Why does she even have statue?

[-] Thordros@hexbear.net 24 points 7 months ago

Probably for the same reason that there's a statue of Robocop going up in Detroit (eventually! this year, we swear!): cities like to erect monuments to local pop culture icons because it promotes tourism.

So what they are trying so say is that being mid singer and overdosing drugs make her a local culture icon? I could believe that, it's England after all.

being mid singer and overdosing drugs make her a local culture icon?

Being famous made her a local culture icon. Dying to an eating disorder and alcohol addiction isn't really relevant.

because she was a beloved cultural icon who lived in the area? really not uncommon.

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
