Doug Tenapel being a real boomer to artists who are lamenting that the proliferation of AI generated art is making their outlook on their careers look bleak. This culminates to getting rationed by some Pokémon concept artist and in retaliation Doug starts posting nsfw images the other artist drew and calling the guy a groomer. https://twitter.com/DougTenNapel/status/1642580337292111874?t=kYxVJ3btOFSCZ45Ct_07Qw&s=19

At this point I think the artists who haven't drawn porn are more suspect than the ones who have.

Also Doug backs NFTS, so who gives a gently caress what he thinks anyway E: Obviously there's even more significant reasons to not trust his opinion, but even if you can perfectly separate art from artist, he sucks at art opinions too, because he loves NFTs.

Doug once got hit on by a gay dude in a grocery store and had to run out of the store, leaving his shopping behind, to go cry to his wife that this happened And then he told the internet about it for some reason

POV: It's 2001 - 2002 and 9/11 just happened, your history teacher (who is a little paranoid) has told you that this means the world had changed forever for the worse, and your art teacher (who is heavily stoned all the time) tells you to appreciate your last year of high school because Bush is going to invade the Middle East and you're going to get drafted and wind up dead in a desert somewhere to protect some rear end in a top hat's oil profits

In high school, 2000-2004, I was a member of an LGBTQ club which regularly had demonstrations against DADT and the prohibition of same-sex marriage. That was one of the *least* political groups I was in. The musical my senior year was Ragtime. Try putting on Ragtime apolitically.

I get the sense most people didn't listen to those bands because they were political though. At least by the time I was even close to understanding Rage Against The Machine's politics I was already calling them sellout for being signed to a Sony subsidiary.

Opposite issue: many of them listened to RAtM but just ignored the lyrics or somehow thought it didn’t apply to their specific politics.

There are bands whose lyrics are opaque or subtle enough you can project whatever politics on them. RATM is not one of those bands.

Redezga posted:I get the sense most people didn't listen to those bands because they were political though. That's right, too, but that they existed still works against what that goofball racist was stating. Your comment reminds me, as well, of the effect of "even if it was political when I was younger--I didn't notice it therefore it's not political. The new things are woke and political." Also, classic:

It's easy enough. Every kid I knew in high school that liked them was more into virtuosic guitar playing going "whocka whocka weeeeeeeeeee" while another guy yells "gently caress you". They went to bands like The Smashing Pumpkins for deep and meaningful lyrics, lol. I got no beef with RATM anymore. It's good music and I'm too old and into kpop now.
