Yeah so going by your logic, it's impossible to have a non-positive opinion (even though it's not the case as, once again, I don't dislike Lemonade) on a black artist's music. Whatever.

October 29, 2025Oct 29 ATRL Moderator comment_28463222 @Squall the problem that keeps happening is even when someone like @Devin kindly explains why your post can be perceived the way it did, you fight back instantly instead of listening to the criticism. I know that myself as a white person will never experience some of the struggles that POC go through daily so I have to listen to their point of view and make an conscious effort to understand what affects them. Your history of fighting back against your warnings even with nice, proper explanations is why your requests go without response for the most part. Why would staff take the time to explain why you keep getting in trouble if you’re not going to make an effort to listen and grow from it? I would love to squash whatever beef you have with me and staff so lets please have a productive conversation. If you want to move it to PM that’s fine as well.

Whatever. Mods were discussing on your warning and there's some disagreement on if your post is warnable or not. Regardless it's just 2 points with a posting restriction already completed so at most the points will end up removed if the mod that warned agrees to in the end. I personally think the issue is not criticizing a black artist's music. There's nothing wrong with saying which you think is better or whatever. The questionable part is assuming one is more authentic than the other when they deal with similar topics and all you know about how both albums were made are the credits and the news or tea surrounding the albums. I don't know your posting history to assume this is an intentional micro-aggression on your path but it's something worth thinking about when you talk about music made by anyone really Link to comment https://atrl.net/forums/topic/498676-the-hq-thread-2025/page/328/#findComment-28463245 Share this post

Both albums are about divorce, I simply think white art is more authentic because it's straightforward, more opened, raw and honest. You need to stop thinking everything is about race, this is sick hmm Link to comment https://atrl.net/forums/topic/498676-the-hq-thread-2025/page/328/#findComment-28463279 Share this post

There are tons of white artists whose music I don't find authentic at all (Ava Max, for instance). This was stricly about two specific albums and you're acting like I posted "white music is more authentic than black music"; I wouldn't have contested a warning in this situation.

October 29, 2025Oct 29 comment_28464315 The attention seeking is tew merch. Calling out mods in HQ just for them to expose your tea to make you look bad. You all know how to send a request privately, make it public to garner sympathy, and then take the L at the end with your kanekelon strands split, shifted and snatched.
