jesus

would have been cooler if they got caught stealing

Are they a brand new cover band

nothing but pedos

Last album was decent, bummer

Both albums were decent. Definitely a bummer

Response makes it sound like this time they haven’t done anything wrong. But they’re acknowledging past instances where they got into a sort of “Grey area” with their behaviour? Cryptic lol wasn’t sure what they meant

fucking hell next time they should do a fucking proofread before responding to allegations like this

especially when the woman accusing you is a badass who very carefully compiled all that evidence and even asked to leave one of the members out of it

Damn it, Triple J generally loves these guys but I guess they'll never play them again.

“ But they’re acknowledging past instances where they got into a sort of “Grey area” with their behaviour? Cryptic lol wasn’t sure what they meant”

Sounds like they approached fans for sex early on and didn’t think about how people may do things they don’t really want to just because someone famous/that they look up to wants it.

Send these niggas to the guillotine

dudes being shitty huh wow color me s u r p r i s e d

according to them, the police let them off and even implied that police took their side and maybe sent a warning to one accuser

While I was reading, I didn't see any hints of some sort of "grey area." They were simply apologizing for possibly using their fame and or authority to flirt or seduce.

Unless I overlooked something while skimming the shit sea of twitter posts, I didn't see one direct message where a bandmate acknowledge the age and sent expletives.

There was one where she said she was 17, and he replied "oh cute" which to me was just a nice way of getting the hell out of the conversation. If he persisted, where are the rest of the messages?

But who knows. This wouldn't be the first time

The drummer is a fucking disgusting weirdo.

Victims coming out on "social media" LOL. If it was such a big deal these people would have gone to local authorities in the first place. Plenty of people make mistakes on social media, shit happens. Get over it.

The fuck you trying to do Darius? You can't just post a blank comment on this site because it goes to an error page. Your post was clearly posted to garner attention since you added God knows how many ::spacebars:: to your comment.

Is there anything at all that even implies pedophilia? Or are we pretending 17 is the cutoff age for pedophiles in 2020.

anyone who LARP daddy doms in someone's DMs like that should be automatically be sentenced to Central Park guillotine'ing regardless of the context.

"Is there anything at all that even implies pedophilia? Or are we pretending 17 is the cutoff age for pedophiles in 2020."

only took 21 comments to finally get an "umm akshually ephebophile" post, I think that might be a high score?

Butt thieves

in the name

Big up the one big band from Southend - absolute shit band though

"Is there anything at all that even implies pedophilia? Or are we pretending 17 is the cutoff age for pedophiles in 2020."

If youre gonna take the whole ephebophilia position then at least try to not say it in a way where youre trying to be dismissive lmao.

"We're not thieves!"

"Yes you are! Nothing but thieves!"

And that was how the band got their name

Well, 17 is quite borderline (here it would be legal) but the messages are rather. . . ahem, let's say if there's no consensus, that's a bit, bit, bit, bit too much. Kind of scumbaggy, at the very least.

come on guys these lads have had a hard time, they're from southend and all, gotta fuck with your mind at a young age

fuck you Sin we have the largest pleasure pier in the country

Anyone remember another bland indie band in which pretty much everyone in the band was a giant fucking creep. I think it happened right when MeToo kicked off? Anyway fuck this band. The drummer should have his DMs spoken out loud in front of an audience, although he'd probably get off to that

Brand New, yes, we remember.

Lock up your daughters, here come the butt thieves

"Well, 17 is quite borderline (here it would be legal) "

still a kid legal or not

For sure I dont think its inherently wrong to note 17 and 9 are quite different ages but its still underage and I take issue with people using it to be dismissive of events.

this band already had allegations come out against them a few years back i'm pretty sure this isn't new news

"For sure I dont think its inherently wrong to note 17 and 9 are quite different ages but its still underage and I take issue with people using it to be dismissive of events."

So using an incredibly damning word like pedo to paint a narrative is okay in your books. Gotcha.

"So using an incredibly damning word like pedo to paint a narrative is okay in your books. Gotcha."

So youre just an actual shithead. Gotcha.

If you actually go look in the twitter thread there are some girls who were alleged to be 15/16. And I said it wasnt inherently bad to differentiate so long as you dont act exactly how youre acting right now. Literally just shut the fuck up.

How am I acting, exactly? Like somebody who doesn't enjoy the use of hyperbole sensationalism to pull at emotional heartstrings instead of just reporting the facts? Yea, I guess I do act like that. Sorry if facts annoy you.

Not once did I even remotely defend any of their actions. I said be honest and accurate about the situation and what you are accusing them of.

You literally just said to not use a term thats "too damning". Youre the one here whos willing to throw snark over something like this. They did horrible shit im so sorry youre way more concerned with terms that people use than the actions themselves.

Fine if you wanna differentiate but your attitude and wording are a pukefest. And im done because I dont wanna waste my time with a fucker like you.

if you're like 30 and you're fucking a 20 year old it's not pedophilia but i'm still gonna give you a look

throw them in the bin, remember a mate of mine saw them and got nonce vibes from them

People in this thread defending them are the same ones doing the mental gymnastics to convince themselves Jesse Lacey isn't a nonce too

if you're like 30 and you're fucking a 20 year old it's not pedophilia but i'm still gonna give you a look

agreed. 30 year olds should only be looking at 30.5 year olds and up

oh fuck

"oh fuck"
Sums up this whole thread tbh

"incredible logic here"

yeah if you've got something to admit don't hold back

I read the allegations on twitter, and I just found out that NBT were due to play with Lostprophets. This shit is getting juicy.

If you do sexual harassment you smol pp

And people say being in quarantine is boring.

If you do sexual harassment you smol pp

pretty sure calling a paedo out for being a paedo isn't white knighting

@someguest
agreed on that
People's understanding of white knighting can differ pretty drastically though it seems

You're right, he isn't white knighting. Snake. is though.

"People in this thread defending them are the same ones doing the mental gymnastics to convince themselves Jesse Lacey isn't a nonce too"

Again, at no point have I defended them. The article stated they are facing allegations of pedophilia. I asked a genuine question whether or not these allegations existed because at first glance I didn't see anything along the lines of this but I may have missed it. Apparently trying to get the actual facts of the situation straight is being "dismissive".

Not everything is black and white. Messing around with 8 year olds is far worse than 17, I think we all can agree with that. It doesn't mean they both aren't wrong, dialectics y'all please use it. You can't just put blanket statements and accusations on people if there's no truth behind it, it's irresponsible and sensationalism at its finest. We are only having this "debate" because it was misrepresented from the start.

It's not good when you have to resort to technicalities in your point about the age of consent. Underage is underage.

i don't get how saying that it's kinda weird to fuck someone 10 years younger than you is white knighting but ok

I've only read the last comment by snake and all I will add is that fucking someone with a ten year age difference should not be weird as long as the youngest person is at least 19. 18 maybe. Still legal, but could be kinda weird since they literally just got done being 17.

that would still be an adult fucking a kid though

like you can draw arbitrary lines all you want but you go hang out with an 18 year old at the age of 28 and tell me how that goes

social power dynamics still make that really gross tho Storm. An 18 year old isn't cognitively done growing yet and is a quite a social disadvantage to a 28 year old, meaning they are much easier targets for abuse or manipulation. And 18 year olds are basically babies anyway so its gross regardless

I definitely wouldn't argue with those points. I personally believe no one is done growing until AT LEAST the age of 25. I feel like my brain wasn't done fully developing until around that age. At 30 years old I feel like I am still learning and growing as a person but my capability to do so at maximum potential wasn't until my mid 20s.

As far as the generic hookup, if I were single, I don't think it would be weird to hook up with anyone who can get into a bar. Alas I have always lived in the Oklahoma, United States where you have to be 21 to be in a bar. I'm also just leaving my 20s and entering my 30s so someone who is past their 50s hooking up with a 21 year old in a bar might still be weird to me. Personally, to me, anyone who is 21 years old at least and hooking up with someone less than 20 years old than them is not weird, but more common and okay than some might believe.

shut up, Fart In A TeaCup. We all know you couldn't hookup with a chick if you tried. What would you do, whip out the pic you and Toby from Emery from your wallet and then "accidentally" drop a magnum?

lmao

I swear even if accusations came with video proof and the guy saying yes I am sexually assualting you some poeple on here would be like 'AKsHullY this isn't CUt and Dry'

Fuck these dudes, didn't they already get accused with less evidence in the past and they swept it under the rug if I remember rightly?

I guess the big question is.....do I still listen to their next album?

Idk their last single didn't convince me. The last EP was good though. But they're one step away from being generic.

you aint lying...

the takeaway from this thread is that we should rise the age of consent to 26

the takeaway from this thread is that we should rise the age of consent to 26

I'd say because millennials and GZers mature much more slowly then people in the past did. They (we) are adults but what 18 year olds do now and what they did 20-30 years ago are worlds apart and 18 year old social development now is like at the level of a 15-16 year old.

Dunno if I'm allowed to post a link, but a lot of their fans seem to be in denial about this. Who knows though. https://www.reddit.com/r/NothingButThieves/comments/fya2or/nbt_abusing_their_power_this_just_popped_up_on_my/
