In 1992, Sinead O'Connor tore a picture of Pope John Paul II in half during a performance on SNL in protest against generations of abuse toward children within the Catholic church. - eviltoast

      It’s better to just downvote, really. You are always running the risk that you’re helping a troll earn his paycheque. I’m sure this fellow is not being paid, he seems very dedicated to dunking on [women with mental illness] on a personal level.

      (edit for grammatical clarity; “mentally ill” is still often used pejoratively by people like the one you’re responding to…)

        do you think that her joining islam (and by extension her comments about non-muslims) was a result of her mental illness?

          That’s cute.

          edit: by which I mean, if I am going to align myself with any group in this situation, it is with the fraternity of fellow musicians, and in that world she is my sister, and contains multitudes.
