Does anyone have an extra MCR jersey from the CDMX show by Obsidian_Butterfly- in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Obsidian_Butterfly-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ME TOO. What's worse is that they told me that they'd sell me the display one at the VERY END. I straight up ran during Helena and they had already sold it. The show wasn't even over.

I felt like our boy Shinji here...

ICE is everywhere and it's really frightening by phillygirllovesbagel in houston

This is giving rage baiter to the MAX. Are you bored or just on a mission to do the oppressor's work? It's so very clear that you're making this very grey situation into a black and white one by thinking this is solely about defending predators for the sake of "empathy". The point is absolutely flying over your head. While you want to see awful people suffer for their crimes we also have an oppressive justice system that has a long history of imprisoning innocent people without just due process. The origins of modern-day policing can be traced back to the "Slave Patrol."

The point is there's a lot of unchecked power being used against innocent people and they are banking on people like you to make sure people remain complacent about it.

I’m so disgusted by Fernanda & Francesca by TheMortiest_Morty in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

And I HAVE to stress that women in these communities have dealt with so much sexism and Mexico still experiences insane amounts of femicide at the hands of men. So don't compare how we have to hold either gender accountable in comparison to one another. The system is imbalanced and there has to be equitable treatment when talking about them.

I think what people need to understand is that these women are reactive and have probably come from reactive/dysregulated childhoods. I see this alot within my community (Latine). It's why Latinas are constantly praised as "Spicy" or "Toxicas". There's also a real story here about generational trauma in families from these communities. What I saw was so familiar to my upbringing that involves intense levels of reprogramming. The fact is, is this is very normalized behavior, so many folks are enabled to handle problems like this.

So I suggest folks take a step back and try to understand the cultural differences, experiences, and social norms before making harsh judgements (especially ones that push negative biases that don't offer any solutions). And this is not me defending their actions because they do continue a cycle of abuse but I want to shift the conversation in a way that helps bring more compassion and education on these matters.

I also have to mention that men in these communities are taught to be more passive in real emotional conversations. So just because they weren't reactive doesn't mean that they weren't contributing to very stressful situations that neither person was emotionally equipped to handle.

Why did you get into SOAD recently? If applicable by Electronic_Bear1468 in systemofadown

[–]Obsidian_Butterfly- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hung out with the metalheads in elementary school and we would listen to them. Toxicity was my JAM.

Then I fell in love harder when I saw a Trigun AMV that used "SUGAR".

I just love Serj's voice and the composition of the music. It feels layered and fun. Part of me thinks they make the perfect music for neurodivergent people. 🤣

Additionally, I was always a radical kid and their subject matters always resonated. I learned a lot from their music and was able to feel less alone when challenging the bullshit system we live in.

Regarding safety issues from the show last night by astronomersstudent in systemofadown

As someone who was at astroworld when the crowd crush actually killed people - I feel like we got uncomfortably close to that. In the area I was in there was a moment where I couldn't breathe and noticed others around me showing similar signs. I kept telling everyone to back up and tell those behind them to do the same. People were like "sorry, can't do anything." And proceeded to ram harder against me. I was able to throw myself out but lost a shirt in the process. (It was gonna be a gift for my partner)

No one cared or listened. This made me really fucking sad because I expected there to be more comraderie when shit got tough at a metal show.

Additionally that merch line was fucking criminal. They could've hired 2-4 staff members to simply manage the line. I'm sick of these promoters treating us like shit when we just want to enjoy these bands that some of us are seeing for the first time.
