll never get those images out of my mind.

2020, what can you say.

Did @GodEmperorMorrissey just get banned or something? His user title says "On Timeout" and now he won't stop DMing me.

Morrissey has his opinions, you have yours. It's time to stop being childish and accept viewpoint diversity.

Morrissey can have different opinions, but a mass majority doesn’t agree with them.. hence the downfall of his ticket & album sales

He was on a warning, wasn't he?

I don't know how that works - maybe he posted too much in a short space of time? Or said something MORE dreadful than usual????

Except the thousands that risked their lives at the start of the pandemic to see him last perform. A fact that doesn’t bode well when folks bring out sale charts and ratings to show the so-called loss of appreciation and enduring LOVE for Morrissey.

Moz has a semi sizable but rather declining diehard fanbase that will support him no matter what while the GP is still over him but I applaud you guys for the effort...

Cancel culture.

Has GEM cancelled himself ?

I weirdly don't like being too mean to him. I feel a bit guilty about Travis.

He's still a worldwide superstar. He has always had some opinions that not everybody agrees with. It's called being an interesting individual. In the past everybody accepted viewpoint diversity and would laugh off some of his more extreme opinions as eccentric. Now they throw their toys out of the pram and scream "Hate Speech!" Morrissey has never changed - the public have (or at least some of them).

What happened to Travis?

What happened to Travis?

Nothing, I was just a little cutting with him, so I feel bad.

 

[HengeBoy]

Yet nowhere to be seen in the Australian, Canadian, and USA Charts with their last album, but GLOBAL according to you

Put that energy elsewhere. Hopefully Travis is laying face down in a gutter somewhere.

Charts? Morrissey is an alternative artist. He's not Beyonce or Katy Perry.

Spoken like a true liberal (which is why I never trust their supposed "benevolence").
