I mean, I knew he was a legend, and a world respected art conniseur (on top of countless other achievements), but “The Nightmare Before Christmas” part is new to me.
He was an avid chef and wrote an entire goddamn cookbook.
He was a lifelong member of PFLAG after his daughter came out as a lesbian.
Basically Vincent Price was one of the best humans to ever exist.
More than one cookbook.
His daughter also says that when she came out to him, he replied
“You know, I know just how you feel because I have had these deep, loving relationships with men in my life and all my wives were jealous.”
so happy for everything taika waititi’s doing for queer, Polynesian, and jewish rep and I think his work is amazing but as soon as one of his projects disappoints anyone slightly all this weird idolization is going to be such a god awful wreck
ok I’m glad I’m not the only one whose used John mulaney as an example but also also also!! Lin-manuel miranda went from being worshipped and carrying a lot of poc rep to pretty insane backlash, which justified or not (a mix of both) was definitely overblown because of the culture of worship and the pedestal some of u put him on
my unpopular opinion is that i hate tiktok because now people just publicly watch loud ass videos in public spaces with no regard for anyone else. 100% it was not this bad with youtube, it’s such a different thing with tiktok. put on headphones. you are grown.
Girl……
This is it! This is what social media/smart tech have done! They’ve rotted away any distinction between private and public.
Yes, we do have the right to make demands on public behavior. Of course we do. Have you never heard of laws and etiquette? I’m not allowed to grocery shop naked. You can’t rummage through my purse. I can’t have a work meeting in the middle of a movie theatre.
I remember when it was taboo simply to answer your cell phone in public. The person answering would apologize and try to go to a more private area. Then public calls were normalized. Then putting people on speaker. Then listening to music without headphones. Do you know how many times I have hiked up a mountain or driven to the beach, only to be met with someone blaring shitty top 40 music from their portable speaker, because Heaven forbid you go one hour without noise?
Old woman yells at cloud and all that, but I can’t believe someone is not only admitting this behavior, but saying it’s a good thing! No one likes you! You’re a menace!
BEING INCONSIDERATE OF OTHERS IS STILL BAD.
It was obnoxious when it was youtube.
It was obnoxious when it was music.
It was obnoxious when it was the radio.
It was obnoxious when it was dudes wanting to talk to you instead of letting you just read your freaking book.
Do you want to be this guy? Because being obnoxious in shared spaces is how you become this guy.
Wear your damn headphones like an adult participant in the social contract.
