This post was originally a link of my saved video of this TikTok (CW: gross body-shaming, mean, misinformation) diss track that I deleted. I apologize for overlooking the ugliness of this content, and I don’t condone most of what was said in the video, only certain elements I agreed with. I appreciate the criticism and feedback.
I’ll keep this up in this state because I believe there is some worthwhile discussion here. If the mods want me to delete this or remove the TikTok link for reference, I am willing to do so.
Sure that’s a more substantive critique then this video presents. This video wreaks of terminally online smarmy “fell for it” energy. Do some people just enjoy laying in the grass waiting to pounce on subjects like this? Also, the first half of this video is strictly going after Welles appearance? Let’s be real, this is a pretty poor delivery mechanism for the message.
I don’t want to just be a shitter here, and I feel that I am doing that. What I’ll say is, A) yeah the guy wants to make money B) Yeah he’s a coward for putting out that weak ass kirk song C) his “message” (if he even has a coherent one) is still worth supporting if only because its like a foot in the door. You can use it as a means of bonding and relating to people who could be moved to the left of his perspective.
Developments like the popularity of Welles should be viewed as an opportunity. Instead it would seem some people would rather use these developments as a cudgel to bonk over the heads of people growing in class conciseness.
Maybe I should have created a written discussion topic than linking this video.
Hey it’s all good. Discussion is happening! Diss tracks are real hit or miss. The track might not be hitting for me but the conversation is!
