The lyrics quoted in the article are beyond cringe. Eat shit, Georgie.
so he can fuck off. gotcha.
Irrelevant bitch is still irrelevant
wow the transphobe is also pro genocide who’d have thought.

Last month, Boy George launched a new company called Artist Included, which will use AI to allow artists to create new versions of earlier songs which resemble the originals, as a way of wresting back control of master recordings. It launched with a new version of Karma Chameleon, which Boy George recorded then de-aged. “When I heard it, I was absolutely gobsmacked,” he told the Hollywood Reporter. “It sounds like another take from that original session.”
He’s just going all-in on the shit-takes. Probably, just desperate for people to talk about him again.
He’s just a man who doesn’t know how to sell a contradiction.
Well, I dunno about this one. Ownership of master recordings and royalty agreements are a serious issue in the music industry. Bands and musicians having to make a new recording of their own songs as a way to get royalties (as in any at all) for streaming isn’t unheard of. And it’s something that goes back longer than streaming.
So what he’s saying here (my take on what you quoted) is he’s using AI to modify his own new recording of his own song to more closely resemble the recording that some other entity has control over. Honestly I don’t mind that.
Are people asking me, as someone with principles, to turn my back on my Jewish friends? That is not going to happen – it will never happen. From the beginning of my career, I wore the Star of David … I feel very connected to the Jewish people. I’m not necessarily connected to Israel. I don’t really have an opinion on that. But the mission of music is to unite people.”
He said, after shoving his uninformed opinion on Israel and it’s ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people down everyone’s throat…
Like, it doesn’t seem that he actually supports what’s happening, it’s more like he has no fucking idea what is happening.
He doesn’t even understand that Israel doesn’t control the Jewish people.
Saying Israel is committing a genocide only betrays your friends who support the genocide, it has fuck all to do with religion.
Palestine’s issues aren’t that the people living in Israel are Jewish, it’s that the people living in Israel don’t see Palestinians as humans. They could be Christians, Muslims, or Atheists and the Palestinians would still be upset they’re victims of decades long genocide.
That’s pretty much everyone’s response to genocide, it doesn’t matter why your people are a target, you just don’t want to be genocided.

It’s okay to not be informed. Totally fine, if you don’t know about it, maybe just don’t take a definitive position on it? That’s a rational thing to do. Even more rational would be like “I don’t know enough about this, so, I need to educate myself”. Totally understandable…
What’s pretty fucking stupid, no matter what the subject, is to go “I don’t know wtf is going on… but here’s my opinion endorsing one side of it”.
The crux of the issue is in his head:
Israel = Jewish and Jewish = Israel
Same thing with Biden.
Israel spent literal generations conflating the two and making people think they were the same. It shouldn’t be surprising when elderly people act like they’re the same.
What’s important is making sure people that still have fully functional brains understand it’s bullshit. And use it as an example for how propaganda can effect people so we don’t fall for the same thing under a different topic.
It’s okay to not be informed.
Yes but it’s not OK to have strong opinions on genocide while being uninformed about it.
Edit:
OK, I see you got there eventually.
Motherfuck that guy. Bitch ass falsely imprisoned a male escort & beat him up.
The quote is from the judge. He got 15 months.
Also did community service after falsely reporting a burglary.
I guess he doesn’t realize there are quite a lot of Jewish people around the world (including song in Israel) who consider what’s happening in Palestine to be genocide.
But then I strongly suspect there’s a lot of things he doesn’t realize. He seems quite clueless in general.
Every once in a while, an accomplished person grows old, then says a bunch of ridiculous and appalling shit and wreck their own legacy.
See JK Rowling. See James Watson. See Richard Dawkins.
Has anyone asked what Ja Rule thinks?
Bruh.
So… he’s okay with genocide if the people fight back?
Pretty sure Jews resisted the Nazis 100 years ago… does he think that wasn’t a genocide either?
Also TIL “genocide” is a bad word on iOS. You can’t trace type it, you have to tap it out like a Neanderthal.
Well Boy George can go get fucked by a rusty knife then.
Do you really want to hurt him?
Do you really want to make him cry?
…yes?
It comes and goes. It comes and go-oooooes.
Ok, so what happened to “War is Stupid?”
Look at who he lived with on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I’m guessing he’s been a right wing nutter for a long time.
