she's one of those artists i can't imagine ever touring again, and i'm guessing her absolutely demented associations aren't getting more blowback and backlash because ppl don't care about her anymore, unless they're extremely online stans.
― omar little, Wednesday, 28 June 2023 17:49 (one year ago) link
i think she's playing some festivals in south america later this year
as far as backlash being reduced, she's barely put out any music in the last few years so that's surely a factor. if the new album ever comes out then that'll be enough for her to get more attention and get more backlash
― ufo, Wednesday, 28 June 2023 18:22 (one year ago) link
It’s a weird standard. Ariel Pink and John Maus got cancelled and get removed from festivals (eg: https://pitchfork.com/news/john-maus-exits-electronicon-2023-lineup-curator-george-clanton-apologizes-for-booking-him/ ) for attending the Capitol riots, which yeah sucks and fuck them, but meanwhile Grimes is partying with facists and she’s still around.

I guess you get a pass if you’re not explicit enough and tweet racist dog whistles instead.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 28 June 2023 18:38 (one year ago) link
at the risk of getting canceled myself, while her comments are bad, it sort of seems like if you accept a crude definition of patriarchy, as many do, then you sort of have to come to her conclusion. if a system of oppression is total then it’s responsible for the good things too. put another way, by trying to show just how deep things go, we can sometimes grant them more power than they really have. i think a lot of nu-fascism comes crawling through little conceptual openings like that.

I think Thiel and company fund this crap because they know where people can likely end up as far as political and economic stances go, but so much of it is just fatuous bullshit that sounds like it came from a 20 year old who has been away from home a couple years and decided it's interesting to be contrarian in a trolly way.

I was curious:
In the book, Perry, a columnist at the New Statesman,[3] compares liberal feminists surrounding sex to capitalism.[3] Perry argues that effective means of contraception has benefited men by representing sex as a recreational activity.[2] Perry explores the abuse of women who produce pornography, arguing the notion of consent can mask harms and the association between pornography and violent sexual behaviour.[4] Considering men, Perry notes the temporal correlation between erectile dysfunction and the use of pornography.[4]Perry draws upon her experience of working in a rape crisis centre to argue that liberal feminism minimises the sex differences, resulting in an unwillingness to consider what women can do to reduce the risk of sexual assault in a desire to avoid victim blaming.[2] Perry argues that conceptions about rape being motivated by the desire for power may be incorrect and may be motivated by a desire for sexual gratification.[5] Perry argues the sex-positive movement requires women to not comment on certain sexual behaviours such as kinks, sex work, and engage in sexual behaviour like men.[2] Perry expresses alarm at the sexual practice of choking, noting an increase in the practice and concern regarding the rough sex murder defense.[4]

In 2013 Haider and Muhammad Syed co-founded Ex-Muslims of North America (EXMNA), an advocacy organization and online community which aims to normalize religious dissent and to helping create local support communities for those who have left Islam.[6] The organization was first based in just Washington, DC, and Toronto, but is now active in over 25 locations in the United States and Canada.[1]EXMNA believes Muslim communities often shun those who are accused of apostasy as well as their families and that fear of excommunication and violence makes it dangerous for closeted ex-Muslims if they are exposed as disbelievers.[10] They have stated that Islamic "apostates live with a level of threat that influences every aspect of life," because when someone leaves the faith they often lose their community and social support including their mosque, their friends, and even potentially their family. This is the reason why EXMNA believes that it is very important to normalize dissent in religious communities and why they have created a network of social support for those who chose to leave Islam.[11][12] Due to the fear of apostates being "outed," EXMNA has a lengthy screening process to ensure the security and safety of EXMNA members.[11]In 2015 she gave a speech called "Islam and the Necessity of Liberal Critique" at the American Humanist Association's 74th annual conference in Denver, Colorado, that has been widely viewed since uploaded to YouTube. During an interview with Dave Rubin she said she was nervous to deliver the speech, believing the topic of Islam and dissent to be "sensitive", yet was delighted at how well the speech was received.[7] Haider, a self-described liberal, is disheartened by what she feels is a hostile attitude towards Ex-Muslims by her fellow liberals. She has said women who leave Islam often "face ostracism, beatings, harassment and threats from their families and communities, forced travel back to home countries to pry them free of Western influence, and forced marriage," and therefore should be among the most welcomed by the liberal community. However, she feels that she and other Ex-Muslims are shunned by the left, having been called an Islamophobe. Haider has stated that this makes the position of Ex-Muslim atheists precarious because "the political right is not our friend. We don't have allies on the right due to our atheism," but at the same time she feels Ex-Muslims also have very few allies on the left.[3]In 2017 Haider decided to take EXMNA on a tour around the United States and Canada to speak at college campuses throughout the 2017–2018 academic year. EXMNA spoke on a variety of topics that affect Muslims and ex-Muslims.[1]
