That can’t be real

 

wow

just wow

 

Been a while since the last non-ironic "AbsolutePUNK" post

Didn't read the rest yet I just assume it's bad

 

Okay, I get the picture. Deleting.

 

Man

 

Lol

 

Yikes

 

FUCK I didn’t finish reading yet

 

Damn wish I screenshot it now

 

You’re braver than the troops for trying to make it all the way through it

 

Nothing was as bad as the AbsolutePUNK line, but it was certainly misguided

 

The line about connecting more with music made by white people definitely gives that competition.

 

honestly why is this news

 

AP memories just came flooding back

 

It was misguided. Truly sorry.

 

We all have growing to do in different ways, I hope you recognize why we reacted the way we did and evaluate how you can best grow from that

 

quit picking on Lucas, they're having a difficult time on this site.

for one they were excited to read through 10 pages of calimari discussion only to be disappointed.

 

Thank you. If this doesn’t fix everything, I don’t know what does.

 

that thread disappointed everyone.

 

no, only unsexy people

 

I missed out on something here lol

 

I was trying to offer a counterpoint as to why there wasn’t much diversity on the year-end list and in attempting to justify the lack of diversity it came across as very tone-deaf (and unflattering to the site honestly) and if I was thinking at all before I posted it I wouldn’t have done so.

There was a legit point I was trying to make, that it’s okay (and normal) to have been most moved by music that falls within your demographic, and I was trying to show grace to the contributors on this site after some of the critiques in here, but I think I accidentally made the point that we should be ambivalent about diversity in our music circles and in the music we consume, and that we’re by nature always going to be most moved by art within our own demographic (which is untrue and potentially very troubling).

So basically, in an attempt to spark helpful discussion I really didn’t help anyone. It was a stupid post.

 

It's okay, I think a lot of people work through that same thought process.

 

if it helps, this one is a very good post!

 

Also, major ups to you for realizing it could have all been more tactful. 99% of people online, or anywhere in life, will make some kind of mistake and never walk back on it out of pride. So kudos to you, my friend.
