@txadel_ people largely weren't saying she was transgender either, they were saying that she was a man. there's nothing 'wrong', biologically, with being male, but ofc that's going to be hurtful for all kinds of reasons!

@resurrecti0ns plus the fact that so much of horror is a presumed male audience identifying with persecuted women. horror theory exploded this kind of crap thirty years ago, and yet we're still doing "yeah men are dumb idiots and this is for women only" type drivel.

further to this, as a promoter, venues used to pay *you* to put on shows. they'd literally say here's £200, book some bands and we'll make money on the bar. now rents are so high that they can't even do that

can’t emphasise enough how one of the biggest changes made to the arts industry was making it so you couldn’t claim unemployment benefits if you were an out of work actor/musician etc., leading to a sector dominated by people with the wealth to survive long periods of downtime

@ecomarxi I've replied this elsewhere but I think youre misunderstanding the word radical here. It doesn't mean extremist. It comes from Latin "radix" meaning root, and means of the root. If you're a radical you believe in addressing the root of a problem.

@tsengputterman i agree, and i've seen people saying that we shouldn't be critical of the sharing of this image, because "support is crucial whenever it arrives" (paraphrasing obv). but the point is that the message itself is so empty that it doesn't even equate to support, it's nothing

@anon_opin depends what you're defining as pop, for starters. but i'd argue that it's far less diverse in the sense that only already-wealthy people can afford to make records, which wasn't the case in the previous century, so you get less weird/interesting stuff now.

@LouisPeitzman as badly handled as the screenshot is, i think there's a middle ground here. i was casually seeing someone when i met my now-partner, and so i said to the first person that i'd met someone. no more info than that, but it's ok to explain why you're cutting things short
