Sam Smith of course and his latest ridiculousness! Don't we already have non gender words for this? ie angler, fisher etc. even fisherperson would sound normal.

Yet you have not used any pronouns for Sam. Not as sure of your ground as you like to make out, are you?

Assume pronouns are fish/shoal?

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 16/02/2023 08:05

He's doing a fucking wonderful job for the GC!

What I was wondering is, how can Sam Smith claim to be openly gay and non-binary at the same time? Surely, if you don't have a gender, then you can't be classed as gay or straight. Then isn't claiming to be non-binary thought to be dis-loyal and doing a disservice to the progress that's been made in the general acceptance of homosexuality?

Sam smith is an attention seeking pain the arse.

It’s pretty standard to refer to ‘fishers’. C. 99% of fishers in the UK aware men, but it’s still totally standard to refer to them as fishers. You see it in government reports etc.

Fisherthem is just Sam smith being awful and irritating.

I do not understand why Sam smith is so popular at all. Just dreadful.

Fraaahnces · 16/02/2023 08:10

Maybe he meant “Fissure”

Maze76 · 16/02/2023 08:11

As much as I like ‘them’ as a singer, I do think ‘they’ are just taking the pee out of everyone, sitting back laughing and counting ‘their’ money, it’s a different way to stay relevant, attract the alternatives and give us all a laugh at the same time.
Personally I wanna thank ‘them’, the ridiculous red carpet outfit and ‘Fisherthem’ comment had me howling.. and in this current climate, don’t we all need a laugh? So I wanna say thank you Sam and keep em coming!

fairgame84 · 16/02/2023 08:16

I wonder if he's mentally unwell. He was tolerable until the lockdown photo and since then he's become more and more extreme.

LyndaSnellsSniff · 16/02/2023 08:17

I've just realised I work with someone called Sam Smith who like to go fishing of a weekend!

I've never seen her and Sam Smith®️ in the same room. 😮

Mind you, I've never once seen her dressed up as a tyre either.

I have to admit, like another poster, I hadn't really heard of Sam Smith until very recently. I am a bit stuck in the 80's with my music choices. However I do listen to radio 2, so have heard his music but not really associated with his name. I actually found his "I'm not here to make friends" quite a nice, catchy earworm. Then, after a thread on here, I went and Googled the video. And now I'm sad because every time I hear the good tune, I see the bad video in my mind's eye! And suddenly I hear about him and his opinions everywhere and not in a good way.

For a while, I was getting him confused with Sam Ryder and was so disappointed in this new direction he was heading and his new, bloated look. Sorry Sam Ryder, you are still as lovely, sweet and humble as you were before! 😬

Noicant · 16/02/2023 08:23

I wonder of they has to practice relentlessly to ensure they don’t misgender them.

Personally I think they has got word bingo going on with one of they’s mates and they get a fiver everytime they say them/they.

Tbh I’m impressed that they remembered to insert them

Must be a fucking nightmare trying to keep it up though.

Madamecastafiore · 16/02/2023 08:25

His team need to tell him he isn't Beyonce and pull him up on how his actions are making him into a laughing stock.

Moobs does not maketh a woman.

Chersfrozenface · 16/02/2023 08:26

To me Sam Smith's is a beer.

I don't like it, personally. More of a Wadworth's 6X girl myself.

That's JOHN Smith's surely? We have a case in our kitchen. DH's favourite

Back to obscurity Sam I guess. 😂

"Fissure them"

He's not a harmless idiot though, is he?

Look what he did to the Brits and to female artistes.

Attention seeking Wanker.

This.

He knows what he is doing.

He's a misogynistic attention seeking wanker.

Compare and contrast with Harry Styles who wears feminine clothes better, didn't actively seek to remove awards for women at the Brits and dedicated his award to the overlooked female artists at the Brits.

And there are people on here talking about respecting his (Sam's) fucking pronouns. If a person wants respect they should act in a decent manner. And he'll always be a man.

Yeah, stop it OP, these are serious first world problems, you just don’t understand what it’s like to be an extra special male and others not validating that 🥺

Either everyone is non binary (gender) or no one is (sex)
In conclusion:

No one cares 🙄

Yes. This is a person who inspires in me no measure of respect at all

illtakeit · 16/02/2023 08:40

Yeah it's ridiculous but this is the world we live in.

Topamaxtwit · 16/02/2023 08:44

@lifeturnsonadime absolutely yes 👏

Dinkleberg · 16/02/2023 08:44

Does it really matter what they want to refer to themselves as whilst they're fishing?

NicolaSturGONE · 16/02/2023 08:45

He's definitely testing us to see how much he can get away with. He's fucking ridiculous.

butterpuffed · 16/02/2023 08:46

I recently felt sorry for him as I thought he was being manipulated by his management but after seeing that clip and him referring to himself as a fisherthem and laughing about it, he's just having a laugh . It cracked me up .

Excuse me, it's Samuel Smith, The Old Brewery, Tadcaster samuelsmithsbrewery.co.uk/

There are even Sam Smith's pubs in London.
