just gonna go ahead and say it
grimes was a very typical vancouverite (looks, attitude, and everything) who still never fully realized til she moved to a big city (hello los angeles) her anti-establishment/radical socialist ideas have no place in the modern world -- it's vancouver's and mayor gregor robertson's "greenest city"/vision vancouver ploy
now she doesn't really want to handle the consequences of her ideas if she goes through with them from a practical conclusion/view

srsly tho vancouver norms trying to claim grimes is even lamer than mtl hipsters who can’t keep her name out their mouth being overfamiliar and creepy-mean. ‘This person went to elementary school in my city so i have special knowledge of her’ lol stfu leave my Nazi princess alone

I think the idea of artists being shaped by their cities is kinda exaggerated, especially in the era of internet/globalisation.

I find Whiney's position mystifying here -- Grimes is actively caping for a union-buster, fuck that, she gets to absorb some heat for that -- but find his Primus clip just delightful so it's a wash

You guys are actually reducing an artist's entire aesthetic and belief system down to who she's fucking and acting like it makes you the progressive ones.

She explicitly defended Musk & Tesla's very dubious business and labor practices on Twitter. Like Joan said, it's an explicit endorsement of politics many of her fans find repulsive.

I mean maybe she invites it by engaging a lot w/her fans online(?); and saying “i’ll address it in my next ama!” is kinda rofl-y – but I dunno how anyone would expect a person to respond to such tweets other than “Nunya beezwax” or a defense of some kind.

yeah so would I, but that's not the point. it doesn't ameliorate her understandably confused & upset fans.
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 22 May 2018 22:20 (six years ago) link
I thought her defense was the point (as you stated it) – if the point is simply they’re upset that’s she’s dating him, that’s a different kettle of fish (but if they @ her and she responds, it’s on them)

The Grimes thing gets treated like a joke, but speaking as a sexual abuse victim myself it's just so grim to see a person who's written about her experiences with assault as movingly as she did on "Oblivion" use it as justification for transit privatization & gentrification pic.twitter.com/IcvaGb4x2J— Sean T.

i mean at least one can say that she made this whole thing very entertaining for the public.
― Van Horn Street, Wednesday, 23 May 2018 03:28 (six years ago) link
i'm telling you
she is influenced by the cities she has lived in and not only that but, this is what i was getting at earlier:
This is also an entirely typical attitude amongst people from Vancouver’s wealthy west side (where she grew up). Our transit system is fantastic compared to most cities; it also happens to be well used by “scary” folks from poorer neighbourhoods— Regan (@creepeffect) May 22, 2018
