v often people disguise their refusal to engage with the seriousness of transmisogyny through calling out racism.
most people angered by this scaling of oppression are v comfortable with saying that transwomanhood does not carry the same level of marginalisation as being a WOC.
I hate the need for marginalised white people to scale oppression against POC but a lot of replies are outraged (tphobic) denial. 10 yrs ago sex work was borderline mandatory for TW due to workforce exclusion which is a form of hypermarginalisation that is very uniquely extreme.
@theKrabs_11@anbulex_@venurrable well you're wrong because the peak of the holocaust or covid or the recession were not good were they? if ur gonna try and be clever at least actually BE clever
one of my least favourite things about pop girl fans is they almost exclusively engage with a genre where the most important barrier to entry as a woman is being hot but call fantano a misogynist for treating pop girls as adults making serious pieces of work that deserve critique
People are incapable of differentiating between criticism of someone's music and mere personal attacks against them. Stan twitter is virtually only intellectually capable of the latter so they think it's what everyone else is doing too
Anthony Fantano has NEVER even made a body of music in his life. He doesnt know how to structure a song. He doesn’t know the first thing about music theory. Hes just a dweeb in his parents basement profiting of giving his unasked for opinion on music artist that he could never be
my take is that i believe the way that so many childish and aggressive people online (& off) have weaponised liberation politics for their personal malicious aims absolutely has influenced the rise of the (far) right
@hyphen_c_ i’m sorry but i’m tired of pretending like the album was good and pretending like the lead single wasn’t in reference to the egoism i was criticizing.
nobody has to agree, but acting like i’m the most evil person alive over disliking an album is a performance in stupidity.
thing is I've never believed everyone who doesn't wanna fuck trans people is transphobic but it's so funny how all the replies disagreeing with this tweet are basically saying "that is a woman & gay men dont like women", they just can't help but be transphobic about it.
I may be bi/pan but this is when I have to agree with people who say gay men who won’t sleep with or date trans men are just transphobic (particularly if you’re a top) bc wtf do you mean you wouldn’t hit that, like hello??
Um filme da Madonna ainda não daria certo pois ela está viva e não tem tragédias o suficiente na vida dela. O povão se adaptou ao modelo de biografia que ou termina numa grande tragédia ou querem a nostalgia de alguém que morreu.
Britney é a única viva com potencial
why does she look like she's on the set of her first high budget 2002 music video where the pop group she is a supporting member of steal a diamond while singing about orgasming
im gonna be honest & say i feel like this is comfortably gonna be her worst album judging by the 2/11 tracks we've already heard but hopefully a few tracks will be amazing
TYLA is one the best debuts ever from someone considered a pop girl imo. how could you ever want to trade that for the standard 1 great 3 good 8 trash generic pop girl debut formula that so many artists forced into that end up with.
Tyla reveals to Variety she was pressured to make music she didn’t connect, such as bubblegum-pop, after getting signed:
“[Those songs] didn’t feel like me at all. I remember being in my hotel room and my managers were calling me, ‘Come down, we need to cut the song.’ I was crying and thinking, ‘This is not what I want. I didn’t get signed to do this.’ They had to [coax] me out of that room. But, I think through doing that, I realized how much more I love African music. It made me more persistent in keeping my ideas.”
it's so entitled to want her to ditch her culture, scene & identity so you can have yet *another* generic pop girl & let's be honest, she's not white, and she's global south african. there's no way in hell they'd fawn over her like they do sabrina so what would the benefit be.
bad lyrics, bad production, derivative sound, bad vocals, no artistic viewpoint & the only songs considered "good" crammed into the start. solid 3/10 & only saved by meet me halfway's good melody on the chorus & the other songs being etched into the collective memory.
