This is such f*ing white people shit.
This is such f*ing white people shit.
Seriously, they obviously put zero thought into it. How embarrassing. “Oh, we’ll reach out to her.” How about “Whoops, we’ll come up with something else.”
I remember the first time I heard them - in an airport on a TV monitor no less and I was WTF- who came up with that name? I find it so hard to believe no one ever said anything. Ignorance (or rather false ignorance) is bliss - especially if you are making money. And “Lady A”- no Googling? Again willfully stupid.…
Question is...did the band do any research to see if anyone might already be using the name? Because it sounds like “Oh shit...we better do something about the name. Fuck it, we’ll just be Lady A now. Done!”
Just to correct the record, it is “libel’ — written defamation or a published false statement that is damaging to a person’s reputation. “Liable” means you are blameworthy or legally responsible. You are liable for underage kids drinking at your house and its is libel to falsely state that I allow underage kids to…
I agree with the gist of what you’re saying here, and I just want to let you know that ‘libel’ is the correct word in this instance, it means defaming someone. ‘Liable’ means “responsible for by law,” as in, liable for my dog biting you.
Fair. I will redact WASP, but stand by the rest.
Only here to add that WASP doesn’t work because Jessica Mulroney’s family is Jewish. The Brownsteins, founders of Canadian shoe chain, Browns.
Jessica Mulroney tried to ruin Sasha Exeter's career because Mulroney is a racist asshole. She then tried to use Meghan as a shield. Meghan needs to drop Mulroney as a friend if she hasn't already. However Mulroney has shown she is petty af, so it would not surprise me if she started selling stories about Meghan.
As a Canadian I just want to say how fucked up what Jessica Mulroney did. She’s on TV as a nepotism hire (her husband, the son of a former Prime Minister, has been an entertainment tv host for years). She is the waspiest wasp lady ever. Sasha Exeter made a video asking people in the fashion industry to do better…
sorry I meant ubiquitous yes, bit buzzed typing last night.
Even if they mean well the video is epically cringe worthy. And most of the people that appear are the usual suspects. Debra Messing is gunna Debra Messing and Kristen Bell is gunna Kristen Bell. But WHY Sarah Paulson WHY!? I thought she was one of the good ones! Where was Holland Taylor when we needed her to smack…
Just the wording of “I take responsibility” is silly. Racism is so innocuous, I was looking around my apartment today and was like fuck my art on my walls is all white artists, books are white authors, my movie library mainly white. It’s too soon for us white folks to claim we take responsibility, we have to actually…
To be shallow, god damn do I love Andre Leon Talley’s robes. Always bringing that High-Renaissance energy into a room. He has a personal style, but consistently changes it up enough to keep it interesting, while evoking history, pure materialism (those beautiful fabrics), making people reconsider their beauty ideals, a…
It’s weird when people who don’t change their own look for decades are in charge of cutting edge fashion.
When did Kylie Jenner morph into 1970s Imelda Marcos? And is it serious? How many pairs of shoes does she own? Maybe it’s just fascist cosplay.
In response to the allegations, Simmons told The Breakfast Club, “There isn’t a black actress that I didn’t date that isn’t my friend. They don’t have the experience of me being the monster that the movie paints me out to be.”
That toxic femininity comment has me bewildered. How much more can feminists say to get the point across? So toxic masculinity is when you invade on other people’s space and somehow it’s toxic femininity that allows that to happen??? Uh no honey, it is not women’s responsibility to dictate and control the sexual…
It’s pretty sick of her to use her status as a victim of abuse to legitimize or excuse her utterly shitty views on trans people.
Littman’s research was criticized in large part because her methodology was hugely flawed and riddled with her own bias.
