celeb news #BlockOut2024 - Block Kim K, Gaga & Beyonce + more celebs #FreePalestine

[Prisoner]

I certainly don't expect everyone to speak up but this just tells you how performative celebs were being during the rise of Trump and Covid  

[Sugar-Rush]

Quote

 People have started to get frustrated that celebrities are out at The Met, walking in expensive dresses and jewelry.

Neither Bey nor Gaga were at this year's Met Gala though.

 

I think it's great that some people are so passionate about Palestine, but they should use their energy to bring about actual change, not just cancelling celebrities who are in a  neutral position.

[AvadaKedavra]

I feel like..... Instead of helping this will turn people to centrism, and the far right
If they start to ban everything and go too extreme it will make people exhausted of this palestinian tragedy instead of makin them aware 

They need to approach this with more intelligence,tact and less combativeness.  

Pollice brutality will come once the conservatives take over this year and all the pro-palestine movements will be done all over the states. 

Good intentions, bad execution  Just thoughts.



At the same time this guy is very ahead of our times. I believe in him  he spilled

Lemme block Bad Bunny, SZA. Jack Antonoff, Remi Wolf,Childish Gambino,Raw Alejandro ,Boygenius and Haim

I feel like theyre not doin enough for palestine with all their millions and platforms. That makes me very upset with them

The same people in here crying about "free Palestine" would be killed if they were over there. What makes you think that they care about your Gay a***s?

Every gay person in Gaza has a MUCH greater chance of being killed by an Israeli bomb than by homophobia let's not

They would be killed by Israeli air strikes.

People have a right to not care about every single war or wrongdoing going on in the world. 

Some of you bringing Lady Gaga being a LGBT activist therefore she has to say something for Palestine, Beyoncé being an activist for BLM therefore has to do something about this? 

Let people fight the wars that they want to fight. If they want to fight this one too, cool. But if they don't want to is also OK. Forcing them is not the way to go about it. 

 

Also was Beyoncé at the MET Gala ? I must have missed it. 

This rhetoric,  I think, could make sense if not for discussing American celebrities. 

 

It's not a "war". It's a genocide funded and largely done in-part by America, and thus American celebrities and the wealthy have influence./

 

It's not odd to question whether the famous and powerful who endorsed Biden in 2020 how they feel now about him endorsing genocide in an election year.

How much of Gaza's 2M population do you believe deserve to be slaughtered - 1%? 5%? 10%?

Good. Block all of them. They all are cowards and a bunch of hypocrites.

 

And for the stans that say that these celebs have no influence, I better not see any of your faves campaigning for Biden the ghoul.

[MattieB]

I blocked all their useless asses, Beyoncé, Taylor, Kardashians, etc etc etc

This site is one of the worst to have this topic in tho OP, I'd go on a limb and say ATRL is the Nexus of celebrity worship

What kind of a take is this? You literally listed out why those people should speak out. And if anything this proves how much those two wore those movements as a costume for their eras. 

This is the same gaga that said ARREST ME MOSCOW, this is the same Beyonce that declared BLM (until it was not) 

When it comes to issues outside of eras they can profit from they are nowhere to be found

I agree, but I also feel that whenever celebrities speak out it's usually more effective if it feels like it's something they actively care about. It's kind of why so much of the Biden campaigns & BLM black squares didn't land as much as they could've.

 

While it would be great if any celebrity would speak up about Gaza, I feel like as long as they're not promoting zionist propaganda it's not harmful (not helpful either). I'd rather have big celebrities who are passionate about this specific issue talk about it. Mostly because I believe this type of endorsing tends to be the most powerful. Otherwise, you'd get a lot of celebrities posting somewhat empty posts just so that they don't appear in a list of celebs to block.

[MattieB]

It is your responsibility as an individual who holds fame to use it for good 

All these celebrities do not know nor give a **** about anyone unless it makes money for them

When has Beyonce, Taylor etc made free concerts for fans who can't afford tickets? Or let fans who stood outside the stadium in

What selfless deed have they done for their fans without monetary gain

I don't think they have to be passionate about it to speak out. We are in the red zone. THOUSANDS of children dead, with the blood on Israel and US hands, we desperately need them to say something, anything 

They hold influence on so many people as the stans like to brag about everyday. Why not use it for good?

I understand your point and I share it to some extent. I just don't know what exactly this campaign truly tries to achieve. I feel like it kind of centers the conversation on celebrities instead of the actual genocide happening (which is kind of ironic since it's what the campaign is supposed to avoid). 

 

Most people create parasocial relationships with these people. So to them it feels more akin to defending a friend (which is weird, but also kind of unavoidable, it's what happens when people follow someone for any piece of time. Activists are not necessarily immune to this). Then again, what do I know. I'm not sure what's the best way to goo about this. I guess I think it's better, if you want to talk about celebrities, it's better to talk about those who are actually talking about this, instead of always talking about those who aren't.

Our attention is their currency. We pay these celebrities. This is the power so many people forget we have. 

When we block the celebrities, they don't have access to us and our data aka lose of money 

 

That is exactly why they need to block them. Celeb worship is SICK, Taylor swift don't give one iota of a **** to her stans here. She will do nothing for them unless it brings her money 

It's time to stop bringing on the government, because celebs/influencers have a huge part to play in this

Performative activism and engagement farming to an extreme. Do these idiots think social media is the biggest source of income for most of these celebrities? Somehow even worse than the people that think they're solving world peace by not drinking Starbucks 

[Mellark]

I don't know but this is going to be a controversial take but why does it remind me of "black square" performative activism in 2020?  Like, what is trying to achieve?

Yes it is! Like! Lmao 

Do you know how powerful social media is? Why do you think the giants, coca cola, vogue, mark Zuckerberg, Elon musk, oprah, dolce & gabanna, apple, Microsoft etc etc etc are on social media and molding their marketing around it? 

Without the internet, kimvs mobile game wouldn't have made her 100s of millions, without social media kylie's company will be DOA, without social media Taylor swift will be NO WHERE near where she is now, the power of stanship is driving on the back of social media 

[DougAF]

This is what I've been saying needs to happen to the fenty woman. Nobody will see her next fenty thong sale, let alone buy it and she'll be forced to release music instead. 

[eleganceislearned]

It would be cool if they applied this heat to actual politicians. That 9/11 Ja Rule joke still applies in the worst way.  As much as people try to make it so, celebrities are not world leaders. This is just misplaced and just shows how people are sadly screaming out for a leader that might never materialize (because everyone is too obsessed with the wrong people). They sing/act good, but to think these rich, uneducated, artsy people are going to do anything radically worthwhile for world peace, or that they are even capable of that, is idiotic.
