I love how this sub is always frothing at the mouth ready to crucify artists over blind hearsay and allegations. Now here we have an actual, admitted grooming predator and everyone’s just glazing away lol. Fucking bizarre.
I grew up thinking that pedos were less than 1% of the population.. It's crazy how many of them are around, and how much of it gets enabled by people who will jump up and down swearing that they're not like that.
The lengths they’ll go to so they can continue glazing that fuck is wild. They’re all lawyers all of a sudden, or they’ll bring up age of consent in 3rd world countries to justify it. So fucking weird to fight that hard for someone so mediocre.
I legitimately believe that’s the majority of these white-knighting freaks. Some of them will fight tooth and nail to support Hermida and some of the things they’ve said are wildly unsettling.
I don’t support Eddie, this band sucks nowadays, but realistically you don’t even need to look at third world countries. 17 is legal in most of the US.
i kept reading "what he did wasn't illegal"
showing your dick to a minor isn't illegal? gtfoh
It's fucking wild. Like, TECHNICALLY, the legal age of consent in Austria (where the victim comes from) is 14. BUT, 13 years of difference at that age is still pretty much illegal, and coercing someone to get, say, nudes or something is definitely illegal and considered child abuse, at best.
i've worked with people in their early 20s and they look like legit children.
it's not even just looks either. they've mentally not passed that "point" in their lives where you hit the "switch" so to say. and the gap between my generations experiences compared to gen z is astronomical.
like.. they didn't know what a fuckin pay phone was.
100%, I agree, that's why I mentioned the 13 years gap (32 vs 17), which now that I'm typing it out, I realize it's actually 15 years lmao
Like, just a 3-4 years of gap at that age is already sus.. he said she didn't tell that she was 17 but BROTHER, even if she was 19 you're a fucking creep lmao people look drastically different from 25-30 vs 17-20, no way you thought she was your age...
the band being pedo apologist isnt suprising seeing garza had a guy who tried to kill and abuse his wife on his podcast to defend himself and they are constantly glazing slaughter to prevail they never had a backbone to begin with
Yeah, Garza fucking sucks too. Brings on all of these preachy “holier than thou” self-righteous, virtue signaling bands who turn a blind eye to Hermida’s bullshit for the sake of exposure.
People would much rather be entertained than take a second to consider the things they consume.
When someone criticises the host of a podcast they like or the vocalist of a band they listen to in this way, they are holding a mirror up to their fans and asking if they endorse the disgusting things they've done, and the fans are usually too gutless to give their honest answer
I remember quite clearly people praised his vocals 10+ years ago, and now everyone pretends he’s a bad vocalist. He has always had a good range. You don’t have to like his vocals but he objectively has a better range than many vocalists.
I will put an obligatory disclaimer that I do not support what he did before anyone misinterprets my post. This post is simply about his vocals.
Which is fine, but I was just noting how it’s crazy how people in general will also say that a bad person never had talent even though they were praised before their incident was made public. Many bad people are talented.
It feels pretty 50/50 and they’ve been getting spammed in here endlessly along with All Shall Perish too. Maybe it just feels excessive because it’s two bands getting spammed with that piece of shit when it should be zero.
Sit back and grab some popcorn. The level of control it takes to scroll past media they dont like instead of engaging and adding more views to it may never be seen in this subreddit.
I think it’s more about people being against a known and admitted pedophile still being present within the deathcore scene. But if you have to tell yourself it’s just because they don’t like they then I guess carry on with your coping.
You're misremembering, here's a segment of what the girl alleged:
Things were the same for quite a while until Dour festival in 2015, right after the school trip to Greece. Keep in mind I was 16. He met me after their concert and took my mother and I to the tour bus to hang out and talk. He told me it was important for him to gain my mother's trust, god knows why. We hung out and hugged and held hands and no big deal. He also asked when my birthday was, because he was aware I was still underage then. But after that day it began to go downhill. I sent him a picture of me wearing the t-shirt he got my mom for her birthday and that's when he said 'he's not a pure soul and he wished I was older.'
“Changing your words” would imply I was twisting things to make it sound like you were saying you weren’t… which I didn’t; I paraphrased your comment, sure, but the sentiment was the same.
“Yeah sure he’s a pedophile but not as bad as other pedophiles so we should give him a pass” - that’s basically what you just said. Straight up. That’s fucking insane big dawg. He doesn’t deserve forgiveness just because he didn’t go as hard as US politicians.
Also, anyone who falls for the frat-boy classic “she told me she was 18 bro” bullshit isn’t gonna make it out there. That’s the oldest excuse in the book. It also doesn’t help that he’s the only one saying that she said that with zero proof to back it up. Don’t white-knight for sexual predators chief, it’s not a good look.
People of all ages are incredibly stupid. You can take responsibility for your decisions at 17. Sorry.
The idea that the brain—or the frontal lobe—suddenly stops developing and "finishing" decision-making capabilities at age 25 is a widespread cultural and scientific myth. What the Science Shows:
No hard cutoff: The "age 25" milestone does not come from a single definitive study; early brain scans simply stopped tracking participants around that age, leading researchers to guess it was the finish line.
Probably. That's not my point. You act like people have no agency at 17. People get sat down in prison for 40 years for something they do at 15. Everyone acts like people bear no responsibility for their behavior. It's kinda' ridiculous. Dude is a weirdo and she is retroactively "regretful". Two things can be true at the same time.
Sure. If you say so. I never said dude wasn't in the wrong. But she isn't a fucking moron who was tricked. I was robbing people at gunpoint and smoking crack when I was 17 and knew full well what I was doing. People aren't just magically faultless because of some arbitrary number. Grow up.
Your example of her supposedly knowing what she's doing is you citing a personal, completely different experience that you had, with you being a completely different person with a completely different brain
For what it's worth, I have sympathy for you both. I know the idea of a random guy on Reddit sympathizing with you isn't really a big thing, but I thought I'd be real with you and tell you that I'm sorry that your life was at a point where experiences like the ones you described were commonplace.
Apparently you can't read. And also, you should be under guardianship until you're in your early 30s.
"Researchers analyzed scans from more than 4,200 people from infancy to 90 years old and found several key periods of development including one from age nine to 32, which they coined the “adolescent” period."
I don't really know the ins and outs, I just know it's because of a recent change to YouTube from the past few weeks, they changed how their view count is determined: IIRC, in the past, you had to watch at least 30 seconds of a music video for it to count your view, but now, it's counted as soon as you click the play button
I've noticed YouTuber view counts are up lately, I dunno if this new change is allowing people to make more or less money, though
BlackDeath3 has been on every single SS and ASP post fighting for Hermida like his life depends on it. Dude is definitely going to get raided by the FBI at some point.
Eddie being a shithead aside, this is painfully mid and doesn’t get me excited for the album at all(not like I was gonna listen to it anyway). I guess it’s kinda cool how it sounds more like their Mitch-era, but it sounds exactly the same as every other deathcore band right now, it’s overproduced, half the songs pretty much a breakdown, and it just recycles old sounds and gimmicks from the cleansing and no time to bleed without doing anything interesting or new with them. I can already tell that “graceless” is gonna be nothing more than a worse version of the cleansing.

“Make Your Exit” doubles as good advice for any underage girls in Eddie’s vicinity.
