    Lizzo doesn't even know that it's happening with Beyonce right now, if you need any additional indication that these people are not perpetually online like us

     
  2. Mr. Fantastic over here with that stretch.

    Online enough to screenshot a trending topic to celebrate (with laugh emoji fwiw) being associated with a personal hero = proof of being so-not-online that the post means she's ignorant to why the trending topic exists?

  3. I'm sorry, but there is almost no way she would post that if she knew why it was trending. She literally changed her album because of the issue, it makes no sense for her to betray that unless she is the densest person on the planet (and considering her response to the initial complaint, she seems relatively self-aware).

    I am extremely online and while I saw the Lizzo thing trending on Twitter, I have only seen the Beyonce thing in this forum and on Pitchfork. I really think y'all are overestimating how online some people are or choose to be

    She posted because she thinks they have the most trending new albums... do you not understand that?

    Gonna need more context to that photo, but it's definitely not new.

    I recognize Hayley's face, and the words "Hayley Williams." All other people and words, I do not understand.

    I have no idea if this provides any context since Hayley deleted her account. But it would make sense that she would have no clue who this guy is or the hand signal.

    Yeah 0% chance she was aware of who he actually is

    Not trying to invent ways they got picture together, but BA was involved with Warner Bros. Records, Warped Tour and Buzzfeed, it would have been easy for him to worm his way into a pic. Either way, no reason to believe that anyone in Paramore knew who he was/wanted a pic with him. Every action they've made is in direct opposition to what he stands for and believes.

    I think if that photo had been taken after August 12, 2017, I would've been more concerned about it. But because it's from February 2017, when BA wasn't known for what he is today (at least in the general public; dude's been scummy for as long as I've lived in this city) I think it's okay to give Hayley a pass for this. It would not surprise me in the least if she didn't know who he was then.

    Any person can pay for a photo and throw up whatever they want, I don’t think this is an accountability issue.

    deleted the post, i didn't realize how old it was so it's not really worth posting.

    Just wanted to quote this with something I saw from pictures at the festival this year. It really does suck how much they trivialize being sad and make it out to be this cool trendy aesthetic instead of something that A LOT of people go through and don’t want to remember. In this current era, with mental health being such an important topic, did no one in the drawing room stop and think that maybe making a festival around the aesthetic of being sad but make it trendy was a bad idea?

    I don't think they even thought about it, really. I mean, obviously, but I think they were thinking more of a descriptor for the music and not meant as a commentary on their fans or fans of that music, nor as a way to make it trendy or popular. My first take reading that name is that it's a joke on the kind of music the bands make.

    But I dunno, as someone who deals with anxiety and depression himself, I honestly personally wouldn't have thought twice about the name. That's not to discount anyone else's take, clearly mileage varies when it comes to this stuff.

    I don’t think the band is canceled based off the response from people I’ve seen. Just the individual himself will likely not be part of the reunion
