He's been dropped by his record label, he's been dropped by his talent agency, and by the look of that picture of him, he's been dropped from the top of a skyscraper onto his face.

The original Saint of Cultural Deconstruction becoming a lardass abandoned by his groupies, is the most stunning rebuke of his generation imaginable. What a banal crock of gray mud his ideology always was.

Why do we take women seriously again? This is what happens when we try to enforce sex equality: one sex ends up with more rights than the other. Better we have the more rational sex dictating things than females, who are guided almost entirely by hormones. Now we're just arbitrarily destroying men's lives and careers because women are looking for attention.

I've known a number of his fans when he was popular and boy were they losers. These were people who were generally social outcasts not because of some unchangeable characteristic of their personalities, but because of their own personal decision to be a complete weirdo for attention. Many of them were either nerds, angry kids, abused, or self loathing. They probably needed a hug or a therapist or something.

There's a poorly recorded interview with MM on youtube from Much music from the mid 90s, and there is a fan in the audience that gets to ask MM a question, and he tells a story where MM's music inspired him to empower himself. He says this: A few of his classmates were picking on him at school, so he takes a blade and cuts his side open in front of them, and the bullies run away. Buddy was proud of himself for it! His idea was you can't hurt me, only I can hurt me!

Following this was a discussion around self harm where MM, probably at the advice of his manager, said something like "yeah self harm was something I experimented with for a time but I've since moved past it." Not to hold MM responsible for that, but this is the message his fans were getting. Not surprisingly, an epidemic of self harm and cutting exploded among youth at the time.
