Alice Cooper has said what loads of people think but are too scared to say, and the cosmetics firm who produce his make up products have dropped him.
.
Hopefully he won't back down on this one.

Rock legend Alice Cooper dropped after trans comments

Alice Cooper, the eyeliner wearing “Godfather of Shock Rock,” was dumped by a cosmetics company after the singer questioned the rush to perform trans surgeries on kids and said that transitioning genders was a “fad.”

Well they’re terrible allies anyway, not only is Alice Cooper a ‘cishet white man” (boo, hiss), he also works with Johnny Depp. So supporting alleged women beaters is fine, but don’t you say mean things about kids being sterilised before they’re too young to know what that actually entails!

'I've got no friends cos they read the papers
Now they can't be seen
With me and I'm getting real shot down now
And l'm feeling mean
No more Mr Nice Guy !'

How prescient his lyrics seem now.

I've always loved this one (a slower song). Alice Cooper and Chris Cornell working together worked really well.

Tut tut tut.

Bad allies! Funding an old cishetwhitemale to promote their cosmetics! How are they EVEN standing with the LGBTQ+ community if they’re not giving the gig to Dylan Girlie Girl even if he’s probably to expensive for them!

Educate yourself and do better!

(Did they think Alice was a drag queen, maybe?)

They probably think he is trans. Or a woman. That name , it's so confusing! And he only had his first hit in 1972 so it takes a while for people to adapt. Cut them some slack , Alice....

I was only vaguely aware of this chap, but I will seek him out on YT now (probably with the sound off).

You need the sound, whacked up high!

Feed my Frankenstein, the lyrics make no real sense but it's a brilliant shout along song

I'm fairly sure he won't be in the slightest bit inconvenienced by their hissy fit. They are not the only company in the world who sell eyeliner. (And yes to a PP, turn it up to 11!)

“We stand with all members of the LGBTQIA+ community and believe everyone should have access to healthcare. All pre-order sales will be refunded.”

Do they even know what "healthcare" means? It doesn't mean providing self-harming drugs and surgeries for a profit.

Well fingers crossed the people of New Orleans will do a Bud Light with Vampyr Cosmetics and well done Alice

Oops!

They specialise in Halloween and horror make-up so it may be their demographic will have a large overlap with their Wholly Crap! exclaiming customer base.

I can’t imagine Alice will go back on what he said.

“We are queer, disabled, and proudly neurodiverse women working round the clock to bring you cosmetics so uniquely packaged … you exclaim ‘Holy Crap!’ when you see it,”

Missing the point but "Holy crap" is surely offensive to many Christians?
