Seems like she got a lot more than misogynist rage though. Seems like a lot of people are mad at her for mocking their culture and the like. If it really is for research then I hope she has the depth and presence to understand and include this.
"It's supposed to be shit" is and will almost always be a bullshit excuse in my eyes. It's on par with "it's just a prank, bro" and "it's a social experiment." Performance art is brilliant and fantastic and doing something badly isn't that, it's just lazy.
You're not deconstructing anything by doing it badly, you're just doing it badly. If all your "deconstruction" is doing is asking "what is [concept] really?"
Then you're a boring person asking boring questions. Or at least 9 times outta 10 it's boring, because I do love the ship of Theseus.
I think that “it’s supposed to be shit” can be good when it comes from an artist that has the ability to do it well. No idea if this is the case for Raygun, but it’d be interesting to me if she had proven her chops elsewhere then decided to put on a horrible act.
I didn't mean to imply that she was. The subject and surrounding discussion made me think of this, but I can see how the quotation marks make it seem like I'm citing her arguments
In 2019, I bought a cheap guitar at a pawn shop. Over the course of the following year, I swapped out the neck, the tuners, the pickups, the controls, the jack, and the bridge. Is it still the same guitar?
I always have an issue with the use of the words "the same" because it kinda ruins it for me, because like it objectively isn't "the same" it's the guitar with some things changed about it.
Is it the guitar you picked up at a pawn shop though? Yeah it is. It is still the guitar
after seeing her paper on how the ioc and big brands are taking over breakdancing and stuff and then seeing her performances before the olympics where she is actualy p good at breakdancing i gotta say im in the camp that thinks this is a form of protest shes doing to deligitimize olympics breakdancing and the corporatization of it
I am honestly so pissed that this clown got so much attention. I've literally been waiting years for breaking to get into the olympics and she just turned the event into a low quality meme.
