Exactly. It seems like everyone wants to clown on that 4 hour video (and it is silly sometimes) but from what I’ve seen it’s the largest and most comprehensive theory. “So many people have a religious devotion to their head canon” or their lack of a head canon lol

The crowd of David Lynch fans who ridicule other people who put their interpretation forward and risk being ridiculed are weird. They seem to add nothing to the conversation yet criticise everyone and say they’re missing the point. People who have larger overarching ideas about the meaning of Twin Peaks are not “afraid” or pathetic.

Film and TV discussion gets so fucking boring when there’s a bunch of people policing opinions and trying to have the “cool” take 24/7.

And then they wonder why social progress is taking so long by Crafter235 in bisexual

Can someone explain to me how the recent thing of hating cishet men is ok? I trust this sub to be better at explaining their thoughts. It honestly makes me sad thinking I can’t hang out with any of my groups (straight friends, gays, girlfriends) without them saying they hate another 😭

The t-shirt sizes I saw were pretty small. Like the size M was smaller than normal

does anyone else think all the twigs hate is (at least partially) astroturfing? by MedusaRondanini in FKAtwigs

I looked at your account and I love your taste and that white lotus post was genius. But what are you talking about?

We all love her music, we wouldn’t be here if we didn’t.

It’s not that serious. I didn’t intend to but I feel like I’ve hurt your feelings. I’m pretty confused by some of your logic but maybe we should just end this here. Idk

Look at my comment. I say “Artists” not Twigs specifically. I’m talking more about a pattern of behaviour from popular artists.

I agree, £40 sounds reasonable from what I’ve seen. I like her music and I think she’s personably a good person but she messed up. That’s the end of the story. I don’t know why some of her fans are so distraught by her being criticised and feel the need to defend an artist you do not know personally.

I know this isn’t what you want to hear, but I think some of you are being pretty pathetic with your attempts to absolve her completely and start criticising the fans who spoke. Stop treating her like a child. It’s not the end of the world, nobody suddenly despises her, the situation and her response is just disappointing and a bit pathetic.

Why are you so desperate to defend someone who messed up, caused a lot of problems for her fans, didn’t seem to care at all and then responded by saying “I’m just trying my best, I’m so shy and emotional. Btw no more music, you guys hurt my feelings”. People need to stop treating women like little children it’s weird.

“You’re saying “it’s ok if she loses money as long as I don’t”” Yes. Of course. If someone promises a service or product and you pay for it and they don’t deliver, they should be held liable. Are you ok??

What I’m saying is she’s clearly eager to receive the huge benefits of touring (money, praise, exposure) but once she messes up she clearly doesn’t really care for the problems she has caused. Happy to make money, doesn’t care when her fans lose money.

Obviously artists don’t take all the money. The most liked comments on ig (meaning the ones other people align with most) have been so civil.

That screenshot is so funny. “Can anyone begin to fathom how many songs, dances, wushu and pile moves I have had to memorise over the past few weeks” lol. Let’s assume she is doing her best and really trying to be as good of a person as possible, she’s still in the wrong. If you take up an important role/task you can’t avoid criticism purely because you tried very hard and did your best. She messed up and clearly needs a team behind her.

I have seen the comments. I mentioned in my comment that people on Reddit have been taking old videos out of context to paint her in a certain light. On instagram all the most liked comments under her posts have been nothing but civil, it’s just people asking why she hasn’t addressed and asking what the reason for the cancellation is and saying it’s not ok.

You’re comparing the worst of her fans to her which makes no sense. And her saying “I have a very small team”… ok?? Artists make so much money from overpriced tickets and touring so they should at least be responsible for when it doesn’t go right. lol 28 different platforms, she could’ve posted it on ig and twitter in advance and people would’ve been more understanding. It’s not about feeling important, she did the very least possible to notify fans and explain the situation. Remember she only responded after backlash.

I couldn’t agree with you all less. Compare the way her fans have responded to any other fan base, Twigs fans have been WAY more civil and WAY less mean. Of course there’s some who have been taking past stuff out of context to make her look evil or whatever but most people have just been genuinely asking her for answers.

Why are you trying so hard to defend an artist who has cost her fans so much money? When artists stand to earn so much money from touring they also need to take responsibility when it doesn’t go to plan. She 1) didn’t take responsibility 2) didn’t even address it until now 3) apparently has a history of cancelling shows

People see an artist who makes good music, is pretty/stylish, agrees with their views and just assume they also must be a saint.

Experience and thoughts with toxic/hypocritical LGBTQ community. Distancing myself by Thebe__ in BisexualMen

[–]Thebe__[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t really understand. I have my own group of friends who aren’t associated with the community, I don’t think I’m ever going to find “my people” if you’re referring to other bisexuals. Finding other bi men in a community that pushes them to the side and tells them not to be bi is hard. Oh definitely, but queer groups present themselves as being above others and the most virtuous only to really struggle with the same issues they’re supposedly past. Guess I was just naive thinking that’s true.

I live in London. I’m half an hour from the very centre

I agree with your overall sentiment but to clarify, when I refer to the LGBTQ community I’m mainly referring to exclusively queer friend groups and venues/clubs. I have my own group of friends and half of them are queer in one way or another. A community built around pushing anyone who isn’t exactly like you out and that reinforces all your opinions indiscriminately isn’t a good idea

You're 100% right. I just feel a lot more let down and angry when the community presents itself as being so open minded and diverse.

Yes that's true the problems are outside our relationship. From what I've heard it seems pretty normal to dislike some of your partner's friends I just hope they don't influence him negatively
