don't idealize celebrities and you won't be upset when they do things you don't like

( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 8 May 2018 17:39 (five years ago) link

an ILM without gross comments about female musicians has never been the ILM i've known though it's less frequent now, the herd's been thinned and certain posters (myself included) have grown up.

she can do what she wants, also maybe we shouldn't speculate even passively about whatever went down w/her previous relationship, all things considered.

omar little, Tuesday, 8 May 2018 17:39 (five years ago) link

i find it unfortunate, that this is how ILM remains.

imago, Tuesday, 8 May 2018 17:49 (five years ago) link

i'm sorry for derailing the thread everyone, love you all, no excuse, gonna stop talking abt it now

challops trap house (Will M.), Tuesday, 8 May 2018 17:53 (five years ago) link

ok so seems like the exact same kind of celebrity gossip that ilx does every day but i guess there is an ilxor involved? just saying to someone who didn't know that nothing in this thread scans as objectionable

kinder, gentler (sleepingbag), Tuesday, 8 May 2018 17:56 (five years ago) link

there's an elon musk thread in ILE can we take it there instead

lol yeah i mean obviously but it's still surprising & disappointing at some level. people feel very connected with artists and Grimes is an eminent millennial artist, with a history of activism & advocating for liberal/leftist causes. so intellectually yeah, it's easy to say "who cares who she dates/who she's seen with," and even if you don't care that it makes her look like a hypocrite, it's just disorienting, like one of those mr. krabs memes.

flappy bird, Tuesday, 8 May 2018 18:08 (five years ago) link

This is reminding me of all the weird shit FKA Twigs got when she started dating Rob Pattinson.

Yerac, Tuesday, 8 May 2018 18:09 (five years ago) link

I know the boat story is old but I just learned about it today, the same day I learned Grimes is dating Elon Musk, and I can’t help but feel these two enthusiasts of new and daring modes of transportation are perfect for each other, my best to the happy couple.

How do you always manage to find the threads where sexism is at play and be a dumbass? Do you receive a sort of bat signal or something? Does your sexist nose just smell where the misogyny is?

I'm guilty of jumping into threads about musicians I'm not that invested in when there's something newsworthy, but doing it at this juncture for this particular situation is some drooling-over-tabloid news

seems a little overwrought for a bunch of ppl jezebel-lighting on a younger girl dating a supervillain billionaire 20 years her senior, but you know, who gives a fuck you + katherine can interpret the world however y'all want xpost to euroshithead

are we sure this is actual dating and not just a scheme to release a grimes-themed tesla car in the near future to distract from the fact they can't produce more than a few cars per day

mh, Tuesday, 8 May 2018 18:31 (five years ago) link

seriously though, if I had a nickel for any time two people with some level of celebrity appeared at an event together and the gossip press fell over itself to claim there was something serious going on, I'd definitely have more net income than tesla motors

mh, Tuesday, 8 May 2018 18:32 (five years ago) link

i wouldn't be surprised

grimes sold out when she moved to los angeles

F# A# (∞), Tuesday, 8 May 2018 18:33 (five years ago) link

wait til she moves to Mars.

omar little, Tuesday, 8 May 2018 18:34 (five years ago) link

i for one look forward to her Martian concept album recorded on its actual surface

it's a mystery to me that he's still allowed to post here

, Tuesday, 8 May 2018 18:56 (five years ago) link

believe it or not, it is possible to hold in one's head the thoughts "I enjoy Grimes' music," "Grimes is an adult who can make adult decisions," "I question some of those decisions," "Elon Musk sucks on a personal and professional level," "it's shitty to publicly speculate about the specific kinks of real people who have not invited such speculation," and "that kind of speculation happens most frequently and with most salivation to women"

and also the thought "there is an elon musk thread and it's not here"

aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Tuesday, 8 May 2018 19:06 (five years ago) link

lol yeah i mean obviously but it's still surprising & disappointing at some level.

lol no it isnt

people feel very connected with artists

fools

and Grimes is an eminent millennial artist,

what even

with a history of activism & advocating for liberal/leftist causes.

none of this is real

so intellectually yeah

a very low bar indeed for what intellectual is tbqh

, it's easy to say "who cares who she dates/who she's seen with,"

yes. yes it is

and even if you don't care that it makes her look like a hypocrite,

which u shouldnt even if u swallowed any iota of the public persona of a pop performer

it's just disorienting

arah come on now, disorienting?

, like one of those mr. krabs memes.

dont know this are they good

hi i didnt mean to indulge that creepy shit! i was simultaneously in another convo where someone was doing that "we need to PROTECT her" shit and i guess i got mad abt it here? it was dumb. i wish we could go back in time to when we were excited about LOONA + grimes u know? :(

F# A# (∞), Tuesday, 8 May 2018 19:26 (five years ago) link

this thread has always sucked

I guess that's part of why I'm so conflicted about that Blood Diamonds song. I dig it, but it's so sexually charged that it makes me question my motives for liking it and Grimes overall. Am I into the music, or am I just another dude crushing on the cute girl? And again, how can I even make a distinction?

― Evan R, Thursday, June 7, 2012 7:17 PM (five years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

I think the other thing is she has a little girl voice, so when she sings that "talk to me daddy" line, she's playing into some sort of icky fantasies

Visions is sexy too, of course, but its sexiness comes from her overall energy and intimacy and the romanticism and physicality in her lyrics. This is the first track I've heard where she seems to be going for a deliberate Lolita thing, so it just feels a little cheap and easy
