I remember her talking about her GOT experience and how it affected her. :(
I can't read the article because I know it will be too triggering but I hope she has a good support system and will be ok.

“He’s told the world time and time again, ‘This is who I am,’” says Bianco. “He hid in plain sight.”

This is so true and so goddamn enraging

[damaliaraya]

And now assholes are using that to ‘defend’ him. Twitter is full of “well what did they expect, it’s Manson.”

And like, idk, maybe they expected to be treated as human beings worthy of respect and common decency?

People using that reasoning has been very weird to me, because I'm sure plenty of them are the "you shouldn't judge a book by its cover" types but it's not surprising that the morality of people shifts depending on the subject being discussed.

I remember a popular, or at least known, narrative that was clear to me as a child only vaguely aware of Manson was that there was more to him, he was intelligent, and to not judge him by his outward appearance etc.

He is trash. I am so here for these people being exposed recently. I just wonder how many other victims there were.

[milkionnaire]

That was such a harrowing read. This part especially bears repeating, constantly: “He’s told the world time and time again, ‘This is who I am,’” says Bianco. “He hid in plain sight.”

reading rn, but didnt realize TWELVE women came forward. Who are the bands he's toured with?

[er1s]

From the wiki (I'm assuming they'll want to be excluded from this narrative, too bad)-related bands, co headliners, etc

Of the supporting acts..

Picture Me Broken's singer is daughter of Gregg Allman (of The Allman Brothers Band/ex-husband of Cher) so I'd hope that might have protected her.

I used to know a guy who worked for gODHEAD & was friendly with them, and he was an abusive piece of shit, and that's all I'm gonna say about that. Manson produced gODHEAD's debut album.

Jack Off Jill included the now-ex-girlfriend of Twiggy Ramirez, Manson's bassist, who accused Twiggy last year (what is time? maybe 2019?) of raping & abusing her.

The Union Underground had one song that was a minor hit back in the day called "Turn Me On, Mr. Deadman."

Powerman 5000's lead singer is the younger brother of Rob Zombie.

Vanity Beach used to be called CVM & the only song of theirs I know is called "Bitch in a Bodybag" so do with that what you will.

ooh, to me they were just a bunch of nobodies. This fleshes things out a lot more.

You should make an ONTD original- a who's who on Manson's life so we can start to get the full picture on who were the enablers, etc.
Name and shame
