Yeah I... don't know what happened here lol. Enjoy~

> > I promise you can be queer and like a straight artist. I really do promise, you’re not going to be put to death for it.

>well, it's plenty evident that "you're not going to be", what's in question is "should you be"

the... 'inciting incident' (mods: I'm elsewhere in the thread but stayed out of this subthread, pls no kill!)

>>> Nor should you be! I don’t think anybody should even hold that much care towards the matter , honestly

>> Wow, okay, didn't expect to be told "people shouldn't care about lgbt representation" on a tumbler sub, but ok

> It's like you're reading reddit from a different universe and posting your replies in this one

>>>Do they??? I've never based my music tastes on that. Only on whether I like the music lmao

>>Then i invite you to analise what sexuality and gender the artists you tend to "subjectively like" usually have. I did that once after noticing i had only listened to straight male artists for an entire day and that really helped me grow as a person.

>Is this personal growth in the room with us now?

---

>> That's literally never been true in either of our lifetimes, not even slightly [...] David Bowie, Elton John, Freddie Mercury, just to name some old examples. I could keep going for a long time

> None of the people you listed are more popular than Michael Jackson

Hee-hee!

>>>>>People keep bringing this up, so ill clarify, even though it is pointless. While i did talk about queer people specifically, i really meant everyone that chooses cishet alternatives over queer artists, nor did i actually mean actual , maybe a tax that goes to the queer artists, something like that.

>>>>that's... no???? no no no?? we cannot unequally tax musical artists based on whether they've announced their sexuality to the world, wtf?

>>>No not the artists! The listeners!

>>so people will get taxed for listening to music based on the artist's sexuality?

> gender too

everything changed when the queer artists a'taxed

---

>>>But you don't check every artist you listen to on whether they're problematic or not, do you? Wouldn't you want to not support problematic artists by accident?

>>Why would you do that tho

> To support good causes against your own subjective biases. I know one self described homophobe who actively supports a trans establishment, more people should be like her

(moments later, from the same person)

> you are arguing like a jew

>> You really need to work on communicating your thoughts more effectively.

> I think they've done a fine job communicating their thoughts. They're just dumbass thoughts lmao
