I'm talking about the fashion movement more than the rumored song:

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.

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.

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…

"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?"

You have got to be fucking kidding me. How far do you have to stretch to find something to criticize Beyonce here? Good…

For every 10 articles about Beyonce (who, admittedly, almost everyone in the country is probably familiar with) published on this site, it takes away potential exposure for a female artist who is in the independent music/art world to get written about as well.

Again, I never said anyone was racist. I wonder why you jumped to that conclusion?

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!?!?"

And all I'm fucking advocating for is for this site, which presents itself as a space for women to be promoted and praised, to maybe give credence to female artists who don't have the visibility that comes with being signed to a multi-million dollar record deal with a major label.

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…

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?

What? Give me an example. Seriously. All those damn posts about Miley Cyrus on Jez before, during, and after her album came out. Lady Gaga's artpop. And you're talking about Beyonce? Girl, bye.

"...but, like, are we suddenly ignoring the fact that the woman shills Pepsi as well? 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? I'm guessing everyone is cool with…

Are you saying women can't like Janelle Monae and Beyonce at the same time?

I never said you hated black women. I wonder why you thought I was saying that? Hmm....

Dude. No. Don't be one of those respectability politics types who tries to pit different expressions of sexuality by BW against each other. You do know that Janelle Monae explicitly talks about the dangers of doing EXACTLY THAT in her music, yes? I completely agree that Janelle deserves more love than she gets, but…

Here we go with this bullsh*t again.
