I don't think anyone is disagreeing with you, actually! You just kind of kicked into the thread wondering why we were talking about MIA and then proceeded to say pretty much what other people were already saying.

i sympathize w/ deej's fatigue and this is such a dumb thing esp while she was all dressed up as part of madonna's dumb cheerleader brigade but i don't think ppl ever agreed to or wanted to ignore her... her last album was more divisive than derided, i think

dying @ al
to be fair to MIA (lol) i am putting a bit of the lana del rey thinkpiece exhaustion on her for trying to whirl up some more absurd inanity

however you managed to make it so that im considered the #1 oj da juiceman stan when you were the one who enthused abt his career prospects so heavily i'll never understand
you can't say hilarious shit like i was going to say, 'we'll see how funny it is when your tumblr dashboard is overcome w/ people using this event as an excuse to write lazy essays abt ~what this means~ in terms of gender race culture economics & society' & then i realized who i was talking to and expect us all to just stand on the sidelines and say NOTHING, come on now

you're saying there's an essay in this?

the culture of long & unnecessary handwringing essays on tumblr is really a whole separate discussion

i'm more interested in whether everyone else felt embarrassed as i did for her to be dressed up in a cheerleader outfit and relegated to being one of madonna's back up dancers
the whole thing is bizarre and not in the way i guess she was intending?

Is it cool to like M.I.A.?
I would estimate that M.I.A. is in around the 95th percentile of "cool," which means that, basically, if you have to ask this question, yes, she is cool as far as you are concerned.
love this

the bonus is that the last paragraph of the article appears to be an email one of the reporters sent to his/her editor
Ben Bronfman and MIA have broken up. He told someone she lives in London and he and their son, Ikid are here. Another source told me she sometimes goes six weeks without seeing the little boy. Also, Ben was at the Schomburg in Harlem last week with what seemed to onlookers like a date,a very pretty black girl.
― max, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 15:00 (fourteen years ago)
Yeah, forgot to change "someone" to "Sources close to Ben say that"...
