bye internet <3

I’m just doing my job, but there is no reason to not want such powerful ideas to have a bigger platform. I can understand wanting to have a voice that’s unamplified, to speak directly to a specific community - that’s why I started a zine - but rejecting more visibility for this particular post is kind of antithetical to everything it is saying to begin with.

What Jenn said. I’m not saying it’s right, but an artist who posts something online and gets annoyed when it’s turned into news is kidding themselves somewhat. No-one can exist in an internet vacuum. You can’t start a debate and then run away from it. If you set fire to a scarecrow, people will be drawn in by the smoke and flames.
