mostly appreciate the presence of the rat-adj crowd on here but sometimes they can't help but completely miss the point of a certain discourse (or they do a strawman and claim that the weakest or most ridiculous takes are best representation of the entire discussion) and then proceed to do the usual smug and superior act and try and dismiss the whole thing as stupid and it's super frustrating and disappointing

#like if you really don't understand that this discussion is about how the racialization of cultural products impacts how they are received #then idk what to tell u ur kind of being purposefully obtuse and ignorant #no one is OBLIGATED to be a fan of any particular work or type of art but the point of this discourse is to call attention to the fact #that when it comes to taste our judgments are not neutral or objective but rather rooted in social identity and meaning #that's like sociology 101 man i literally took that quote from the menswear guy's blog #poast #delete later
