Electric Callboy used to be called Eskimo Callboy until somewhat recently. Eskimo is now considered a slur for the Inuit and Yupit peoples. I'm fairly sure thay EC meant no offense by the term and rather used it out of ignorance (as evidenced by them setting in motion the presumably rather extensive process of changing their entire branding, including pulling old songs and changing all their old album covers), but given their early albums were all about edgy funny provocation, it's not a great look.

Roger Waters. I think he means well and wants people to be happy and that's why he's a leftist, but wow that guy can pick the wrong side in a conflict. He is a terrible advocate for the causes he supports.
It seems EVERY rockstar has a penchant for really young women. I've lost track of the number of songs about underage girls ("she's only sixteen...","She was just 17" etc.) Paul Simon fell in love with a 16 year old, and took her on tour. She's on one of his album covers.
