Really genuinely drives me crazy how obsessed people are with peter’s weight which historically through his life has been outstandingly useless as a health metric and yes he’s not super healthy now but was he ever?? He’s been a drug addict for decades!! To blame it on appearance is patently ridiculous and in my mind just a symbol of how people really latch onto Peter as an embodiment of the whole early-2000s-Camden-indie-drifter vibe instead of thinking about him as a person. Which if you’re not a Libertines/adjacent fan I have no problem with but to see die hard self-proclaimed Libs/Pete fans lamenting over his weight and stick and nonsense? Makes me actually angry. The waifish starving wartime poet is a myth and always has been, and really the non-musical appeal of the Libertines has always been that it can be consumed as a modern mythology. Insane to hold a real live man with notorious addiction and health issues to those standards.
