Some nobody I’d never heard of before now who cosplays as an Elvis-impersonator vampire or something stupid like that, has been made famous—or infamous—after he posted some racist, sexist, vulgar attack against Dolly Parton, after the Country music queen made a statement supporting Black Lives Matter (the movement and sentiment, not the organization; as I have learned recently, the two are very different things despite having the same three-word handle). First of all, what must it be like to have so much bile in your soul that you can’t keep an opinion to yourself, even if you know that the opinion is going to destroy your livelihood? I can’t imagine. Or maybe the guy, whose real name is Stuart Baker, was just too stupid to realize that would happen. Either way, he got exactly what he deserved. He was, apparently, a voice actor on some show called SQUIDBILLIES. I’d never heard of it, either. I know you’re going to be shocked to learn of it, but the guy got fired after his racist rant. His music “career” is also DOA.
The guy posted a groveling apology afterwards. Then, when that didn’t fix things for him, he posted another rant about how evil, unforgiving people had ruined the career of a “good man” and wallowed in self-pity. It was embarrassing, and also grimly satisfying. You can find all this stuff easily if you care to look for it. I won’t even dignify it by linking to it. If this loser really is a vampire (he isn’t), he just got his head lopped off, his mouth stuffed with garlic, a stake driven through his heart, and his corpse burned to ashes. He’s as done as done can get. And he did all of that, every bit of it, to himself, all because he couldn’t keep his hate a secret. Just desserts.
W hat this”wannabe”‘s attitude to Dolly Parton(and presumably Taylor Swift and The Chicks-they recently dropped the “Dixie” from their title after concerns about the racist overtones of the term-who also expressed their support for Black Lives Matter) is one thing, but common sense should have taught him to keep his views to himself. Expact the usual whining about “political correctness gone amok” from right wing commentators such as Frederick Forsythe of the Daily Express and Laurence Fox(son of actor Edward, of “The Day Of The Jackal” fame)
“Common sense” isn’t something this dweeb has a surplus of, I suspect.
