bro i’m supposed to be deleting social media off my phone rn for good but i have to let this out like omg. this is the first time it feels like they don’t care about their own art like if i didn’t know better i would think they were forced to do all of this it’s soooo unlike them
very much do no like that they released drag path just bc it blew up, they debuted it to a festival crowd, and they’re playing it at an awards show. like this is the worst song you could possibly do that to like is nothing sacred anymore… genuinely feels like a betrayal
THIS FANDOM IS A PRISON.
every week it’s someone new getting dog piled. every week there’s a new target. new subtweeting new screenshots new “omg look what this person said” and everyone jumps in to prove they’re the most morally superior person in the room. and for what? what are we actually accomplishing here besides making each other miserable?
and i need people to understand something. being educated on every single issue in the exact right way with the exact right language is a privilege. i’m not talking about the basics. racism is bad homophobia is bad those are not hot takes. i’m talking about the nuances. the way you phrase things. having access to certain sources and certain conversations that shaped your understanding. not everyone has had that. not everyone grew up in the same spaces online or offline. not everyone has been exposed to the same information at the same time as you.
and instead of going “hey this is actually harmful and here’s why” people immediately go for the throat. you’re a horrible person. you’re disgusting. you’re cancelled. over what? over someone not knowing the perfect way to express something? over someone being behind on information you had access to and they didn’t?
i always think about this the same way i think about veganism. you don’t wake up one day and become the perfect vegan overnight. you start by cutting out one thing. then another. then you learn more and you adjust more. that’s how growth works. that’s how people work. you should be allowed to realize you said something fucked up go “oh shit i fucked up” apologize and then everyone moves the fuck on. that should be the end of it.
but no. instead we get the pile on. the moral superiority contest. the oppression olympics of who is the most woke and who can perform their awareness the loudest. and none of it is fixing anything. not a single person has ever been educated by 200 people in their mentions calling them a piece of shit. all that does is make people shut down and never engage again.
we look like such a fuck ass fandom right now and it makes me so fucking sad because i know we can be better than this. i know most of us want the same things. but this infighting and this constant need to publicly destroy someone for the day just so you can feel like you did something is so counterproductive it’s insane.
i’m tired. genuinely. do better
me scraping together pennies to make sure i made it to breach tour since it sounded like it would be huge since it was the end of the lore i’ve been analyzing since i’m a teenager LMAOOOOO i just realized i could’ve maybe seen bts instead this year oh i’m pissed
i don’t know why i went through so much trouble to get to breach tour and i rlyyy regret it ngl. if their set only now will consist of basically all of breach INCLUDINGG drag path I feel as though i am going to go insane
they should’ve just kept the song hidden and for us. and now they’re gonna play it live. to festival crowds. the whole point of the drag path is that you go and seek it out. i don’t like it just being handed to everyone. it’s icky and going against what the song is even saying
idk how to even feel about them officially releasing it just bc it got popular and also i like lowkey don’t care about any of it bc i know i’ll never see it live bc they can never just keep songs on a setlist that they know everyone wants to see idk i’m just tired
