check up on your closest aroace friend, ao3 is still down

i swore i wouldn’t quotedunk on bsky but that tested my willpower 😭

wicked was a smash hit and Stephen Schwartz was born in 1948!

also it assumes specific music tastes. i was just listening to Buddy Guy! sure there are young blues performers but as a genre it respects its elders. Also, musicals are full of middle aged gay songwriters! Rent aside most musicals were not written by twenty smths

what about Max Martin tho? and at what age did Burt Bacharach stop writing music?

this was my original comment— you seem to put emphasis on the first decade of multi-decade careers. sure, both Bacharach and Kendrick Lamar started in their 20s, but thats not where their careers ended

"nearly every piece of music" seems to understate the contribution of seasoned performers who wrote popular music their entire careers to me, but you do you

you literally said "nearly every piece of music you’ve enjoyed over the last century was written by someone under 30"

gentrification? turning something lived into the tourist version

It is, at least in the manga creation world. A bunch of authors-- including Rumiko Takahashi and ONE-- have reportedly been pulling their work from Shogakukan's digital library.

"shitty leftist" =/= "stupid" or "not genuine leftists"

i do not know why you are allergic to recognizing that bigoted leftists exist and that you can just say they're bad fucking leftists

being a leftist is about as much a coherent ideology as Christianity, and if someone says "a Christian who believes [Bigotry] isn't actually a Christian" they might mean well but it is still a no true scotsman fallacy.

Just say theyre shitty leftists

Just say they're shitty leftists.

Bruh. Rejecting their "lineage" or whatever does nothing to address the ways antisemitism gets into your community. Which it does. There is a reason why the phrase "antisemitism is the socialism of fools" was coined

Call them gape-jawed wreckers, but theyre still committed leftists. They're just BAD leftists with terrible opinions. But calling them "not leftists" is a refusal to engage with how antisemitism works its way into leftist communities

you could just say that part of it instead of insisting that somehow committed leftists who are antisemitic are not leftists

how the fuck is "theyre not really leftists" a call to action bfr

antisemitism has been "the socialism of fools" for many decades and you can't root out the problem without acknowledging that it does and has existed

"you can't be committed to the good woks of Jesus and be a racist"

trust me when I say, as a Jew, this sort of rhetoric doesn't actually help
