I don't argue with people who are prejudiced against my immutable characteristics. Please find another way to vent your frustrations. Don't take it out on me.

Conflict had a good underlying point that most white cis hetero guys aren't under attack so they don't have as much skin in the game.

But then it was lost in a series of emotional responses.

It's easy to understand why Williams, a biofem, would be upset about new laws targeting abortions because she woke up one day with less rights than the day before.

I'd agree that denouncing DeSantis is appropriate.

You're doing a great job of proving my point bro

Conflict posted...
we have multiple straight white guys in this very topic who understand that and aren't posting dumb shit like you are, so clearly it's not a matter of "not being allowed opinions".

Right, it's a matter of having the 'wrong' opinion.

Nah, just that it's annoying when celebrities tell people how to vote. You're the one reading too much into it. It's not as personal as you're making it.

What is it about a celebrity that makes them having opinions more annoying? At what level of popularity is someone no longer allowed to share opinions?

Would you shut up if you got popular? Maybe we can help you.

They're always 'allowed,' but when it gets annoying is...when it gets annoying.

It's an art, not a science. Not all annoyances are created equally.

She has always come across as taking herself way too seriously. Plus some of the shit she did to her fellow band members was really low as well. Im sure shes a great musician but as a person shes questionable.

I have and I do. Turns out, a lot of songs aren't blatantly political statements about current events.

Nah, I like it here.

Why are you making up strawman arguments?
They don't have to be, but the notion that art shouldn't be used as an avenue for personal expression is asinine. "Shut up and art" is kind of missing the point.

And you have made it abundantly clear over the years that you care more about tone and the appearance of politeness more than literally anything.

No one was saying you can't have opinions because you're straight and white, but telling LGBTQ people "I respect your fight and would vote to help you, but I'm really fucking tired of hearing about this shit" implies that maybe you don't really care. Perhaps the fact that you are not one affected by the anti-LGBTQ politics allows you distance from politics that LGBTQ people are not afforded. Yelling "so you think I shouldn't have rights because I'm straight and white?!" doesn't dispel the implication.

What makes it annoying? You seem to be a big fan of opinions until people have them. Then it's "oh god stop telling me how to think!"

"If you do this thing, then I will not like you" is only telling you how to live if the speaker's approval is crucial to your life. How does Hayley Williams hating Ron Desantis encroach on your life? How often do you read about what she has to say on a topic?

Almost like that's what an opinion is. Pretty wild, huh?

It doesn't. It's just annoying to hear about. It's especially annoying when she's preaching to her own paying customers.

I think you're putting way more thought into my opinion than even I've put into it. The fact I find it annoying isn't really that big of a deal. Why take it personally as if I'm attacking you? I'm not.

I try to avoid hearing anything at all about celebrity political opinions. There's not a thing on the planet less interesting to me than that.

Why does the qualifier "celebrity" affect it?How much of a celebrity must a person be before their opinions become less interesting than if they were a rather irrelevant person? Funny how someone with the most worthless opinions on the planet is an expert on which opinions matter more or less than others.

Also, please address:

Ah the classic response of someone with bullshit opinions called out: "You're putting too much thought into it. It doesn't mean anything"

It formed in your head and you let made a decision to share it with others! Do letters and sounds just kind of drip out of your head and form something resembling language by accident?

Who is allowed to have opinions in support of LGBTQ people without being annoying to Gobstoppers? Tell us who can share their voice on this and how much they are allowed to say. We wouldn't want you to be too annoyed by politics, or rather the response to what people following your former homeboy have turned into politics.

The fuck are you talking about? My opinion about whether or not a celebrity is doing something annoying is just an opinion. Where did memories come into the discussion? Or are you trying to have an entire separate philosophical debate completely unprompted?

Try to stay on topic, please.
