my issue with matty healy and the “it’s just a skit! it’s a performance! he’s mocking the people who actually think like that!” excuse his fans are pushing is that… why does he think it’s funny to be a racist and misogynistic asshole in the first place?? why does he think it’s funny to do the nazi salute?? why does he think it’s okay to those awful, real life issues as a perfomance?

#also these types of social commentary when coming from the epitome of a privileged person just lose the entire value of the #social performance. bc how can it be funny or criticising of smth when it’s coming from the mouth of a rich white cis man??#whose never experienced any of those issues in the first place #(ofc white/other privileged people can and should be aware of them but.. acting the way he is is just basically becoming what you’re mocking #in the first place??)#like i personally don’t find it funny when men mock women issues or straight men/women mock lgtbq+ issues 😐#every time any bit of the 1975 shows pop up on my fyp i get immediately comfortable #i don’t understand how people find him funny #and this isn’t bc he’s dating taylor btw. i’ve always been thinking this but everyone seemed to have their heads up his ass #and i was scared of saying anything lol #but yeah my other issue is that he is ugly and taylor deserves better :p #keeping up with tina
