Not trying to be defensive, i was genuinely curious. I think that you just highlighted how not black and white this stuff can be. Like if you tour together then it’s ok to support each other? I don’t know, i think if Julien, who is a very outspoken activist still supports Half Waif after her comments about Evan then maybe it’s not so cut and dry. With that said, everyone is entitled to their feelings. If what she said makes you uncomfortable, that’s ok. I just don’t want people to think less of those who are still excited about this.
Not all artists who go on tour together show continued support to each other. Also, how is someone being defensive by asking a simple question?
my statement had zero things to do with the conversation from last night, was just pointing out a connection. i don't know why that had to be brought up again, especially when you were using it just to prove your own point that i still feel is incredibly unrelated to my own feelings of discomfort. i have the album in my library, and i've wanted to listen to it, but every time i approach it i end up turning away. are you saying my feelings aren't valid? i haven't once told anyone how they should feel in this occasion, but trying to convince others that their feelings don't matter is way way wrong
Tell me where i did this. Read my post again Casey. I pretty much said your feelings are valid. The problem is you frequently act like your way of feeling is the only way of feeling.
Maybe read the whole conversation. It isn’t even remotely defensive. Asking a question isnt defensive. Lol
you should never tell anyone who feels uncomfortable supporting artists that they feel wrong. it is very very different between telling someone who is supporting an artist not to.
I don’t think that asking someone to explain their statement is defensive ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I read @cwhit’s post several times and I was wondering what the point was also
I don’t need to reread the thread to realize that you connected two different points and can’t admit that your wrong. Also there’s plenty of non agressive ways to word the question other than “what’s your point” which clearly carries a defensive tone.
especially when there is context based on last night that you are relating that whole conversation with what i just said, an entirely unrelated point that has nothing to do with julien's support of nandi in regards to the statements, and solely just pointing out the objective fact that they toured together so friendly support isn't surprising
I don’t know how you could read his post as anything other than “they toured together so it’s not surprising that she is using her platform to promote half waif” There was nothing else to it and y’all are on some gotcha shit.
this conversation is: teebs: julien and half waif are friends that's so cool!!! cwhit: well duh they toured together everyone else: BUT JULIEN SUPPORTS HALF WAIF YOU SHOULD TOO
This isn’t what happened. And nobody told you how to feel. Nobody told anyone how to feel. And are you sure thats what Teebs point was?
It’s like talking to a brick wall. If your going to ignore huge parts of the convo then what is the point in having a discussion?
