Your Fave is Problematic

I was thinking about you when the story first surfaced Thursday morning, because you've been a champion of native american music on here. There wasn't much information until the fifth estate aired that night, and even now with all the facts I still don't really know what to think about any of it. The spotlight can't be good though.

Yeah, I have a lot of messy feelings in a lot of directions about this.

Especially with that reaction/defense of her. I think there are lots of reasons to be legitimately angry at her over this, but being honest she probably did do more good for the tribe than harm over her life even though that doesn't excuse or in any way justify her actions. It's just especially hard to stomach that she was in a role model position, and while I think there are a lot of dumb uses of the concept of cultural appropriation, this is exactly what is meant by it in the most fucked up sense.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs accused of sex trafficking, rape of singer Cassie

I heard about this on the radio today. The fact that 2 other people corroborate parts of Cassandra’s story and just Ditty in general makes it both unsurprising but also upsetting that he victimized her for years. I also heard she was offered a ton of hush money that she refused to take.
