Gonna make a ruling on this one.
Anyone saying anything negative about Dolly is a terrible person.
It’s a conundrum. I want to upvoter Dolly, because she was incredible. I want to downvote news of her passing, because it makes me sad
The only way to win is to not play. No voting at all.
I don’t do it but I “get” it.
For the last oh I don’t know- ever? Americans don’t give a shit about anything until a celebrity dies, and days later they no longer give a fuck.
When I was in my 20s (dating myself here- old man shouts at clouds) and Michael Jackson died, the record store I worked at sold out of every Jackson album in about 45 minutes- as if no person had ever listened to their music before. It’s fake- performance art of the public. We reordered 10 times our normal stock amount and by the time it came in 2 or so days later, nobody gave a shit any more and we had to send most of it back.
The average American is so dumb- like goldfish. We’ve all heard the joke right? Maybe a 3 second memory? If it’s not in the headlines TODAY, it doesn’t exist to most people. It all just feels so disingenuous and fake. It feels as if most people’s reaction is just performance.
Are you not aware of “being reminded of something” or “appreciation”
It does come off as a kind of fake grief. I also block all the wholesome meme communities, so it’s annoying to see the regular meme comms get flooded with “remember when (celebrity) did this and showed everyone how good of a person they are”.
Don’t really see the point in downvoting it but it definitely makes me roll my eyes.
But then you never see the “remember when John Brown burned down the slavers” memes
What is the picture from?
Any celebrity with radio silence on the genocide of our time deserves zero respect. RIPBOZO.
