The Strokes‘ Julian Casablancas has shared his thoughts on The 1975‘s recent controversy in Malaysia that saw them banned for taking a stance on LGBTQ matters on stage.Last weekend, The 1975’s set at Good Vibes Festival in Kuala Lumpur was cut short – and later, the rest of the festival was cancelled – after frontman Matty Healy criticised anti-LGBTQ laws and kissed bassist Ross MacDonald onstage.During their headline performance on Friday (July 21), Healy called out the Malaysian government and said: “I do not see the point of inviting The 1975 to a country and then telling us who we can have sex with.”Since then, The 1975 have been banned from performing in the country, and the frontman has received backlash from Malaysia’s LGBTQ+ community, claiming that his actions undermined years of action by local activists.The 1975 are now also potentially facing a class action lawsuit by Malaysian artists and festival vendors over the festival’s cancellation.The Strokes’ Casablancas, who was unable to perform at Good Vibes Festival with his band, shared on social media this weekend that they are currently working on a way to perform in Malaysia.The frontman then elaborated on his thoughts regarding the controversy in an Instagram reply, writing: “it def helped the white outsider awareness yes, for sure… i felt the same. had no idea.

A recently surfaced video of Rachel Zegler, who plays the titular character in the upcoming live-action remake of “Snow White,” has sparked controversy after the actress revealed how the new Disney film would differ from the 1937 animated classic.In the 2022 D23 Expo Variety interview clip, Zegler and “Wonder Woman” actress Gal Gadot discussed how the reimagining of Snow White would shift the Disney princess’s values, dreams and agency in the story.When asked how the new Snow White would bring a “modern edge” to the famous fable, Zegler laughed and said, “I just mean that it’s no longer 1937.”Gadot, who will play the Evil Queen in the movie, interjected and divulged that Prince Ferdinand would not save Snow White.“She’s not going to be saved by the prince and she’s not going to be dreaming about true love,” Zegler noted. “She’s dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be and the leader that her late father told her that she could be if she was fearless, fair, brave and true.”“It’s just a really incredible story for young people everywhere to see themselves in,” she added.The resurfaced video spread across social media early in the week, making many Twitter users skeptical of the new adaptation’s thematic direction.“It’s no longer 1937, guys,” State Freedom Caucus Network Comms Director Greg Price said.
