I like the album cover, but where's the track list?

back in my day kids wanted to be doctors and astronauts and princesses, now they just want to be ammo in internet flame wars

He looks pretty well fed

Damn. I get that the guy has some controversial opinions and can be a bit of a blowhard about it, but the bitterness here is intense…

he keeps showing up, which does nothing to discourage my assumption that he likes the abuse

For how many posters can this be said? (Change the pronoun as appropriate.)

I don't know who Chris Ott is and I don't give a fuck.

You’re being too simplistic and you’re insulting my poor heart (Turrican), Wednesday, 26 August 2015 16:12 (eight years ago) link

good call

For context, and because it's much more interesting than Ott being creepy and abusive on the internet yet again, there's a storify of the responses to Jessica Hopper's question about sexism in the music industry here: https://storify.com/Laupina_/from-the-margins

one way street, Wednesday, 26 August 2015 18:19 (eight years ago) link

man, those remarks to Sadie Dupuis are completely unacceptable. I mean, a troll is a troll is a troll, but still: his "bad boy" persona is a flimsy cover for utterly pedestrian phobic sexist garbage.

the tune was space, Wednesday, 26 August 2015 18:54 (eight years ago) link

he claims she omitted the tweet he was responding to, which had similar language. I can't find it though

polyphonic, Wednesday, 26 August 2015 18:57 (eight years ago) link

Oh, I found it. It was from a few months ago. I guess he meant it as a callback?

polyphonic, Wednesday, 26 August 2015 18:58 (eight years ago) link

I'm not sure of the timeline here but it looks like Ott's tweets are old too since they're responding to a handle she doesn't use anymore

Why because she True and Interesting (President Keyes), Wednesday, 26 August 2015 19:01 (eight years ago) link

She made an obvious sonic youth reference at his expense, he made "hermaphrodite" jokes in response. Either he's being facetious or forgot the name of a SY song about rock critics, guessing former

he harasses women on twitter all the time

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 26 August 2015 19:11 (eight years ago) link

his twitter feed thru 8/24 is pretty *steeples fingers*

goole, Wednesday, 26 August 2015 19:11 (eight years ago) link

"harassing women on twitter all the time" should be a steely dan post-reunion lyric

is there a reading of this tweet other than the one I'm employing https://twitter.com/shallowrewards/status/634145850026033152

Hector Ringtone (DJ Mencap), Wednesday, 26 August 2015 19:22 (eight years ago) link

something I did not say in response to that post: a later instance of feeling like I don't count is that one thing that ran on collapseboard or wherever on ott's latest crusade against pitchfork, and in the comments he would respond to the men there (including pitchfork writers!) with comments to the effect of "you know you're my man, but..." and then ignore the women entirely

not sure just how much 'chris ott is awful and a fucking creep' we can handle but there's more to be found in this feed https://twitter.com/ween_ebooks

i retract my earlier 'damn' re: the vitriol this guy gets here and elsewhere, he does it to himself...

Who will protect the innocent 21 year-olds from those lecherous "adult" 35 year-olds? Oh, the humanity. I actually apologized - but you won't see that on the timeline.

eight months pass...

so apparently Chriss Ott is REALLY popular on reddit and 4chan

flappy bird, Sunday, 15 May 2016 23:20 (eight years ago) link

he did an AMA yesterday on r/indieheads and it was like, we are not worthy. i never heard of this guy before i read about him on ILM, so it was sort of a shock to see people (teenagers?) worshipping him

flappy bird, Sunday, 15 May 2016 23:21 (eight years ago) link

people really respond to that level of financial success
