Gaga uses AI to promote new album/concert/thing
Hmmm, imo it could be AI but to me it looks like just a photoshopped candle with her face put on it, then someone adding a stock video of a burning wick & a little animated drip down her face in like After Effects or something.

Mattxiv compares himself to Hudson Williams; sparks discussion
— Hudson is such a funny character to me because he is kind of a blank slate for most of the terminally online "thinkers" to project whatever narrative they want on to, good or bad, to then argue with other internet people and get their dopamine fix. He is so harmless so it's funny how MAD people get, the discourse on him is a great a case study on envy.

Lisa Kudrow: New sitcoms are too afraid to make jokes that make people uncomfortable
Well look at the Scary Movie 6 trailer, my woke-ish friends were kinda excited for it but the second there was a joke about non binary people they all backed out and said it looked bad. So I feel like people mainly want the jokes to be at the expense of people they feel should be joked about, and that varies drastically between groups. Also these edgy jokes were pre-social media, and that has made the media landscape a huge mess, people are claiming the new Mario movie as a conservative win ffs.

Down to Puck: Why Women Are Going Wild for 'Heated Rivalry'
Ever since someone said it's actually a sapphic story but just using men instead of women the appeal made a lot more sense to me.

Connor Storrie on sexuality: "I'm gonna keep that to myself"
This. I get it, its annoying seeing a gay man do this song and dance still but not everyone gets the Jonathan Bailey treatment, and with gay characters getting phased out of most shows it makes sense to not pigeonhole yourself. That said, it can also alienate/ turn off queer fandom which supported him in his breakout role so it might backfire.

Is Katy Perry back to being an A list celebrity?
She was one of the most popular halloween costumes, I personally saw 4 space suit Katy's holding a daisy this year + she just hard launched one of the most hilarious celeb couplings in modern history so yes she will always be A list. Her celebrity status is likely going to play out in a similar capacity to JLo, who is also aggressively hated by some but these haters still engage (like the gaga avatars above who are in every Katy thread they see), unlike some stars where they just sort of vanish, Katy and Jlo are always up to something.

Katy Perry - "bandaids"
Lets be realistic here… She's a white mom in her 40's known for straightforward pop music, gays openly hate her and her last music video was the ultra sexual Im His, He's Mine which was totally ignored and arguably some of her better work… going the pop-rockish Kelly Clarkson / P!nk route is probably her best bet to appeal to the girls who liked her 15 years ago who are now moms too. My dentist office went to her concert last month and were all raving about it, they were all women in their 40's, thats her new demo and this direction makes total sense to me.

Katy Perry - "bandaids"
I agree, I feel like she has had this oddly processed sound for about 5 years now and it's awkwardly noticeable

Katy Perry - "bandaids"
I view this as less of an attempt at a new hit and more as her getting her creative voice back and being vulnerable again. Almost half the accidents in the video are her fault which I think is very intentional, like her acknowledging this is mostly her fault, and the suggestion that her daughter has stopped her from ending her life (she was considering letting the train just run her over) was very touching. Also WW playing while her (career) blows up was a great self deprecating joke. I'm sure the gays and theys will reject this, that their prerogative but as a former fan it was nice to see KATY again and her use her music and art to actually say something.

Genuinely thrilled by the video, the joke about WW at the end was great

Tears undeperformed, why?
It's really dirty and verrrrry gay, I can't see the GP embracing it the same way they did manchild or even taste.

Snoop Dogg, GLAAD, and Jeremy Beloate unite for LGBTQ+ youth!
I remember him saying something along the lines of any black person performing for Trump is "jigaboo ass N" and then like 8 years later he decided to perform at his inauguration… and now a couple months after randomly going on a homophobic rant he decides to partner with GLAAD?

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau spotted kissing
This is such a funny couple and now she has dated John Mayer, Orlando Bloom and now Trudeau? Its like she opened a People magazine in 2011 and started ordering like a catalogue. Good for her, it's been a brutal couple of years so bagging a former "sexiest" world leader is definitely something.

Why are gym influencers overwhelmingly Republican and Christian?
Gotta add that it is not exclusive to white men, I have seen plenty of latino and black fitness influencers post conservative content too, and LOTS of the female fitness or wellness influencers also lean very conservative lately. I strongly believe that this has been a pushback against the body positivity movement, unfortunately.

Which of these groups are neglected in gay dating/hookup circles?
I think how photogenic you are in your respective category makes a major difference if this is just based on apps. Also I think there is value to knowing where you fall on the desirability scale and adjusting your expectations accordingly, because I dont even bother swiping on the insta model types because I know that is not my lane, I'm fine being a 6 (Maybe a 7 if everyone in the room is short).

Gay influencer couple of 12 years posts awkward breakup/divorce video
They spent ~10 years capitalizing off making their relationship seem as picturesque as possible, I think they even published a cook book together, lol. The goal of this kind of content is to create the illusion of perfection and generate as much admiration and envy as possible for financial gain, and it absolutely worked! So seeing them choose to make an upbeat break up announcement video while one of them is visibly pissed at the situation is a funny conclusion to their #CoupleGoals. Definitely some schadenfreude going on. They will be fine.

Gay influencer couple of 12 years posts awkward breakup/divorce video
Oh god, just finished the video, the curly hair one's tone was so upbeat like he was unboxing a Labubu or something, genuinely made uncomfortable, especially with the bald one looking like he was being forced to be there and actively pissed at the situation. It's a bit cathartic to see this considering I did used to envy their "perfect" lives so to see their unbearable saccharine tone applied to a pretty obvious one sided breakup instead of re-upholstering a vintage couch is kind of healing for me in a way.

Gay influencer couple of 12 years posts awkward breakup/divorce video
The way I knew it was them before opening the thread I genuinely blocked them years ago because their content made my single ass so envious. I think straight couple-goals content can only do so much to me but for whatever reason these two and their cookbooks and DIY home reno content hit such a nerve I had to avoid them at all costs.

Do you think some pop girls pretend to be bisexual?
People swear Gaga was bisexual but on drag race when she met the queens she called herself an ally and has exclusively partnered with men (do not @ me with some Lady Starlight nonsense) so it is what it is. What is interesting is her fans seem keen on denouncing Katy's "bisexuality" (including mother monster herself!) when both have said in interviews they had intimate moments with women and that's pretty much it, so how one is "valid" and one isnt when neither claim personal queerness in any way in 2025 is a bit of a kii.

Tove Lo - 'TL6'
So excited. Personally, I hope she gives some more songs like No One Dies From Love, and a bit less sex this time, I dunno I feel like she has been there done that a few times now.
