[@codysmith3853]

i also think another reason why nicki has been losing support is the fact that she has been consistently supporting sex offenders, and considering her fanbase largely consists of young women, it's hardly any wonder that they would be turned off by that

[@rikkisan1]

I'm honestly surprised she hasn't really come out and said anything about the people she's hanging out with...

[@sleepy-peepy]

Can confirm as a former “Barb”. That also pretty directly explains why Tekashi hasn’t been “cancelled”. Unlike Nicki, he’s cultivated a community of people who don’t actually care about an artists character and reputation, the way she has. Nicki’s fans feel connected to her personally. So watching her take a big old doodoo on us by being all buddy-buddy with people who remind us of our own abusers has led a lot of us to withdraw our support 🙃

[@CloverLovesTT]

didn’t she literally marry a sex offender, too? she definitely dated him and tried to say he’d “changed”.

[@NinjaInConverse]

Also her own brother has been accused of sexually abusing his step daughter and that's been unjustly barely talked about in the press. Maybe she's been paying news outlets off to not talk about it, or they've been too preoccupied with Trump and the pandemic, I don't know. But she posted his bail and has been very supportive of him.

Macklemore was well-intentioned if nothing else, but in hindsight, I kinda get the vibe from him that some might've gotten from Arrested Development 20 years earlier - really more 'feel good' music that (WHITE) audiences saw as an escape from the rising trap scene of '12 and '13. The proof of that is in how despite radio pushes for two of his 2017 singles ("Glorious" & "Good Old Days"), those songs did not really go places.

[@crazyluigi6664]

[@owltreewitch]

Damn, I miss Macklemore... I still don't get why he had to go away. He never struck me as a poser, if anything, he was always sincere. His songs were fun and he was genuinely talented. But I guess we can't have nice things, so edgy nonsense from garbage humans is the way to go.

I don’t think Manson is a great comparison, though. For one, Manson was pretty smart where 6ix9ine clearly isn’t. For another, the former’s songs are decent for the most part, and sometimes good, while the latter isn’t. Finally, the whole Columbine outrage actually helped to cut down Manson (it was also blamed on Eminem, and other edgy dudes. Really, a better comparison would be Limp Bizkit, with him as the modern day Durst.

[@Painocus]

Also his genres of music isn't really popular in the mainstream anymore (at-least in the US). Plus his style had a noticable shift towards a less cathchy or hit-friendly lowkey rock, blues and post-punk inspired sound. Also his albums still chart well (last few have reached around #8 on Billboard and have topped the Hard Rock charts), not sure why Todd acts like he had disappeared into obscurity.

Cancelling has an inversely proportional relationship to guilt. It gets easier to cancel people the less they deserve it.

[@nomobobby]

I think the problem is not everyone holds the same standards. As much as I would love to this clown get thrown out for one conviction or another he's gotten already, people like the threatening tone too much for that. They are not going to help 'cancel' him, there just going to blast it even louder to p*ss off his "haters" and enjoy the show while it lasts. You can't effectually cancel people by just screaming how terrible they are. Especially when the artist leans into it. The best you can do is ignore it and don't let it bother you. I saw the same story play out with Chris Brown, and we're likely going to see the same here. Namely no one gets "cancelled" until their hour in the spotlight dies, and that only happens when they stop pleasing the fans or they move on to someone else. Which is why Mackle is no more and Iggy got thrown out radio instead of this trash. Don't dance and rap for the public well enough and you're getting thrown out of the same revolving door you entered.

Todd in the Shadows uploading feels extremely eventful nowadays

[@Dreigonix]

6ix9ine does not remind me of Marilyn Manson- no, he’s more like BrokeNCYDE: loud, gross, utterly musically inept, and devoid of any real dark edge. Or maybe Dahvie Vanity, considering the rainbows and child molestation. Zillakami does everything 6ix9ine does a million times better, with his nightmarish, surreal brand of edge-rap, which makes sense considering 6ix9ine piggybacked off Zilla for years and then tried to pretend he never existed and take all the credit for himself. Look at Zilla and Tekashi’s music before and after Hellsing Station, and compare them.

I think he probably has watched Saw bc 69 likes films apparently he started his career being his friends video director/film guy (even tho he denied that there is plenty of undeniable evidence of it), the name of his first hit song in the states GUMMO probably comes from the independent film "gummo" from 1997. Since it was the first time he used a title like that for one of his songs and the title of the film is also in capital letters in most of the promotion for it and literally nothing is popular culture is named gummo apart from that film and that song.
