What’s the Deal with Kiwis?

brought into the conversation when people began to make connections between his music and the shootings. He was accused of influencing these shooters through his violent music.

In “Bowling for Columbine,” a documentary by Michael Moore, Manson spoke about the blame that he and his music were being given. “I definitely can see why they picked me, because it’s easy to throw my face on a TV because I’m, in the end, a poster boy for fear.”

In this documentary he also talked about the fact that after the Columbine shooting, there were two topics of conversation, which were gun control and entertainment. He didn’t find it surprising that entertainment would be the focal point following the shooting because no one wanted to talk about gun control.

While he was unwillingly brought into the conversation after the Columbine shooting, he willingly entered the conversation through his actions on stage in San Bernardino.

While most people have shown negative reactions to Manson’s most recent performance, there is also an argument made that people have become more outraged by this performance that the growing number of mass shootings and acts gun violence.

This may yet again be an example of the way in which people are more outraged and willing to demonize entertainers than they are to talk about gun control, which was pointed out by Manson in the 1990s.
