Is there such thing as "commenter privilege" where you feel entitled to comment on every effing thing and that your opinion is so important that it must be stated? Girl, I am really loving how she thinks Jez articles are for her LMAO.
Yo, I'll be honest here - I think you are feeling really defensive (understandably) but it's causing you to make some really ugly arguments and comments. It's hard when everyone is jumping on you, but I think you ought to take a minute away from this thread.
I'm not backpedaling. I absolutely think that a significant portion of the OP's issue with the Beyonce coverage is rooted in anti-blackness and annoyance at the hyper-visibility of successful black woman.
You keep bringing up the argument that Jezebel only focuses on Beyonce and no one else. I'm not going to do it for you, but you can look up for yourself all of the non-famous female artists that are feminist. Hell, they wrote an article today about a rapper named Angel Haze who's coming out with her first album in…
OMG reconsider it PLEASE. You can read whatever you want, but everyone is annoyed because you want to waste so much time talking about your own preferences on this article when we just want to celebrate who we like! If you don't want to come to the celebration because you don't want to celebrate her, then DON'T. I…
That's a noble cause, but not really the point of Jezebel, or at least not the only point of it. And you were pitting Gaga against Beyonce, which is actually just stupid. And you equated Beyonce's Pepsi deal with contributing to black obesity in America, which is not only quite a leap, but also pretty harmful. If you…
Janelle Monae is a Covergirl! ANTI-FEMINIST!
You're (still) missing the point. No one is saying that you can't have opinions. But exactly what does "ZOMG, Beyoncé again?!" contribute to the conversation? Honestly? You didn't comment and say, "I disagree with XYZ points made in this article because ABC." You said "Why does this article have to be here?!?! WHY!?!?"
LMAO.
Well, imaginary babies are not that hard to raise, so you wouldn't need two parents.
And another thing: people aren't even criticizing the material or topic at hand which is her album. Most of the criticisms are personal (calling out her character, calling her boring) or unrelated (the whole endorsement thing). When the Miley Cyrus video and VMA performance came out, people were criticizing that…
But you still haven't named an act that you'd prefer get coverage. Do it!!!!!
Cellphones are made with raw "conflict" minerals from places in Africa, where wars are fought over the control of these minerals. But you don't see me hating on Janelle Monae for endorsing this, or people for using cell phones.
I didn't say that. Please don't strawman me, gurl. You're making the point that there should be a "Beyoncé Free Zone" because you're sick of the content. I just pointed out the fallacy in your statement that this wasn't content you want. You clearly want to debate/discuss (as evidenced by your engagement with your…
I'll be reconsidering being an active reader and commenter on this site.
I hate the "if you don't like it, don't read it" argument. It's fucking lazy. I'm sorry — this is the Internet, and I'm allowed to click on whatever the fuck I feel like and I'm also allowed to share my opinions on whatever content I read.
Dude, they're talking about her because she dropped a surprise album. When an artist does their art, they get talked about on media sites. God knows there are enough artists I don't give a tinker's damn about that I end up having to deal with because I choose to read pop culture articles (let's start with Britney,…
White women already have enough platforms to spout their BS, I'm not going to be another audience member or supporter for their causes. Sorry, girl.
I mean, does no one else find it problematic that a black woman is promoting soda when most blacks in America are suffering from poor dietary habits, obesity and limited access to healthy food?
