Awful awful awful!

"One woman just added a feminist twist to the lyrics of a Drake hit, and it's pretty damn awesome. On Oct. 3, 27-year-old Javetta Laster rewrote the lyrics to "Hotline Bling" in a Facebook post. Her new words give the song, which was originally released this past July and got a much-discussed video full of (not so fresh) dance moves just this week, a distinctively feminist bent. "

Okay so insulting the person is fine ala "not so fresh dance moves". That paragraph is followed by a gif intended to mock the dancing.

And the rewrites arent actually translations as they act like they are, but mostly assumptions that make no sense in the context of this one song....talking about stuff that has nothing to do with this song....why this is getting positive attention while hypocritically putting down the artist..jesus.

"Let's take another look at the two sets of lyrics. From Drake: Why you never alone? Why you always touching road? Used to always stay at home, be a good girl. You was in the zone, yeah. You should just be yourself. Right now, you're someone else.
 And Laster's spot-on "translation": You used to stay at home and be someone I saw fitting into the patriarchal expectations of women to be infantilized good "girls" which is some bizarre father/daughter husband/wife dynamic left over from women being considered adult children & property."

Nothing spot on about that...the entire thing is a bunch of assumptions. And bringing something in that has nothing to do with anything in this context. Patriarchal society!? Seriously... #faux_feminism #feminism #hypocrisy #butthurt #toread #pub

How many of the 300 likes and the dozen replies block ads or other similar tactics that are also against the terms of service and many times are also hurting individual people if these people are okay not fully paying big corporations? How is that not completely hypocritical? No less for shaming someone else for attempting to do what you actually already do. #hypocrisy #i_am_benevolent_pattern #holier_than_thou_pattern #patterns_sensitive_about_their_shit_as_if_its_so_obviously_right #patterns_the_cult_of_the_amateur #$patterns #pub

all reddit search has is pro shit about the movie. found only one post against it and half the comments in that were saying go watch the film as a moral virtue. Yet so many of the conservative headlines and posts like this paint it like the mainstream is actively against the film. No one seems to care about the film at all. The based on true story stuff also seems weak as Abby Johnson story has many holes facts go against. “When Planned Parenthood tried to silence” lol they did not #conservatives_eh #hypocrisy #patterns_victimhood #pub

* People believe that essays, books, etc. should be pirateable * People believe that business software shouldn't be pirateable because software engineers need to make money. You'll usually be downvoted if you suggest this on, say, a Jetbrains release or something. All this taken together, to me, provides some amount of evidence to me that this stuff is just characteristic of the kinds of employment that most people on this forum have, rather than some sort of philosophical position people have on this issue. Hope this saves you some time in discussion. #hypocrisy #holier_than_thou_pattern #tech #$patterns #group_think #pirating #pub

classic hypocrisy. his ads are fine but all the other blocked ads are bad and potentially malware? Either mass ad blocking without care of malware is wrong or it isn’t. #patterns_insufferable_tech_douches* #patterns_my_side_is_so_obviously_right_let_me_use_fallacies_and_insults_too #hypocrisy #ad_blocking #pub
