    Reading this article, is that your takeaway from this? The band doesn't seem to have had much at all to do with it

      The founding manager of rock band Evanescence claims he was fired after reporting that Tait assaulted him. An Evanescence co-founder denies he was fired for that reason

      ID verification won't protect anyone from rapists like him.

      But it just might protect PREDATORS from CONSEQUENCES by suppressing public knowledge of their crimes.

      Jesus fucking Christ we need to riot.

        When I was young, I went to several concerts for DC Talk (his band at the time) and the Newsboys (the band he became the frontman for).

        While I'm still religious, I've since become an outspoken critic of corporate Christianity. Having a bunch of rich people singing pop songs to arenas full of people paying hundreds of dollars each with million-dollar lighting systems spotlighting the singers doesn't feel very humble and spiritual.

        So it's fair to say I already had issues with this dude for profiteering of people's faith. With the newest revelations, I'm shaking with rage. This assholes and those who hid his actions pretended to be faithful servants while destroying lives and raking in profits and praise. They pretended to be exemplars of goodness so they could establish implicit trust, then used that trust to violate others.

        Fuck them all.

          Yeah this seems like one member was put in an awkward position at a young age and didn't have the understanding he now does. He did harm but seemingly unwillingly

                    Yeah. How very predictable. At this point if I hear a loud Christian, I just assume they’re doing something really awful.

                      My dyslexic brain somehow read that as "Chris Rock".

                      My AuDHD brain assumed Chris was just short for Christian before I got past the word 'star' and also read it as Chris Rock 😕

                        While those accusations sound bad, doesn't Evanescence sound worse?
                        Criminally bad?
