I understand why people dont want the trans rights meme to be the only form of allyship cis people show for us but real talk id much rather it catch on for kids and teens to start saying TRANS RIGHTS for the meme then spouting transphobic bullshit for the meme
there was a post going around not long ago about how the rise of the alt right is directly related to how “marketable” its memes are to impressionable youth. And how the more left/liberal/normal fuckin human being side of things isn’t coming up with quite as catchy memes.
So yeah. If “trans rights” becomes a meme and I hear my 12 year olds parroting it… believe me, they don’t know what “subscribe to Pewdiepie” means either, but I’d rather have them scream ‘trans rights” 80 times in a class period.
I’d like to get into making Bundt cakes. Every time I see a charming Bundt cake pan with weird shapes and scallops and indententions I am overcome with a sense that I could be the sort of person who makes fanciful Bundt cakes all the time and gives them to my friends.
Look at this one. It looks like several dozen Cardassians headbutted it. That’s the vibe I want to channel with my baking.
“Gorillaz really need to slow it down with the politics! They need to go back to their normal dance music like they used to do, none of this new political business! They’re going to lose viewers if they keep shoving their beliefs in our faces like this!“
I was going to keep in the tags but nah
Dirty harry was about the Iraq war. November has come was calling out George W. Bush’s shitty presidency. Rhinestone eyes was a piece on how corporate pollution is affecting our oceans. Ascension was about racism and police violence. Hallelujah money!!! Submission!!! Let me out!!! None of this is new for them
You don’t have to enjoy music about politics, but don’t listen to music about politics and then complain that it’s about politics! There’s so much music out there; listen to something else if it’s that bothersome to you that’s some musicians think racism, war and capitalism just isn’t cool
Gorillaz was a commentary against capitalism from its inception. Damon and Jamie hated how the charts were full of music that they felt wasn’t authentic, was created with the goal of what will make the most money.
And their response to manufactured pop music was to literally manufacture a band. A band where all the players are literally two dimensional created fictions.
Gorillaz was social commentary from the start. Watch the video for Rock It.
Where’ve you been, man?
Even fucking Feel Good, Gorillaz’s most iconic song, was about the evils of media corporations that sneakily inject pro fascist propaganda into music.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
