I've been made aware of someone on LiveJournal using the name "VeritaVenom" to post MCR fics.
I want to make clear that, not only is this person NOT me, but that it's likely a troll with an ax to grind. You have to admit that having an MCR fan with this name is a bit too much to be coincidence.
I hope you all realize by now that I'm definitely not one for writing or even reading fics, and I have nothing whatsoever to do with those bands or their fandom. Aside from the fact, obviously, that this blog is A Big Deal in the minds of their fans.
I am flattered and surprised that this blog has become big enough to be something of a legend. I'm a little gratified that it still inspires people like you guys and apparently upsets enough fangirls/boys that we are still in their headspace.
VertiaVenom, meaning THIS blog, the real VeritaVenom, (not the shabby LJ fangirl copy), the original... is not even me.
It's YOU. VeritaVenom is you.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 3137 Newer› Newest»Now he's getting death threats.
People complain about this blog though as far as I'm aware we don't go out of our way to threaten anyone. If he took those threats seriously those girls would see themselves in considerable trouble.
Same thing happened to Josh Thomas as far as I remember. And all he did was call MCR emo.
LOL! Poor guy. I love this reply to this person that said that MCR fans are a family.
@KilljoysUnited I look forward to reading it. You're not a 'family', by the way, you're a coven of outrageous dickheads

Why the hell does Gerard want to look starving?
Good on you MCRmy, make the band you love so much a complete parody in the rock world.
Same reason he cut and bleached his hair so he would look like a cancer patient, yet he claims on this album they aren't playing characters. I think all of the hair color has damaged his brain.
You think he had one in the first place?
Mmmm wonders...
Good on you MCRmy, make the band you love so much a complete parody in the rock world.
Don't forget about the killjoys the band has unleashed on the world. Things will only get worse.
I think Ray got all sensitive because he probably didn't think the ray guns were such a great idea in the first place and may have been convinced by GW and JU who probably were both giving each other high fives over all the 'pop art'.
Is 'killjoy' supposed to be a play on words or something? because generally being called that is considered a bad thing...
Seems like Luke Lewis is becoming more dangerous than MCR.
LOL! One of the MCdensity's think Ray could become anorexic over the love handles comment.
ihatelukelewis...yeah
So much for karma, seems like it's in full swing here.
^
I think whoever tweeted that were referring to teens getting the wrong idea from the article and developing anorexia as a result.
Okay, that was directed at 5:15.
Anorexia is a psychological disorder, unless you're admitting some of their fanbase may have underlying mental problems. Anorexia is not "catchy".
Have you guys actually read some of the tweets these dumb MCRmy kids are making? One girl was even saying that NME might have to "shut down" over this incident?
LMAO. Like a bunch of teenage imbeciles is going to get a magazine that's been around since the 1950's shut down because they said Ray Toro has love handles.
This is the kind of person who follows MCR. I hope they're proud of their fanbase.
I think I love this Luke Lewis guy.
I wish I had a twitter so I could tell this man how much I adore him.

Sorry, the first link didn't work.
Anyone have a link to the NME article? I just wanna see what all the fuss is about.
NME scans in this post.
LOL @Gerard talking about religious "whackos" in that article when MCR's fans act exactly the same way.
This debacle could do more to damage MCR's credibilty than the Daily Mail protest did. I hope NME or some other rag does a piece on the death threats.
Way to make your heroes look like idiots, MCRmy!
Hate breads hate.
Oh God. I'm having way too much fun with this. I haven't run across an incident this funny in a long time.
The only criticism I had about the article was the lack of punctuation, but according to Luke Lewis, that was just in the copy posted on the fansite. He said the actual magazine was fine.
I like Luke Lewis. He wrote an article about KOL's video for Radioactive which was essentially asking "WTF were they thinking?".
I'm a huge KOL fan, but I have to admit that I thought that video was sort of crap too. Unlike MCR fans, I can admit that the bands I like aren't perfect. KOL has a huge following. Way more than MCR, but I didn't see any death threats being made over them.
What I find hilarious is that the people making death threats to this Luke Lewis are the same ones who come here and call us fat.
^and the mcr wackos are telling LL he has a huge nose and no upper lip in retaliation for him ragging on somebody's appearance.
@lukelewis I hope you know that the MCRmy is not gonna back off. We're a family, and you've insulted us. Expect great amounts of hate mail.
That's hilarious! Not a real person surely?!
I actually think Gerard is turning into a girl.
I just heard MCR's Zero Percent, and I have to say it's just awful. It sounds like something MSI would do. What happened to this band?

MSI.
^ MSI & The Zoid happened.
Luke Lewis responds.
Someone so needs to post this on ontd.
I just heard MCR's Zero Percent, and I have to say it's just awful.
I agree. It's generic and not even very good techno.
Jeebus Christ, Zero Percent is to a new level horrible. Can they sound any more like MSI?
Thanks MCR, I almost puked up my Cherrios listening to your crap. It was only 54 seconds of listening.
I am now going to pamper my ears to some H.I.M. :]
Welcome to our world, Luke.
:D
That’s the thing about internet hate campaigns – after something’s been retweeted a few times, it becomes unbuckled from reality and the whole thing spirals off into an alternate, hate-filled dimension where everyone’s a monstrous bellend. This is a problem, because right now we could do with a bit of moderation. In a world where a man can be prosecuted for telling a joke on Twitter, perhaps it’s time the internet as a whole took a deep breath, counted to ten, and asked themselves: is it really worth getting worked up about?
Yepindeedie Luke.
MCR fans need to realize that not everyone is going to take Comic-Book-Trash-Art-Eletro-Punk seriously. I'm afraid that this blow-up with NME is only the beginning.
Other magazines and entertainment sites are probably going to take issue with the silliness of the whole Killjoy thing, what with the rayguns and the techicolor costumes, especially given that it comes on the heels of Gerard's ridiculous Patient character.
Is the MCRmy going to come out in full force for every single journalist and blog writer who thinks the band needs to ditch the bright red hair dye and grow up a little? If so, they're going to be busy little bees in the next few weeks.
@lukelewis If Ray Toro leaves the band it's all your fault for ruining 5 million people's lives
All of this for saying the dude has love handles.
From a recent interview:
Hmmm... it sounds like something from Lady Gaga's stage show. "Not to badmouth her at all, but I always felt we'd been doing that sort of thing for a long time," he (Way) interjects. "I actually love her. I was truly inspired to see someone embrace art in the way she had. That's what we had always hoped to do. She's inspiring for sure. We had always been inspired by Queen. So to see someone take their name from a Queen song and for them to do the Elton John/Bowie thing... I love how she challenges people. It's a positive."
The similarities run deeper than you might think. Much as Lady Gaga claims a special relationship with her fans -- her "Little Monsters" -- My Chemical Romance have forged intense ties with their audience, dubbed the "MCArmy". "We've been talking to our kids like that for a long time," says Way. "It was cool to see someone else doing that. We definitely have that in common."
Lol. Gerard thinks he invented Lady Gaga.
i hope you all would allow me to ramble for a second. I don't like/dislike MCR.However, if anyone pays attention as to when albums are leaked then you'll notice that Kanye,Taylor Swift, and KOL's album have all been leaked for several weeks now, KOLs going about a month. Which means that a lot of people will go and download it before its even been released. I will admit that I have looked for MCRs becuase i'm (i'll admit to this too) curious about it. Haven't been able to find it. I've checked just about every site for leaked albums and nothing has turned up for me.
So before we go on and say that these top performers will outsell MCR, i think we better wait for about a week and see what happens.
MCR's album also has about 10 more days to be leaked in too, so nothing is determined yet in my mind.

sorry about the double post guys
I don't think MCR could possibly sell more than a million copies in one week (which Taylor Swift did).
TBP only sold about 3 and a half million copies (worldwide). I don't really see how this new record, released 4 years later, with more and more people downloading now, is going to top that.
I don't think it matters too much whether or not an album leaks. The day after it's available to buy, Danger Days will be all over the internet to download. Internet savvy people know that.
What it boils down to with sales vs. downloads is whether or not a band's fanbase is willing to pay for the music or not.
Taylor Swift, Kanye West and KOL have very different fanbases than MCR. MCR's fanbase is much more likely to download than they are.
Gerard loves GaGa cuz the wife loves GaGa. She said so once on Twitter.
BTW, I saw Ray in a recent interview. He does look sorta big now. It explains why he's so sensitive about the weight comment.
MCR will never outsell KOL. Forget Swift and West. They just aint big enough.
KOL's album was the number one record in the world the week it was released (#2 in the US, behind some country band). They were #1 in the UK for 2 weeks. I think they're still hanging in at #5 in the world their 3rd week out.
I don't see MCR pulling that off.
Its just my opinion guys, but i do also believe that all the leaked downloading will have some effect (affect?).
I don't know when Taylor Swift of Kanye's albums leaked, but obviously, it didn't hurt Taylor.
KOL's Come Around Sundown leaked about a week and a half to two weeks before it was released. I downloaded it, but bought it anyway when it came out. I honestly don't think the link hurt them at all.
Luke Lewis is a dickhead and he'll get fired over this. Wait and see. The MCRMY is legion.
The MCRMY is legion.
What?
Honestly? I think that Luke Lewis and NME did this deliberately. I think they set out to make fools of MCR and their fans. I think they knew how the fans would react and they set out to hurt the band with this.
I think they knew how the fans would react and they set out to hurt the band with this.
No I don't think so. What's in it for them? Nothing. Luke Lewis admitted he was a fan of MCR. One mis-timed comment and all the fan girls (and Ray) over reacted. Silly behaviour. At the end of the day it leaves the MCRMY (*shudders*) looking like crazy, obsessed assholes.

Exactly. Not only do the fans look like assholes, but Gerard and Ray do too. Whatever happened to that so-called "thick skin" they were supposed to have?
After Gerard posted this in reply to a comment asking them why he was on the cover of NME, along with Ray's "Fuck you" tweet, I doubt NME will ever do another article on them again.
I think MCR likes to stir up controversy and they probably like it when their fans act this way, otherwise they wouldn't have encouraged it with their tweets.
They act like the didn't like the controversy that went on with The Daily Mail, but I'd bet they enjoyed the publicity that went with it.
Really, Ray just looks like a big whiny emo baby.
YOU SAID I HAVE LOVEHANDLES! FUCK YOU NME! I'M TAKING MY TOYS AND GOING HOME!
Is that any way for a grown man to behave?
Exactly. Not only do the fans look like assholes, but Gerard and Ray do too. Whatever happened to that so-called "thick skin" they were supposed to have?
They don't. That is on a par with the one where they don't mind if they don't fit in with other bands, love to be outsiders, blah blah blah.
1.46 I originally thought that was because someone tweeted him "why is it just GW on the cover", but with the ugliness of this NME stuff, I think he was also being a juvenile idiot.
Now dstarpro has gotten into the fight. Lol, we knew it was only a matter of time, right?
Oh and btw, dstarpro, if you're reading this, Marvin Gaye was not murdered by a fan. His own father killed him.
Do your research before you make an ass out of yourself.
Is anyone else here actually blushing and cringing on these fangirls behalf? I feel very uncomfortable. It's like they don't possess rational brains anymore.
Wait, what? Dstarpro said Marvin Gaye was killed by a fan?
Is anyone else here actually blushing and cringing on these fangirls behalf?
A couple of years ago I would have been, but nothing surprises me about these morons who call themselves the MCRMY anymore.
Since VV started this blog as a direct response to Mayonaise and not because GW got married and she was jus jealous
NEW MAYONAISE POST.
Go. Twist. Deflect. lol
Really, Ray just looks like a big whiny emo baby.
Yah. It's not like they made fun of his nose and called him all around fugly. He didn't have to go crying to the teacher about how mean the other kids were being to him. What a pussy.
Can someone link me Mayonaise's blog?
Pleaseandthankyou
Mayonaise is a joke. Seriously, you don't want to get sucked into that b.s.
I haven't been to Mayo's in ages. I don't care what she has to say, nor do I want to read what her suckups have to say.
NEW MAYONAISE POST.

How old is Dstarpro again? Before you hope on here and attack us for ageism Dstarpro I'm referring to your emotional functioning age.

Where's Jessicka Adams and her anti-fat rhetoric? I thought she would have something succulent to say to Luke Lewis. Or maybe her stance only pertains to women?

Someones care enough to keep bringing Mayo's blog up.
Stop deflecting. Get back to hating on the fakes in MCR.
Someones care enough to keep bringing Mayo's blog up.
And that someone is you. You've brought it up, what? 3 or 4 times now? Nobody believes Mayo is Gerard. Nobody cares. Go away.
Fans are going off on the NME writer for arguing with teenagers on the internet. I suppose they expected him to just keep his mouth shut amidst a barrage of hate tweets.
The people who should have kept their mouths shut were Ray and Gerard. They instigated this little twitter war.
It's not me who keeps bringing up Mayos and things that happened years ago.
Do not feed the Mayo troll.
That little twitter war is good for MCR and NME.
There are no losers. Free publicity for both.
I don't think it was good for MCR fans. It made them look like the idiots that they are.
Troll.
It made them look like what? A mindless cult.
MCR isn't the only band that can lay claim to having a cult following who will do anything for the band they worship. Most bands brag about their cult following. MCR included.
MCR used to brag about how intelligent and creative their fans were. That was before TBP. Now their fans are a mindless cult. But I guess that's what they want.
A "cult following" isn't quite the same thing as having a "mindless cult following." I'd think most bands would want fans with at least a shred of intelligence.
MCR...not so much.
Fans are going off on the NME writer for arguing with teenagers on the internet.
Lol. How old is dstarpro? I bet half the people who blasted that guy were in their late 30's or early 40's. Those are some of the craziest MCR stans out there.
You'd have to be pretty damn mindless to shell out 70 bucks for a cheap plastic mask and raygun. :/
I'd think most bands would want fans with at least a shred of intelligence.
Who's to say which bands' fans have a shred of intelligence and which bands' fans don't?
You? I don't think so.
You know what I think is unintelligent?
Women who pay thousands of dollars for 4xD breasts implants and push their way to the barricades of concerts holding signs that say I got these for you Brandon, Matthew, Mick, John, Paul. I'm you're #1 fan.
That is beyond stoopid.
MCR fans will do a Kanye and
Except y'all future apologies in advance. lol
Kanye's tweet to the today show.
You know what I think is unintelligent? Anyone who pays 70 bucks for a plastic raygun and mask.
I think Luke Lewis is funny. I also think Ray is a big sook. I'm sure he would have had worse things said about him or the band in the past. Maybe he had a record to sell and some publicity to drum up.
The people who should have kept their mouths shut were Ray and Gerard. They instigated this little twitter war.
There is no such thing as bad publicity when it comes to selling an album.
That little twitter war is good for MCR and NME.
There are no losers. Free publicity for both.
Exactly!
It just made a segment of their fans appear immature and ridiculous.
Really, no matter how much you admire someone you should still retain enough perspective to be able to accept there will be criticism directed to your object of admiration, regardless whether you like it or not.
That's fine if you think I'm unintelligent because I like to "waste" money on kitschy stuff that you don't want. I think the whole thing is not a big deal.
I actually think Luke Lewis has a touch of the Pythons in him.
Wise man number 1: we were lead by a star

There is no such thing as bad publicity when it comes to selling an album.
Especially when you can get it by making a bunch of teenage girls look like dumb fucks right? After all, they're just a commodity. It's not like they're human beings or anything.
Oh wait.
Funny how they're not treating the object of their hatred as a human being. That's only reserved for the band and their stupid wives.
Some of the middle-aged ones you would hope would know better...
There is no such thing as bad publicity when it comes to selling an album.
That's a bullshit cliche if I ever heard one. There most definitely is such a thing as bad publicity. The Daily Mail brouhaha was a disaster for both the fans and the band. MCR is still trying to do damage control on that one.
And look at the negative consequences of Michael Jackson's child molestation accusations. Sure, people forgot about all that after he died, but after that happened his record sales declined exponentially.
Anybody who says 'any publicity is good publicity' doesn't know what they're talking about.
I agree. I also think some people should think before they tweet.

Tastittv reminds me of a hippie with the her head in the clouds type of thinking.
I can't believe she swallows that tripe.
Self actualized -heh
Random fact number 3005
Coughing is a subconscious reaction when the mind cannot reconcile untruths.
Okay, I've made a promise to myself that I will never watch another interview with Gerard (can't stand the sound of his voice) and especially not one with that annoyingly fawning Brigitte fangirl with a video camera, but I'm dying to know what he said about self-actualization.
Does he claim to be there? Does he even know what the word means, or is he using it in some pop psychology, self-improvement seminar kind of way?
At any rate, as curious as I am, I still won't watch this. I don't want to lose my breakfast.
If he's self actualized I'm Mrs Magoo.
He's a moron.
If he were self-actualized, he wouldn't be so thin-skinned and he wouldn't still be saying that MCR is the "best band in the world" or that fans can only get great, spontaneous live shows from them.
How dare he say shit like that? I'm not kidding, that makes me angry for all the other bands out there who put on great shows.
He's so full of shit.
he wouldn't still be saying that MCR is the "best band in the world" or that fans can only get great, spontaneous live shows from them
Spontaneous in that you don't have any idea what notes the fucker is going to sing, because they are never the notes you hear on the records. Best band in the world, my ass.
Maslow considered self-actualizing people to possess 'an unusual ability to detect the spurious, the fake, and the dishonest in personality, and in general to judge the people correctly and efficiently'
Well that's settled. GW + self-actualization = bullshit.
GW + self-actualization = bullshit.
QFT.
The MCRmy had better hurry up with this vengeful rampage because I'm going to the pub at half five
I think I've become a fan of Luke Lewis. All thanks to MCR, fancy that.

She now thinks she's a purple dragon.

We could start the LukeLewmy.
So Gerard's back in LA. Obviously he's going to be at LynZ's art show. It's nice he wants to support her and everything, but if he shows up I suspect it could turn into the "Gerard Way circus". We all know what the teenie fans are like. I don't thnik LynZ or Jessicka would appreciate that.
It will be like Gerard's comic book signings. Fangirls will line up outside and cry when they meet Gerard. Maybe they'll bring him presents.
Meanwhile, Linds and Jess will stand there and look pissed.
We could start the LukeLewmy.
We could call it LukeLewisLegion.
I hate MCR fans. Why can't they let this go now?
I think all of us should tweet some love to Luke Lewis.
They make no sense. They're upset about this guy making a negative comment about Ray's appearance so they go and tell him how "ugly" he is (he's not, btw).
That's roughly the playground equivalent of yelling, "Yo mama!" in retaliation to an insult.
"Yo Mama" is cooler. And classier.
Why was only Gerard on the cover of NME? I thought there were three other guys involved.

There were four. Gerard is planning to be a one man show. That way he can be the one that does all of the talking...oh wait, he already does that.^_~
Lol. I still can't get over how silly they look with the ray guns and s***. No wonder Bob left. I imagine he wouldn't stand for it so his Highness kicked him out.
The other guys, like the aftermath, are secondary.
LOL! That was a good one!!
The mighty MCRmy at work. It's a boycott, y'all!
LMAO.
I thought you guys might enjoy this response to one of the MCRmy loons. :)
Kings of Leon's acting debut.
From Jimmy Fallon. Even if you don't like KOL, this is hilarious guys. :D
Is it me or do they have Caleb made up to look like Zach Galifianakis? Lol. That was funny.
I saw that KOL clip earlier today on NME's website. I'm non-boycotting them.
Man, that was funny! The wigs lol!. At least they have a good sense of humor unlike another stuck up themselves band...
LOl @ the NME boycott. From the looks of it, most of the 56 people who joined don't even live in the UK.
If they asked MCR to appear in a skit like that, Gerard would be trying to direct it. And he'd bring Colleen Atwood in to do the costumes.
I doubt anybody would ask MCR to do a comedy skit. None of them can take a joke.
Haven't the MCRmy noticed that other journalists are mocking them?
What the fuck did I just watch?
Okay I admit the one with the big glasses was funny. So was the one who got punched in the stomach.
But still. What the actual fuck?
It was called "Slapinton Manor". Didn't you get that?
From the way the MCRmy have responded to Luke Lewis, they kind of remind me of a hoard of Vicky Pollards.
I'm not into KOL's musical style, but I admit I like the fact that they can send themselves up. Anyone that doesn't take themselves too seriously is fine with me.

Let me check my calendar...
Nope. Busy that day. I have to wash my hair.
What the actual fuck?
the actual fuck = a Jimmy Fallon skit with KOL
You're not familiar with Jimmy Fallon are y ou?
What the actual fuck?
I love Jimmy Fallon. Yeah, his skits are ridiculous, but they're still better than 99% of the crap they put on SNL these days. And KOL were funnier than most of the current cast members.
SNL sucks and has for a long time.
Love when JGL hosted it though. :)
Haven't the MCRmy noticed that other journalists are mocking them?
I don't think they're bright enough to have noticed that. They're too busy playing with their rayguns.
his skits are ridiculous
That's part of Fallon's appeal. His sense of humor is so out there.
I like The Lonely Island, they're pretty funny.
From the way the MCRmy have responded to Luke Lewis, they kind of remind me of a hoard of Vicky Pollards.
I agree with you they appear very dense but what would you expect from people who idolize MCR and MSI: very few functioning brain cells.

As opposed to people who idolize **insert band, musician or actor's name here** who are highly intelligent fangirls and fanboys.
/sarcasm
I know what the response will be from the regs here.
I don't idolize any celebrity or band. I just like their works and music.
Guess what. That's the way the majority of MCR fans feel.
It's a small percentage of MCR fans waging war against NME. What's the signature count on that NME boycott? Under 100 names.
You can find that many extremists in any fandom or community.
Most of them are kids. Teenagers who have latched on to what they perceive as a cause. Fighting the good fight for the band and the music they believe in.
I ask the ones here who seem to get their kicks from mocking MCR, MSI or other fandoms
What do you believe in?
Aside from mocking other people to make yourselves look and feel superior to 15 year olds?

I don't buy into the whole "They're teenagers. Leave them alone. They don't know what they're doing," bullshit.
Kids who are old enough to be on the internet are old enough to know how to conduct themselves properly.
The ones making death threats and harassing Luke Lewis need to understand that their behavior is wrong. They are targeting one individual with personal threats, which is akin to the type of internet bullying that's receiving so much negative publicity in the news, and the members of MCR are doing nothing to stop it. If anything, they are encouraging it with their hateful tweets.
These kids obviously need more parental supervision. As for the older ones who are behaving so badly, they need something else entirely. Therapy or meds perhaps.
What do you believe in?
I believe in myself. I believe in my family. I believe in my friends.
I don't "believe" in some stupid band. MCR is not a religion.
What do you believe in?
Fighting the good fight for the band and the music they believe in.
I'd like to know how you can perceive that making death threats as "fighting the good fight."
You can find that many extremists in any fandom or community.
No, not really.
Take Kings of Leon for example. They've sold more than twice the number of records as MCR. They have twice the number of fans on their facebook. They get criticized and hated on by Indie websites and blogs all of the time for "selling out".
Yet I've never seen their fanbase act out the way MCR's does, every time someone dares to even hint that their heroes are less than perfect.

It's a small percentage of MCR fans waging war against NME. What's the signature count on that NME boycott? Under 100 names.
You can find that many extremists in any fandom or community.
Most of them are kids. Teenagers who have latched on to what they perceive as a cause. Fighting the good fight for the band and the music they believe in.
I ask the ones here who seem to get their kicks from mocking MCR, MSI or other fandoms
What do you believe in?
Aside from mocking other people to make yourselves look and feel superior to 15 year olds?
So serious. Who gives a damn if a band is mocked. They always claim they want to offend and make people uncomfortable and they can't handle it themselves, cause basically those morons are in it the the money. It's a business nothing more. We, unlike these idiots who are so convinced they are "trying to change the world" including an idiotic purple dragon, see this. LOL.

How many negative articles do you think Luke Lewis has written about various bands over the years? I doubt this one about MCR (which I didn't even view as negative) is the first.
How many death threats do you think he's gotten? I'd wager these were the first.
**for the money
Kids who are old enough to be on the internet are old enough to know how to conduct themselves properly.
QFT.
Kids who are old enough to be on the internet should know how to conduct themselves properly, but obviously they don't. I suppose we can blame that on parents.
The older ones who feel compelled to stick their noses in have no one to blame but themselves.
You can't blame everything on parents. BY the time they're teenagers they know the difference between right and wrong, and even if their parents disapprove they still are likely to do it anyway. It's about time they learn responsibility for themselves and their actions.
Get the fuck over yourselves.
Like none of you did stupid shit when you were teenagers.
It's a different world today with the internet. If you had had a world wide forum to make asses of yourselves growing up you probably would have done it too.
You can pretend to take the moral highground but you're not convincing anyone other than yourselves that's what you're doing by ridiculing and laughing at other people.

Maybe you made death threats to people when you were a teenager, but I can assure you that I didn't.

Nope they deserve a good kick in the arse. Good on Luke Lewis and co.
Being a teenager is no excuse.
I've seen some of them make asses of themselves as so called grown ups. Calling anyone who doesn't agree with them a troll. Having no tolerance for people who don't share their opinions. They are no better than the ones they mock.
Ooooo we can write nasty words in songs and be soooo dangerous but if someone mocks us we have to get our 'army' who we suck up to when we need them to sell our record.

You are wrong.
We don't call people trolls unless they behave like trolls.
What death threats has this man received?
Show me the i will come to your house and kill you threats.
If he has received any of those the senders could be prosecuted.

no, they call people who attack them personally trolls because that's what they are.
In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.
When people come here with the intent of deliberately attacking and provoking, we call them trolls.
He could make an example of these kids but I think he knows they are ignorant teenagers.
Unless he and you are just making mountains out of molehills.
Rly. If the man fears for his life all he has to do is contact authorities. A court order can get him the names and addresses of anyone making threats.
No one is really anonymous.

You do mean the MCRmy. We and Mr Lewis are just laughing.
but I think he knows they are ignorant teenagers.
Careful. That's your future you're calling ignorant.
Then he should be the mature and wise one and let it go. He's had his laughs at their expense. So have you.
Careful. That's your future you're calling ignorant.
No, that's only a small portion of teenagers. Some of them are quite astute. Unfortunately the MCRmy does not attract these ones.
We and Mr Lewis are just laughing.
Tsk Tsk.
What happens if one of these teenagers you and Mr. Lewis are just laughing at commits suicide?
Will the DM be all over your asses then? Making you feel ashamed for bullying a poor ignorant teenager into committing suicide?
Then he should be the mature and wise one and let it go. He's had his laughs at their expense. So have you.
In case you haven't noticed, he has let it go. He hasn't tweeted about it in a long time.
I think right now, you are the one who can't let it go.
What happens if one of these teenagers you and Mr. Lewis are just laughing at commits suicide?
Now you're just being ridiculous.
then he should be the mature and wise one and let it go. He's had his laughs at their expense. So have you.
Are you accusing us of laughing too much. I'm sure you can find much better examples of people taking the joke way too far, like MSI.
Maybe Ray will commit suicide because Luke Lewis called him fat.
One can never laugh too much at those idiots in the MCRmy. They're just too damn funny.
Mr. Lewis, you and VV may want to be extra cautious.
The same goes to the small fraction of the MCRmy making threats against Mr. Lewis.
What happens if one of these teenagers you and Mr. Lewis are just laughing at commits suicide?
Then I would say they have an underlying mental disorder and anything could trigger this impulse. You cannot blame anyone for poor cognitive function.
Mr. Lewis, you and VV may want to be extra cautious.
Lol. Just when I thought you couldn't be any more ridiculous.
Maybe Ray will commit suicide because Luke Lewis called him fat.
Oh. That's just so funny.
Not.
Mr. Lewis, you and VV may want to be extra cautious.
We are not making threats unlike you.
Maybe Ray will commit suicide because Luke Lewis called him fat.
No, he'll just whinge and say "fuck you" in a public tweet and generally act like a big emo baby.
Guess the people here haven't heard about Google's and youtube's latest lawsuit lose.
And all those comments on that video did were call some woman a whore.
