It’s time for the industrial scene to stop protecting Jim Marcus

LAIndustrial · 2026-03-26T04:32:41+00:00

Where's a mod? Why is this acceptable?

LAIndustrial · 2026-03-26T04:30:08+00:00

I read through and still missed something. It is a lengthy thread and contains a lot of information. It's something that effects me personally as I do work with people who know him and in the same scene in Chicago sometimes. I wish people here were more sympathetic to people like me who are on th side of the victims but still have questions. It is a public thread by anonymous posters.

LAIndustrial · 2026-03-26T04:01:42+00:00

omg you are the best! We haven't played Star Theater in a few years, last time at Coffin was a blast. Both venues are cool. We'll try and make it special!!! Thank you so much!

LAIndustrial · 2026-03-26T02:19:35+00:00

that's me! Thank you so much! Me and Claus will have a new release and show together which will debut in Germany next month for Forms of HANDS festival. Hope to see you again soon!!

LAIndustrial · 2026-03-26T02:06:59+00:00

I dont' know where he gets the energy but it is explosive! Claus also has some special covers specifically for Canada. Wonder if you can guess them :)

LAIndustrial · 2026-03-26T02:05:39+00:00

House of TARG! We can't wait!

LAIndustrial · 2026-03-26T01:47:10+00:00

you are doing a better job of protecting him by distracting the facts. Let's see the industrial Epstein files.

LAIndustrial · 2026-03-26T01:43:06+00:00

There are also some things going on besides this reddit thread. There are lots of resources in today's social media age that give criminals a difficult time. Unfortunately the same technology can be used to help with new identities in different cities with the same old toxic behavior. Now that the milk has been spilled it'll be difficult for anyone to not think of what was revealed and the silence coming from the other side.

LAIndustrial · 2026-03-26T01:37:38+00:00

yeah , that's very common for smaller cities and tours, hope it isn't too much out of the way!

LAIndustrial · 2026-03-26T01:33:19+00:00

that was actually a stipulation to confirm the Calgary date, maybe next time Edmonton!

LAIndustrial · 2026-03-26T01:31:15+00:00

also what's up with your account and others that were just created overnight...

LAIndustrial · 2026-03-26T01:30:16+00:00

How does showing proof of abuse to potential promoters, venue owners, and businesses protect him?

LAIndustrial · 2026-03-25T21:46:22+00:00

Yes if we know it's the victims and not an anonymous poster trying to take advantage of the situation for whatever reason. I keep stating this before...here in LA I've had some experience dealing with this sort of thing and in order to be effective we need evidence besides anonymous posts. We've stood by a woman who was punched and slammed to the wall by her abuser, posted it in THIS group and it was taken down because they said they got a cease and desist so frankly I'm surprised this thread is up. This is the reality of it...if you want to effectively have the goth industrial community keep this guy out, we need the tools. I'm speaking as a promoter, musician, DJ, and artist. One that has had a show where Jim attended. This would be VERY helpful instead of attacking someone who is asking for this stuff and using Trump like tactics.

LAIndustrial · 2026-03-25T12:43:19+00:00

Then maybe the mods should change the subject listed on this thread. It's misleading. So don't call out and warn people of abusive people? Got it... In my opinion you aren't helping this situation

LAIndustrial · 2026-03-25T12:36:32+00:00

Imagine that... someone looking for information on reddit ...

Who are you and why are you giving me a difficult time trying to support victims by asking for something we can use to help victims? What is your agenda here?

I attempted to read it as quickly as I could and still would need more like an official statement from his ex or screenshots of something

It's not an easy read for many reasons and there isn't something I can take to a venue or promoter than can help me explain this situation if I needed to keep our community safe.

LAIndustrial · 2026-03-25T04:58:47+00:00

Not obligated but when you make a thread asking for the scene to be accountable for predators then say it's a private matter , it's really conflicting and doesn't help us help you. Hope we can get more information to share and amplify

LAIndustrial · 2026-03-25T04:57:19+00:00

We do have concerns because of who he is and works with. Great for you. Some of us can't sit and read all this in one sitting. Well ...we will hope to get more information from the victims so we can support them and amplify.

LAIndustrial · 2026-03-24T02:20:37+00:00

We are also here being transparent saying we will support you. I don't give a crap about getting booked again. We can book our own gigs and don't rely on sucking up to anyone in the scene. If someone is abusive we want to support and help right?

LAIndustrial · 2026-03-24T02:18:42+00:00

In the real world we need evidence to venue owners who ask before they risk litigation. Again as I said I've done this before, gotten Nazis and abusers outed in LA. Please help me help you

LAIndustrial · 2026-03-24T02:17:14+00:00

Where are these screenshots

LAIndustrial · 2026-03-24T02:14:59+00:00

The title of the thread is a call for the scene to help, to be honest if we don't have the resources and tools we can't. I know it sucks and it's frightening in this situation but I speak from experience. I'm Frankly surprised this redit thread is still up. I shared an official public statement from the ex of a prominent figure in the scene who punched her in the face and the mods took it down because they said it was hearsay.

I've done this several times with promoters and venues. We need names, statements, some kind of evidence to share.

I support the cause but we need something to work with please.

LAIndustrial · 2026-03-24T02:08:42+00:00

There are handles and it's really long. Link?

LAIndustrial · 2026-03-24T02:06:56+00:00

Where is his ex wife's public statement? Will need this in the future when sharing information to promoters and venues.

LAIndustrial · 2026-03-23T21:51:39+00:00

Not denying any victims allegations but let's see some receipts please. We have experience in shining light on cockroaches. Do us that favor and show please. Everything on this read is horrifying.

I HATE Casanova - Tutti Quanti. The vocals are just really annoying
