Falling in Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke is rarely one to mince phrases or disguise his emotions, irrespective of how combative and contentious they might be. Over the weekend, for instance, he’s taken to X (previously Twitter) to share some robust ideas concerning pronouns, “trigger words” and American freedoms and rights.

From what we are able to inform, it began yesterday (Oct. 14), when Radke posted about how “the dawn of individualism in Rock is back,” citing artists reminiscent of Sleep Token, Bad Omens and Jeris Johnson as proof. Humbly, Jeris answered, “you forgot to name yourself,” to which one other consumer acknowledged: “Jeris I like u man but pls don’t support this transphobic asshole.”

It didn’t take lengthy earlier than individuals started arguing with and criticizing them for his or her views, in addition to for together with the next of their profile: “INFP-Omnisexual-Demiboy-Ashkenazi Jew-Horror Junkie-Council☭Communist/Leftist Unity-Scream and drum in bands.”

Earlier in the present day (Oct. 15), Radke continued to fireplace again with two extra tweets:

So bored with individuals complaining about their gender, capitalism, being offended by set off phrases, not with the ability to inform 2nd graders they’re non binary, calling everybody bigots and transphobic, that is AMERICA, try to be grateful that you simply’re even allowed to speak like this with out dropping your fucking head. complaining about how unhealthy you could have it in America is insane when wherever else you go on the earth they’d both snort at you or kill you. I’m proud to be an American, as I tour the nation and notice that I ain’t getting bombs dropped on me.

Let’s be trustworthy, go to every other nation on the earth and attempt to inform somebody your pronouns, Mexico for instance, they’d take a look at you want a fucking fool, I promise you want these individuals attempting to outlive and also you over right here attempting to drive individuals to handle your appropriate pronouns. Fucking embarrassing. take your professional nouns out of your bio I promise you it’s not what you suppose it seems like. or matter of reality, hold pronouns in your bio so I do know who to keep away from.

So far, he’s largely garnered help from his followers.

For occasion, somebody said, “Louder for those in the back!” and one other particular person reflected: “There’s people watching rockets be intercepted over head and bombs level city blocks in other countries. We are the luckiest people on earth.” Plus, one fan added: “Truth. Granted, of course, there are definitely things that our country needs to work on.. but we are still very very blessed to have what we have.”

Unsurprisingly, Radke’s ideas obtained pushback, too.

One particular person observed: “Funny, you’re tiggered on the internet about people being triggered on the internet. Congrats.” Elsewhere, somebody argued: “Um Ron….. Transgender people are in every country and all types of races. Some places don’t allow it. But they exist. Way back before any of us were born.”

Yet one other consumer expressed: “Bro just shut the fuck up stop trying to stay relevant by shitting on people for no reason. Completely unnecessary. Most if not all trans people I’ve encountered in my life don’t force anything on you and you’re exaggerating to the point of pure embarrassment.”

It’s price mentioning that Radke has been on the offensive lots these days. Earlier in October, for example, he condemned hair metallic legends L.A. Guns for utilizing laptops to help with their concert events. In addition, final month, Radke accused Motionless in White of stealing from Falling in Reverse by copying Falling in Reverse’s “Popular Monster” snippet for his or her “Werewolf” video.
