>In 2014, Swans’ show at Lincoln Hall sold out so quickly that the venue added a second date, which also sold out.
>Two years later, on what’s been billed as the final tour for the band’s current incarnation, they haven’t sold out either of their Chicago dates.
>A handful of people smoke outside. It’s never a long line. Lincoln Hall splits entry across two doorways in order to cut down on wait times when there’s enough demand, but tonight people file into the left door only. A single bouncer checks IDs. The woman working the door tells me there are “at least 50” tickets still available.

is this the end of swans? is michael "raping a slave" gira going to jail? how will they ever recover?

Both Gira and her are speaking in riddles about it. Like "oh we were on fire and water and the wind of the earth we were feeling and we just have to preservere.." kind of stuff. No, if this is a rape charge we are talking about, all the details has to be on the table. They could be saving the smaller details for a later, but until then it is unfair for her to accuse him of this without the proper evidence.

this article is stupid. people arent not seeing Swans because of the accusations. anyone who bothered to do their research realized that what likely happened was miscommunication leading to attempted non-consensual sex, not rape in the typical sense of the word - in other words, they were laying in bed, he stuck his dick in her, and she freaked out and he stopped. still technically rape, but not "rape" as we tend to think of it.

and anyways, i was at their Denver show, there were tons of people there. maybe not completely sold out, but certainly filled with a lot of people

Doesn't apply unless it was reported.

I didn't imply it either, but you are free to interpret my words however you want.

>It's ok that you pick and choose was is or is not rape depending if you like the perp or not or how much you like slut shaming.

I literally agree with you that what he did constitutes rape. I'm also saying it's important to understand why and how it's rape, and how that makes it different from other kinds of rape.

I don't equate with Gira did with forcible violent rape with statutory rape. All three are different kinds of rape, and as such I would judge a violent rapist different than a statutory rapist different from Michael Gira.

last, please don't accuse me of slut shaming. you don't know me, or my personal beliefs. we likely agree on a lot of things - specifically, that slut-shaming (which I haven't done) is a terrible thing.
>>
>>68364050

Shit, you're right. Next time I'll be sure to judge that 18 year old with a 16 year old girlfriend exactly the same as that serial rapist who forced himself on an 85 year old. They are both exactly the same.

Is putting you're dick in someone while they're drunk (she never said she was sleeping) - then taking it out when she says stop - fundamentally the same as breaking into an 85 year old woman's home and forcing yourself on her, or hiding in the woods, attacking a woman jogging on a bike path, and violently raping them? How the fuck can you honestly sit there and say these things are all exactly the same?
>>
>>68364337
>hey one question how much direct harm to Larkin do you think was caused by mikey g's wiwi?
Probably a lot of emotional damage if she was so afraid to come out with this for 8 years. he's also an imposing figure, physically and musically. I would be afraid of him as well.

c'mon son
>>
>>68364471
>Both are examples of rape

Right, and one is much worse than the other, which leads me back to my original point, which I will rephrase for you here kindly: in my opinion, Michael Gira is not a bad person. You may disagree. That's fine. But don't use the argument "rape is rape" when I've already successfully made the unrefuted counter argument that there are different kinds of rape and as such different kinds of rapists - ergo, it's completely possible to be a "rapist" but not actually be a bad person (you yourself admitted that certain kinds of statutory rape aren't as bad as violent rapes, by deflecting here >>68364293 when I showed you the flaw in that kind of logic).
>>
>>68364545
I'm not that dude but it's not a loaded question at all.
If you really have trouble coming out and saying that violent rape is worse than a misunderstanding that ended abruptly then I think you need to reevaluate how you think about things.
The dude already agreed what he did was rape so what possible purpose do you have for being intentionally obtuse?
>>
>>68364572
>Right, and one is much worse than the other
That's because one is rape, the other is rape + assault.

It's a loaded question
>>68364602
See above.
>>
>>68363732
>If you are a decent human being, yes.
more like autistic in-his-own-reality human being
>>
>implying Swans fans aren't all edgy teens
>implying the rape, if it is true, doesn't make Gira even more badass
>>
>>68364620
>It's a loaded question

It's not loaded. It's an example of a different kind of rape. Take the assault out, forcing yourself on someone and raping them until you finish is fundamentally different from sticking your dick in thinking its consensual and then stopping when you realize it isn't.
>>
>>68364662
A lack of human empathy is a sign of autism
>>
>>68364721
>It's an example of a different kind of rape
No, it's the same rape (unconsensual sex) but the later has more charges (assault, kidnapping, etc).
>>
>>68364756
So if I fuck my girlfriend while she cries and tells me to stop, and I refuse to listen to her - mind you, I didn't assault or kidnap her - is the same as what Gira did? That's what you're telling me?
>>
>>68364721
If yeah there you go, it was an accident/ misunderstanding. Can't keep the same charge on a person then.

Is accidental rape charge a thing though?
>>
>>68364790
Did you read the accusations again Gira? That should answer your question if you don't know what he is accused of.
>>
>>68364792
>Is accidental rape charge a thing though?

Maybe not legally, but in this case, sure. He attempted non-consensual sex that he thought was consensual. When he realized it wasn't consensual, he stopped. Obviously non-consensual sex is rape by definition, but it doesn't make him a bad dude. Just ignorant of rape and consent.
>>
>>68364837
>I told him, slurred, half asleep, that he could sleep in the bed, just not to touch me. A little bit later I woke up with his penis inside me, no condom. As I opened my eyes, he said, “Uh, this doesn’t feel right.” and he pulled out.

That's one half the story. Let's hear the other half:

>Larkin Grimm and I headed towards a consensual romantic moment that fortunately was not consummated. As she wrote in her recent social media postings about that night, I said to her, "this doesn't feel right," and abruptly but completely our only intimate encounter ended. It was an awkward mistake.

So, as I said, it sounds like a miscommunication - Gira thought it was consensual, Larkin didn't, when he realized it, he stopped. Again - is this fundamentally the same as pinning someone down and having sex with them while they cry and tell you to stop, even if you haven't assaulted or kidnapped them?
>>
>>68364933
>So, as I said, it sounds like a miscommunication - Gira thought it was consensual, Larkin didn't, when he realized it, he stopped.

Why are you assuming only one party's account is correct?
>>
>>68364933
If he knew to not have sex with her while she was intoxicated then it was rape, people cant even give permission while intoxicated. But if he didn't know, then I don't know, then maybe there is no charge ?

But is it even rape if his dick was only in there for a moment and he wasn't thrusting? (How did he get his dick in there so fast? She must have a large stretched out vagina)

>Why are you assuming only one party's account is correct?

I'm assuming they're both correct. I didn't say she's lying. I didn't say he's lying. She said it was nonconsensual, he said it was consensual. To me, it just sounds like an instance of miscommunication.

> people cant even give permission while intoxicated

Damn well in that case I must call my girlfriend to inform her that we've drunkenly raped each other dozens of times.

>But is it even rape if his dick was only in there for a moment and he wasn't thrusting?

That's what I'm saying. The fact that he stopped means that, okay, he technically attempted non-consensual sex, i.e. rape, but I don't consider him a terrible person as I would other rapists because of it. Context is important.

Here's how the criminal justice system works:
X=accuser
Y=accused
P=police

X goes to P and tells P that Y did something bad. P launches an investigation into what happened. If they need to, they can arrest and detain Y if they have PROBABLE CAUSE and question him/her (and Y can refuse to talk, citing the Fifth Amendment and/or get a lawyer). From there, Y will be sent to an arraignment with a grand jury (a collection of citizens numbering around 15-25), who decide if there is indeed PROBABLR CAUSE to indict (in-DITE) Y; in other words, they formally charge Y with the crime.

THIS DOES NOT MEAN Y IS ASSUMED TO BE GUILTY. THIS MEANS THAT A JURY OF Y'S PEERS BELIEVE HE/SHE HAD REASON TO COMMIT THE CRIME.

From then, Y is sent to criminal court, where the prosecution (X's side) has to prove to all 12 members of a petit jury of Y's peers BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT that Y committed the crime he/she was accused of using only concrete evidence that was obtained without infringing upon Y's Constitutional rights.

REASONABLE DOUBT is an exponentially higher standard of proof than PROBABLE CAUSE.

If Y is indeed convicted, he/she is the given a sentence, decided either by the judge or the jury (it depends on the jurisdiction). Y can appeal the ruling to a higher court (hypothetically) all the way up to the Supreme Court (it usually would stop at the U.S. Federal Appeals Court), provided a lower court doesn't refuse to hear the case or overturn the ruling first.

The criminal justice system is purposely rigged against the prosecution, because to send an innocent person to jail is inconceivably worse than letting any number of guilty people go free.

Dude's a feminist, his lyrics have conveyed this since the early stuff. The man who wrote Fan letter is probably not someone who hates women. The man who let Volcano onto their record probably doesn't hate women. The man who wrote When Will I Return, one of the most powerful songs ever written about surviving rape, to help his wife cope with a rape she suffered years ago, but still remembers is probably not a rapist.
His persona is this scary pscyopath to help sell albums, that's clearly not who he also is. The worst he's done was when he was

Neither his current wife OR his ex-wife from when this happened who knew about this and was supposedly told by larkin believes this, nor anyone who knew Gira personally.
Even with Larkin's description, at best it's a sloppy night where they were both drunk off their ass and they misunderstood queues from each other.
Funny how this was dropped at the height of their fame too...

Didn't Larkin have a history of accusing people of rape?
Didn't she accuse him when he dropped her from his label?
Didn't she use the rape thing to push her album and merch?
Didn't even Gira's ex-wife, somebody with no reason to defend him, say that Larkin was nuts and threatened them with rape claims and stuff like that?
Doesn't she have like mentally unstable behavior or something?

Good thing he's taking a break then. Pretty sure he'll sell out again when he makes a comeback with the new iteration of his band.

Eh I'm pretty neutral on it.

For what it's worth, I know people in NY that know her and apparently she's batshit insane.

That combined with the lack of any legal proceedings on the matter makes me hard pressed to throw Gira under the bus. At the same time I won't rule it out completely.

But yeah it's not really like this is Ian Conner or Cosby or anything where you have scores of women coming out of the woodwork with accusations. It's one disgruntled former collaborator which has a history of erratic behavior.

No shit its loaded, never said it wasn't, but I'm also open to criticism and corrections. I just didn't see anyone talk about the stuff I brought up,and if you're not going to address any of that the I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish by pointing out stuff about my argument that's obvious or stated. Let's have a constructive dialogue instead of nitpicking
