Can someone please summarise what’s going on with matty atm? Why is everyone going off on him on tiktok? I’ve heard one or two clips from that podcast and I didn’t see a problem with what he said
So….I haven’t listened to it, firstly - but from what I gather, things that were said on the podcast that were sexist, racist, misogynous, homophobic, the lot. The general feeling is that it goes against everything matty has been saying for so long. He’s typically so inclusive. People want an acknowledgment of the situation. I THINK (but am not positive) he also did something sort of mocking his fans as well.
Some of the things that were said didn’t come directly from him, but he went along with them and laughed at them, etc. And people are saying it’s not acceptable in general but it’s also somehow more painful coming from matty, who is generally great at making his fandom feel appreciated and seen?
As I said, I’ve not listened to it, but the reaction seems a bit extreme to me. but as someone else put it…. People spend thousands of pounds and lots of time supporting this band, and they feel like he’s throwing it in their faces.

Wasn't expecting this so soon!

What’s confusing me is that the wording has changed now! It did say uk tour, but now it says uk show. I’d love another tour! I’d love some sort of redo of the Finsbury tour. That they changed it from tour makes me think it’s not a festival.
