OTOH they’re a world famous band, which gives much more exposure to the problem. I’m from France and I clicked the post because I know Paramore, I’d have ignored it otherwise.
Well I do feel where you are coming from, I didn’t know Allison Russell before this article, (Although I’m listening to her winning album now and super in to it!) Ain’t nothing wrong with the headline, more the content of the article. Which is why that variety article linked is better since it actually focuses more on Allison then near exclusively on Paramore.
Really all I’m doing is pointing out the white savior complex is still alive. Hayley Williams did nothing wrong, this is just flawed media narrative.
I disagree that this is an example of the white savior complex. It’s a well-known band pointing out bigotry. It wouldn’t get any attention if it didn’t come from a well-known band and Paramore is the one most relevant to speak up in this instance.
This is simply an example of somebody doing the right thing, and they happen to be cishet.

Exactly, I mean that was my point, they did the right thing but not exactly an exemplary over the top thing. I just dislike that this article was about Paramore more than Allison. But it’s whatever, we all agree on what’s important nuisance of it all. I think this article does have flaws, but we can disagree on minituia that I don’t really wanna litigate much further.
Above all, and as always, go fuck yourself Tennessee. More like… Two-at-best-nnessee
