Sometimes i think its justified

Like if I see mean spirited prank content that is ruining some poor wal mart employees day and isn’t very funny I’ll say “I didn’t like this.” The other day after kanyes nazi rant where he talked down about the late Virgil Abloh I got very annoyed and insinuated he was sucking off elon musk and that Grimes was more talented than him. This felt justified but I deleted later because the crude imagery did not feel right to me. I stand by saying he couldn’t make art angels rn though

hating things

I read a one star review of wicked on the letterboxd app on my iPhone that changed my life a little bit. I’ve been taken aback by the ferocity with which I’ve been hating things recently. I feel frustration and anger seeing an advertisement. I am a graphic design major who up to a recent point was content and expecting to follow the pipeline towards creative advertising. I have not yet accepted that We Live In A Society. I am unsure whether this is something everyone must learn, whether it’s something important I’ve missed, or whether I have spent so much time online being a contrarian that it is now just a facet of my personality. I think Chappell Roan is a poser hack. I like to harp about celebrities that I don’t know or enjoy seeing. I think Chappell Roan is a poser hack! I think she’s playing the gay community, not in a malicious way, but in the way where Chappell Roan as a character was not created by the girl who plays her, it was created by her wide team of incredibly talented and interesting artists and a Pinterest mood board, and we are lifting the girl who plays her up to mythical status. She is a fledgeling star who has been taken in by artists, who will hopefully show her to research and reference. She is a fabulous singer, but I don’t see her as an artist. The one-star Wicked review made one Large and Good point. The author, who I will have to go back and find as I accidentally cropped his name out of the screenshot, says, “I tend to feel that a piece of entertainment is only worth hating if it actively makes the world a shittier place and/or represents evil of some kind that can’t afford to go unchecked, and as much as I hated sitting through Wicked, at the end of the day there’s no part of me that thinks this film meets that criteria... If I can reverse-engineer a rationale from my reflexive decision not to review it, I think it’s because I feel like we need to be more pointed and emphatic about the things we hate, not less.“ Yeah, yeah, okay. I won’t try to justify my disdain for Chappell Roan with these guidelines. If I was reaching, I’d say she represents the degradation of authenticity. What the fuck do any of us know about authenticity? I changed my mind because of a Letterboxd review. I went into the theater expecting to hate Wicked as much as Twitter hated it. Every day I think about a meme I saw on my Instagram explore page. Nothing of me is original! I don’t know what this means. I‘ll have more to say later I think.

Openly hating

A lot of art is degenerate and we shouldn’t be afraid to say so.
