Like, Jennifer Lawrence. I don't think Jennifer Lawrence is necessarily a bad person, but after she referred to Jesse Eisenberg's OCD as a "weird quirk," I can't really find it in myself to stan her, because I suffer from anxiety, and it really, really got to me. I don't assume that people who like Jennifer Lawrence are like, okay with ableism, but at the same time, if someone made a point of telling me that I should like Jennifer Lawrence, because she was probably nervous and people can say things that don't necessarily reflect what's in their hearts when they get nervous, I would probably feel as if my experience was being disrespected. Because I know that, and the point isn't that there were absolutely no reasons why Jennifer Lawrence might not be a bad person for saying something ableist, but rather that there's a  lot for me at stake when it comes to stuff like that, and so while I'm not going to vilify her for saying the wrong thing, I can't bring myself to shake off the suspicion and negative association. When you want to defend someone, you should probably assume that the people who really have something at stake have already considered your arguments, and concluded that, based on personal experience, those arguments are not enough. I've admittedly failed to respect that in the past, which is why I want to make it absolutely clear that if I have a reason for liking someone despite their mistakes, I'm not going to offer that opinion unsolicited, and that when I'm asked to provide a perspective on a fucked up action and admit that I think there are reasons for cutting someone some slack, I'm only providing my personal feelings because I was asked, not because I think those who don't share those feelings are wrong to take a different approach.

In short, here's what I want people to get: firstly, it's probably okay to list reasons for cutting a celebrity some slack, but unless you're asked, do it privately, because you should never assume that the people for whom there is actually something at stake have a particular reason to care what you think. In turn, however, let's not assume that anyone's commitment to like, equality can necessarily be defined by what they chose to forgive, because in most cases, it's simply not that black and white?

(…) Arnold leaves us with indelible images ingrained by the camera in much the way Mia might remember them years down the road. A dying fish lying on the grass sucking its last breath, a dog eating the guts of that same fish on the kitchen floor, and a cracked windshield held together by blood and human hair all linger long after they fill the frame. The meticulously placed long shots cementing the viewer’s omniscient perspective of Mia’s transition are even more telling, like when Mia and Connor face each other knee deep in a calm river, or Mia is framed by a background of epic cranes, and finally when two small children traverse through tall grass as storm clouds roll in. In a film about the suffocating stranglehold of barriers and limitations, Arnold cuts wide to hint at the growing possibilities beyond the frame. — [from the review by Glenn Heath Jr.]

There is no joke more overdone and simply unnecessary in K-Pop fandom than, "My friend just mistook this male idol for a girl! LOL."

I listened to J-Pop so long ago that BoA was primarily known to Western fandom as a J-Pop artist.

a cool story about my dad's taste in music is that when i was 12, he made me spend an afternoon listening to french folk music on vinyl, and he was like, "so do you like it?" and i said, "it's okay." and a couple minutes later, he went, "she's singing about nursing a baby wolf from her breast."
