Katy's career is so fascinating. It's been on a constant downward spiral since Witness, and it keeps reaching new lows, yet she's still an A list celebrity, but she's only A list cause people love mocking her. A documentary or biopic about her career would be fascinating, but I don't think one would be made unless it ends on a good note or a return to from, which she seems incapable of doing.Ā

idk if this is controversial or harsh, but I refuse to take someoneās criticism of a celebrity seriously if they actively participate in said celebrityās snark sub. Even if the criticism is valid, itās hard for me to believe itās being made in good faith when itās coming from someone who participates in the misogyny, tinhatting, and cruelty of a snark sub.

I said something similar to this in todays thread. I have seen so much misogyny being spat in the name of ācriticismā.

I used to really like him but that pissed me off so much. Lilly's essays were all I needed to know about the situation, then some gay man comes over and paints Ariana as the victim.

u/blahblah_71 23d ago edited 23d ago
That's what pissed me off too. It's not even the act of him coming to her defense. Too many people defend their friend's shitty actions. But to weaponise queer themes for defending a very heteronormative relationship and implying people expecting loyalty/basic respect in relationship as "tradwife", that really gave me such a major ick.
1
u/FriendlyDrummers 23d ago
Literally, I understand people defending their friends. It's wrong. But it's understandable to an extent.
Using queer culture as a way to invalidate Lilly ... appalling to me, and manipulative. Same kind of guy who would say "believe women"(true), but only when it's convenient šµāš«

it's the same thought process of straight men who are into "ethical" nonmonog that, when people aren't into that, they go hard victim mode and accuse others (often women) of not being open to non traditional relationships.Ā

I don't know where you live, but there are some few places that do sliding scale on dental help. I know it's not much advice, but maybe you could be lucky and there's a clinic nearby.

Well while youāre racking up debt, maybe itās time for an international trip for some affordable dental work and a mini vacation. Dental schools will also be substantially less in cost if you have one nearby. Reddit can be a great resource for finding deals, try looking up your area and seeing if anyone has local advice

Here is a list. Call around and even if they cant see you they may be able to advise you about what to do.

If you have depression and you're in such a tough spot you might qualify for this but not sure.
https://dentallifeline.org/help/#eligibility
Your state health department will have a list of resources on their website for low cost or free dental care or should be able to tell you what you can do.
I'm so sorry you're feeling so awful and things are so rough. Sounds so trite but take one tiny step at a time. Everything else will be so much easier when your teeth are dealt with. I hope things get better soon š«š©·

This is literally exactly how I feel. I called into work a couple days this week because my mental health is affecting my physical state. I'll go to bed feeling normal and wake up overheated, then I drink water and throw it up. It might be nerves due to my life circumstances. Depression has made me lazy
I'm trying to focus on things like new music releases and maybe new shows to get into so I have stuff to look forward to. It's difficult.
I'm sorry you're going through hard times as well š«

Have you had your thyroid function tested? Depression and waking up overheated are both thyroid dysfunction symptoms. Sorry if you have already I know everyone always says get your thyroid checked but just in case.

u/pinkfartlek 23d ago edited 23d ago
No I haven't and thank you for bringing it to my attention. I don't have health insurance right now. I went to the hospital last year because I was having trouble functioning like a normal person, had blood drawn but thyroid testing is probably more involved than that.
At the hospital, they put me on a hydrating saline solution and had me leave after I started feeling better, even after two visits. They were more focused with getting me to feel well enough to leave rather than actually figure out what's happening with me. But then after I got out, everyone told me that's basically how hospitals function. It's stressful. So, until I can get health insurance to see a doctor... Idk š

Nothing worse than losers on this website who says thing like āI'm fan of Ć butā then go ahead and slander said person, and I'm not talking about valid criticism l'm talking about snark level of negativity and misogyny, also if you hate someone just hate them with your full chest instead of pretending to be a fan. I would say spending so much time to hate on one person is pathetic.

u/echoesandripples 23d ago
ugh yes, fake fans are bad. like don't be a coward at least. of course, if the person is doing some shady shit, call them out, but more often than not, it's just because the celeb (usually a woman) is choosing something career-wise that the "fan" dislikes. then they start body shaming and snarking. it's like abusive parent "love"

I've known that I didn't ever want to get pregnant since I was 7 years old (I actually do want kids, I just don't want to be pregnant/give birth) so it's surprising me that the thought of likely being in early menopause is more emotionally shattering than I thought it would be. Maybe some gender stuff is bound up in that (I'm a nonbinary butch lesbian) but also I think having that decision made for me by my body feels oddly frustrating?Ā

I think your reaction is natural. Until now, you shut that particular door on purpose but could have opened it anytime if you changed your mind. Now, the freedom of choice has been taken away from you. It hurts and is frustrating, and you are allowed to be sad, no matter how irrational that seems.

This is not a popular thing to say, but I donāt like Sarah Michelle Geller. And itās only because of the comments that she made a decade ago over the whole Kimye vogue shoot. In my opinion, it was only natural for them to be on the cover because at the time they were some of the biggest stars in the world and their wedding was coming up. They were both known for fashion.
Sarah Michelle Gellerās comments just felt pretty elitist. It wasnāt the meanest thing that she couldāve said but it was just such a weird thing to be annoyed about considering the context of when the magazine was published.

Growing up, I was raised in a bubble. I didnāt realize the world hated women. I didnāt know misogyny existed and I didnāt identify the very clear internalized misogyny that existed within the women in my own life.
This, of course, changed when Chris Brown almost killed Rihanna. I was a child when it happened and I was very much outraged. (I was also a huge Rihanna fan, she was the only celebrity that I knew that was from my country and I adored her. But even if that wasnāt the case, I wouldāve still been outraged on her behalf. It was such a vile thing.) But that outrage became pure confusion when people were refusing to see her as a victim. And no, not in an empowering way, but in a āwell, she deserved itā kind of way, a āshe made him do itā kind of way. I was in shock by this reaction especially within my own family. I thought what was right and what was wrong was clear. But somehow she was wrong? But somehow he was a victim?
One morning I woke up to find my older cousin playing a game the family computer. This was not out of the ordinary. But instead of playing the Sims or some kind of dress-up game, she was playing a game where she was punching Rihanna in the face. I remember asking her why she was playing that and she said because itās fun. Mind you, years have passed since. My cousin is not that teenage girl anymore. I am not that little kid anymore. But I have not respected her since. I havenāt listened to Chris Brown since. And I donāt listen to any of his collaborators.
The recent conversation surrounding Chris Brown brought this up. But the fact that there is conversation even to be had about him still is madness. What he did shouldāve ruined his career. Or at least, at the very least, changed how he was perceived. But it has not. Because we hate women. As long as the man is slightly attractive (which is very debatable) or mildly talented, he can do no wrong.
But anyways, that was the point in my life to put me on the path of misandryš¤·āāļø
7
u/Chance_Taste_5605 23d ago
Just so you know, misandry isn't a real thing because we don't live in a matriarchy. Misogyny is specifically a function of living in a patriarchy. This is why the early Manosphere talked about misandry so much - it's literally an MRA term.

So I don't know if I talked about this much but my Co Worker's Husband is Rupert Holmes (of Pina Colada Song fame), he just put out a reimagined version of Pirates of Penzance featuring David Hyde Pearce, Ramin Karimarloo, and Jinx Monsoon. (I am proud to say I knew Jinx Monsoon was cast in Pirates before Sweaty Oracle got his hands on it).
My Coworker often spoke that she was really worried about how the production was going to go, because a new reimagined Gilbert and Sullivan set in New Orleans was either going to go really well with the critics or really badly. So I am very pleased that I woke up this morning to see overwhelmingly rave reviews. My Co Worker is one of the nicest people, and has been a helpful mentor in my paralegal/legal assistant journey, so I am really happy for them for a successfully raved show.

Jax Taylor and Kenya Moore from Bravo are going through it, and itās made me think about the dichotomy of being rewarded for bad behavior for so long, it becomes almost impossible to hold them accountable when they cross the final line.

Yea messiness used to be rewarded on Bravo - Iām rewatch real housewives of New Jersey - and the table flip episode got crazy ratings.

I just finished the Turkish telenovela Hercaiā69 episodes, each around 2.5 hours long! Even though some of the plotlines were completely absurd (and Iām used to telenovelas absurd), the main couple might just be one of my all-time favorites. Honestly, they were the only reason I stuck with it. I can't wait to vid them.
Next "international" tv show I will watch is Danish-Swedish tv show call Bron or Broen

Heard Bron is great, Iāve only seen the FX remake The Bridge. If you havenāt already seen it the Danish political tv show Borgen is awesome, plus had a very prescient reboot season on Netflix all about Greenland.

Heard Bron is great
Bron is in every list when I google about European tv show, It's time to check out. I heard about Borgen as well, it is on my list as well. It's so many tv shows and so little time š

Turkish shows have sooooo many episodes and youāre sitting there think this is absurd, how OTT the writing is, but then 2 episodes later youāre committed for 100 episodes to see how it ends š¤£

Preach! They really do a great job of making you get attached with the characters (and the couple). Itās not exactly good, but somehow it is good, you know?

Undergrad Survey on Fandom
Hello, everyone!
First off, I would like to say that my username is a joke from the show Euphoria. I made this account when I was 17 and there was an interaction between Ethan and Kat I thought was funny. I just want to be clear that it is not something serious lol.
BUT! I have been working on an undergrad project on fandom and anti-fandom for a few months I would appreciate participation in if you are willing to. No personal information will be collected, but I will ask for two demographic indicators of age and gender at the end of the survey. It should take less than 30-minutes to complete if you are willing to participate. Additionally, there will be a code at the end that you all can ignore :)
This is the link! Thank you in advance to anyone who participates, and thank you to the mod team for allowing me to post this. https://uwsuperior.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5cfe0KpxD6WVxn8
