Incidentally, his methodology in vilifying and embarrassing Trump wasn't in and of itself transphobic. Context and intent is everything.
It was, and intent doesn't matter. It was transphobic trash regardless of whether he meant it to be or not. Trans people are harmed.
BS. Intent is the key. Sorry but if you are having just a kneejerk reaction of offense then bye.
Or read literally any of the thousands of words by actual trans people who object to this imagery.
Sorry your heroes are bigotes trash but your heroes are bigotes trash.
I think waters is a twat, I just like his music. However I'm over people looking to be offended.
me: "Wouldn't it be great if people didn't harm trans women?" you: "Gosh you love being offended."
No it wasn't, Some was, the majority was Water's anger at having no father. Animals was all about right-wing politics, mostly Thatcher
WYWH and The Wall were explicitly about the record industry. The Wall came about after he spit on a fan during the Animals tour.
Animals was about capitalism and exploitation, as much a (rightful) indictment about the industry as anything else.
It wasn't until The Final Cut that he got truly explicit about contemporary politics, and that album was wholly political.
But in the years between DSOTM and TFC his music and tours were aggressively about owning his music.
To the point where unusually aggressive measures against bootleggers were taken at his request. Few live recordings of shows exist
specifically because he wanted to control them. Contrast to, e.g. Springsteen, who has a massive live archive from the same era.
I was there at the time and know exactly what the zeitgeist in Britain was having lived it. I'm afraid you are misinformed.
