As always, I think Hollywood loves nothing more than patting itself on the back for doing the bare minimum. Remember when you had the likes of Ryan Gosling wearing Save Darfur t-shirts. They love to be seen 'doing their bit,' but it rarely leaves style for substance (omg, unintentional pun.)
Chappell Roan is one who is actively speaking out against the genocide in Palestine, and questioned both political parties in the recent election, and the media loves to highlight her mental health issues in attempts to delegitimize her valid arguments. She's on the wrong side of the line as far as the establishment is concerned.. it's okay to be a feminist but when you shouldn't get into the nitty gritty of icky issues like forced labour making our clothes, the epidemic of violence against women and girls and the manosphere.
Exaaaactly that; nothing against Demi (I’m sure she’s a great gal) but she isn’t a feminist hero for winning an award. At the end of the day she is still a cis, white woman who has a multitude of privileges.
Great punning 👏🏼
Great point on Chappell Roan - she gets annihilated in the press and on social media yet she is one of very few who are willing to use their platforms for positive action. She speaks about so many important issues yet the media choose to focus anything but, effectively censoring her.
