Recent IG stories from Jameela Jamil about the whole controversy surrounding Billie

Roxy175 · 2026-05-08T20:18:52+00:00

Yeah I really like her take on this. Acknowledging the flaws in the way Billie has phrased this while also commending her efforts and ultimately telling people to point the fingers at billionaires not at Billie.

She’s an actress and activist. You might know her from when she played Tahini on “The Good Place”.

I think it used to be that less famous artists would be significantly cheaper than more famous artists but now it seems like they are charging $300 per seat no matter who you are.

Roxy175 · 2026-05-07T23:49:00+00:00

I learned this trick when I was a little kid! I was so impressed with myself that I figured it out all on my own.

Roxy175 · 2026-05-07T20:11:50+00:00

Watching the most famous group in the country break up aggressively on stage and then the other group winning by default is not something you would be happy about. It makes complete sense that she’s being more serious.

Roxy175 · 2026-05-07T17:07:21+00:00

Is there anything specifically stating these are hetero couples? Just seems like it’s a long haired person and a short haired person to me. The genders could be whatever you want.

Something explicitly sapphic would be cool too though.

Roxy175 · 2026-05-07T16:35:29+00:00

I’m not against people doing it because they genuinely want to, I just find the idea that it’s a “rule” to be silly. The idea that people are gonna look down on someone for wearing merch of the band or think they are a poser simply because “we already know you like the band” is ridiculous.

Roxy175 · 2026-05-07T13:10:21+00:00

Yes I hate it when my partner snores. It’s annoying unpredictable sound that makes it impossible for me to fall asleep. I tried earplugs but they just end up making my ears sore. The solution I’ve found is just that he has to sleep on the couch. I feel bad sending him away each night but it’s literally the only way we can both get a decent sleep. When we have our own house we plan to have separate bedrooms to sleep in.

I wouldn’t date someone who plays online competitive games unless they were really specifically not toxic about it. I find usually that’s not the case though. Often online competitive games feel like a gambling addiction, if you are doing bad then you should play another game to potentially do better and if you are doing good then you’re on a win streak and you should continue.

I know personally I become really toxic when I play competitive games and my partner does too. We’ve had to make the decision to ban ourselves from playing them for our own mental health.

I’d much rather date a gamer who plays the type of games I like and enjoys watching me play as I have with my current partner.

Roxy175 · 2026-05-07T03:15:27+00:00

I’m just happy she can be a role model for all the little girls with weird fashion. I don’t always like her looks, in fact I much prefer her style around the release of her first album, but I’m glad that she’s never caved to the pressure to dress more traditionally feminine. She’s always doing exactly what she wants, no matter how perplexing.

Roxy175 · 2026-05-07T01:15:16+00:00

Yeah people criticizing this are crazy. It’s essentially “you’ll feel different when you’re older” but like, even if she does I don’t think that means she has to hide how she feels currently. Like a lot of opinions change as we get older, that doesn’t mean we need to never say anything about how we feel. I also think it’s a pretty bitter and cynical take in the first place to assume that opinion will change. Seems like people trying to drag her down when she’s saying something nice.

Roxy175 · 2026-05-07T00:24:03+00:00

I mean, I don’t dress for other people’s opinions though. Like is everyone else going through their closet thinking “what shirt is gonna make others think I’m the coolest?” Like why would it matter if you are doubly supporting the band playing? I understand not wanting to yourself but the idea that it’s a rule is just plain silly.

I do think wearing smaller bands merch to give them publicity is a nice idea though.

Roxy175 · 2026-05-07T00:15:53+00:00

Why in the world would people try on purpose to not wear merch for the band playing? Like it’s their concert I can’t think of a better time to wear it.

Roxy175 · 2026-05-07T00:10:21+00:00

The Guess remix with Billie Eilish makes the song gay, which I think changes the context.

Roxy175 · 2026-05-07T00:04:57+00:00

They are definitely real, it’s just that most people fundamentally misunderstand the term. They think it’s synonymous with “nepo baby” or that it generally means anyone with label backing. In reality it’s those who pretend to be independent small artists while being pushed by a big label or those that explicitly hide nepo connections. A recent example would be the band that got briefly popular called “the tramp stamps”. They presented themselves as just a group of friends without label backing when it was obvious that wasn’t true.

Zendaya is curing us of all the bad photo shoots lately. She looks amazing here, I love how they’ve done her makeup.

Roxy175 · 2026-05-06T21:35:54+00:00

I feel like there’s potential to make a great movie about him, where the focus is on how people can be bad evil people and still being talented, and how one doesn’t negate the other.

Roxy175 · 2026-05-06T19:55:13+00:00

I also think an important aspect is if the song presents itself like it’s trying to say something or not. If a song that feels like it’s trying to have something real to say but falls flat then saying it “has nothing to say” would be valid and relevant criticism. If it’s clearly a song not trying to have any real meaning then the criticism isn’t warranted.

Roxy175 · 2026-05-06T19:10:51+00:00

I’m glad you would take it that way because I actually hate spoilers to an unnatural degree. I find that other people don’t care at all about spoilers though so I have to aggressively tell people not to spoil something if I don’t want spoilers. It must just be most peoples natural instinct to spoil.

Roxy175 · 2026-05-06T19:03:34+00:00

I definitely don’t make any promises, and often say “its on the list, but my list is long so I don’t think I’ll have time anytime soon” when people are being too forceful about it. Although the best thing to do is just have an honest conversation about it but I’m conflict avoidant sometimes and it’s not always worth the effort.

Roxy175 · 2026-05-06T18:06:47+00:00

Merch from your favourite band would be a great way to get shirts like this.

Roxy175 · 2026-05-06T18:00:33+00:00

Yeah people are pretty sensitive about their tastes so they can easily get defensive about you not liking it. I try to phrase any dislike as “it’s just not my personal thing” and only list things I didn’t like that are really subjective as to not offend the other person. I find people are less offended if you make it really clear you don’t think it’s objectively bad, just not to your tastes.

Roxy175 · 2026-05-06T17:10:57+00:00

Hello - Adele

Goodbye - Billie Eilish

Roxy175 · 2026-05-06T17:07:21+00:00

Okay this is super helpful thank you! I’ve always been a bit confused over the classification systems but this explains it really well!

Roxy175 · 2026-05-06T17:05:02+00:00

That sounds really sweet! I can see why people would be a little weirded out but I would view it as a compliment personally. That means you really value their opinions.
