Unfortunately, the mayor of Corpus Christi doesn't believe that government should be able to force people to leave and never got an evacuation ordered

Even if the government didn't order an evacuation, several days of "a giant fuckoff storm is coming and you will probably literally die if you don't leave" news coverage ought to be enough.

Without evacuation orders, a lot of (perhaps even most) people assume it won't be that bad. It's not a big jump in logic to make, especially if you don't keep up with the news much. "If it was going to be a disaster, they would have ordered me to evacuate."

I mean, it's okay to like catchy tunes if you recognize the problems of its creator. It's fine to like Buffy and still accept that Joss Whedon was an unfaithful dickbag who used both feminism and the patriarchy as excuses why he was he a cheater. When and if the artist is putting their Bad Stuff into the medium they create the art in, it's important to acknowledge that, and not to defend it just because other aspects of the thing make you like it.

and yeah it's ok to like "problematic" things. You just need to recognize whatever's hosed up about it and not condone it.

I know that it's really hard to separate the artist from the music though.

I was jamming to Ignition the other day before I remembered how hosed up R Kelly is.

This post especially is extremely helpful. I was kind of baffled by the whole phenomenon because it sounded like Swift - already an insanely popular and wealthy woman - was just going after West hard for a slight from almost a decade ago, and made me think this whole thing was blown out of proportion. But if her whole brand is based off generating drama and then playing the victim, it makes sense that she is doing her best to stir the pot in ways that seem accidental.

The award was for best video, not song, at the vmas which are the music equivalent of the golden globes : basically a night of fellating themselves. Single Ladies won at the Grammy awards which is really the one that matters.

Tbh I don't know the Taylor Swift song it was up against (or any Swift song, actually), but speaking as an Old, the Single Ladies video is really good and perhaps the only music video from that time I've watched fully, and multiple times at that.

Considering that Swift won the award over Beyonce at the MTV awards and that Beyonce won the Grammy for best song this might not be the line you want to go down
