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.

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

There are even Sam Smith's pubs in London.

I stand corrected. I've never heard of it but I'm not a beer person.

Ahhh…. The ending of your post made your intentions really clear. Misogynistic and rather nasty. Carry on indulging the latest whim of men. I’d put a tenner on you also thinking recording the crimes of those born male but opt to live female, as crime being committed by women is also a triumph? Get a grip.

Sam Smith has been actively misgendered on Breakfast Tv about 3 times. They seems to revel i, almost coming up with more obscure words, to make it difficult for the interviewer to remember them.They then apologise profusely. He is the
King of Woke. They wore an absolutely ludicrous outfit and their song was almost banned for its sexual nature fora family audience. This I someone who younger people might look up to, who is Persistantly prickly, rude and a narc. He said recently they felt people confused them with Adele. No chance of that Sam !

TrashyPanda · 16/02/2023 08:57

Sam Smith is a stupid wanker

or is that literal violence?

should I be saying Sam Smith are a stupid wanker?

who cares?

all Sam Smith cares about is publicity, cos that earns Sam Smith money.

i don’t give a shit about the made-up concept of “gender”.

Stomacharmeleon · 16/02/2023 08:58

@littlestrawberryhat tenner says he probably doesn't....

Well, aren't you a peach?

He's removed the female category at the Brits.

That only affects females, but I guess we don't really count do we?

You're not even attempting to hide your misogyny!

Actually, I don't think there was much hate going on on this thread until you came along! Most are having a giggle at Sam's expense.

It’s a virtue signalling cringe-fest whenever SS opens his ridiculous mouth. Have to switch him off every time.

SaltedButty · 16/02/2023 09:05

I can't even read articles about him anymore. The use of the pronouns make the stories make no sense.

He is laughing at us, drug filled narc

MichelleScarn · 16/02/2023 09:07

Is anyone actually 'rattled other than rattling with laughter at the ridiculousness of SS?

I think people are laughing at him mate. It’s different to being rattled.
He does look ridiculous to be fair.

Fairislefandango · 16/02/2023 09:09

Good lord just listen to yourselves. Sam Smith is having a laugh. What’s gone so wrong in all of your lives that you have SO much hate for someone who’s done absolutely nothing to you or caused any harm to anyone. Honestly take a look at yourselves. It’s embarrassing how rattled you lot are. Ps bet he looks a lot better wrapped up in the string than a lot of you fat frumps.

I'd rather be a fat frump than an entitled, delusional narcissist. And literally nobody would look good wrapped in string. The point isn't that Sam Smith looks any better or worse in it than anyone else would. The point is that he actually wants people to look at him wearing nothing but string.

Obviously celebrities making twats out of themselves for attention is nothing new, but he clearly has an especially strong 'Me me me, look at me!!!!' gene, going by the lockdown mansion weeping and the clamouring to change the Brits categories to suit his own delusions.

Topamaxtwit · 16/02/2023 09:10

When I read the words "wrapped" and "string" - I immediately imagined a joint of raw meat.

😂 ew

BellatrixLestrangesHeatedCurlers · 16/02/2023 09:11

I like their style. Their politics is just another way to get people talking.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 16/02/2023 09:13

I may be missing the point here, but isn't 'fisherman' (or 'fisherwoman') usually understood to refer to somebody who catches large amounts of fish every day for resale for a living?

Isn't it normally 'angler' or 'going fishing' for somebody doing it for a hobby - be they a pop star by trade or a shelf stacker in Tesco? Kind of like describing yourself as a 'joiner', because you once assembled a Billy bookcase from IKEA?!

I think this is an excellent point Grin good analogy!

Hmmm a lot of assumptions here.
Even if he had done no KNOWN harm (Brits) it's a massive assumption to say he has categorically never done ANY harm at all (and extremely unlikely)

I'm not fat or frumpy thanks. 😂

mattyd · 16/02/2023 09:21

Talking about SS is ok, looking at SS is best avoided I find.

MagpiePi · 16/02/2023 09:21

Years ago I heard a singing teacher who had taught SS say he was ‘so brave’, for singing high notes. I mean, brave? Really?

It’s sad that he seems to have so many people around him who are encouraging him to make a complete tit of himself.

LostidentityM · 16/02/2023 09:23

Sam Smith's career was on the wane so I think he's doing all he can to stay in the public eye. I dont even think he believes the stuff he says, it's just bad publicity is better than no publicity. Same for Lizzo, before she won her recent awards, her star was also fading so she posted loads of pics of her in g strings etc because she knew her market, a proud, larger woman. Sometimes it's just being media savvy to make people memorable. Same for Lily James etc

stripedsox · 16/02/2023 09:26

Never heard of Sam Smith but from what I'm reading on here he sounds a bit of a wanker with xy chromosomes. Oh, of course, a man.

MyrtIe · 16/02/2023 09:30

Whenever I hear/see the name Sam Smith (which seems to be every ten bloody seconds of late), it makes me want a bottle of chocolate stout.

I look absolutely mega wrapped up in string, actually. And yes, I'm fat, just like Sam.

Given you're using fat as an insult, you're actually insulting Sam, too. Misogyny and body shaming, that's not very inclusive is it? Oooops 😬
