I was disgusted when I discovered that the members of Gorilla Biscuits were neither ape nor biscuit.

When i was having my over 40s man rant there i was thinking about when zappa spent years defending singing about satan and blow jobs and stuff in court against republicans in the 80s. I was wondering how that A vs B would sit present day - but yeah you are right, i'm mostly using this as an example of art losing out to people being overly literal because it's fish in a barrel for that.I think you'll find that fans now sue computer game companies for not providing product with the right ending and I reckon Neil Young would lose his Trans (!!!!!) lawsuit if it happened in 2021.
like shooting fish in a barrel
Ridiculously easy, as in Setting up a computer nowadays is like shooting fish in a barrel. This hyperbolic expression alludes to the fact that fish make an easy target inside a barrel (as opposed to swimming freely in the sea). [Early 1900s]
This analogy is offensive to vegans and elevates the voice of gun rights lobbyists.When i was having my over 40s man rant there i was thinking about when zappa spent years defending singing about satan and blow jobs and stuff in court against republicans in the 80s.

I was actually getting the impression from all of this that they decided on the name change themselves rather than being coerced into it. That they probably came up with the name naively but had moved on since.Agist, gendering post there from lilli #cancelled.
While on one hand i'm pretty aware that the new gens adore everything to be completely literal and there's nothing really wrong with commerciall rebranding for the people who want to come to your shows - I'm wound up and over 40 because, well, the point is that it is art, as Unicron says, it just is. Not everything I don't like is deliberate attack on my subconcious or my social standing - it's bad faith to make that assumption - And i'm not making digs at Gilla Bandilli here moreso the people who have A: taken public possession of that art and B: decided it was doing things I really don't think it ever had the slightest intention of doing. I do not think for a second they picked that name to wind up women - and its not over 40s men who've steered them here.
Creating really needs people getting into thier most niave, idealist, removed from reality selves - of course there are 1000's of songwriters who'll write you 'happy birthday over 40s man special song' on contract and hit machines who see it as a sport and all different types but the idea that art can be possessed 3rd party and reshaped is what I don't like about this. Of course they can do what they like, people can do what they like but you have to respect that people making art are trying to hit an apex of expression and sometimes a dumb band name gives a naive enough mental space to remove yourself from reality long enough to create in. I just see some people taking things overly literally, stepping into that space and throwing monkeys on peoples backs.
I am so cancelled.
I can relate to that. I used to do Violent Femmes Country Death Song when I was busking years ago. Wouldn't do it now. Or any of that nationalistic nonsense like Only Our Rivers Run Free. Come Out Ye Black And Tans is handy to know though if you want to deliberately offend someonethe reality was that as they grew up and matured they weren’t comfortable with the content of those songs.
They'd have to steal 10 grand from someone to pay to get that changedAnd yet Ham Sandwich are stuck with their shite name.

It's because girls are worse at stuff than boys I thinkcan someone explain what was objectionable about the name girl band. not trying to be contrarian here, I genuinely want to know the substance of the complaint. is it because they’re all dudes?
So you only listened to the emotional content of what these women were saying to you, and didn't pay any attention what they actually said?
Surely that's a Thumped threadI guess they could call themselves Bands Names.
