i genuinely don't understand when artists say stuff like "i can't draw fat people/poc/poc features/ect it doesn't fit my art style" like it doesn't make sense, consider you just have a bad art style if youre gonna just say that a characteristic that many people have just don't "fit in" with your art
unpopular opinions
they/them | (in a thick new yorker accent) ey im meowin ova here!!
people who think cancel culture suck don't realize that nobody actually gets "cancelled" and that accountability is a good thing
we should have this oscars this year and the sonic the hedgehog movie BETTER get an award

people saying "let people enjoy things" is the human version of aposematismHow? Can you explain your logic? Like I understand if something is legitimately problematic to the point of actual bigotry but bashing people for being into something just because you deem it overrated/cringey/not adhering 100% to your own likes and interests is kinda terrible
bashing ppl for their bad interests is good and cool actually
your reluctant optimist

I'm not American so haven't really thought of it in that way..Pls don't cancel me, but even if Hamilton the musical is historically inaccurate and Hamilton wasn't half the guy Lin Manuel made him out to be, that doesn't take away from the fact that I enjoy the musical for the art form it is - the staging is exquisite and the dancers/performers are incredible. I don't need art to teach me history, I can crack a book and make my own conclusions.that'd be valid if it didn't function as propaganda :/

people with power being held accountable for their shitty behaviour is super important and many of these people who whine about cancel culture are just mad that they're being called out because the voiceless are now able to share the same social platforms as them (i see you JK Rowling)
BUT
taking people's worst moments and problematic tweets and using this as a judgement of their entire character and worth as a human being, (without actually engaging with them to try to explain why it was wrong and giving them the opportunity to do better) and skipping straight to condemnation isn't really a good look
some people are just assholes who will never change their shitty ways and some people just did a fucked up thing and deserve an opportunity to right their wrongs, i see too many people try to paint them with the same brush
people who think cancel culture suck don't realize that nobody actually gets "cancelled" and that accountability is a good thingi agree. sort of. but "cancelling" and "accountability" are two different things.
