Ableism
Lindsey follows an anti-BPD ( Borderline Personality Disorder) page on twitter and has on several occasions retweeted (then later deleted.) and liked tweets that have abusive and ableist language in them, showing that she supports this way of thinking. Some of these likes/retweets include weaponizing recovery language, trivializing the use of gaslighting (which is psychological abuse.) intentionally triggering others, using ableist and outdated terms like sociopath, narcissist, and psychopath, she's also called those who have BPD "parasites" who need to "seek help."
So, this goes further than MSI casually using the r slur in their songs to "speak from the perspective of an ableist." But why does Jimmy often play devil's advocate for these types of people? Especially when there are actions behind this behavior off stage when he doesn't have the excuse of "satire/irony/being in a shock rock band." Or whatever new apologist rhetoric they have taught their fans to use.
And before you all twist yourselves into knots to explain away this behavior, you need to realize that being part of a marginalized group does not exempt you from being bigoted towards that group. Jimmy being dyslexic and having ADHD doesn't keep him from being ableist, just like how him being a poc doesn't keep him from being a racist, and both Jimmy and Lindsey being bi doesn't keep them from being homophobic. This brings me to my next pointTransphobia
There's a video where Jimmy is speaking to the crowd and when he realizes that one of the people he's speaking to is trans, he immediately starts saying transphobic "jokes" about them being born in the wrong body and other disgusting things.
"Well, that's just Jimmy's sense of humor!" Blah blah blah, same excuses every time.
Here’s the thing, if Jimmy (and Lindsey, I’ll get to her) think transphobic jokes are funny (just like how they think racist, pedophiliac, nazi, and ableist jokes are) that still makes them transphobic. Having a dark sense of humor does not give you a pass to be a bigot. If you think racist/homophobic jokes are funny then that means you’re racist and homophobic. It’s really that simple.
"But that's so long ago!"
Okay, Lindsey tweeted @ garbage (the band, who MSI were playing a festival with at the time) when Garbage brought up the lack of women involved, Lindsey took it upon herself to say that Jimmy plans to "tuck" at their next show, so it would make him half female. This was in 2013, which was not that long ago, and she was 37 at the time. Old enough to know better. This was also around the time that she was rebranding herself as this woke feminist, but this is classic transphobia.
Lindsey later deleted the tweet, but the screenshots still exist. Time passing is not an apology, and neither is deleting your tweets. Lindsey has a history of disinforming her fans. This is just one of the many examples of that.
And for those of you who still think Lindsey is a feminist (after all she sat in a car and said those words out loud. What do you mean she's victim blamed, sided with abusers, and body shamed other women?) this would make her a terf.Since y'all ask for sources as if that’s some kind of gotcha, keep in mind that Lindsey constantly deletes tweets after getting backlash for them, not because she’s suddenly learned the error of her ways. If that were true she wouldn’t still be acting the way that she does. Classic case of “sorry she got caught.” There has never once been an apology for the things she and her band have done or any changed behavior.
