Wizard, keep in mind that relative to how many people in the world that are transgender, there are still many murders each year (and quite a few of these murders are by friends or family members). That doesn't make it right to react to artwork like this, but I do understand it. It doesn't help when people comment on it about how disgusting it is that she has a penis (not that she is sewing onto her face or has a rope coming out of her arm).



Thank you very much for your reasonable insight into the matter. Means a lot to actually have someone who I'm whole-heartedly defending without saying it actually understand what I'm saying.



way way way wayyyy too much thought being put into this you guys



I'm glad I brought up the topic and really went off the rails with it. You should read the interviews Charlie Fell has done regarding the subject matter/ artwork of the album and you will truly see why I'm so fascinated by this album. I think people might appreciate the album a bit more with the insight he has provided.

Curse.

no one complains about the rampant misogyny in death metal cover artwork, but slap a penis on "girl's" body and everybody loses their minds.

But yeah, the cover art is kinda repugnant. But I suppose that is the point, right?

I think violence is part of being human. It’s like love. It’s part of the emotion. It’s a reaction you’re capable of having. But here’s the thing. The cover art is me. It’s violence against myself. I have a very similar tattoo on my arm, and it’s supposed to represent my soul. The main part of the issue is people’s idea of Whitehead, and everyone just thinks he’s this fucking monster because of the trial, even though he was innocent of all these rape charges. But they’re still stringing him up. It’s fucking bullshit.



I didn’t mean to offend any group of people. I’m making art that is reflective of my personal state and having my own sexual issues. It has nothing to do with anyone else and everything to do with me. It’s self. It’s not a “fuck you” to anybody. It’s just there. It’s a piece of art. I’m an uneducated college dropout. Not everybody is some educated Portland asshole. I’m a fucking street junkie from Chicago, and I talk and think like one. I can’t put any other fucking face on that. I’ve been getting a lot of shit for that also. I can’t put another personality into myself and just switch.




and this:



Society shits on people who act like themselves. They shit on people who are honest. The US is like a Christian belief state and part of that belief system is complete sexual oppression. It’s so deeply ingrained in people that they don’t even fucking know. There’s a whole shame that’s connected to it, and people react against people who act on something that’s natural to them. You could make a million different groups for what people do and want sexually. It’s human.



The guy is an honest motherfucker and I like it. End of discussion for any fuckhead trying to be instigator.
