base talk Billie releasing 9 vinyl variants after environmental claim

[Saintlor]

Billie's stans failing to respond to any posts calling out her encouraging people to buy multiple vinyls in a bundle. I'm failing to see how she's not a hypocrite for wanting people to purchase multiple copies of the same album

Swifties and their lack of reading comprehension.  This woman is staying TRUE to what she said and not switching things around for money like some people do.

Totally!

 

She is selling those vinyl at such a low price, it is cheap af! She is basically selling at a LOSS, we really love a queen that cares for her fans!

 

Fans getting a good deal WHILE helping the planet at the same time? Who else is doing it other than our environmental queen Billie Eilish?!

She's not doing it in the US because billboard doesn't allow physical bundles anymore. They all need to be sold separately

??? I don't get what you DON'T understand

You are basically helping the Earth if you buy more

 

Grab a copy now if you can! Even better if you cancel your Tortured preorder and spend all your coins on Billie's vinyl to help our planet

Hypocrite. Recycle or not, it's still generating waste

Defending what? Her staying true to her word and not contradicting herself? Do some of you ever read things beyond the thread's title?  

there is no ethical consumption under capitalism

And why are some many swifties camping on this thread?

What's the ratio of private jet emissions to vinyl variants

Wasn't the whole point that she used recycled materials to make the vinyls? How is this hypocrisy?

It's just another greenwash rebrand for miss thing. "Eco-mix" is as recyclable as "vegan leather" iykyk.
And let's not act like making all these variant vinyls won't generate emissions either.
 

[bad guy]

I love how that interview where she named nobody has a certain fanbase still tweaking out. Notice how no other fanbase cared despite how every big artist releases different vinyls? It's almost like that was never the issue. But even if these vinyl variants weren't all recyclable and made with only recycled materials, she's still a vegan which does more for the environment than anyone in here grasping at straws for a gotcha moment in defense of someone who emitted more carbon emissions in one day than most of the global population does in their lifetime.

For anyone interested in whether or not these vinyls are more environmentally friendly:

So both fake and cheap. I know something is sus from that "Eco-mix" branding. It screamed greenwash af lol

[cuteboyzay]

I know she's making it from 100% recycled material but still why so many variants!?

Ariana with her like 8 variants

All of Ariana's vinyls were the SAME, a red pressing, there were no variants, only different covers

 

OT: she literally said even her does vinyl variants and the material is recycled so the point still stands, that fan base acts as if Billie name dropped her and is attacking her 

[Trent W]

Love her but all pop girls are just a bunch of capitalistic clowns

 

I don't even mind capitalism that much

 

But when they pretend they are not a part of it it's annoying af

 

Just own it

[brenda-walsh]

swifties still making an embarrassment of themselves over that comment from a few weeks ago? nothing surprising here! 

[Brooklyn Baby]

Not gonna hold this against Billie or anything but she should just keep her mouth shut about these things next time

 

Literally all of our faves including Billie are greedy capitalists

 

[dussel_06]

"Swifties…. Swiftiesss. Swiftiess….”

 

What's worse than an ecoterrorist and capitalist one? A hypocrite! Disgusting! Yuck!

Her original point also includes big artists doing this for money and chart, and calling that wasteful, yet she is doing the EXACT same thing but even worst with 9 variants. 

Something she admitted to doing, which is why she makes them Eco-friendly.... aka, her original point. 

 

Lovely to see that fanbase hasn't slept over a comment made WEEKS ago that WAS NOT directed toward anybody.

GREEN WASHING ECOTERRORIST

BILLIE EILISH

The swifties giving her free promo 

[RoseBud]

I made the following statement a couple weeks ago after Billie first came out with her blabbering statements: 

 

"Based on what Billie has said, I will expect her to not release any more physicals and if her label forces her to do so she will release only one eco-friendly version.  If her label forces variants (eco-friendly of course) she will sell them at cost because it would be greedy of her to make money on them (she has enough of that by the way) and the variants won't count for her charting numbers." 

 

Of course she has failed my challenge miserably as I expected and has indeed proved herself to be an enormous hypocrite.
