tiktok objectively sucks in a lot of ways but I will admit that getting to witness thousands of allegedly heterosexual young women have an identity crisis in real time after attending Olivia Rodrigo's Guts tour is both a) not something I'm seeing on tumblr and b) an absolutely magical experience
ok so, the Guts World Tour Heterosexuality Crisis (tm). There's basically three key elements here.
First off: Olivia Rodrigo. You guys know Olivia Rodrigo right? Drivers License, Vampire, Good 4 U, Brutal: tons of high-charting hits. Easily one of the biggest pop stars in the world right now. Olivia is a former Disney Channel star. To this day, a lot of her diehard fans are people who've been following her since her Disney Channel days. So a significant percentage of her fanbase are people who were watching the disney channel in the year of our lord Two Thousand And Also Nineteen - i.e. pre-teen to teenage girls who are possibly a tad sheltered.
Since leaving The Mouse behind, Olivia's musical output has not exactly been Disney Appropriate, but you might not immediately know that if you haven't listened to the albums. Olivia isn't like Miley Cyrus where she hit 18 and immediately needed to let everyone know she FUCKS. Being "No Longer Kid Friendly" isn't part of her branding. So a lot of parents, even the more conservative ones, are still willing to take their daughters to an Olivia Rodrigo concert even as her content has gotten more mature since her High School Musical days.
The third component of this situation is Chappell Roan. During her rise to pop stardom, Olivia has worked hand-in-hand with a guy named Dan Nigro (don't worry it's pronounced "NYE-grow"). He's handled production on both of her albums and has gotten some pretty significant critical acclaim for his work. Well it just so happens that Dan's other main partner in crime when it comes to pop music is Chappell Roan- a campy, bisexual singer-songwriter who's been on the come up over the past year after a couple big tiktok hits and a sold-out headlining tour. This connection has given Chappell the opportunity to open for Olivia on the first leg of her world tour this year, which is an interesting choice because Chappell Roan is very decidedly not kid friendly. Her music is very overtly sexual and very, very overtly gay.
I give you all this background so that I can properly set up the absolute perfect storm of lesbian awakenings that is Olivia packing entire arenas full of sheltered teenage girls only to hit them right out the gate with a self-described Drag Queen singing about getting eaten out in the passengers seat and developing a big gay crush on your bff, dropping lines like "I heard you like magic? I got a wand and a rabbit!" and doing what I could only describe as "bouncing and moaning on it" during the bridge for My Kink is Karma. I really cannot overemphasize how funny this is as a big fan of Chappell - her solo concerts are gatherings of every femme lesbian in a 30 mile radius. She was sapphic tiktok's best kept secret. Olivia exposing her audience of normies to her is sending a lot of them into a full-on crisis of sexuality. The goddamn Disney Channel girlies are being forced to ponder kissing other girls it has never been more joever for heterosexual women than it is right now

Hey all, you know how internet searches suck now? When the results are awful, full-of-AI, death-of-the-internet levels of bad?
Start appending date constraints to your searches - "before:2023".
My results have gone from 90% AI bullshit to ~60% usable - which frankly at this point is a huge improvement.
giving even a single shit abt covid will actually make u feel fucking crazy sometimes lol
“during the pandemic-” “back when covid was-” it is still here. covid is still here and it still kills people and it still disables people and it does so at an incredibly fast rate because nobody fucking cares anymore and nobody wants to acknowledge it anymore but how can you just ignore it isnt anyone else seeing this . the fucking measles is back bc everyones immune systems are fucked from repeated covid infectons because no one fucking cares anymore. why dont people care.
why is the vast majority of society pretending the pandemic is either completely over or never happened What the fuck is going on !!!!!!!! what the fuck is ggoing on like actually. i feel crazy. How are you going to ignore The fucking plague thats killed and disabled millions. can anyone fucking see this. Oh my god.
went to bed because i was kind of losing it . woke up and im still mad just in a calmer and more actionable way . i think part of what upsets me so much is that it feels like gaslighting. it straight up feels like gaslighting. in the genuine, non-meme sense of the word. the cdc stopped tracking cases and then told us the pandemic was over. doctors don't wear masks and get all offended if you ask them to. grown adults don't cover their coughs. this isn't normal. none of this is normal. society & the cdc will try and tell you it's normal and it's not. and it feels like you're fucking crazy sometimes but you're not. the pandemic is real, it is ongoing, it is killing & disabling millions of people, and you're not crazy for still caring .

In the wake of this year's oscars, I propose new rule that would be applicable for all awards (cinema and music and all fields bc we are all sick of same people always winning everything):
You can win certain award only once.
After that, you go down in history, giving space to other talents to get rightfully recognised as well.
