  Don’t discrace the good name of my friend, Portable Document Format

  I mean, I suppose not, but neither do must forms of art. Amateurism, real or percieved, is even a hallmark of many genres, like punk for instance.

  But that’s kind of missing the forest for the trees. For the poster to look at a genre that is historically dominated by white people (and one with a history of far-right politics at that), and contrast it as requiring more talent to produce than a predominantly black genre of music… Let’s just say that raises some alarm bells.

  I adore my T-480! I put Linux Mint on it, and it does everything I need it to do, with basically no fuss, and no garbage from Microsoft

  Lmao what a fucking racist loser! You can’t even respond with anything meaningful

  Russia isn’t even a part of this discussion. I’m honestly more offended by your opinions of teenagers.

  But that aside, it’s not about “defending” these States. It’s that your tone is dripping with orientalist racism

  Sees teenagers doing dumb shit, like they have since literally forever

  “Is this a plot by the despotic orientals?!”

  Fucking listen to yourself. I’m not on TikTok. I just don’t care for vertical short-form video as a concept. But even I can tell you that not every TikTok trend is teenagers being destructive idiots.

  I agree that people are often unfairly dismissive of Metal as a genre.

  But people are also often unfairly dismissive of Rap and Hip Hop. A lot of the time that dismissal is rooted in racism.

  Now, go listen to some MF Doom, and tell me rap doesn’t require talent

  Is it just me, or is musk profiting off of selling people tech before it’s actually ready?
