I assume that Yang was participating in a humorous gag rather than being sincere in this sketch, which I am being told is something that happens on SNL sometimes.

Is this seriously “teasing” a potential sexual assault (or worse) to get views on a documentary? Cause that’s fucking disgusting.

Really admirable of them to stop before their music took a huge drop off in quality or they made a song with BTS or something.

What?Dude FEMA has been down there since before the storm, there are dozens and dozens of search and rescue teams out in the field working around the clock, aid organizations have been dispatched with food and water for all, and the fed has promised/released funds as requested and needed.Of note is that the Republican governor of Georgia has spoken highly of Biden's support, as have other local Republican officials.I don't like my tax dollars going to support the death of innocents any more than you do, but to suggest the government has abandoned people in the South is disingenuous.

I assure you as someone intimately close to the situation that legal action would never have occurred if Stone hadn’t spent several months harassing people adjacent to Mo in the Portland music scene after being enabled by clowns who will believe the ramblings of a total stranger. Stone harassed numerous trans women, claimed a game store owner in town was running “an incest cult”, threatened MY FUCKING FAMILY with a gun, and declared their intent to enact “divine justice” against anyone who ever wronged them. Stone is a deeply unhealthy, violent person with virtually no allies in their own scene. All support has come from outsiders with no context and a penchant for virtue signaling. Take a walk.

I'd argue its more obvious that the ways we treat pop stars has becoming undeniably disgusting and hurtful to the musicians their fans claim to support. Whether its Taylor Swift, Chappell Roan, BTS, or any other famous musician, fandoms NEED to be taken to task and held accountable for the ways they actively harm musicians, and the music they supposedly love, through this needling and incessant urge to depersonalize musicians to fit their own needs. Chappell Roan speaking up about Kamala Harris, or the woes of fandom, aren't signs that she's weak or not cut out; they're signs that being a pop star has become untenable for anybody.
