This post was originally a link of my saved video of this TikTok (CW: gross body-shaming, mean, misinformation) diss track that I deleted. I apologize for overlooking the ugliness of this content, and I don't condone most of what was said in the video, only certain elements I agreed with. I appreciate the criticism and feedback.

I'll keep this up in this state because I believe there is some worthwhile discussion here. If the mods want me to delete this or remove the TikTok link for reference, I am willing to do so.

Yeah the race angle of this is really cringe. Like, we're all leftists here, we should have a cursory understanding of the ways black culture has been appropriated, not exactly a prescient critique. Self loathing might be it. "I might not be as talented as welles but at least im not a lib!!" Is the energy this is giving off.

I'll maintain that welles presents a foot in the door for conversation at best. We'll see if that changes.
