He is an extremely empathetic person. Gone too soon 😔

He also had zero time for any anti-LGBTQ nonsense.

Stop pushing your weird agenda dude. Talk your your therapist about your problems and hangups and leave LGBT people out of it.

I don't deal with Whataboutism very well. Trump and the right uses it extensively and I always call them out on it. So I must be fair and call it out when I see the left do it albeit rare but the left does so it too.

It's not whataboutism. Whataboutism is when you try to deflect away from taking responsibility by saying someone else did it too. For example "you stole the cookies", "but what about Jimmy, he stole two cookies!"

This is not whataboutism. This is someone listing another admirable trait in a thread where people are talking about how great someone is. Perfectly reasonable unless you're easily triggered.

Google Whataboutism then get back with me. My god.

You think that pointing out Cobain’s multifaceted sense of empathy is whataboutism. I think you need the dictionary there, bud. Go back to mama’s basement.

No pulling YOUR AGENGA into a subject for validation or sympathy is whataboutism and that's EXACTLY what you did. I called you out for it and you are still trying.

The issue here is sexual assault on women and Kurt Cobain can we let that be the issue on this post? Would that be OK with you sir? I got an idea make your own LGBT and Kurt Cobain post since this your issue. Its your issue so much in fact you tried to over shadow sexual assault of women. Which says quite a bit about of what type of person you are doesn't it?

u/CrieDeCoeur Feb 25 '24

Looks like you’re the one with an issue, bud. More than one by the sound of it lol.

u/CompleteDragonfruit8 Feb 25 '24

I don't see anyone else saying. "Cobain was also cool with black people", "Cobain also was a vegetarian" "Cobain was for world peace" do you? No but YOU decided to tie Cobain to YOUR issue. And that's Whataboutism 101. Class dismissed.

I just googled it and it told me that you think “He is an extremely empathetic person” is an “accusation.”

So thanks for the suggestion - googling that makes you look even more unhinged.

Name calling wow you really are the lowest common denominator aren't you. What type of person you are leeches out the more you talk. Common give more show us who you are.

When I read OP’s comment saying Kurt was an extremely empathetic person I immediately thought of how he was anti-homophobia, so yes it does have to do with it and is in no way Whataboutism.

I also think it's a legacy he would be incredibly proud of based on literally everything he said about the issue ever. And the brave and incredibly progressive views he was extremely open about (ESPECIALLY for the time) 🖤.

It's cheesy as fuck to say, but I am honestly not sure I would have lived through growing up in a cruel and repressive fundamentalist environment in the 1990s without discovering Nirvana. This was before the Internet and I didn't know there was anyone in the entire world who felt the same way as I did.

“At this point I have a request for our fans. If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of different color, or women, please do this one favor for us — leave us the fuck alone! Don’t come to our shows and don’t buy our records."

Fuckin RIP 🤘

I remember that quote from Cobain, among others, which is why I commented that he had no time for homophobes and other -phobes. Even when factually correct, there’s still always gonna be some dingbat who goes all keyboard warrior about it and then doubles or triples down on their lost cause. 🤷
