You are not allowed to have fun ever again, because obviously, that means you can't have suffered enough.
Posting this because:
- People are still asking me for 'proof' that this guy is a douche. Want more? There's heaps, I promise. How much more do you need? How hard is it to look this shit up yourself? For how long do you want to keep the eyeflaps on?
- Public because you may want to link to it.
- Not open to defensive comments. Screening is on, comments with icons with this guy's mug will be deleted, because frankly, I've had enough of the rampant stupidity and apologizing.
Most of you have never heard of Natascha Kampusch, and possibly don't want to because that might harsh your squee. Tough. She was kidnapped by a man when she was ten years old, held captive in his basement for eight years, no windows, a steel door. She managed to escape eight years later, running, being ignored by several people she asked to call the police, until a 71 year old finally did.
For understandable reasons she refuses to give details of what happened to her, and there is speculation that she developed Stockholm Syndrome. But one of her lawyers said: "[he] would beat her so badly she could hardly walk. When she was beaten black and blue, he tried to smarten her up. Then he would take his camera and photograph her".
Now she has her own talkshow and is, you know, trying to live her life and trying to help other women, like so many other women.
And of course, chauvinist pigs like your boy can't have that. After hearing reports about her dancing in a disco with the son of one of her lawyers, he wrote in his biography (verbatim): "Now I ask myself, how can a girl, that claims to have suffered awefully for all those years, go to a disco again [sic] after such a short time?" (translated by me, original German, if you're all such fans you probably own it and can look it up for yourself: Jetzt frage ich mich, wie kann ein Mädchen, das behauptet, all die Jahre über krass gelitten zu haben, nach so kurzer Zeit wieder in eine Disco gehen?) And according to him she's a swindler. To make sure that everyone knows how he feels about her, he's calling her a whore (Nutte) on one of his samplers.
If he 'didn't mean that' like you keep telling me, he could have, I dunno, taken that out in the last edit? Her parents called him sick, I call him a sick fuck, and I'm not actually done, but I just thought I'd throw this out there before I really let loose.
EtA1: For anyone who is going, "Waaaaaaah! You're calling me stupid!" in the comments, I didn't actually call anyone in fandom stupid, but your defensiveness does seem to get in the way of your reading comprehension. What I'm calling stupid is that this dude gets so much love in this fandom, that is stupid. What I'm seeing from people in fandom is a lot of "LALALA, I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" which is being willfully ignorant, not the same as stupid, it's worse than stupid, stubbornly refusing to get it because, unlike Perez, you think this dude is hot and should therefore be allowed to get away with anything.
EtA2: If someone lets me know that you've thrown some ageism into the game, I'm going to have to let you go. & lol: "@so_zwitschert oh... verbitterte alte Jungfer also, das erklärt einiges xD" That's funny, but you're going to have to try a little harder to actually make a point.
EtA3: If you want to leave a comment but, like several other people, are afraid of being bullied by Onerva (the head of the Austrian TH fanclub, Leonie Bürgler) and her bunch of 'neo-Nazism, it's just an opinion/a joke!' trolls, I can keep it screened by request. If you're wondering who this 'Fler' (Patrick Losensky) she's always talking about is, he's also an extreme right wing German rapper who has called another rapper a 'gay gypsy' and one of his producers a 'money-grabbing Jewish pig'. Germany's right wing party, the NPD, has recommended his album. If you think these people are not as bad as I make them sound, here's what their flyers for the 2006 FIFA football (soccer) WC said: "White - not just the color of a jersey! For a true National team!"
EtA4: For n00bs to this dude and those of you who can't read German, some choice song titles and lyrics:
"Gangbang" (2004, indexed) "Your daughter becomes a rental car for my boys (...) I'll turn the playground into a battlefield, there'll be a panic". When asked about this, he said that that's just how groupsex is, looks as if he has no idea what consent means.
"Nutte Bounce" (2006) (Whore Bounce)
"Behindert" (2002) (Disabled) "I['ll] fuck you and your children, if you think it can't get any worse, I'll slaughter you like cows (...) shut up, faggot"
"September 11/Taliban" (2005)
His neo-Nazi skinhead fans gathered in 2007 in front of the Brandenburg Gate (it used to be the Nazi party symbol; hardly a 'long time ago' or a 'juvenile mistake'), all with t-shirts that said "Comradeship Bushido - Forever all our lives".
From the lyrics of September 11/Taliban: "I'll do a terrorist attack like the one in Tel Aviv [...] If I want it, you'll all die, I am a Taliban. Selavi, can you hear my voice? I fuck your mother here."
EtA5: By request, info about that poor misunderstood woobie 'Bu' verbally attacking and threatening a lesbian during Christopher Street Day this June 27th. ( Read more ) As people who are fans of this dude keep trying to tell me, he's said he doesn't hate gays, and in the same breath that he doesn't hate them, but! they should keep out of the rap genre and keep their traps shut and continue to lick other men. Here's a link to another article, this happened last year (July 2008), also hardly ancient history. Some translations of the direct quotes.
EtA6: He has trademarked the name 'Bushido' in Germany and will sue anyone who sells something on ebay for a few Euros and puts it in the description, including and especially his fans. His lawyer uses intimidation tactics that seem borrowed from loan sharks and swindlers, his letter always tells those getting sued that they can get of the hook if they cough up 250 Euros. 'Music' must not bring in enough money. He's a pathetic little culturally appropriating wanker making a quick buck from a Japanese term.
Since his side brought up linguistics I think I should explain: 'Appropriation' is one of the synonyms of 'theft', it just sounds a little less harsh. But of course, he's soiled his hands on downright theft too, of the plagiarist kind: ripping sixteen songs from an obscure French band, Dark Sanctuary. He has stolen from other bands, like Nox Arcana and Dimmu Borgir.
EtA7: If all of the above doesn't make it clear yet, it is common knowledge in Germany, where people speak the language he raps and speaks in, you know, that he hates homosexuals and Jews. There are heaps of articles from 2007, 2008, and this year, I can't translate them all, but he is one of the causes why homophobia in Germany has become 'salonfaehig' (acceptable) again. Here you have him using 'fucking Jew' (scheiss Jude - I know that literally it's 'shit Jew', but since someone has been hassling me about the correct linguistic interpretation of the kind of language he uses, 'fucking Jew' is the closest equivalent) as an insult on the phone, it's not as if he only does it in lyrics, and it's not as if I'm 'ignorant' of the 'linguistic complexities' involved in using 'Jew' as a slur. Hate speech is not an 'opinion'. They are of course not alone, they're real trend setters:
EtA8: The next one to start wanking about 'reverse' racism (and 'reverse' sexism) will get banned, read the other comments first please. And if you think I sound 'too' angry, I am angry, don't bring the tone argument here. I am not and never will be sorry for being angry because people brought their misogynist, homophobic, racist, and antisemitic attitudes into my fandom.
EtA9: Samy Deluxe, Tom's favourite rapper (and mine by now), calls the album "Neger Neger" (N****r N****r) by Bushido's ex-label mate B-Tight racist. The Brothers Keepers project tried to prevent its release. B-Tight, an Afro-German himself, has admitted to feeling terrible when he's on stage and two-thousand white youths filled with hate shout the lyrics back at him. That's what happens if you let your label (the same as Fler's, see EtA3) talk you into encouraging extreme right wing thought for fun and profit. Samy talks about racism in the German rap scene in his book, pretty sure Tom sleeps with it under his pillow. Now I'm not saying TH will never ever do a project together with this dude I have serious beef with, since their management has made other dubious (read: stupid - comments on the blog?) decisions, but I'm counting on Tom to grow some if he hasn't already and refuse.
I guess I'm about done here, am going to buy Samy's book since I'm pretty sure his favourite word is not 'slut'. I have more dirt, there's no end to it, talked about how Bushido has been dissing Samy for years to one of you in private already, will add by request or if something else comes up. This post has been updated several times, please read it before commenting. We've already gone over a bunch of derailing arguments on the list in the comments, don't bring them up again.
I posted all of this because I can't stand to see this fandom descend further and further down into becoming a safe space for apologists for misogyny, homophobia, racism and antisemitism, only because one little vicious corner deems it appropriate to give those of you who don't speak German incomplete and often false information. It's not your fault if some people in fandom are neo-Nazi enabling scum and you didn't know that, but choosing to stick to them? That is your call.

"What happened in the backstage area was really disgusting - since then I'm seriously disgusted with you. You were making out with a backstage rapper from the opening group, mate."If you still maintain that he's not homophobic there's a lot more wrong with you than being stupid, you're delusional and may need professional help. (Dieter Bohlen is roughly the German equivalent of Simon Cowell, Mark Medlock is an Afro-German soul singer and winner of the fourth season of DSDS - the German AI. He was married to a man for three years.)
"I don't have anything against gays. But they shouldn't rap or open their mouths. Continue to lick around with other men and make a song with Dieter Bohlen - like Mark Medlock."

Hate speech is not an 'opinion'. They are of course not alone, they're real trend setters:
According to Gottfried Kossler of the Frankfurt-based Holocaust Research Institute, "the word 'Jew' has become one of the most commonly used insults among German pupils," and not only among German Muslim youth. The word, which is not specifically used against Jews, has become commonplace, a development impossible to imagine five years ago. In November, during a confrontation between gangs of right-wing and left-wing youth at an underground station in Berlin, for example, expressions such as “Du Jude, Heil Hitler” were used by the former. An attack by a right-wing youth who shouted "Jude, Jude" while beating up his (non-Jewish) victim in front of a disco in August also illustrates this phenomenon.How is this a joke and how do I have no sense of humour?
