some americans are [correctly] like,

“dont say americans are stupid for our leadership’s decisions because a lot of us, esp those of us who live in poverty + minorities whose voices arent represented in leadership, are not responsible and also targeted by these desicions and you will never feel the effect as hard as us. also, dont use the things like school shootings and our healthcare systems as gotchas against us because its fucking horrible + heartless”

aaaaand then they’ll turn around and say the exact same shit abt the south. haha these southern states are reopening how dumb!!! haha the south has [this problem that mostly affects people who LIVE THERE and affects poor disenfranchised poc] theyre so dumb LOLZ do u know how u fucking SOUND??

you know what i’m just gonna say it wlw & trans women bend over backwards in fandom and other spaces to uplift gbt men’s voices and representation. i see them posting about canon gay rep All the Time and celebrating it and celebrating the representation we get. but mlm & trans men do Not do the same. you rarely see any of us posting about wlw or wlw rep or trans women and the excuse is always “well there’s not enough” or “i just want a mlm safe space” like get over yourselves and uplift the voices of the women (& women aligned people) in the community. being gbt doesn’t excuse us from misogyny and you should care just as much abt lbt women/women aligned ppl as they blatantly always do about us

(btw the distinction there is solely bc theres straight trans ppl. theres absolutely trans wlw and trans mlm)

full offense but hozier did not release several songs saying “fuck cops, fuck capitalism, fuck fascism, fuck settler colonialism, white liberalism is useless, and also FUCK COPS” to be reduced to colonial cottagecore aesthetic by white women and be compared someone who uses tepid high school metaphors to talk about the Democrats like jfc

[wondersmith-and-sons]

the problem here isn’t a white woman releasing a cottagecore album and being compared to hozier, it’s how hozier’s previous work and political messages that were specifically written to be about non-white and/or non-Western communities are ignored in favour of what white audiences can consume. Jackboot Jump was about state violence, and it specifically draws attention to non-American events when most artists would refuse to even acknowledge it. Foreigners God and Run are about Irish colonialism by the English. Be is about inhumane immigration conditions. Nina Cried Power was a long tribute to historical activists and Black artists. these are absolutely definitive as part of that canon of work, but they are ultimately ignored in favour of songs that can be pitch-shifted to create a ~wlw love song~

this is obviously a larger issue than swift vs hozier, but it is emblematic of how white audiences consume and, in turn, ignore media that makes them uncomfortable or challenges their paradigms of systemic privilege. the problem is that when creators of colour make political narratives about ourselves, we are ignored; when white creators take time to include radical political narratives about BIPOC, they are are cherry-picked or overlooked for more sanitary messages. white audiences reduce hozier’s music to “forest king fae wizard” because it’s more comfortable to consume, and because it’s easier to draw similarities to another white artist than acknowledge the sheer depth of influence that Black artists have had.
