So basically there's this indie band called PWR BTM filled with hipster faggots. As in faggots who suck literal dicks. And I mean literally as in, they chortle on cock on the weekend but for real.
Their music is... eh, whatever. It's what you'd expect a hipster indie queer punk band to sound like
They'd been getting a lot of buzz until five days ago when they
Yes, allegedly. Five days ago some chick named Kitty Cordero-Kolin posted in a Facebook group informing members that Ben Hopkins is a “known sexual predator” and Kolin had personally witnessed Ben initiate unwanted sexual contact with people. Although the Facebook group was private, a screenshot of the post was captured and shared widely via Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit.
No actual proofs, just 'it's well known' and 'I totes saw it'
It was enough to get their shit completely burned down and being erased from existence. Their music is literally disappearing from websites and the guy is basically branded a Bill Cosby without even anyone going to the fucking police to complain in the first place
This is fucking insane. Basically if shit had caught on that early in the past, neither Modest Mouse, Bright Eyes or Weezer would exist, for example.
Now it seems if you're on the cusp of being famous and you're accused of rape, get ready to become homeless instead of filling stadiums because you're fucked, son.

They'd been getting a lot of buzz until five days ago when they
- most of their support acts dropped of their current tour
- then lost their management
- then lost their label
- then had to cancel their tour
- then had their albums pulled from the shelves
- then had their music removed from all streaming services
- even had their youtube scrubbed clean
