Alice Cooper gets canceled from endorsement deal over "anti-" trans comments, but what he doesn't do is more newsy
Alice Cooper is in hot water over what critics call "anti-trans" comments. The rock legend lost his endorsement deal with Vampyre Cosmetics.
And I know what you're thinking. "Oh no, he's been canceled by....wait, what's a 'Vampyre Cosmetics.'" It is a spooky-themed cosmetic line. Cooper has been welcoming people to his nightmare since 1975. The partnership made sense.
“In light of recent statements by Alice Cooper we will no longer be doing a makeup collaboration. We stand with all members of the LGBTQIA+ community and believe everyone should have access to healthcare. All pre-order sales will be refunded.”
Cooper's comments came during an interview with Stereogum. The interviewer was hoping Alice would blast his rock icon peers Dee Snider and Paul Stanley over their what critics call "anti-trans" comments. After all, Alice Cooper wore makeup in the 70s. He'd be all about letting kids transition at younger and younger ages.
Nope!
"I’m afraid that it’s also a fad, and I’m afraid there’s a lot of people claiming to be this just because they want to be that," Copper said. "I find it wrong when you’ve got a six-year-old kid who has no idea. He just wants to play, and you’re confusing him telling him, 'Yeah, you’re a boy, but you could be a girl if you want to be.' I think that’s so confusing to a kid. It’s even confusing to a teenager. You’re still trying to find your identity, and yet here’s this thing going on, saying, 'Yeah, but you can be anything you want. You can be a cat if you want to be.'"
And for that, Alice Cooper will not be selling spooky make-up anymore. Here is the more important thing though. Unlike some of his other peers who have made common-sense comments about gender, the legend isn't apologizing.
Paul Stanley was quick to apologize. Sad, because he went from crushing pussy in the 70s to being one in his 70s.
Carlos Santana went viral in the afternoon for saying boys were boys and girls were girls. "Team Santana" has an apology up on Facebook by dinner time.
Alice Cooper does not apologize for having an opinion. He's seventy-five years old. His fans won't turn on him. He's too old for this sh*t.
Or, at the very least, he hasn't apologized yet. I hope I didn't jinx things writing this.
