ok guys, no jokes, but what the fuck?
i want to touch a really really serious topic in pink floyd fandom rn and i want you all to listen to me at least once. i would really appreciate it if you spread this information. thank you
if you're the type of person who writes "well, waters is still better than gilmour", then just please unfollow me forever the fuck out
but it's ok i'll explain you why
well, a little backstory
while many believe that roger's political views are now quite correct, i want to remind you that he supports an aggressive invasion of the country where i live (Ukraine). if you are still interested, then yes, the war in Ukraine is still going on even if in the west now no one wants to pay attention to it anymore. for your understanding, on average we have 100 air raids in the city per month, at least once a week i definitely hear explosions and, yeah, i don’t live in a hot spot. and this guy just goes out and does an interview where he openly says that he supports the aggressor country. yeah, that's right, he was also allowed to speak at the UN council, where he said that the conflict was provoked. very smart. the same guy who said a couple of days before the war that those who believe that it will start are “out of their minds”
ok ok, but how does this relate to gilmour?
very simple. his daughter-in-law is Ukrainian. and her mother lived in a city that was one of the first to be attacked by the russian army. if you have never seen footage from Kharkiv in the first days of the war, then believe me, it was a terrible sight, people tried to help each other as best they could
and it is still going on
i don’t think it's cool to talk shit about one person who supports israel but then turn a blind eye to how another openly says that Taiwan should belong to china and Ukraine to russia and say "well, he is based", "he's better than gilmour"
if you have any other information about gilmour, you can share it with me.
i know you all really like young waters and i see a lot of positive things in him too, but i really can't stand the fact that now people only really look at how he feels about Palestine, even if i see a lot of articles and posts from adults, who say his support for Palestine is also twofold. don't wanna say anything bad about that because i haven’t studied this topic, but i think you can google them yourself, they always just come up
don't get me wrong, i'm not stopping you from sending pictures of him or drawing him, i'm just asking you not to write that he's better than someone else at something when he's not
oh yeah and one last thing...
if you are a supporter of communism, then get the fuck out too, because communism led to the fact that in the 60s in my country they killed almost all the poets who did not write something in support of the state. in history they were persecuted and killed because they wrote in their native language and mentioned Ukrainian culture. communism led to three great famines in our country, when people had so little to eat that they resorted to cannibalism. it's very scary, but it's true. this is what the government has led to when it wants to bring communism to life
communism is not a cool thing. it's cool in words, not on practice, read history
thank you for your attention
i love how many people here are an example of how people never care about other countries or world problems. everyone here just wants to have fun and for the sake of this entertainment you are ready to turn a blind eye to what your favorite member says or does. you all say that you do not support his political views, but you never spread condemnation of them, but simply ignore them. you like confessions where people want to choke on his sperm or eat members of pink floyd, but when the conversation comes about something serious, you immediately step back, and then also write how tired you are of this 😭 tired? really? someone lives in the world of these confessions, someone goes down to the basement every day because of a missile attack, someone is afraid that their father will be drafted into the army or is afraid that he will never return, but it’s still you who gets tired. and someone sits at home and writes how annoyed he is by such confessions, because “well, roger waters is my favorite member and all these things make me feel bad that i like him(“. well, it’s not our fault. we don’t determine what he says or does, we spread this because it’s wild and because EVERYONE decides to turn a blind eye to it, everyone decides that it’s better to close political confessions, because they’re too dark, everyone decides that it’s better to pass by than to reblog to themselves, because "oh, but then my blog will be negative". half of those confessions are not even mine lmao, some people just want to talk about it for real.
you're so comfortable in the entertainment business that when it starts getting to the point of roger fox hunting with clapton or writing a letter to the president of a war-torn country saying they should give up and give up territory, suddenly it's all out of politics or suddenly "it's too dark for my blog."
love him as much as you want, he doesn't end as a person with his political statements, there's nothing wrong with him being your favorite member. on the contrary, it’s very good that you like him, because now you can finally do the right thing. don't write a confession about wanting his dick, but maybe reflect on what smart things he said in his songs and how strange it is that he doesn't stick to them now.
talk about it because if you don't he will never see how disappointed his fans are in him. how disappointed they are in his statements.
Man seeing a lot of these confessions lately reminds me exactly why I started distancing myself from the fanbase. I still love Pink Floyd but some fans just love screaming the same hateful ragebait over and over and it's fucking annoying. It's hard for me to even listen to the music anymore because all I can think of is the negativity. Whoever runs this blog is a trooper because it must be draining as hell at times.
So this was sent as a submission and I’m posting like this to keep confessed anonymous. It is tiring and draining. It’s getting annoying seeing hateful confessions in my inbox now. I feel bad every time I see one about Roger. Yes, his political opinions are very controversial, but y’all are pushing it now. I love Roger and it makes me feel like I’m a horrible person for having him be my favourite member, and just one of my favourite musicians in general.
I also just realized the submitted by tag takes away the anonymity.
all of the roles roger waters gave to david gilmour were so funny. "hey can you be a shitty boss" "hey can you be a disembodied voice singing about sex" "hey can you be my mother"
hi i'm here with my god-wife globgrobgrodgob thanks for watching
The city of Vovchansk, Ukraine after "russian liberation".
Vovchansk was a city:
i'm horny, so he's horny too
happy birthday our king (i know i'm a little late)
Just another Monday morning in Ukraine. Russians are using everything they got: drones, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, you name it. Seems to be hitting mostly our power grid, again.
