Falling in Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke continues to be one of many extra outspoken musicians on social media, however a few of his latest commentary regarding gender id has led to a ban on the TikTok social media website, whereas the singer additionally claims to have acquired a “shadow ban” from Twitter (or X as it’s now referred to as).
On July 25 Radke Tweeted, “Imagine getting your tik tok deleted, or losing your job or alienated for saying that a trans woman can’t have a period, you all have mothers and sisters and wives and girlfriends and know damn well the struggles of being a born women and the pain of endometriosis etc and have the audacity to try and silence or censor the reality. BULLSHIT.”
He later returned sharing a tweet that featured a photograph of trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney holding a field of Tampax, including, “The same people that call me a womanizer, abuser, and bigot are the same people that support the ideology that trans can have periods and support tampon companies making trans the spokesperson. It’s extremely offensive to all women, to mock their biology. stop pretending this is okay.”
Later that night time, Radke added, “I have officially changed my lyrics In I’m not a vampire from ‘I feel like a lady that is pregnant with a baby’ to ‘I feel like a birthing person that is pregnant with a person who’s been birthed.’ Please like me.”
The following day (July 26), Radke returned to Twitter to share among the pushback on his commentary, noting, “These are the people pushing back about common sense, all impressionable kids hiding behind cartoon avatars, if you don’t think this is insanely telling about the future I don’t know what will, we have brainwashed kids into thinking that basic biology and common sense need to be argued, the confusion of American kids is the agenda to the powers that be, divide and conquer. a man isn’t a man and a women isn’t a woman anymore, nobody can tell you what a women is, they’re all terrified to get publicly shamed for it. i never went to school in 4th grade and worried about my sexuality. I was excited to go home and play with toys and ride my bike, will this ever fix itself? or are we all doomed, like 476 A.D rome?”
Radke, who had adopted Michael Jackson as a display screen identify, then continued the dialogue with a few of his Twitter followers. When one individual urged {that a} girl was “anyone who identifies as such,” the singer shot again, “Cool I identify as a black man, do I get my reparations now?”
When the unique commenter responded that it was “a completely different thing,” Radke returned, “It’s not a completely different thing, you need the respect the fact that I identify as a black man if you want me to respect you identify as a woman, you aren’t allowed to pick and choose.” Additional dialogue down this path continued with others as properly.
By July 29, Radke’s ban on TikTok was official, with the singer sharing, “Banned from tik tok for saying most women don’t wanna be called ‘cis’ good thing this does not matter to me.” Another fan then famous that Radke’s tweets had not been exhibiting up in his feed, and asking if the Falling in Reverse singer had acquired a “shadow ban” from the platform.
