#Tokenization Industry

[transmechanicus]

If a band’s members haven’t revealed their identities on purpose i don’t FUCKING wanna know them, the modern obsession with parasocial connection is a disease and i have nothing but respect for artists trying to ward that shit off.

[words-after-midnight]

I find the common idea that people of marginalized identities always want to write about those identities very tiring. Not every story is meant to be a direct reflection of the author's own experiences, which seems easy for people to grasp when the author is a cishet white guy, but apparently not so much when they're almost anyone else.

"Sleep Token doesn't belong into metal!"

Well they've been acknowledged by THE Metal God himself, so your opinion is literally irrelevant, go cry somewhere else.

ngl the paranoid idea that a bunch of people i know including my family are now only willing to see me if i get my shit together is pretty strong

as if i should message them with "i swear i won't do insecure rambling in front of you i am somewhat normal my apartment is presentable i have a job please forgive me" (obv won't but a girl has rejection sensitivity but it's unfortunately close to the shit my brain circus says)

Once again: Brandi Carlile is one of the most influential people in the music industry right now, and if you haven’t realized it, you’re not paying attention.

The Agony Engine

Created by the mad artificer Zaedalus in his attempt to escape the hell realm of Industry, the Agony Engine will consume everything and everyone in the world above, unless a wrench can be thrown into its blood-stained machinery. (Created using ink, Krita, and animated via OpenToonz, destroyed by a party of adventurers)

Okay so this is something that I held off on saying outright because of Natalie and the sway she had over the RPC, but one of the reasons that we require fcs to have a large following if they're not already in the entertainment industry (or trying to be in the industry) on GPN is because it feels oddly dehumanizing and tokenizing to take people who agreed to be part of a documentary or are in someone else's vlog because they are disabled or an ethnic minority and trying to use that person as an fc for "representation". While there isn't an abundance of disabled actors, they are out there, and I would much rather use an actor or model than an activist or someone who is literally just disabled and happens to be in a video, because they're not trying to break into the entertainment world, they're just living their lives.

Not to mention, when those people are only in one documentary or an episode of a show about disabilities, you're not going to get a lot of resources anyway, so it's not sustainable to use them as an FC. Just, when you're going forward and making resources of normal non-famous people because you think they'd be "good representation," please think twice about why you're actually making those resources. Would your time be better spent gifing a disabled actor or singer or model who is actually famous or even someone who's trying to break into the industry, who will likely have more footage down the line and actually give people more incentive to use that FC? Or are you just trying to gif as many people as you can to say that you're inclusive?

Get back to work, Mr. Hossin. featuring characters from @tacoguaco @pinky-lemon @crazed-be-his-name and Firideli

[homophyte]

can i be so honest. every critique ive read of nope so far has been very lacking

[meanya]

They will never make a boy pink. They refuse to give you a boy in pink. If you really want a blue girl, they will give you a blue girl, but you will never get a pink boy from them. They'd rather die before putting a boy in pink.
