While a technofascist weirdo pop-star singing about AI is about the most 2018 thing I can think of, I find it pretty repulsive myself.

if it IS a genuine heelturn then I...don't like that? I'm only marginally more OK with fashy tech fetishists than I am with NSBM types

doesn’t doomsday science fiction about AI predate the online rationalist community by like a century?

I'd prefer irony poisoning to sincerity in this case

Poppy Breaks Down New Album 'Am I A Girl?' And Says She Was 'Bullied' By Grimes
She also worked with Grimes on “Play Destroy,” which she says is one of her favorite songs on the record despite a behind-the-scenes process she “could have gone without.”“I was kind of bullied into submission by Grimes and her team of self-proclaimed feminists,” she says. “We planned the song coming out months ago, and she was preventing it. I got to watch her bully songwriters into signing NDAs and not taking credit for songs that they were a part of. She doesn't practice what she preaches. It's really upsetting to work with a female that is very outward about a topic, but behind closed doors, it's the complete opposite. It's actually very disheartening to people that are actually feminists and supporters of other females.” (Billboard reached out to Grimes’ representatives for comment.)

Remember when Grimes made music, not drama?
― Totally different head. Totally. (Austin), Sunday, 2 December 2018 16:42 (five years ago) link
Drama is way more lucrative

The information that we get about all these feuds are always so fragmentary. It’s impossible to figure out what actually happened.
― Trϵϵship, Sunday, 2 December 2018 17:16 (five years ago) link
Like what is the “disgusting situation” Poppy drew her into?
― Trϵϵship, Sunday, 2 December 2018 17:19 (five years ago) link
And what does it have to do with Grimes allegedly abusing NDA’s to deny credits to Poppy’s creative partners? Why would Grimes even do that for a track that was collaborative? Every single thing with Grimes is like this. Never clear.
― Trϵϵship, Sunday, 2 December 2018 17:21 (five years ago) link
And who was the “team of self proclaimed feminists”? Like a feminsit lawyer squad that Grimes has that behind the scenes try to discredit female artists? I didn’t know Grimes had one of these. And why doesn’t Poppy herself mention the artists she wanted to get credited?

People are going to take sides but no one even knows what the point of disagreement is.

That's called covering your own ass, no matter the cost. Rule #1 in the So You've Decided To Be a Neo-fascist phamplet.

See I don’t think there is a “fascist” plot behind this.

I just think a lot of discourse around Grimes circles around a void of unknowability.
Thought she was addressing George H.W. Bush in that note for a minute and was very confused

every musician has drama, and tbh no one really knows what’s up (like did Sinatra kill JFK over a mob beef, maybe sure but who knows) and a lot of this Grimes drama has been at least publicly initiated by others.
