If you want to stop to listen, to support this band, I wont stop you, as I wont stop anyone. It’s your right, your choice. But, this story about the rape " could be " a lie, and this possibility seems to be ignore here. I dont mind about it, I just notice.
I’ve been reading, and I find it understandable to want to dissociate oneself from potential mess, foolishness, distaste, confusion and just plain bad vibes, whether its known what really happened or not, who’s lying and who’s telling the truth. Some people just want no parts of it at all after bad news. Everyone’s different. -shrug-
Anyway, back on topic: ultimately, this is a terrible, distressing set of affairs just by the nature of it being what it is. Those statements were lukewarm and vague AF. Just crap all around.
Whatever happens from here, I wonder if they’ll last another year after this? I know bands/artists have had releases shelved for “less” and have survived “worse,” so it’s kinda up in the air for me.

If truth doesn’t matter, I’ll remember what to do If I want to break someone career. Because it will impact their career in some way, and as you said : " I wonder if they’ll last another year after this? "
Have at it. I’d rather stay on topic however, so I’m not responding further to you in this thread.
I don’t think there’s much else to say at this point. Band wants to move past it so as fans we aren’t getting the details we need to make a better judgement. Support them or don’t, that’s up to you. If any new developments surface, then put them in a new thread.
