i mean, yes you're not literally posting on someone's "i am outraged by this butthead" facebook post and saying "why are you posting this? take a nap." i get that.

i guess i'm just saying i don't get why people feel the need to announce online that other people are being too pc police online

do people ever do things that you personally don't understand why they do, but you don't object to them doing that thing?
the only thing i "object" to about grimes's tweet is what i believe is its hyperbole. but i don't object to her posting it. i just can't imagine myself doing the same thing.
i apologize for any misunderstanding. i'll leave the thread since this discussion is probably even more boring for everyone else as it is for me.
― I dunno. (amateurist), Wednesday, 15 October 2014 17:59 (nine years ago) link
yes, but i think it's ironic you claim not to understand why people would be hyperbolic on the internet when you describe grimes as one of those people on social media (who) feel it's their sworn duty to (often hyperbolically) police every instance of offensive language. like...that's hyperbole too.

if you had said "i don't understand people who feel like they have to put melted cheese on everything" i wouldn't have balked (or at least not as much, cheese is awesome) but in this case i think you're not being fair to people that are coming from a good place and often doing a lot of good

whoah, just checked out "Black Ballerina"
it's an Ariel Pink song in which the male protagonist is the hapless ingenue victim of rapacious strippers and pandering older touts- that's some A+ trolling served on a warm bed of Devo-meets-Cameo lite funk
not going to do him any favors re: allegations of misogyny
― the tune was space, Tuesday, 21 October 2014 05:19 (nine years ago) link
Ariel's an insane drug-addict. I don't think accusations of misogyny even register with someone like him.
― Cousin Slappy, Tuesday, 21 October 2014 05:53 (nine years ago) link
I mean, he's inspired by a guy who wrote a creeptastic love song about lusting after a 10yo girl that dares to be catchy. That boy ain't right.

lol @ "he's an insane addict, he's not right, he's a badman", is this a Christian parenting board??
Time to drop some truth bombs. Black Ballerina: fun. The spoken-word interlude: Classic AP skit, obviously trying to break taboos. The "misogynistic" outbursts and the contrived "beef" with Grimes: Convenient PR for his new album, and I don't think he doesn't register the hate towards him. It seems like people have been hating on him his whole career and he learned to roll along with it. (Strictly speaking about his public image, persona, work and whatnot here, I don't know how AP behaves in private, but for now I don't care.)
― DDD, Tuesday, 21 October 2014 10:28 (nine years ago) link
The song is ok I guess,But I prefer Serious Pink upon "humorous" Pink.
― nostormo, Tuesday, 21 October 2014 20:38 (nine years ago) link
I agree. I also prefer serious Pink. I also prefer serious Zappa over "humorous" Zappa.
I also prefer serious Prince over "sexy" Prince.

these days such hyperbole wouldn't surprise me if it was real, but I prob should've considered that possibility

If you said a month ago Ariel Pink was going to cause Grimes to self-ether I would have been like, no that won't happen.
Taken in by the levels of funk present in Black Ballerina.

Black Ballerina is about as funky as a John Deere commercial

Arial and Travis would go together like Chip and Dale - they're both talented artists and musicians who wear cowboy hats.

Pink was particularly irked that his criticism of Madonna had been deemed misogynistic, a charge that he has faced before. “Everybody’s a victim, except for small, white, nice guys who just want to make their moms proud and touch some boobies,” he said. His publicist gave up.
― I can't make my waterface turn into a *fart* (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 21 October 2014 22:57 (nine years ago) link
“I’ve been the next big thing for, like, ten years now,” Pink said. He wore an unbuttoned plaid shirt over a plunging V-neck, with splotches of red nail polish on both thumbs. “I feel really old.”
Conversations with Pink tend to veer off course. “I love pedophiles. And I love necrophiliacs,” he once told an interviewer, who had asked about neither. In the car, Pink began to explain his feelings of persecution while fingering a cigarette with one hand and scrolling Twitter with the other. “What if I committed suicide and tweeted, ‘Thank you, guys. You were right’?” he said, of Twitter’s mob mentality, which he then equated with the Hutu Power movement.
