So they have replaced Chester Bennington, a rape survivor, with Emily Armstrong, a rape apologist? They waited 7 years from Chester's death to piss on his grave with this replacement? Seriously?

Definitely for me the specific choice they made here does make me see in in a cynical light. I don't know these people and mayybe there could have been some nuanced or respectful ways to keep the band going in some sense, I really don't know, but this sure as shit doesn't seem like that. Like damn, this really is how every single group of people acts when someone is a survivor, or when someone else is a rapist, huh? Just wow. Every single group of people, complete self interest and disregard. I can't think about it in any other light. Similar kinds of situations have played out over and over again lately and I am so disheartened. I'm bracing myself for some awful comment to come out next. The whole thing is just queasy the more i learn about it.
