Connor fans are telling us they weren't told to vote, didn't vote, didn't know how to vote on the Gold Derby website but they were told to vote and knew how to make the Emmy nom prediction skyrocket from 30% (only experts were voting) to 59% after they joined.
Even in a podcast focused on film and television hosted by professional producers, people know Connor's Emmy nomination is a pity one and that he doesn't really belong here.
Connor Storrie will play in the movie "The Bell Jar" based on this same book, said to be feminist only for white women because this book is racist af.
Esther Greenwood, the self-insert character of the white author of The Bell Jar, uses racist language to describe herself like "big, smudgy-eyed Chinese woman". She also says things like ""dusky as a bleached-blonde negress" about other characters.
She also assaults a black man for not serving her well enough after describing him as a "stupid, laughing, indolent Black man with huge, rolling eyes. This book was written in the 60s, during the civil rights movement. Most of the educated world was moving on from this type of gross racism at the time.
The racism in this scene is so glaring that even though I shouldn't have been at this point, I was shocked at the lack of discussion about this aspect of the book. Maybe it's time to rethink The Bell Jar's feminist credentials, or at the very least reclassify it as a problematic favorite, especially since stereotypes are rooted in racial bias and don't exist outside of a historical context.
A search on social media shows that there's a number of feminists who identify with the character that Plath created, adopting Esther Greenwood as a screen name or describing themselves as some version of her, and after hearing such little discussion surrounding the loaded racist language in the book, it makes me wonder which parts of her people find so endearing and why.
Where's the activism in using H*tler's speech and referencehate group who participated in genocide ? Just using those names and sounds without any context or historical ressources.
All it does is further traumatize the impacted groups, for shock value. So yeah if the labels email is real, if they keep justifying this instead of apologizing, they are even worse people than we thought
and of course the label would come right out and admit in an email they publish n*zi songs 😂😂😂 It was still deleted from Soundcloud for being problematic af so take the L and move on
So basically your excuse for the n*zi song is that Connor is an activist who knew the background of the group and label and the history of the references and concluded it was unproblematic but for the p*do song he had no idea what it was, made no research and just liked the beat ? Double standards much ?
