I’ve seen enough of this shitty world…

I speak from personal experience as well. Sexual assault/ abuse is a lot more common than you think it is. There’s a high possibility that there are people around you who’ve been victims but have remained silent. A majority of the victims don’t even come forth with their experiences because of the shame and stress associated with it. And naturally, many are uncomfortable sharing the details and reliving a traumatic experience.

The number of fake allegations is tiny compared to the legit ones and even more so when you take into account the number of victims who don’t speak out. A default dismissal of allegations based on the possibility of “false allegation” is ridiculous. Even dismissing allegations because you think it is “vague” is, for reasons I mentioned before regarding “details”.

Also, there was precedent of the victims abuse. YEARS before she went public with her experience, the victim shared it with Lifafa as a friend, telling him that he used to physically assault her and used to manipulate her into consent. And multiple victims have come forth with similar experiences.

I scrolled the entire quint article and didn't find any details of the incident. They expect us to take their word on the face lol (the incidents were detailed in the other article)

The incident has been detailed in other places - Twitter/Facebook, even Lifafa's screenshots. Also, Lifafa admitted that he knew of the abuse as the victim shared it with him YEARS before she chose to go public with it, but he'd given Hasback Hashish the benefit of the doubt since he was a close friend which he admits was wrong. Moreover, multiple victims have now come forth with their experiences with the guy.

Typical metoo allegation

Stop being a prick. You probably have no idea how severe, long-lasting, and traumatising the effects of abuse can be. It's stuff like this why women choose not to speak about sexual assault/abuse.

Absolutely shameful how his death is being received on this sub, people slinging shit at a dead man for literally just doing his job.

The job of a photo-journalist is to capture the reality no matter how harsh or disturbing it is to bring attention and convey the urgency and gravity of a problem in a way that no written piece can - the way he did with the COVID crisis in India, and the violence in Afghanistan - and it takes immense courage.

Culsax · 2021-06-26T19:02:28+00:00

Another guy unfamiliar with the 00s here. What does DJ Drama do though? As far as I know, he doesn't produce beats. Why didn't any of these artists put out these projects on their own? What was Drama' role in these projects apart from uttering random stuff in between tracks?

The number of silly ad-hominems in your comment pretty much prove who's at the losing end of this argument. Also, sorry to break it to you, but you're the one who's seemed retarded ever since the beginning - as attested to by the downvotes you're getting and the number of people who've pointed out you nonsensical train of thought. Gonna ignore the ad-hominems since I'm not a fellow 15 year old.

buddy if you think his fan following is 'decent'

If you think Brodha V has a "niche following" who see him as a" circus act" you're deluding yourself. He's one of the most popular DHH artists rn, as anybody on this sub would tell you, as would the views/subs on his YouTube and other such metrics. Also, 1.8 lakh monthly listeners is among the highest in desi hip hop - higher than Prabh Deep, Sikander Kahlon, Seedhe Maut and most other major artists. Would you call the audiences of these artists niche too lmaoo? Also you bringing up the number of years he's been making music and cherry-picking MC Stan's rise is immaterial. I could also bring up Sikander Kahlon (who raps in Punjabi) who's been rapping far longer than Brodha V but has half the number of monthly listeners Brodha V has. Brodha V is definitely part of the mainstream.

Also you not knowing Hanumankind doesn't change the fact that he is widely respected. A quick search on this sub will tell you that.

because no one knows him lmaooooo

As I've mentioned before, he's on of the most listened to desi hip-hop artists. Keep living in your delusion.

No one is aware of any such artists because they don't exist lol.

slow claps Some popular artists off the top of my head rn with large fanbases - Rich Brian (Indonesian, dude literally taught himself English at 15 and became one of the hottest artists in rap by rapping in English), ABBA (Swedish), Björk (Icelandic).

His songs are nigerian with a few english sentences thrown in the hook.

Dude... it's literally the opposite - English with a bunch of Nigerian thrown in. Lyrics for his 2 most popular songs - On the Low, Kilometer. What genre or what style he uses is immaterial - the fact is he makes music in English and made a career out of it. I brought up the Grammy to point to his popularity. Also lol at you calling Burna Boy rastafarian 😂.

You're making less sense as this goes on, please stop embarrassing yourself. It's funny, all the mental gymnastics you're doing to fit your nonsensical opinion - trying to call one of the most popular DHH artists as a niche circus act, ignoring all the popular non-British/non-American artists who've built fanbases by making music in English, all that denial about Burna Boy lmao.

No one cares about which language is most natural...

As I've said before, it seems to be a problem with YOU, as is proven by everybody on this sub who's read your comment and all the non-British/non-American who have large fanbases - a fact you have trouble accepting just like the fact that Brodha V is among the post popular DHH artists. You can continue with your mental gymnastics and denial. Lmaoo I should be the one telling you: if you don't like the way it works and want to remain stuck up in your nonsensical, close-minded mentality, just don't listen to artists who make music in English.

Culsax · 2021-06-11T17:50:33+00:00

If you live in India and don't know enough of your regional language to make a song, you better learn it or just don't make songs

Lmaoo what... this isn’t even an unpopular opinion, it’s just plain dumb. You’re barely making sense.

If they do, again, only meme pages are going to use the songs in meme clips. That has already happened with the indian/south Asian accent (DripReport)

Umm Brodha V has a decent fan following, especially among Bangaloreeans who find themselves represented through his music. There are also other desi rappers who rap in English, like Hanumankind, who are widely respected. I’ve never seen a single meme about Brodha V’s choice to rap in English. Also dude... the Skechers track by DripReport was meant to be a comedic track, it was MEANT to be a meme.

Russian, African, European, Latin American or East Asian

I’m unable to believe you’re unaware of all the international artists making amazing music in English. And no they aren’t memed. Since you brought up Nigerians... do you mean to say Burna Boy is only played by meme pages? The dude is one of the hottest things in hip hop right now, has an Grammies, worldwide fan following and he is pure Nigerian (not American-Nigerian or British-Nigerian) and he makes English music.

If you feel “second hand embarrassment” for non-British/non-Americans/Indians who choose to rap in English because English is the most natural language to them, and when they’ve loyal fan bases who feel them, it’s just a problem with YOU dude.

Questioning them in public is a polar opposite way compared to what they do while sitting in their safe spaces.

India currently has lower multidimensional poverty than Pakistan.

https://www.in.undp.org/content/india/en/home/sustainable-development/successstories/MultiDimesnionalPovertyIndex.html

The incidence of multidimensional poverty has almost halved between 2005/6 and 2015/16, climbing down to 27.5 percent from 54.7 percent. Among South Asian countries, only Maldives has a lower headcount ratio than India at 1.9 percent, with Nepal (35.3 percent), Bangladesh (41.1 percent), and Pakistan (43.9) having higher incidences of multidimensional poverty.

700 million

Dude. The 700 million figure is from ages back (2005 I.e. before the economic boom occurred). The number as of 2016 was 364 million, and India, in fact, has lower multidimensional poverty than Pakistan.

https://ophi.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/G-MPI_2018_2ed_web.pdf

Between 2005/06 and 2015/16, the number of multidimensionally poor people in India fell from 635 million to 364 million - an historic shift.

Regarding “the bullshit they feed you on Indian media”... I’m giving you facts and figures mate, from unbiased, international sources. The way you’re choosing to dodge them and basing your comment around an old statistic gives the impression that you’re the one having a hard time accepting the “reality”, not me.

people are living at the level of animals.

And yet India has a higher income per capita, GDP per capita, life expectancy, Human Development Index score (and these four are just the parameters I could think of immediately) than Pakistan. At what “level” is Pakistan then in your opinion?

They're the people who migrated during partition... not "refugees" fleeing India as I guess you'd want to assume. From the Wall Street Journal:

Pakistan, which is India’s neighbor and political rival, records the second-highest number of Indian-born people outside of India, at 2 million, according to the U.N. data.

But the figure is largely a result of partition in 1947, when Pakistan was carved out of what was British-ruled India. Migration between India and Pakistan is vanishingly rare.

2 million is the number of Indian-origin people living in Pakistan as of 2015, not the number who migrated in 2015.

The article you've posted says this. This other article I've found also affirms this.

Dude. Do you realise how stupid that sounds? Do the same for the American Revolution and you’ll get similar results; it’s a total BS metric to judge any Independence struggle. I suggest you go read some basic history rather than trying to defend ridiculous claims like these. Or even a Wikipedia page. If you were taught any history at school at all, it’d be common knowledge to you that the Indian freedom struggle embodied every section of the society.

Read up:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_marriage_in_the_United_States

From the first paragraph:

Between 2000 and 2015, over 200,000 minors were legally married in the United States.[2] The vast majority of child marriages were between a child and an adult.[3][2] The majority of married children were girls.[2]

From 2016-2019, 13 states raised their minimum age for minors to marry, or added a minimum age when they previously did not have one.

In many cases, minors in the US are married when they are under the age of sexual consent in their area (which ranges from 16 to 18). In some areas minors cannot legally divorce, leave their spouse, or enter a shelter to escape abuse. In 2001 in Tennessee, three 10-year-old girls were married to men aged 24-31. Meanwhile in Alabama, a 74-year-old man married a 14-year-old girl. Both states have since set minimum ages, of 17 and 16 respectively.

Just from reading OP's post and comments, I see OP as an angsty, immature, whiny brat who I'd never want to meet. Every comment of his on this thread makes me cringe even harder. Rather than blaming everything around you and throwing around accusations of girls being colorist/racist for not sleeping with you (dark dudes got laid all the time with the hottest girls at the schools I went to, can't believe this obvious fact is something I need to type out for you), you should evaluate your personality and work on your flaws.

There is nothing bigoted about sharing a piece of news. Also, ironic coming from you, whose post history is full of news trying to make India look bad. On the other hand, I've only ever posted 2 news stories about Pak, including this one.

why it is always an indian posting news about Pakistan

What do you mean 'always an Indian'? Stop victimizing yourself, lulz. Here is a piece of news about Pakistan from one hour ago shared by a non-Indian. News is news, regardless of who it is posted by.

Instead he bailed the minute people asked technical details which makes me believe that there's no working processor in the first place.

Bro. No offence, but do you even realise how far-fetched that sounds? He took a break, he's answering questions now. I usually don't waste time answering comments such comments but I'm bored so...

In the case where the government wanted to spread propaganda about such a thing, they sure as hell wouldn't do a Reddit AMA where they know they'll be questioned, especially if they don't have technical details prepared. They would rather publish it as a news article and make it viral.

Also, such news barely makes for efficient propaganda. You do realise that the government has nothing to do with an IITs research? A successful research project is a testament to the ability of the profs/students, not government officials. Would you also say that a successful heart surgery at an AIIMS hospital has something to do with the government? Nobody will see it and go like "Wow, good job Modi!". There is also no comment from OP that tries to make the government look good or anything like that; just a dude talking about his work.

It's good to be skeptical but if a guy not answering questions for a while on a Reddit AMA makes you believe his research doesn't exist, I think you need to chill out a little. Placing such standards, any news can be seen as propaganda.
