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.

“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?

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.

He's called out the Emperors new clothes.

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

“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.

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?)

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

Schools out! Poison! I wanna be elected!

Listen with the sound turned up to 11.

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!)

You need the sound, whacked up high!

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

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....

Yes ..and No More Mr Nice Guy. Under My Wheels . Only Women Bleed.

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

'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.

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!

Isn't he worth about £50 million? I suspect the cosmetics company did better out of being "supplier to Alice Cooper" than the other way round. Cutting off noses and all that.

“Only women bleed” - Alice knows reality!

Well said Alice Cooper! The more high profile people call out child abuse for what it is, the better, but I really hope he doesn't back down.

Helen Joyce said this week that it's great when people speak out or write a tweet or whatever in opposition to all the trans bullshit, but unless they're prepared for the onslaught and are prepared to hold their ground, she'd rather they didn't do it. Because every time someone speaks out, then issues a grovelling apology 'for causing offence', it just emboldens the trans lobby to bully and intimidate those bold enough to speak out even more.

Yeah he’s rich as Croesus and his core fan base won’t leave him (probably “not cool” enough) so it won’t make much difference to him long term.

The make up company will have some serious grovelling to do though, this may not go quite the way they expected unless they make some serious amends.

I quite like Alice Cooper’s radio programme. He’s often my late night
meno-insomnia chum.

In the UK it’s broadcast via Planet Rock Radio:

I remember singing along to School's Out as a teenager in the car. I'm now 69. I don't think someone like Alice who's been around THAT long will worry about the opinions of people who sell eyeliner.

Alice won't back down, he's made of sterner stuff. Do they think he can't get special effect make up anywhere else in the world? Another jump on the cancel bandwagon mob who couldn't give a shit about the children at risk from trans ideology.

My understanding of Alice's fanbase is that they are extremely loyal so he has no concerns there, and my wish is that they let the makeup company know what they think.....
Yep lots of other manufacturers of makeup he can pick and he could probably start his own if he so desired!
Plus I note he is toning his look down as he gets older so probably wasn't using much of their stuff anyway!

And: thank you Alice for speaking up!

He hasn't been cancelled. One of the world's many make-up suppliers has issued a pompous virtue signalling statement and lost some business.
