guessing more secretly bi because he had a pretty good run MANY years ago on the smodcast about how if he were in a horrific accident and lost his dick, he somehow knew he’d still be a guy. it was too kevin smithy to send to terfs to convince them of anything but he made points.

i mean the guy in question was a 19 year old music student and this was probably the first time he’d had any real power in his life so it sure wasn’t much like the standards of an actual professional music label even if outwardly it may have appeared as such!

unfortunately this means to this day when people link OCR stuff they like, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth because i think about all of the perfectly good songs they rejected that never got the chance to be circulated more widely among fans

this is another thing in my life that i clearly waited 15 years to post because i didn’t want to start shit at the time. i think all the people who were judges then have since left the site so this no longer matters. but also whatever i will fight any of them.

meanwhile I’m like… why would you change the key? that’s the key the song is in. that makes no fucking sense whatsoever

and he expected me as a fellow musician to be cool with making fun of extremely good remixes they had rejected for stupid reasons. one of their rules was they thought you should change the key of the song for a remix. why? essentially only bc it indicated more skill. incredibly bizarre and stupid.

i really hope it’s not like that anymore but that experience soured me on it SO fucking hard. they wanted the site to be cool and exclusive so they would reject shitloads of really good remixes so … there wouldn’t be too many? so it would seem more cool to get in? it was ludicrous.

thinking about the time period circa 2009 when i was frenemies with an OCRemix judge and went from thinking the site was kinda cool to realizing it was complete BS. he would play me songs they rejected and make fun of them and a lot of them would be wonderful. fan website of petty smalltime tyrants

not sure about this. people follow self-help authors on social media all the time, not to mention cultural critics with their own takes on things that inform and challenge and so on. i'm not sure if people go to social media to NOT be challenged. if anything some people seem to seek it out...?

if you don't have time to listen, basically the research suggests that getting a lot of responses on social media can make you more 'entrenched' in the opinion you already held, even if it was kinda loosely held before. i feel like i've *felt* this happen to me. scary! don't care for it!

it's great for there to be really simplistic, 101 level antifascist fiction but i literally don't get why people would be screaming that they absolutely will not engage with anything that is 102 level. like.... ok? some of us have graduated from middle school

ideally stuff like andor or magneto speechifying in the x-men 97 premiere eps would be a gateway drug to non-disney artists making far more radical work but instead it's the stuff people watch and they stop there AND for some reason get mad at you for telling them not to stop there

it's really annoying that any time something else terrible happens in the US due to our government/whatever, there are people who are in a rush to be like "why are you surprised???" as though it's a contest to be the most jaded possible person about how terrible all of our lives are. don't do this

i will say it took a weirdly long time. i used to make a habit of googling it every couple of years. i'm not sure when it happened but i do know that as of today, those articles are gone and have a "did not meet our editorial standards" message in their place

honestly, after gamergate (and the general consensus among people who chose to still work in games journalism post-gamergate), i think it was probably a pretty internally popular editorial decision to make, but idk, i don't work there. it might have been really hard to do. i hope it wasn't
