The love scene in question:

At this, Eliza and Ezra rolled together into one giggling snowball of full-figured copulation, screaming and shouting as they playfully bit and pulled at each other in a dangerous and clamorous rollercoaster coil of sexually violent rotation with Eliza’s breasts barrel-rolled across Ezra’s howling mouth and the pained frenzy of his bulbous salutation extenuating his excitement as it whacked and smacked its way into every muscle of Eliza’s body except for the otherwise central zone.

A musician. Like Cher, he’s known by only a single name (though his birth name is Steven).

I also have it on good authority that he does, in fact, ride a cock-horse…

A sort of human endurance test of preening wankery. There was a kind of contrary fun about him until he stopped being coy about his racism.

I am going to guess he’s just borrowing from something from his past but has trouble translating it into something people would more traditionally get. But ultimately, I don’t know too much about Morrissey - other than at one point he was liked culturally (by those who listened to him) and then there was a sharp turn in which he is now greatly disliked. I enjoy The Smiths, although I’m not gunna lie and be absolutely honest in that I found them as an adult. But all things aside I am wondering if it’s because he is quite vocal about his opinions and they are quite unfavorable. And once you are seen as an “enemy of the status quo” you are open for ridicule as a whole.

But also he gave things a go. Eh.

But I do know he spoke out against meat and the tories. So eh. But someone else is probably way more tuned in on this as a whole over <<< moi.

He’s kinda a shithead. And by all accounts enjoys being seen in that light. IMO he claims more than his share for the success of The Smiths. Just listen to any Johnny Marr solo songs and it’s clear where their sound came from.

Don’t know a damn thing about a damn thing here. I really don’t know too much about a, b, or c. I just know folks hate him and that’s been pretty consistent for quite some time now. Cunts gunna cunt, but I don’t think that’s too off from how I hear it is with headmen (is that what they call them?) at the time.

I literally started reading this and I just don’t care enough to have this information floating around my head. I don’t like celebrity worship. But I also hate bullying. And I consider sitting around laughing at people that. So that’s why I figured I’d state something. Not so much because I want to defend Morrissey. More so because he did a thing, let sleeping dogs lay. Who gives a crap? And people can believe in whatever they want, as long as they’re not plowing in to others. I do agree that celebrities should be more responsible with their beliefs. But I also think people are entitled to their opinions even if they’re absolutely drenched in shit. I’ve got nothing else. You want him to fade? Don’t bring him up. But bullying is for chumps regardless of how it’s done.

Sorry… you think by posting a thread about Morrissey’s shitty book on Lemmy, I’m bullying him?

Because if Morrissey is on Lemmy and he’s that easily bullied, let me say this to him: Get fucked Morrissey, you racist piece of shit. Your book is awful and you’re worse.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
