Brendon Urie is done begging fans to stop touching him inappropriately and kissing him without his permission. Anyone engaging in these behaviors at Panic! At the Disco concerts from now on will be removed.

Punchmygoat · 2019-02-03T04:31:31+00:00

There is also a small YouTube channel that posted a video where he talks about this issue.

Edit; not his channel

FreeLocke · 2019-02-03T06:51:31+00:00

Honestly Brendon deals with so much shit he shouldn't have to. Fans being gross at concerts, screaming in his face and chasing after him in airports, being so creepy that he had to move from his dream house...I feel so bad with him.

stvbles · 2019-02-03T05:55:41+00:00

If it was a female celebrity being touched that way the guys would be charged with sexual assault and ridiculed worldwide.

FresnoMac · 2019-02-03T05:34:39+00:00

So I have a friend from Northwestern University who has been engaged in research on the attitudes of sex and consent in elite private college campuses in the USA, and as part of that, she has been interviewing college students about their social life on these campuses i.e, Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Dartmouth etcetera.

One of the shocking things that she found out, often from female interviewees, was that when female students were intoxicated with alcohol they would come on men rather aggressively, like walk up to them in the dorm or at a party and just start groping or kissing them and when they resist, they'd simply act like, "What's wrong? Now you're gonna act like you don't want some pussy?"

Often, these guys they turn on to are friends and classmates, and they end up remaining upset for days. And since the general attitude, even today, is that men can't be sexually assaulted by women, neither do these guys complain to campus authorities nor do the girls feel any remorse or regret when they turn sober. They're just like, "Big fucking deal."

The research will come out some time end of this year or start of next year and she says there are a lot of things shocking gender-wise in it.

Just thought this was relevant here.

Brendon Urie is a target

cripplinganxietylmao · 2019-02-03T05:24:17+00:00

good

jdionne100 · 2019-02-03T06:46:49+00:00

I mean I'm a guy so I'm probably not the problem crowd in this situation, but I was at one of his shows recently and I was just so grateful that he shook my hand, incidentally during my favorite song of his, I couldn't imagine having the ego to think I matter enough to get to touch him as I please, it's just disgusting.

DizzyedUpGirl · 2019-02-03T10:29:18+00:00

Not acceptable, people. Male or female, do not grope the performers.

_________FU_________ · 2019-02-03T16:35:48+00:00

He’s a cool dude. I met him after a show at a bar they’d rented out and he was super down to earth. He definitely looked upset when I grabbed his junk vs saying hi.

Saskyle · 2019-02-03T03:30:16+00:00

Don't blame him. Dude is married and probably does not want to hear the shit from his wife when he gets home from making thousands of women orgasm.

MorbidMunchkin · 2019-02-03T15:54:26+00:00

I never understood why people think it's ok to grab at performances. It's disrespectful at least, and at worst could actually cause injury to the performer or the crowd.

It's one thing to stick your hand up for a high five or something. It's still the performers decision whether they want to engage in physical contact or not. Going all grabby hands is just wrong. Save it for your SO.

ThouReaper · 2019-02-03T08:10:23+00:00

I'm surprised it took this long. On an unrelated note, I saw him playing fortnite with basicallyidowrk and he was fucking hilarious, he was pretty good at the game too

m0ntsta · 2019-02-03T08:30:25+00:00

I’ll chime in with a haven’t you people ever heard of, washing your god damn hands?

Playaban · 2019-02-03T05:27:50+00:00

Fuck yeah Brandon

Reverse the genders ... instant jail time

VIIIMan · 2019-02-03T05:32:53+00:00

I had to look up who this band was. I like their music now.

Sirsilentbob423 · 2019-02-03T07:33:21+00:00

Been there. Have had my ass grabbed on several occasions when my band performs and I go out in the crowd, including one drunk lady who went "deep" when she grabbed.

Something about interacting directly with the crowd just makes some people feel like they can do whatever they want to you.

peppermintmeow · 2019-02-04T00:23:01+00:00

This is perfectly reasonable. Keep your hands to yourself. He's a person. A real person. Nobody, male or female has the right to touch anybody just because they bought a ticket to their show. I hope ALL artists do this. It's just a matter of respect.

i feel bad for him. he’s gone through so much shit with crazy fans but he still does what he loves. although i don’t love his music i think he’s a great person.

idlehanz88 · 2019-02-03T04:23:06+00:00

Holy shit are Panic at the disco still a thing......

2019-02-03T05:39:39+00:00

i love him even more.

smallerthings · 2019-02-03T17:14:30+00:00

If you love him let him GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

plant_babies · 2019-02-03T21:41:48+00:00

id be pissed too if i got sent cookies with a fan's hair in them

DFBforever · 2019-02-03T11:53:32+00:00

Pretty sure sexual assaults have been illegall for a while now

finishedlurking · 2019-02-03T04:53:29+00:00

how is the kid still alive after so many "death walks?"

lebronsuxatballs · 2019-02-03T05:10:46+00:00

You know more than half those seen girls have to have diseases

Deftsleeper · 2019-02-03T06:06:37+00:00

If the roles were reversed his career would be over, he really shouldn't have to ask.

2019-02-03T10:21:40+00:00

He should report this as sexual assault, not just remove them

juryriggedduty · 2019-02-04T05:12:29+00:00

guarantee you this happened after unattractive hambeast types kissed him

EmotionalCrit · 2019-02-03T16:14:42+00:00

Isn't he married? People have no decency.

Good on him for doing something about it.

ParadoxInRaindrops · 2019-02-03T13:40:13+00:00

Always loved him so much but goddamn, seeing how he talks about it only gives me more reason to respect & want to support PaTD. If that was me I don't think I'd keep my cool & just the feeling you get from the stream highlights? He seems like a cool dude but once again, 2% of the audience pisses on everybody's good time of the performer & everyone else there.

gillonba · 2019-02-07T00:54:21+00:00

I'm not sure this is really PPD; reverse the genders and the SJWs will ruin the fan's life and maybe get him sent to jail

2019-02-03T13:39:15+00:00

He just doesn’t want the trouble. It’s just being sensible.

SpecialistParticular · 2019-02-05T00:44:07+00:00

Reminds me of Faith Hill flipping out because women wouldn't stop grabbing Tim McGraw's dick.

Same thing happened when he was on Broadway so he stopped going out to do autograph.
Thing is, this guy his empire, and his fans are an enigma to me. He is like so into the pro-lgbt/feminism/safe-space scene. He's a huge champion of love and acceptance. His opening acts are always incredibly vetted from my perspective, to align with his brand. But his empire was founded on a song slut-shaming a bride at her own wedding. And he just gets a pass, the whole crowd digs it. And he's been VERY vocal about people getting in his space, but people just continue to do it. I was at one of his concerts recently and he walked down one row to a piano at the back of the venue. People started crowding the second row thinking he was going to make a circuit and double back. I was worried for him. It's like, if that's really what you [his fans] believe in, why are excluding this guy? I'm just ready for someone to say "if he doesn't want people touching him he shouldn't go in the crowd". God, that will be cathartic when I read that.
All that being said, I've been a panic fan since I was a teen. Bought their first cd when I was kid before it became the Bredan Urie show. Grew my hair long partly so I could snake earbuds up through my shirt and listen to music in study hall. I've been to at least 4 concerts of his now, I'm starting to lose track, and I went to NY just to see him in Pussy Boots. I love Panic! But the fan base is a real piece of work.
a couple of edits because i dont preposition good.
second edit. he posted the video 2/2. Way to ruin it Omaha.

Gf387 · 2019-02-03T18:59:05+00:00

Cool that Brendan is still doing it. Pretty Odd was my jam back in the day. Such an incredible mature album and they strayed as far away as they could from that afterwords. Shame.

Putting up with this shit is part of his job for being a celebrity. Deal with it!

Morrissey got punched and forgave the guy instantly. Fans are constantly obsessively throwing themselves at him. Hes way into it. This dude is lame.

moogsynth87 · 2019-02-03T07:28:51+00:00

That band fucking sucks! I wouldn’t want anyone who’s a fan of that band touching me or being anywhere near me. If he wants it to stop he should quit making shitty music!
