How old is this hag? Why she singing songs for high school kids? That is Madonna level try hard .
Saweetie cant rap, but is gorgeous, she needs to stop going for the Cardi B look. She is almost like the Cassie of female rappers.

But her whole gimmick was based on cultural appropriation. She used , Cholo, Ska, punk ,Japanese, Jamaican, Hindi etc. etc. People haven’t gotten that already c . That’s what she does. I don’t care for her music or her fake plastic , persona but she is stylish .

FFS she is 51 years old leave her be. The people who need to be cancelled are these no talent humanities graduates who write these “think” pieces.

Yawn... Another weekend, another swarm of right wing trolls trying to start some "cancel culture" shit.. But, I thought this weekend was supposed to be all about faux Hunter Biden outrage?? Can you update your scripts from one weekend to another?

Gwen, you're a woman of 50, now grow up. There's nothing tragic about being 50, not unless you try to be 15.

R4, the only "retarded" one is you and your fellow conservatives.
They seem to think that anyone who gets criticized in any way has been "canceled"

I'm a big fan of Gwen, but she's on her third or fourth comeback right now. I thought the last No Doubt album was great and I still listen to it, but it didn't burn up the charts. It carried over the new wave and punk sound from their previous album but I guess 80s nostalgia is on the wane. She also did experiment with Blake and went in a different direction but her old fans didn't really want that either. I don't mind her going back the original well.

R7, I don't like Gwen or No Doubt but that article is some moron with a stick up her ass writing some BS article. She is someone who took a "cultural studies" course or two and decided she is against profit, money, working, etc. and decide to write this drivel.
by Anonymous | reply 18 | April 11, 2021 1:57 AM |
And that article wonders why Gwen hasn't been cancelled yet--maybe it's because her career stopped being relevant around 2007.

Gwen deserves to be canceled for many other reasons but not cultural appropriation. The only way we're going to achieve true racial equality is by dropping the whole idea of "race" and proprietary rights, and just acknowledging we are all one race: the human race. That and getting rid of money but that's a whole other issue. We also need to acknowledge that woke culture is in fact just the opposite side of the same coin as white supremacy...it is simply another form a fascism.

I was surprised she was canceled earlier for her asian girl thing.
Miranda is so much more interesting and talented, I love that she is a man eater.

This is what she has always been doing. She referred to herself as a chola in the past. She appropriated the hell out of Japanese culture in the 2000s and even acted as if four Asian women were her pets. This may be the least amount of cultural appropriation she’s ever engaged in.

Plus she wore a bindi as fashion and has worn a Native American headdress. Current Gwen is the least offensive Gwen ever probably. Cancel her because her music is shit not this shit.

She should be cancelled for her involvement with that fat pig Blake Shelton.

I haven't read all the comments on that article, but a lot of them, and so far? Not one person has defended the article, hehe.
Hopefully this nonsense is dying off. Most of the people in the comments are talking about the beauty of diversity too, while criticising this, which is lovely.
The bindi thing is annoying, because even I, someone who doesn't think much of Gwen to be honest, knows that the bindis were given to her by her boyfriend's mother who asked Gwen to wear them. What was she meant to do, chuck them back in her face and say: "begone you evil proponent of cultural appropriation!"?
There are SO many real problems in the world. We used to just roll our eyes at people doing things we thought silly, and move on. This appropriation stuff feels like an industry of outrage more than anything. And nothing ever gets improved.

R29, exactly. Cultural appropriation wasn't even a topic of deabte until like 8 years ago so why are we even arguing about Gwen Stefani being "problematic"?Her heydey ended like 15 years ago!

Gwen Stefani was a skate betty - she hung out with guys but was still feminine. What's the problem with that? The bindi bullshit. Who decides how enlightened people are, or if or can they can or should display where they are "on the path?" I mean, why are we judging this?? Shouldn't this be a good thing if people are open to learning? FFS Gwen Stefani is not fking Marilyn Manson mocking every tenet known to humanity.

Beyonce dressed in traditional Indian garb and a bindi in the video she did with Coldplay. Was that appropriation, or is that accusation only lobbed at people of European origin?

On DL? Yes.
Mostly it's the rightwing trolls who scream like widdle babies about "SJWs" and "cancel culture," and it works on DL because we have a lot of scared, cranky, old, gullible posters who are terrified of change.
I bring this up a lot but this thread I'm linking was truly, completely embarrassing. Dozens and dozens of people saying Trump would win because the "liberals" had "banned" Gone With the Wind, it was censored, it was fascism, we were all going to be rounded up into gulags now, etc. etc.
It didn't matter how many times you told them the movie was gone on one streaming service briefly, for a few days, to add a disclaimer, they absolutely would not believe it. They insisted it was mass SJW woke liberal Millennial censorship and we were all gonna die.
Pretty much gave up on trying to help DLers at that point.
