im seeing people on the tags like "fuck the kendrick lamar drake drama talk about palestine" like.
I've not seen ppl as mad about people blogging about other fandoms or hell, TADC (no hate! just wrong place at wrong time) which was trending here on tumblr at the same time as kendrick.
why are you specifically singling out people talking about a real life black man who constantly incorporates discussions of political issues, discrimination, and history of racism into his art.
this whole drama is about drake, who profits and the image of being black while being severely disconnected from the culture and history. (this didnt feel like a good explanation, many others in the tag have talked about it please check that out)
like think to yourself why are you mad at people talking about specifically kendrick over other fanbases
“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
'kids these days are weirdly scrupulous for no reason'. WRONG not for no reason. grew up on increasingly de-anonymized internet, being available to everyone all the time, data tracked, google sees all, digital panopticon, etc. less and less space to explore and form own opinions without judgment from broad public audience. lack of privacy can be deeply traumatic and cause intense paranoia, obsession with thought crimes, morality, etc. not good.
