Step 1: Deflect from the actual point of the criticism to paint the woman calling you out as hysterical
Step 2: attempt to shield yourself from the criticism by pointing out how you’ve been nice to other people in the same marginalized group
I think i’ve seen this film before
Btw, The Great Impersonator got overall very good reviews. The only haters were exactly who you would expect: Pitchfork and Fantano (who was not deemed relevant enough to be included by Wikipedia).
anytime fantano argues with someone on twitter who isn't a braindead conservative he automatically loses because he argues like fucking berdly and does this weird "erm ACKCHUALLY" garbage or talks like a stan twitter account, it's embarrassing, how do people defend this
motherfuckers have been weird and cruel to halsey since the inception of her career i'm sorry but you will never convince me that she is crazy or corny for standing up for herself
this is honestly my primary gripe with fantano, he’s objectively BAD at his job. he’s functionally illiterate when it comes to understanding content from either 1. artists he deems below him 2. women’s suffering. he has a very bad habit of reading things in bad faith
sorry but to fact check:
halsey never brought it up until yesterday in response to his post
it was never about him disliking the album,he refuses to address the portion of the review being critiqued
you can make misogynistic statements without disliking all women and their art
"I have no problem with enjoying and supporting the work of women, especially women who address serious issues in their work."
This right here being the crux of the issue. He still doesn't get it and he never will because Halsey was right all along. He was raised by 4chan.
people don’t understand he could have given the album a 1/10 and if the review was ACTUALLY a music review no one would care. the issue is it wasn’t a music review. it was a misogynistic & insensitive attack on her character
Halsey isn't criticizing him "over a bad review." The review came out 2 years ago. Even as inappropriate as the review was, she stayed quiet. She's responding to him coming online, 2 years later, and taking a shot at her.
That's not the behavior or a legitimate music critic.
