"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.
sorry no ANTHONY FANTANO IS NOT A CRITIC! he's a bald guy who gives less than average reviews on his youtube who y'all somehow gave legitimacy bc he drags artists you hate. i will not be gaslit.
And this is exactly what misogynistic men do whenever they receive pushback, instantly trying to make you look like the unreasonable and insane one for reacting
a lot of you are being very disingenuous about why halsey reacted to it. it's not because it was a bad score but it was how he talked about her. why can't she be the main character of her own story? it's a very normal thing songwriters have done for decades. even in stories where more people are involved but this one was just about her
Who cares he gave a bad review? I care that a pay for clicks reaction YouTuber can facade as a pro critic and say it’s “main character syndrome” for an artist to lament her medical suffering on an album (surprise!) about her own life. He’s a raised-by-4chan edgelord bully. Yuck.
I’m certain my least memorable song will be remembered more fondly and for more time than anything you ever do with your life will be. Everything you say is more “whiny” and “edgy” than I was at any point on that album. But at least I had the excuse of going through chemo.
