we’re allowed to criticise her on a forum tho…….bullying charli directly under her tweets is very different to discussing her actions on a fan site. 

 

charli keeping it ‘on the low’ is even worse than announcing it, like she knows it’s wrong or something.

 

it isn’t the end of the world though, idk i’m gonna stop talking about it now. 

people on here are just reinforcing the tweets she’s been receiving so the sentiment is the exact same. we don’t want her to “promote” or “endorse” NFTs but not promoting them is apparently also the wrong move… okay. we want a big budget era but she’s not allowed to acquire the money to fund said budget… okay.

Lol we want her to succeed, but she doesn’t need NFTs to succeed. Also, we live in a world where we practically need phones and cars to survive. Those are necessities, but NFTs are not a necessity. This is a huge false equivalence.

if she’s being offered business opportunities i don’t really see why anyone would argue that she’s in the position to reject them. she has made it clear she finances a lot of her work herself. cars and phones, luxury goods and services etc are really not essential to anything other than participating in a consumerist culture. this understanding of capitalism is entirely based on life in western imperialist nations, the vast majority of people in the world live life without an iphone. it’s not a false equivalency, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. let’s not cherrypick :hooker:

This is just simply not true. Cars are ESSENTIAL. Cities are built around cars, and public transportation is not available everywhere. Cars and phones have become staples in modern society. NFTs have only recently been introduced and we do not depend on them. It’s not cherry-picking to call people out for doing NFTs when there are other ways to make money. Cars and phones have been in production for decades and people can’t stop that, but NFTs basically just started. It’s easier to try to stop something that’s in its early stages. It is a false equivalence. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, but most of us still have to live in a capitalist society. People don’t have a choice to use phones and cars - their jobs and livelihoods depend on them. NFTs are a choice.

Where did she make it clear she funds videos herself? She has funds off Atlantic for starters to promote her singles and is a multimillionaire, spare me the tears-you can produce a decent video for less than “1000”. 
 

You cannot compare two instances with different multitudes and opportunities, Charli as a millionaire does not have to use NFTs-the vast majority of people still use mobile devices for work or risk unemployment being born into a western/other societies or facing exclusion.

I love Charli but it kinda triggers me when she constantly plays the victim. She does this every single time. Instead of just saying "I'm sorry", she'll put out a statement that she's being bullied by her fans and log off for a total of 2.5 days. 

when else has she done this... ?

she's actually endorsing NFT as a critique of capitalism and how celebrities will sell their soul for money at the expense of the environment...just like how she made sure Good Ones flopped as a statement on pop music...mind of a mastermind

its……a floating rock and some weak choreo in a field…New Shapes set and what we’ve seen of the Baby video gave bigger budget

it’s… a snippet. And you can clearly see they used a high budget camera with a great lens (coming from a cinematographer btw)
