Okay but is Jimmy going to apologize for being a medicore white male in an industry where plenty of women and POC (who don’t do fake laughing and fake water spitting) would do a lot better job than he ever could?

But I can’t cancel something I never subscribed to.

If everyone walked off Twitter, the world would be a better place. But people are hooked on those sweet, sweet “likes” and the idea that maybe one day some exhausted and/or lazy and/or incompetent journalist will print one of their Tweets on a topic rather than actually do some reporting about it...

Remember, Trump’s base loves him because he hits the people they want to hit, like families of combat veterans and women who die of tragic accidents.

Twitter/Jack Dorsey have been absolutely appalling in their response to this. Her grieving parents and widower are being re-traumatized while twitter shrugs . It is disgusting that Trump gets to use his power to manipulate her memory, meanwhile those who actually have a claim to her memory stand by helplessly.

For the moment, I’m going to assume you’re not deliberately concern trolling. But regardless, you’re misconstruing what “believe women” actually means. “Believe Women” is not a blanket statement. It’s a shorthand that we use because the more accurate statement “afford a woman reporting an assault the same benefit of…

And herein lies the problem. Decent people will not want to keep dredging up this painful situation out of respect for the family. But Trump, who has no atom of decency in his bloated body, will keep yelling about it, his lumpen followers will repeat it and with no response then claim “cover-up”. 

#BelieveWomen is a lot easier for people to understand than #GiveAccusationsMadeByWomenMoreCredenceSinceSomeAuthorityFiguresAreOverlyDismissiveButKeepInMindThatDueProcessIsImportantAndPeopleAlsoLieAndWeHaveALongHistoryOfWhereUnprovenAccusationsHaveLedToJailtimeAndDeathForTheWronglyAccused.

This is tangentially related at best. Just let this video speak for itself and don’t use it to prop up other agendas.

This comment took an interesting left turn. From “Be wary of white women falsely accusing black men of crimes” to “Let’s not investigate a white woman accusing a white man of something that he has already been known due to do and of something for which she has some corroborating evidence even though a failure to…

(and honestly, she doesn’t want to self-reflect. she’s quite literally whining about “reverse racism” while simultaneously deflecting legit criticism. if it smells like racist...)

I’m mostly stunned that in her follow up to the original drama, she went and named ANOTHER WOMAN OF COLOR. 

Welcome to the party!  We’ve been here since that SNL debacle in 2012 - what size t-shirt?

I especially liked one of her earlier comments proclaiming her music would herald a “third wave” of feminism. Considering that the third wave has been described as far back as the 1990s, and even a fourth wave as far back as the mid 2010s, it seems apparent to me she knows fuck all about the history of feminism.

Ugh, I know I’m going to come across as contrarian, but I don’t really believe that she looks like that in real life. I think that photo is just extremely, EXTREMELY photo-shopped. 

Don’t be ridiculous. Griftin’ Donny’s involved, so no, they weren’t planning on spending millions of dollars on bunting and podiums.

“As of 2020, Del Rey has sold 19.1 million albums and over 13 million singles worldwide, while her YouTube and Vevo pages have combined lifetime views of 4.1 billion.”

This is one of those things where “debate" is actually code for unconditional approval. It’s a notoriously popular tactic for assholes who want to tweet all day without repercussions.

Doesn’t room for open debate mean engaging with, instead of dismissing, criticism?
