Lol.... tear it to shreds



You barely said anything except whine about SJWs, froth at the mouth and get stupidly angry without any substance over an opinion. If that's your equivalence of a counter argument I'm not surprised you struggle with understanding something so simple!



The points made in the review were very clear and make a lot of sense. Your point seems to be - i quote you:



'lmao'



'says the guy who 5'd a Foxing album'



'grow the fuck up you SJW pussy'



'if you only listen to art that is all pretty and happy and socially acceptable (by your standards, mind you) you must pigeonhole yourself into a teeny tiny corner

'



That last one seems to be you trying to say: 'if you think something is a problem then you *can't handle it*' which is a pretty infantile and obnoxious way of trying to misrepresent what I said to satisfy your worldview which is ignorant and pretty wrong.



Part of just generally having a critical outlook on everything we consume media-wise is about understanding the limitations of everything. Yeah that can be difficult but it's worth doing because you get an understanding of how and why seemingly small things can affect other things.

Related to what I said - if you actually listen I said that background 'misogyny/racism/classism - whatever you want - is more harmful than explicit when the media is consumed en masse.



Simply the reason behind this is that people are much more aware of the problem when it's right in your face - like the misogyny in the early the weeknd stuff. When it's a background problem it usually only serves to build up a picture of what is *normal* to a lot of people.



Hence why people might be against alt-right groups and white supremacy speeches, and being overtly racist BUT no-one really as easily dismisses under-representation of black people in work/media/positions of power. Because it's background and it builds up an understanding in people of what is *normal*.



That's literally the point I was making. I still listen to music that has these problems and films that have these problems and news that has these problems ect ect ect. You made that up that I didn't.



But it helps to be aware of the limitations of said media. Literally my point.



I have this rated as a 2 mostly because it's dull, but people's repsonses to me literally prove my point that people get normalised to this stuff. And when someone questions it they get angry and can't understand why it's a problem...



But cheers for the: 'fall off the fucking planet you cunt'. Truly a response that really explores the point I made

I literally have no idea how much you know because you didn't actually *say* anything - you just made random insults and strawmanning

"That's literally the point I was making. I still listen to music that has these problems and films that have these problems and news that has these problems ect ect ect. You made that up that I didn't. "



and my point was that you better have the same level of criticism for all art across all mediums when you get your panties in a knot if you want your criticism to be legitimate



which sounds fucking stupid doesnt it, because it is



go listen to taylor swift or some shit

That's about the response I expected tbh.



*i want a discussion! *

*gets discussion*

*doesnt know what to do*



I pretty much do my best to criticize everything and understand its limitations yh that's how I roll . If you don't fine - but don't get angry and insult people when they do that's just being stupid

JS19 you haven't formulated anything that could even be considered remotely tangential to a genuine point so your faux-condescension is mysterious to say the least.

Just because I didn't say what you agree with doesn't mean it's not a point lol

Correct. It's because you didn't make a legitimate point, nor anything resembling one.
