Accountability in Music [ARCHIVED] • Page 391

What nutritionist worth their salt thinks 500 calories a day is acceptable for a human being

 

Apparently one selling out for a music label

 

someone who only wants you to eat salt.

 

Baby :(

 

I have to remind myself of celeb diets and training routines when I start to compare my body to theirs. I love when women speak out because it's a necessary reminder that it's just not attainable through healthy means. The other day I was watching Shakira's concert video on HBO and was so envious and had to remind myself that she trains as a big part of her job, and that she works with that hack Tracy Anderson who doesn't like her clients to eat and has extremely unhealthy ideas of body image. I can't imagine being a woman in the public eye honestly

 

Doja Cat's "Say So" climbing up the charts pretty much confirms Dr. Luke's return to the mainstream is in full effect.

 

Wow I was JUST trying to remember why i don't fw Doja Cat and I thought it was just the homophobia

 

What’s with the homophobia? What did she say?

 

She called Earl Sweatshirt and Tyler the Creator the f-word and this was her apology:

“I called a couple of people f——ts when I was in high school in 2015 does this mean I don’t deserve support?” she wrote on Twitter. “I’ve said f——t roughly 15 thousand times in my life. Does saying f—-t mean you hate gay people? Do I hate gay people? I don’t think I hate gay people. Gay is ok.”

Yikes, had no clue about that

 

There’s nothing shocking about this to me. She seems to have a warped moral compass from other interviews I’ve seen, read, heard, etc.

 

didn't know any of that about Doja Cat, that's disappointing.

 

This is more disappointing than the Doja comments.

 

Really? Gross. I only checked her out recently after I saw her on an episode of The Cave. There’s a song on her most recent album I liked a lot but not long after I heard about her homophobic remarks on Twitter.

 

There’s also the issue that “Say So” ripped off this song and when the artist called Dr. Luke, a known thief out, he created a sock puppet account and harassed him.

The whole thing sucks.

 

Homophobic stuff is bad but not surprising going back 5 years, she just had the most tone deaf response to address it.

Her Dr. Luke stuff is very much present day and a huge disappointment.

 

This is my exact response. I’m disappointed tho bc I do like her music a lot

edited to add: I also think it’s worth saying that I don’t think it’s my lane as a white person to “cancel” a woman of color. Obviously that logic only extends to a certain point (ie r kelly etc) but still worth expressing my opinion I guess. I am disappointed but I also don’t jump to condemning /““canceling””

 

I’m not sure you know what the word racist means, so, no

 

I’m not necessarily saying she should be canceled. But Dr. Luke seems to be purposefully hiding behind women of color (Doja) and trans women (Kim Petras), as well as multiple names (Tyson Trax and Made In China) to shield himself from criticism.

I can’t count the number of people who don’t want to bring up that all of Kim Petra’s songs are Dr. Luke songs because, hey, representation. So it seems like it was inevitable he’d finally get a hit with someone, sadly.

 

It super breaks my heart to have the dr. Luke argument with trans friends who really look up to kim petras. He really does hide behind these artists and it works.

 

I think I read something about how like no I producers would work with Kim because she’s trans and that’s why she’s with Dr. Luke? I could be misremembering tho

 

From what I've read, Luke signed Doja when she was 17 then did nothing with her for years. It's only when she started getting success post-Amala that he suddenly changed his mind and wrote/produced songs for her newest album. Dude's such a scummy opportunist.

 

I see many Kim stans state this on twitter, but that's been debunked by her own collaborator Aaron Joseph. She works with Luke because she wants to and appreciates him at this point.

I can't find the specific tweets from Aaron, but there's this
