SlimyGhoul Posted June 14 Posted June 14 Just now, Rep2000 said: We need y'all to stay away from metaphors for a while. Because this just sounds so dumb after that thread yesterday. Like, comparing an inconsequential chart race to shooting and killing people?!? Please stop being dumb. I feel like you're missing the point. I'm using a metaphor to illustrate what I mean. People actually do it all the time. You're trying to argue against what was used in a metaphor, not the actual point it was making. In a metaphor, you compare two things that are *not* alike. I am not saying what Taylor did was equivalent to shooting someone. Does that help? I would like to hear your opinion about the point I was making, not what I used to make it.

Ma'am, it's just a chart race. How many times do we need to tell you that? Nobody is ******* killing or dying over here. Stop oversensationalizing stuffs over a 1k difference in sales. Do I have to get even more layman's terms for you to get? 2

I changed the metaphor in my original post so you can understand it easier. Does it make sense now? what I was not saying: chart race = horrible crime. I don't know how the **** you got that from my original post. Can you read

And now you can take that metaphor and say that to someone irl that you know and see if they give a **** about it or not. Because apparently you still can't see how dumb and inconsequential it it. Good god 1
M!X Posted June 14 Posted June 14 Charli was never getting it, I do think it's kinda dumb that Taylor releases so many versions, but at this point now that we know ttpd would have stayed #1 regardless this entire drama is pointless 1

ronelmaano13 Posted June 14 Posted June 14 Another hit thread for our winner, Taylor Swift! Talk of the town indeed. Queen of ATRL. 2 2
Archetype Posted June 15 Posted June 15 (edited) This was clearly planned well in advance of any other releases considering how she does this almost every week, so not a drag at Charli. This is really annoying tho. At this point every pop girl that releases this year is going to hate her. Edited June 15 by Archetype 1 2

It's the only way you feel fulfilled in your sad miserable stan life. You have no life, you're a sad human being who gets off whenever your favourite mentally ill artist gets a new achievement for her mediocre album that has no substance lyrically and musically. You feel like it belongs to you because you belong to her group of obsessed die-hards who have no purpose in life but blindly stan a corporate artist who has no ounce of respect to her fans or to the music world whatsoever. At least I enjoy the music I listen to, while you are the one forcing themselves and lying to themselves, thinking the music they listen to has even an ounce of quality of the Teletubbies theme song. You think her fraudulent achievements are worth bragging about, but child, me and all other mentally sane people just are laughing at your delusions. Take a couple seats, because you and your worthless life won't ever be taken seriously by any sane human being on this forum. 4 4 2
Galah Posted June 15 Posted June 15 1 hour ago, Redstreak said: This isn't the gag you thought it was. The "gotcha" moment in question, "It's apparently gross for her to care about staying at #1 but totally cool for others to care about debuting at #1," is literally true? Why would you want one person to log 10 weeks at #1, potentially blocking 9 others from this achievement with material that they have invested time, energy, love, passion, money, and so much more into, when you could still have your #1 and allow 9 others to do the same—pleasing them, their fans, their communities, and the public on the whole. It's just bizarre. Even if this is all some kind of elaborate ruse to manufacture a false "bad reputation" prior to her dropping rep TV, that in itself is narcissistic and gross. She'd be willing to sacrifice Dua's, Billie's, Charli's, and so many other artists' moments just for the sake of not only benefiting her current album (TTPD) but also her next one (repTV)? Anyone genuinely supportive of this tactic really needs to find some better way to channel their energy and focus on achieving merits in their own life instead of living through another woman's takedowns of less omnipresent female artists. 12 2 2

First she's obviously not doing this for any rep promo, that's just fans having a kii, second idk what the solution for you would be. She got the #1 apropos of just having better numbers, there's no secret plot. She's literally the biggest artist on the planet right now, currently touring through the UK, that was always gonna boost her. Charli's album regardless of any critical standpoint is one that just didn't have much widespread appeal, the thing needed for charts

Communion Posted June 15 Posted June 15 They're kind of both losers for either being hung up on or friends with Matty Healy of all people. Taylor obviously wins fair and square by selling more but going out of your way to chart battle other women at the end of the day has social consequences. I guess anyone can fall victim to the "not a girl's girl" label. If you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.
