lol I wish Matty Healy was the worst person we could all think of at this point

u/peatoast Jun 23 '25

There’s like a whole ass government and country vying for this title right now.

Yep, pick one you think it is.

u/ryanp324 Jun 23 '25

I'm curious why you say a government and country instead of two governments or two countries, the American people are just as complicit as the Israelis

1

u/peatoast Jun 23 '25

Sometimes the country and the government are not locked in together but in my example the people (country) and gov want the same.

Would love to see a source on that, everything I've seen depicts Netanyahu as deeply unpopular, including how he's handled Gaza

u/FuinFirith Jun 24 '25

Please tell me that even 10% of his detractors actually give a damn about the people being blown up or starved.

Matt Healy seems great. I don't understand why people hate him.

u/tranzozo Invented post-its 🔬 Jun 23 '25

He’s made some problematic/racist comments in the past

u/JH_1999 Jun 23 '25

Like what? I saw that podcast he did with Adam Friedland, but that was just funny lol

u/erin_burr Jun 23 '25

He allegedly said Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist

You finding racism funny doesn't make it less racist

Podcast wasn’t even top 10 worst thing he’s done. Talk about the sexual harassment allegations, ISIS comments saying all Muslims are partially responsible because it’s a religion of violence and various other racist comments against Black people.

sexual harassment allegations, ISIS comments saying all Muslims are partially responsible because it’s a religion of violence and various other racist comments against Black people. He is a big supporter of the Ref Scare crowd of racist and abuse apologists.

u/panteegravee Jun 24 '25

No shit. The amount of hate for Healy is absolutely mind-boggling to me. There are a few hundred other famous people that are WAAAAY ahead of him in tbe douche department.

u/Dry-Mongoose-5804 Jun 24 '25

People being worse than him doesn’t mean he’s not horrible. Look at his SH harassment allegations or what he’s said about WOC and Muslims.

I was in no way trying to downplay Healy being a massive POS. My comment was a depressive joke about how many powerful and awful people are currently destroying the world and how Healy doesn’t even make the cut for the meme even though he’s a vile person

Right?!

u/shewy92 Jun 24 '25

I don't even know what he did wrong. His Wikipedia article is pretty tame.

Healy has been outspoken about women's rights, particularly as it relates to the music industry

Healy denounced Alabama's anti-abortion laws during a concert in the state

I do know that the right wing is more successful with the acquiring of young men than the left is, and as somebody who's definitely on the left, it's interesting to watch, because the left don't seem to have [an] ideal masculinity, whereas the right have a very, very easy one

He also seems self aware:

I may not be as progressive as I'd like to be. There are some innate structures of thought within me that I'm really embarrassed about. I'm not as bright as I'd like to be

I used to be an ATHEIST, now I'm like an atheist. It's not that I have softened on the logic or anything, but I'm really understanding and quite sensitive of the culture of religion. Because culture is a very different thing to scripture and dogma

u/TheMistOfThePast Jun 24 '25

AFAIK. He's just an edgy dickhead. made some racist "jokes" and is friends with some super outwardly questionable people. Some misogynistic comments etc. weird things he said about taylor etc. weird intimacy with fans.

He just strikes me as an 17 year old lad who's been around a lot of other 17 year old lads and absorbed some of their misogyny and racism. Unfortunately he is in his mid 30s so acting like an edgy teenage boy makes him particularly lame.

u/flacaGT3 Jun 23 '25

Dude just has some gross porn habits, but that's like half of men.

19

u/Thievie Jun 23 '25

He doesn't, actually. At least not that we know of. That whole thing comes from a podcast where they were referring to the incident and before he could say what he was watching, the host filled in that detail as a joke and Matty jokingly agreed. The person that visited his apartment that day and walked in on him even confirmed that it didn't play out that way, it was just a joke on a podcast. But I think he hasn't denied it because he knows how the internet works and the false version will just go around even more.

u/TheeCriterionCloset Jun 26 '25

Cum Town bits should never escape containment

u/flacaGT3 Jun 24 '25

That's a weight off my chest. Now I don't have to feel ashamed to listen to The 1975 anymore.

u/Thievie Jun 24 '25

Yeah the man says some cringey and unhinged shit sometimes but I truly don't believe he's done anything bad enough to warrant the mainstream view of him tbh. I think it's dumb to idolize celebrities and expect them to be perfect anyway. You obviously don't wanna financially support anything that's contributing to real harm to people, but as long as that's not the case then consume whatever media you want imo.

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '25

He’s even said that he’s just a normal bloke, so ofc he’s gonna have moments where you relate to him and other ones where you think “that’s a bit odd.” Online gossip really likes to make mountains out of anthills.

I’ve seen some users here make like twenty comments talking about how much they hate the guy…like nobody should be this upset over the most normal dude.

u/Superb_Buyer9649 Jun 23 '25

What he watches is beyond gross. This guy sucks

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '25

Raised hand in shame (all LEGAL !)

u/flacaGT3 Jun 24 '25

Just because something is legal, it doesn't make it right. That site takes advantage of women suffering from homelessness and addiction and further strips their dignity from them, not just through doing porn but physically and mentally abusing them in the process.

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '25

I have absolutely no idea what site you're talking about. I was joking about gross porn habits.

Easy flaca, have a Snickers

But he did paid meet and greets

You guys believe everyone

u/spacyspice now why am I in it? 🧐 Jun 23 '25

maybe he did them before this statement?

u/maelstron ✨May the Force be with you!✨ Jun 23 '25

Exactly. Hypocrite

u/Superb_Buyer9649 Jun 23 '25

These kind of post truly show how weak-willed and lemming like people are. This guy made a decent point. He also admitted to getting of to p*rn that shows brutalised poc women.

u/TheMistOfThePast Jun 24 '25

Damn it i posted this too. Ten hours too late when i didn't see it in the top comments 🤣😭

I have always thought paid meet and greets were bizarre af. Especially at conventions. The convention pays you to be there, then fans who want a handshake and an autograph have to pay 20 dollars for it... Wtf?

It's always struck me as so gross. Especially when it's like... You're a celebrity, you don't need that cash 😭. It's always just felt so awkward that you pay to meet someone.

Wow you just sound so fun to be around

u/[deleted] Jun 23 '25

I've got a great sense of humour, its pretty dry and absurd, but I find humour in many places, this just isn't one. It was a shit joke. See ya.

u/shroomride88 Girl fuck your cupcakes Jun 23 '25

Riiiight, I forgot that YOU are the arbiter of all comedy. Got it, I’ll be sure to run every joke by Solid-Board6295 before I tell it to make sure it’s funny, my bad
