@lucygraykatniss I remember someone saying that at some point in the future, we're going to find out ugly, ugly things about those Wicked movies, because everyone seemed to come out like bags of bones, no matter how slight of build they already were.
@Be_like_legend I can confirm the inverse is also true; your undiagnosed complex trauma definitely becomes your pseudo sudden adult onset ADHD as an adult.
@RobhRyan@_celia_bedelia_ I keep (print, these days) tickets, & always buy merch to support the band. I've never understood the "I was there" thing, when the "this is how I felt when I saw x" is so much more valuable. Photos & vids are a nice supplement, but it's not essential to the experience.
@RobhRyan@_celia_bedelia_ Definitely. I don't even watch my phone as I record, because the video is secondary to actually seeing & experiencing the gig. I don't see what individual gain (eg. like my junk journalling) there is in trying to video an entire gig; it's pure, malignant asshattery.
@RobhRyan@_celia_bedelia_ I *like* to be able to take photos & short videos at gigs for my own use; I like to relive those moments, & I use the photos to junk journal. That said, I'd rather go to the gig & enjoy the magic of live music in the moment than defend my "right" to record.
@noahprobz@_celia_bedelia_ I like to take short videos at gigs so I can relive certain moments, but I point my phone in the right direction, and then I watch in real time. It should never be more than a supplement to the experience, but the people who go too far ruin it for all.
@_celia_bedelia_ People take it too far & ruin it for everyone. If people only took pictures & short videos for their own use, rather than ripping off artists wholesale, we wouldn't all have to face the consequences. People should be angrier at those who make this sort of rule necessary.
@beccajiggens Tommy Robinsonโs lawyer successfully argued last November that his clientโs views & opinions are protected. But the Forstater case clearly established that while you have the right to be a cunt, you do not have the right to act the cunt.
