It’s someone that looks suspiciously like Datsik but has a very large mustache so it can’t be him

Is there anything solid on Snails? Genuine question, I remember reading up on some tea a year or so back, but it was sort of a he-said she-said situation at the time.

It’s Datsik and that guy you went to high school with that used to “break out the decks” at high school Parties and played Sandstorm no less than 12 times per night. Datsik promised him “the leftovers” and a bottle of rohypnol

We all know Datsik loves cutesie names. He doesn’t prefer the term “rape”. He prefers the term “struggle snuggle”
That’s not a joke. He actually tweeted that shit.
Fucking piece of shit.

All the underage girls he's getting into the venue and offering free drugs to.

Curious as well. He still is close with X although not publicly. They were together pretty much every day while X’s house got built in Ktown.

Woah okay how do you know this? I am very doubtful excisions gf of 6+ years would allow him to be close with an alleged rapist, at least I would hope so….

u/PunchingEskimos May 17 '23
Close friend worked on the house, and that’s what I would think to. While I don’t condone what happened there has to be something that is unknown to the public if they still hang out.

u/luisc123 May 18 '23
Something that is unknown? I don't think it's crazy to think that friends stay friends even when one of them did some terrible, terrible shit. Everybody reading this has at least one friend that's a POS in the eyes of everyone else.

i was gonna ask for more evidence cause i hadnt heard of this yet and i like to withhold judgement when it comes to allegations, then i saw the tweet where he called rape a struggle snuggle
theres only circumstantial evidence here but damn that is not a good look at all

u/reallycoolperson74 May 18 '23
To be fair, that's a terrible piece of "evidence" to consider for anything here. His lack of response to every accusation is worth considering, not him laughing at dark/edgy humor.

I’m the weird one out that started listening to dubstep around the time Datsik was becoming popular and decided I wasn’t really into dubstep, got out of EDM anything and just now came back to it and all this happened while I stepped away focusing on other things in life. I’m like “oh hey I haven’t heard mention of Datsik in forever, what’s he up to?” …. 😬

The Chris Brown one kills me. Every time I see the transcript it just baffles me how that dude isn’t just never mentioned again. I know people who are super respectful to women and like his music still, when I question them it’s like, well uhh, idk he makes good music. Fuck that. Dude should be put away but I guess it’s the same as politics, if you have money you’re above the law. Grr, shits frustrating.

The people who defend Woody and Mike don't just not give a fuck about SA, they just aren't sold on their guilt. There is enough evidence in both of those incidents to believe their innocence, by the way. Also WA didn't get convicted of anything. In fact, 2 long-term investigations into the alleged abuse found no evidence of SA, but evidence she was being coached, IIRC.

u/BAY35music May 18 '23
For real, I don't get it. After the whole Aero Chord debacle, my friend and I who are both AVID EDM listeners (I have a nearly 4,000 track playlist, his is pushing 5,000) went through and deleted every last song of his from our playlists. Even Surface. Don't get how people can justify continuing to give them stream revenue.

I mean Diplo had a whole thing come out, but he got it shut down hard. Erick Morillo was arrested over rape charges shortly before he OD’s. It’s a problem in every area where there’s lots of fame, money, and power involved. I think the bass scene is just more modern in it’s audience and involved with social media, so allegations gain traction more quickly than they can be shut down. Plus the fans actually stick to their morals and stop listening to people who are sleaze bag.

u/zaisoke May 18 '23
afaik i dont think any of the bassnectar claims have been substantiated yet, the lawsuit is set to go to trial later this year, at which point we will find out the meat of the details on Bassnectar, so i can understand why fans would hold on hope that its simply not true, but from what ive seen Datsik is apprently a total sexual deviant with far more evidence than bassnectar ever had levied against him publicly.
not a defense of the artists, just a defense of the community
7
u/jpabs_official May 18 '23
I recently re-read the Bassnectar accusations, they are pretty bad tbh. As in most sexual misconduct cases, there isn't going to be visual proof like a video. But as far as I'm concerned the volume of accusations + the type of evidence they showed journalists (Vice specifically) such as texts and dms with dates is sufficient for me to at least choose other artists to support. Datsik's allegations were definitely more serious, but Bassnectar was not good. I think the biggest thing is cognitive dissonance, for fans. Accepting he was a criminal means that they willingly supported and based part of their identity on supporting a manipulator, which can be a hard pill to swallow. Not saying thats what you did or anything, but generally just my thoughts on the whole situation.

Guys, please don’t relent on pushing back in any way possible. Contact the venues, the ticketing vendors, the google listings, share on social media, every single time he tries this. We all need to do our part to keep this community a safe space and make sure dangerous creeps like this are kept out and away from positions of power.

May 18 '23
Power ?
1
u/Luminyst May 18 '23
Yes power. When artists are given top headlining spots at festival, a massive online base of supporters and huge amounts of money that’s power. They have the platform and voice to reach huge numbers and influence the culture. At his peak Datsik was worth an estimated $8 million. You can’t tell me that kind of money doesn’t give you power over others if you choose to use it in such ways. Look at Hollywood and politicians for extreme examples of what unchecked power can get away with. We are the ones filling those artists pockets through our collective support and consent. That is why they get booked and paid, because we the community choose to pay to see them. So we should all take some responsibility in where we choose for our money, attention and support to go. When a large base of the community decides they are ok with the kinds of behaviors Datsik was caught doing it sends a message to others of what they can get away with and makes everyone less safe. And sure, you’re free to take the “look the other way” stance and ignore if you choose. But for me, this culture saved my life, I’ve been in the bass/rave scene for over 15 years now and I care enough to actually take a stance and be vocal about what kinds of behaviors I won’t tolerate. I do this solely out of caring to keep our little slice of (counter)society as safe as possible. You know, PLUR and all that. It may be ideals that aren’t real or obtainable but for me, I will never stop trying to foster that ethos because it made me into a better person.

I’d bet if you have an irl conversation with the average remaining datsik fan, they’d argue that there’s no proof of the accusations, NOT that they are letting rape slide.
