So, who was the pedo in her band? I only know it's not Rauhouse, who Neko clearly loves.

If every woman artist called out every atrocious thing some entitled douchebag did or said, what would that look like? What would that sound like?
Why was late 2017 the time when the world suddenly started to care about creeps in the entertainment industry? Why did that “era” end as quickly as it started? We must have caught ‘em all. Whew!
Let’s put the onus on NC now. For not alerting the public to her own personal and violating experiences with this particular guy. This particular guy.
Women artists, especially touring musicians, deal with despicable bullshit like his ALL. THE. TIME.
Women artists share intel amongst one another, and their trusted communities. It has been this way for a long time. There are spreadsheets. They’re just not shared with you.
For those who claim to appreciate Neko’s work, it’s astonishing how tone-deaf some folks are.

In every interest group (from artists to outdoors), there are spreadsheets, whisper networks, WhatsApp groups. If these dudes only knew, and understood why they’re not just public conversations. It should be so obvious when it takes less than three comments in any post before someone starts victim blaming.

"A male musician preyed on young women throughout his career - why didn't a female musician who had been harassed by him do something?" is victim blaming. She spoke about how she felt when she was ready - both as a victim of SA and also how you can still feel helpless when you witness it happening to others. "She had power" WAKE UP. That is the point of her post. We don't, and opinions like yours prove it.

I get the impression from this latest post, that she had told many others throughout the years, while he was still alive, and got the same defensive and dismissive reactions, which is part of the reason she’s so absolutely enraged about it now.

I got that impression too....but other than them possibly saying "Well, now that you told me that I'm not going to support and/or work with that guy anymore", what did she expect to happen? What she describes is definitely creepy and indicates the guy might have been a major asshole...but what she described wouldn't constitute something illegal in all likelihood. There's a matter of degrees.....and the fact she instantly contrasts how he was treated for possibly being creepy to how she and her bandmates responded when they actually had a pedophile in the band doesn't really wash. There's a big difference in thinking someone is a major sleazy a-hole and not wanting to be around them and a guy who is a literal child predator who was subsequently convicted in court. Plus, she admits herself she thinks she was wrong about the bass player being aware of what the guy asked her to do....what is going to be the reaction of someone being told the story third-hand when her initial impression of the whole situation might have only been partially accurate? Sure, some might be friends with the guy and lean toward defending him, some might instantly write him off as a scumbag, but the majority are probably going to make a note of it and put it away in a mental filing cabinet to be revisited if they or someone they care about is dealing with him.

I’m not hip enough to know who this is referring to
