Morrissey: eating meat is the same as paedophilia

with that logic, morrissey probably thinks jizzing down the drain is child abuse too

Does he feel this way about animals who eat meat? I can totally picture him telling a dog to fuck off.

 

I was eating cereal when I read this. milk nearly went all over my laptop.

 

the idea of Morrissey very sternly and assertively telling a dog to fuck off. vivid stuff.

 

I LOLed heartily at this too - I can imagine him singing it to the dog in his Morrissey voice, too:

 

"Oh doggie, you can fuck the right off....ohhhhhhh"

"meat is murdr lol"

So let's see, non-meat eating, asexual, bland yet oddly appealing musician. I've concluded Morrissey is a reincarnated amoeba.

the only way i can stand to listen to the smiths is if i pretend all of their songs are extremely sarcastic. heaven knows i'm miserable now is the only one that actually sounds this way in reality. maybe all of morrissey's quotes are meant to be ironic shit stirring? he's looking a bit like bruce campbell mixed with ed o'brien from radiohead.

Morrissey would be pretty ridiculous if he weren't responsible for so much amazing music. The Smiths stuff straight up through You Are The Quarry (and really all the stuff since, too) is all pretty great. And although his outrage is often quite hyperbolic, he's usually saying something true-ish.

Limpy don't you usually say "it doesn't matter if a rapist says 2+2=4, facts stand on their own merit?" Morrissey was being a fucking dingus here and his argument is nonsense regardless of his unrelated achievements.

Of course, I'm just saying that if he were a random guy acting the way he does then it'd be (much more) ridiculous. I'm not at all talking about the truth of what he's saying being contingent on the quality of his music. I think what he's saying makes no sense when all you see is the first sentence (*ahem*) but makes plenty of sense when you read the second.

He's just saying that eating meat is exploiting a helpless being. It's a completely sane notion, but as usual he finds a controversial way to express it.

I guess as someone who never cared for the smiths it's easier for me to lol at the guy. I read all the sentences in that article (yay me!) and basically this is how I translated morrissey's lines one by one:

1. Meat eaters are paedophiles. No difference.
2. Morrissey only talks to people who don't eat beings. Plants, of course, are not beings, or Morrissey would have no one to talk to.
3. Meat eaters love destroying life, shedding blood and slitting throats. If you meet one in a bar, they may shed your blood and slit your throat if you give them your phone number.
4. "Believing" in slaughterhouses means that you support Auschwitz. Morrissey doesn't believe in slaughterhouses.
5. If meat eaters think flesh isn't so bad, they should just microwave their children. Again, no difference.

That's some class-A trolling IMO and I actually kinda want to support this weirdness, but it just gives both sides of the animal rights argument ammo to scream at each other senselessly ("nazi!!" "shut up terrorist!!"), so, unsupportable garbage it is.

I'm sure his music is nice, though

Yeah see that's the thing he very well does consort with meat-eaters

he's just being poetic and hyperbolic

and he's not calling meat-eaters pedophiles

he's saying that meat-eating and pedophilia are both people preying on small helpless creatures

hyperbolic poems in the middle of an interview are the worst.

lol maybe

if you watch him in video interviews

such Morrisseyisms make more sense i think

where you can see that he really tries to flip language like Oscar Wilde

and just to clarify I'm not being an apologist I'm just saying it's not what it looks like

When Morrissey wants to say "I'm sad" he says "the universe is dying"

that's his way

lol, shame on him. overdone hyperbole is literally the worst thing to happen to language ever.

good lord i've told you a billion times not to be hyperbolic

mozz is such a shitstain

and i would disagree that everything from the smiths up to you are the quarry is great

kill uncle, for instance, is a steaming pile of shit. cow shit. slaughtered, now-burger cow shit.

remember that time he said the chinese (all of them, every last one of the billion plus) are a "subspecies" because they all (apparently) eat dog? yeah. his particular brand of "vegan activism" or w/e is just fucking intolerably stupid. and not clever. i think he THINKS he's being clever, or something. but nope.

and i am saying this as a massssssive smiths fan and vegetarian (former vegan)

What? Aww c'mon, I love Kill Uncle. It's got one of my absolute favorite Morrissey songs (and one of the most beautiful, inspiring and life-affirming song I've ever heard...a call to arms for individuality and punk/DIY ethic):

Now, if you had said Maladjusted then I could possibly agree...

alright so maybe there's an argument to be made for kill uncle. one song. okay.

there is not, however, any argument - in this dimension or any other - that can frame maladjusted as anything other than the fetid pile of pig vomit that it is.

edit:

oops maybe i should have read your last line there

let's throw southpaw grammar in there too, because it's p bad.

i did like you are the quarry, and actually saw him when he was touring for it. still got a great voice. however, he has a bit of a paunch, and throwing his sweaty button up shirt into the audience in 2004 did not have remotely the same effect it would have had in 1985.

haha yeah

but I love Southpaw Grammar

That first song is fucking insane and awesome ("there's too many people, planning your downfall")

anyway, I dig the volatile vibe the album has

however I can understand how someone wouldn't like it

I want to go to a morrissey show, sit in the front row, eat a burger and look him eyeball to eyeball!

Why, because when someone disagrees with you then you want to hurt them?

lol @ the idea of hurting morrissey with proximity burgers

Proximity Burgers is a good band name/track title.

*sigh*

Morrissey done said a fing. Again.

I can't help but picture Morrissey singing about proximity burgers

Praaaaximmiteee, ooooh!

Get your paws off thoooose...

Beeeef curtains,

The neighbours'll start

T-t-talking, you big paedo...

La la la la la la la.

Morrissey is awesome. Haters gonna hate.

Ah Morrissey, how I love thee... You big twat.
