Comment on watching one of my favorite singers wither away right before our eyes is heartbreaking
idiomaddict@lemmy.world 20 hours agoUp to 2020 looks like becoming an adult and losing kid cheeks to me. I won’t comment on 2021, because yikes, and 2023 looks like she’s too thin or got work done. More recent pictures make it more obvious that she’s getting thinner and thinner though.

2018 was the red flag. She could be accused of masking as Hispanic before, but that could be explained by a change in diet and a summer tan. 2018 is the hard, The Emperor Has No Cloth moment where everyone knew something was wrong, but wouldn’t say anything to her face about it.

Yeah, 2018 is fucked up and here likely indicates some sort of psychological issue, but there’s a long tradition of white people exploiting other people’s cultures for financial gain. It’s not an automatic red flag for mental illness for me in general.

Yeah it’s sad that she has issues and that’s what the post is about, but have you heard about how “white people” are always exploiting everyone’s else’s “culture”?
For financial gain no less?

I didn’t say always, but there is a long history of it. Iggy Azalea is a somewhat controversial example, Iron Eyes Cody is an uncontroversial one, and Asa Carter is an infuriating one.
The term “blackface” originated from the practice of white people impersonating black people for minstrel shows in the 1860s, for an old example.
