SympathysSilhouette

I have talked about this many times on here. It's one of the things that bothers me about the body positivity movement. I can agree with them that people shouldn't be made to feel shitty about how they look. That is fine, kindness is pretty much what we should all aspire to. Where they lose me is the fact that I can no longer publicly say that being obese is very bad for your health... Apparently that is also considered an "aggression" on overweight people? 😕 But then if you exhaustively apply that same logic to everything, I can no longer tell smokers that smoking is bad for them, or people who drink excessively that alcohol is bad for them, ... Because that is also an "aggression" then? Also, that map is super-shocking. So there are barely any places in the U.S. where the amount of obese people is below 25%?

He doesn't want to censor Rogan, he just doesn't want to share a platform with him. I don't care about Rogan either, I just think Young not wanting to be on Spotify any more because he does not like being associated with Rogan is valid. Let me put it this way, lets say that Rogan started each and every one of his podcasts by saying "Fuck Neil Young!". Would Young still not have the right to have his music pulled from Spotify? He has to stay on there regardless? Young is no idiot, he knows he hasn't got the clout to truly get Rogan off Spotify. I'm pretty sure that Rogan has an ironclad contract, which means that if they throw him off their platform, he will likely still be entitled to most or all of his 100 million dollar deal. Kind of like how Megyn Kelly walked away with most of the money in her 60+ million dollar deal with MSNBC, after they pulled the plug on her show after only a few months.

In practical terms I don't get why people are mad at Mitchel & Young. Rogan won! And he was always going to win. They gave him a 100 million dollar deal. Pulling the plug on his podcast would have serious financial implications. A few old rockers taking their content off the platform is something that barely matters in comparison.

This is a very strange take. People have freedom which means they also have the right to not be associated with certain companies or individuals. Considering that Spotify paid him crazy money and thus he constitutes a serious investment for them, they aren't going to boot Rogan off their platform. Or it would take an artist of the current stature of Taylor Swift to threaten to pull her content. Which isn't going to happen. But I don't see the issue if some people don't want to share a platform with Rogan. A lot of the people who supposedly love freedom of expression are of the "freedom for me, not for thee" persuasion. Rogan broadcasting anti-vax messages and Young & Mitchell not wanting to be associated with Spotify any more because of it are two expressions of an opinion. But apparently only one of those is allowed by the freedom of speech champions.

Everything about that picture is weird... Like even if it was an outtake, you would consider it a terrible outtake. This is meant to create excitement for the issue?

Possibly, I didn't do it, would have to check with the rest of the staff.

All cute in their own way but I think Iris is cuter.

She looks like a very tall drink of water in some of those snaps, I was surprised to see her official height at just 1m72!

It is weird to like Rage and not their politics, since they are very much intertwined.

Really been enjoying this show a lot. Though I did think episode five was the weakest so far. Still good! But not as good as the first four imho.

Possibly! But many of her peers seem less discrete about their boyfriends! In any case, I don't want to keep up this treadjack any longer! Thanks for the info, everyone.

Thanks for the info! Wasn't aware of either of those two relationships.

I'm kind of serious, I'm not overly interested in models' love lives, but with most of the models on BZ, you cannot help notice the occasional mention of a boyfriend, or the guy showing up on their social media. But I can't recall ever seeing a dude openly linked to Mella? Which I guess means she is very private about her love life (which is understandable). But it stands out compared to most of her peers.

I kind of thought it would have been hard for her to return anyway. She burned a lot of bridges. So this is just her accepting the inevitable?

Is Effy's chest natural? Because it's giving off a lot of "fake" vibes in these two shots.

Who is she dating? Seems she is pretty discrete about her love life? I don't recall ever seeing a lot of details about her boyfriends.

Who is she? She is very cute!

I think Peter Dinklage is entitled to his opinion and to express that opinion publicly? Whatever happened to "diversity of thought". I think his objection is not to the cast of little people in those roles but to how they have historically been portrayed in Hollywood.

This video clip was directed by Michael Moore... So this is who they have always been. I've been a Rage fan since I was 13-14, I don't think their stance on this is inconsistent with their past. Quite the opposite.

Neil Young is a polio survivor. He did not want to share a space with someone broadcasting an anti-vax message. He made Spotify choose between him and Rogan and they chose Rogan. I don't see the huge problem here if you are someone who loves Rogan and now hates Young. Seems like it panned out how you'd want it to pan out! Seems to me that Neil Young has as much right as anyone else to decide which platforms his music is hosted on.

What about being anti-establishment means you also have to be anti-science? 😕

How the actual fuck are people surprised that Rage is left-leaning? Have you ever listened to their lyrics? Take notice of their imagery? They shot a fucking music video with Michael Moore! "I cannot believe a band whose logo is based on Zapatistas is left-wing!" = Apparently a real thing people are saying in 2022!

Her body is unreal.

Christen looks better like this! I didn't like it when she had lost a tiny bit too much weight.

I like the directors (Adil El Arbi & Bilall Falah)
