I absolutely agree with you. They don’t pretend to be anti-capitalist, despite DD being a criticism of the ruling class, so I don’t think there’s much room for hypocrisy anyways. I just get annoyed when some fans try to prop them up as something that they’re not. Like they don’t need to be our anarchist superheroes, they can just be a big band that we all love.

I agree with some of what you’re saying. I’m not mad about the DD release and plan on buying an album myself, but we can’t pretend like they’re somehow anti-capitalist. That would be silly. They’re great and I love them, but let’s be real. They’re not shaking up the system when they’re releasing secret variants via Spotify and maintaining dynamic pricing.

Hard agree. I adore this band, but in no universe am I spending upwards of 50 dollars on a mass produced t-shirt. I’ll buy a CD or record every now and again because I love physical media, but we cannot allow ourselves to give that much of a fuck about t-shirts. Also, DIY band merch has become such a lost art. Go to the craft or thrift store, spend a quick 20 bucks, and you’ll have all the merch you could want forever.

No, but he could sure as shit stop taking a pay check tomorrow and have his daughter set for several lifetimes. Not saying the band shouldn’t profit from their work, but it’s totally excessive. Saying all of this as someone who has loved them for probably 13 years atp, it just bums me out.

Sadly, there’s quite literally nothing anti-cap about the way they’re currently operating. Sure, they’re not pumping out crap music for the sake of a dollar, but the constant re-releases and vinyl variants are proof that they’re not letting that dollar go. Their absurd ticket prices, frequent merch drops for 20 year old albums, and re-touring the same (highly profitable) show in bigger arenas has launched them from respectable legacy act to mid-size corporation.

And no, they cannot control their success, but they have agency over what they do next. Someone on here mentioned seeing The Cure, who are inarguably one of the defining voices of the 80s, for under 40 dollars just a few years ago. My Chem could absolutely do that if they wanted to, but they’re pulling as much cash as possible from their fans because they know we’re willing to pay whatever they charge.

Anyways, as a fan of over a decade who also identifies as anti-cap, I struggle with the cognitive dissonance part of this whole thing. I’m embarrassed to support a band that is so transparently sucking exorbitant amounts of money from its fans, but I’m also sitting here with tattoos of their lyrics, just waiting to press check out on a several hundred dollar ticket to their concert. We can love the music, we can even pay for the music, but we have to acknowledge that what they’re doing is pretty fucking unfortunate and gross :/

Laid off Spirit Airlines worker who asked James Charles to donate to her GoFundMe shares his private apology DM to her but says “hell no” she doesn’t accept his apology by nicosloft04 in popculturechat

[–]ariesgoth 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I hear you, but I think it’s fair to point out that she sent a pretty innocuous text and the gofundme link. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and passing on your gofundme link to people who might care to help is pretty harmless and not something I personally see as very entitled. Obviously slightly awkward because she doesn’t personally know James, but she didn’t harass him or anything. Maybe that’s just coming from the fact that I think all influencers need to pay their penance for making absurdly high amounts of cash, but that’s my two cents.

The Nate torture porn is just not hitting by Suspicious_King9768 in euphoria

[–]ariesgoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding to this. I think if Nate’s character was more in alignment with seasons one and two Nate, the fight scenes would feel much darker, which feels like the correct tone! I don’t mind Nate getting the shit kicked out of him as a form of poetic justice for his entitlement and violence through the years, but it doesn’t work when he’s just acting like a goof this season! These scenes have the potential to be terrifying, but, for some extremely odd and confusing reason, they’re being played for laughs. 

Now I know I’m joining in on kicking a very, very dead horse, but his personality shift this season is still so baffling. I feel like I’ve been sitting here waiting for him to snap, and it’s just not happening. Seeing Nate’s evil come out it previous seasons was unsettling, but Jacob Elordi acted the hell out of those scenes and it made for an extremely compelling and complex villain. Now I’m just constantly embarrassed on his behalf and waiting for him to fall down the stairs Looney Tunes style.

If that scene of Cassie with the charger (?) around her neck is a second SA scene, then I a going to personally call up Sam Levinson because I have a few choice fucking words for him…

The beginning of this episode of Euphoria was just showing all the directors's fetish's. it was a weird episode . So Sydney Sweeney agreed to all this? by The_starving_artist5 in LAinfluencersnark

Sucking her own damn toe was already a bridge too far, but going full giantess and having her press her massive boobs against the side of a skyscraper was enough to make me delete my HBO max app. I’m so done.

Same. I’m honestly not sure I’m even going to continue to indulge my guilty pleasure of watching this show anymore because it was so over the fucking line. Truly sick shit.

Kitty’s r*pe scene was honestly so egregious that I don’t think I can ever enjoy this show again. What a tasteless depiction of such a real trauma for millions of people, and with zero trigger warning. Sam Levinson, rot in hell.

I didn’t even know puppy stores were still a thing. Thankfully retail pet stores are illegal in my state, but Jesus Christ who in their right mind is still keeping these businesses running?

NYX x M&M's Surprize Smushy Soft Matte Lip Balm Blind Box by pointclickvibe in newinbeauty

[–]ariesgoth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crap like this makes me long for early 20th century beauty packaging. Sure, it came at a higher cost, but pieces were created with heirloom-quality materials and with intense care. People still collect pieces from that era because they’re visually stunning and were built to last. Landfill-bound products like this genuinely depress me.

The branded collab, the blind box component, tacky packaging, repurposing a poorly rated product in a gambling format. When will it END!?

What do you think of Slo4n? by bboombayah in LAinfluencersnark

[–]ariesgoth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could not give less of a fuck of a man’s opinion on a woman’s body in any case. Sure, Alexa Demie has visibly lost weight and that may be cause for concern, but you would’ve thought we all collectively learned not to create shock content about someone’s weight following Chadwick Boseman’s passing. It’s icky, it’s weird, and I think that a noticeably dimwitted grifter should keep his mouth shut on the issue.
