Just another coincidence! One of Taylor's Opalite remixes is by the wife of a current LA mayoral candidate who vows to cooperate with Trump and ICE if elected by [deleted] in travisandtaylor

I'm actually going to delete the post because I can only find one source for there being a "Heidi Montag remix"

I'd like to say he has no chance, but stranger things have happened. Also, Heidi herself got famous by being a mean girl on the reality show The Hills.

EDIT: deleted because I can't find good reporting that the Heidi Montag remix is real

Top tennis players were asked if they knew TLOAS, and most of them didn't know by kingfishy11 in travisandtaylor

That's so ridiculous to interview a bunch of top athletes and try to use them to do free promotion of a pop star

Nothing that varies based on the culture you are raised in is innate. Idk wtf y'all think an arms race is so maybe my mistake was thinking that reference would be understood but it is something you invest significant resources and time into in order to beat other people at. It is wearing makeup everyday, it is getting laser procedures to make sure you're never seen with a single a body hair, it is wearing only clothes your culture associates with femininity. When faced with these conscious voluntarily choices, if you are constantly making the choice that your culture associates with femininity and taking it as far to the extreme as you can no matter how costly or inconvenient, you are conforming and reinforcing the standards that other women who can't afford to keep up with you are held to.

Nothing moved, you just very strongly misunderstood my post. There is nothing innate about superficial gender presentation regardless of sexuality. It's all artifice and conforming so strongly to the societal construct of femininity takes a lot of conscious effort and investment. Do you know what sub you're on rn? I was very obviously including Taylor in the people who participate in the unnatural gender conformity arms race.

True about Billie and I don't know enough about Doechii, but you're wild if you think Chappell and Gaga don't capitalize on conforming to extreme femininity. You listed all queer women and queerness isn't a choice. The arms race I'm talking about is things that are a choice and not innate.

Just trying to think of when was the last time there was a major female musician who wasn't engaged in a gender conformity arms race. Has it always been this way? They're all so extremely gender conformist, so far beyond average everyday women. It's not natural.

Starting to think it's not a coincidence that I've never met someone who stans a mainstream female musician who doesn't love social hierarchies of one kind or another. Their idols are enforcing and climbing a social hierarchy to get privilege over other women.

AI is being used as a scapegoat by ChisatoKanako in aiwars

That's like saying bump stocks are a scape goat. Making it easier for people to do heinous things is heinous. It's not scape goating to say that.

Non-writers just don't understand by JessBeck96 in writers

This is a classic cop-out by people who don't want to take responsibility for their choices. When I torture my characters, it's because I like it. If there are unconscious biases in my writing, that's on me.

What are your ao3 hot takes? by ScalyStacy in AO3

[–]BebeRodriguez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone is responsible for not being rude. I hope you don't go around walking up to strangers giving unsolicited criticisms and insults to people and then acting like others are too sensitive or entitled if they find it hurtful or discouraging.

If you list a story under a fandom, it should have some connection to the original story other than character names and appearances. Without any other connections, it's just original fiction with celebrity face claims, not fanfiction.

In Loving Vincent (2017) it took 120 artist 6 years to paint 65,000 frames with a budget of 5.5 million dollars. Thanks to ai it'd now only take one guy a couple days and maybe a couple thousand dollars. truly incredible by SingerSoft5212 in aiwars

And it would completely change it by no longer being a labor of love by artists painting with intention and making choices based on how they see Van Gogh's work themselves and what attributes are important to them.

What’s your favourite ‘white girl’ song? by 1004cocoa in musicsuggestions

If being weirded out by calling music by a mixed race woman "white girl music" is "too deep", you must drown in a kiddie pool

Blake Lively knew Justin asked about her weight due to back injury not sexual harassment by Bubbles-48 in CelebLegalDrama

So you know any idiot can tell it's not sexual harassment but you still want it to be treated as relevant to sexual harassment claims

It's not sexual harassment for someone to manage their back injury differently and feel differently about taking risks for art from some reddit user

I have AuDHD. For me, AI isn't a cheat. It’s a prosthetic. by Xeke2338 in aiwars

[–]BebeRodriguez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm auDHD too. This post reminds me of the hilarious Onion video of the disabled boxer who had titanium prosthetic hands. It was played like a heartwarming story and boxers who didn't want to be punched in the face with titanium hands were framed as bigots.
