Why did she name herself after the Marquis de Sade?
This has always bothered me. That's not her birth name. She chose it as a stage name.
Did she not know about the Marquis de Sade? Or is that her game?
Her name is Helen Folasade Adu. Sade (pronounced Shar-ay) was a nick name.
shareDoes she not now about the Marquis de Sade and his rep?
shareher name and her choice respect Asshole The Barbarian
shareHuh? Why are you attacking me?
Her name is the same as one of the most evil men in history. If her name was Hitler she would never have used that as a stage name. I think he was just ignorant and unaware of the Marquis de Sade. But to me the name is as offensive as if she called herself "Hitler".
Here's a description of de Sade's work since you seem to be unfamiliar:
Another passage describes a pregnant woman tied to a wheel, ready to be beaten, and her mother forced to sit beneath the wheel, mouth open, to eat anything that flows from the body of the beaten woman, be it blood, urine, feces, or a miscarried fetus. In another tableau, women have their babies taken away, and if they cannot pick them out of a group of newborns, the children are sliced up with a sword. This is after the women have their newborns tied around their necks by the umbilical cord and are left without food for days, to see whether they will eat their own children to survive.share

That doesn't have anything to do with the singer Sade. πβ
shareThen why name herself after it? She's either incredibly stupid or she's a Satanist.
shareYou just want to provoke.
This time again in an idiotic way, Onani.
Hahaha. It makes for a good convo. But honestly, I have wondered for years why she would choose such a name. Her name popped up so I posted about it!
Much of it is the ignorance of the general population that they're so illiterate they're not familiar with de Sade.
But if you're unfortunate enough to have the name of one of the most evil men in history - Hitler, Stalin, Mengele (there are people who have those surnames) - you change it. You don't choose it as a stage name.
As I said, she's either very ignorant or very evil. And the ignorance of the masses doesn't help.
The "ignorance" of my parents didn't help me too with my first name.
My Frisian first name makes a good rhyme to many bad things.
Then again it made me strong to chase bad 'rhymers' across the school yard.
Seems, you also need to feel that strength. π€π½β
Sade didn't name herself after the Marquis. You didn't get the answer you wanted, so you ignore it.
shareWhat answer do you think I wanted? That she purposely named herself after the world's most famous sexual pervert, rapist and child molester?
I obviously know that was not her intent. But she is named de Sade nonetheless.
If she had named herself "Hitler" and then her PR people explained that she was named after a great great grandfather, not the Nazi, would that make the name choice any better?
Sorry, it's a horrible choice for a stage name and I cringe every time I see it. That's my answer as to why I posted this thread.
