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.

#my stuff #saw some stupid tabloid pretending to have unmasked sleep token’s members #and on top of being fucked up in general the headline also claimed vessel is a white man and i went into blood rage #imagine being such scum that you’d try and slander a black man for succeeding in a painfully white industry #disgusting.

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.

#obviously some authors do center their work around representation/experience of their own marginalized IDs and that's great #but for others that's not where all or most of our story ideas come from #it honestly feels super tokenizing for the industry expectation to be that if you're x you're gonna write about x #writeblr

"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.

#same goes for babymetal #it annoys me so much when people think they know more about metal than people in the industry themselves 💀#sleep token #rob halford

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)

#it's FINE #it's just that i spent halloween with a friend who is...not very good at dealing with my more messy/dumb side #and it's totally fine she actually showed affection in her own way by suggesting i look up industrial design w exemples what what i could d #but you know.#being the token fuckup is not cutting it #i did say before that i need friends who don't fit the mold of what is expected by society in terms of like #mental health or job status or income etc etc.#i think coming to terms with the fact that im legally disabled is helpful in contextualizing a lot of how i feel but #man i literally live in a country where the health system is telling me to kill myself if shit's a bit too tough #it feels a bit alienating yfm

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.

#she is absolutely RUNNING the Americana genre right now #the way she refuses to be the token and pulls up every boat with her #the way she is forcing the music industry to quit leaving these influential women behind as everyone profits off their sacrifices #I think the biggest difference is while other people treat the industry as an enigma #she treats it as the professional society it actual is #and manipulates the actual power structures with that

Question for all who see this: how petty would it be to update my rules to exclude AUs I hate

#writing stuff #not kpop #marti talks too much #there’s just like 2 in particular I cannot stand I’m sorry 💀#in my inbox right now is one AU request that is so chef’s kiss I will smooch requester & another that I will not be touching lmao #I can’t stand ‘6th/9th/8th/14th what have you member’ where the group just has one token female randomly inserted in #like that’s so unrealistic to the industry & I get it a fantasy but I find it so stupid I’m sorry 😭#no problem with it just won’t make it myself #I hate writing idol AUs too it feels so exclusive to like 99% of readers that would not be idols/be seen as having a place in the industry #like as a not skinny non-asian person why would I be a kpop idol??? it feels so unrealistic why can’t I be some other type of artist #I’m sorry if y’all read these tags & hate me 😔 I’m not trying to shade other writers I just personally do not vibe with those AUs #especially as someone who’s been dealing with a lot of weight shaming from my supposed ‘best friend’#the thought of being in the idol industry at all is lowkey triggering 💀

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?

#tbh to me it always felt ableist and tokenizing #to have like 40 gifs of someone that's disabled from one episode of a show /about/ being disabled #and then saying 'oh you want to play a disabled person? here use this!!!'#like there aren't already disabled actors that are trying to make their way into the industry #it just felt performative to me tbh #because I can't think of many people that would be okay with using that little resources AND comfortable using an every day person as an fc #and you know maybe i'm wrong about this! and you're more than welcome to disagree with me on that #but I do want to say this is a call for more resources of disabled people in the industry #as well as ethnic minorities #but i do think that gifing regular people is freaking weird #like if someone made gifs of my uncle from his tiktok because he has diabetes and they were like 'wow diabetes king' i'd die

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

#myposts #genuinely it seems like the only way people feel comfortable with interacting w this film is through the lens of 'spectacle bad'#without ever really defining what 'spectacle' means for the record!#it often takes of these contradictory meanings even in the same sentences which makes the whole thing feel worse bc like #i dont think YOU know what YOURE talking about #and the same w how the movie talks about race #earnestly if the only thing u think it has to say about race is like. people of color are either excluded from or tokenized in hollywood #then ur going to have to square that w ur critique that spectacle is bad end of sentence #is it the characters saving grace that they are exempted from an exploitative industry or should that industry be exploiting them??#bc if ur saying hollywood is bad bc excluding ppl of color + spectacle exploitation u seem to be implying that we should want #people of color to be spectacized and tokenized. and i dont think most people making those statements would agree w that #i genuinely think its the fault of this overreliance on the word spectacle as the thing that holds it together #which sucks actually bc i havent even seen people super digging into the word itself and how fascinating its usage as the bad miracle is #idk. i think theres more to the movie--way more--than just the sin of looking #witnessing and understanding through the look is so significant and so good in it. it is OJ looking at emerald him Seeing her #that gives jean jacket its name. its recognization #we learn to be less afraid of the monster when we understand it--when we see it--and know it doesnt want to be looked at #do you see what i mean?#and thats aside from how it complicates the black horror narrative itself--how it highlights desperation induced by poverty #induced by racism and racially justified disregard as legitimate problems that cant be solved by galacybraining 'nopeing' out #they try to leave--and try to Not Look to abandon the spectacle as spectacle based critique says is the main concept of the movie #and thats not possible. it doesnt work. they go back and going back necessitates looking and engaging w spectacle #like literally the answer is not as simple as 'to spectacalize is Wrong' bc the victorious endstate of the movie #is for these characters to reclaim the history of spectacle theyre denied by disenfranchisement. she takes the frame by frame pictures #their names are attached to it forever and cant be forgotten as the jockey is. how can you square that?? honestly #idk. just watching this yt video where some white woman is talking about how nope is about and only about the entertainment industry #its just not the whole picture

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.

#The only bend of the rule is for the token gay boy. But that is all #Never a pink boy.#Am I making sense? Does this make sense?#They won't give us a boy in pink. They REFUSE.#hollywood #disney #the film industry #gender roles #gender stereotypes #anya rambles #musings
