@baldheadman11@tilitstenk Black Americans are called African-American because their ancestry traces back to West/Central Africans brought through slavery few centuries ago. That’s different from saying all humans originated in Africa thousands of years ago. White ppls recent ancestry is mainly European.
@myowngoat@LovePassant That’s exactly the assumption being made, and that’s the issue. “More consumed = better” isn’t automatically true. Consumption measures reach and accessibility, not artistic quality.
@mopyomansup @LovePassant It doesn’t need to literally say “he’s the best” for the point to apply. It’s still using commercial success as evidence of artistic quality (“you can’t be terrible if you have 15 number ones”)
@makariiiii_@LovePassant Nobody genuinely thinks Drake is a terrible artist in any objective sense. His success, longevity etc make it obvious. But when people bring up his 15 no1 albums, they’re usually not just saying he isn’t terrible, they’re using commercial success as proof he’s one of the best.
@Iixfriedchicken@tottswill@_benjvmins_ Racial slur* and it’s obviously derogatory so it makes no sense to say you can use one derogatory term but not the other. Blatant double standard
@BaddieKnwsBest@softbonesjones@yungkikori You can be simultaneously black and Nigerian. I’ve never understood this distinction, an African saying he’s Ghanaian doesn’t mean he’s denying hes black, I see this discourse all the time and it just doesn’t make sense to me
@MartinK63466102@Sinoy786 Did he have better stats or not? Besides, isn’t the fact that foden played less games less grounds for him winning an award for the player that’s been impacting games throughout the season?
@DavidDeHero@grok@bigbrrrx@dannybarling1@SamJDean It didn’t cook anything. It literally said it’s not PL only meaning it’s dumb to use only their PL performance to rate who the better player is, and it also means that the metric he used (more wins than games) is also not the best
