hi! my first thread is a v problematic yet popular instagram account: velvetcoke which needs to be cancelled. feel free to add more and lmk who else should be discussed.
1. the constant support for problematic celebrities: johnny depp, ellen, mike tyson ETC. so many more examples of celebrities with a very questionable past or actual abusers/homophobes/sexists being posted like theyâre great.
2. the lack of POC. as it can be seen this feed definitely does not have enough people of color and representation whatsoever. for such a big vintage account, there should be more diversity. instead, there are mostly white people. note only jay z in the recent photos.
3. rockstars are a regular content on their account - glorified and praised. most of these men (mick, elvis, bowie) were ped*s, sexist or, again, abusers. even the comments worship them and contribute to everything thatâs wrong with society.
4. such things are even supported by big names in the industry - such as kendall, shawn mendes, halsey and more.
5. glamorization of the 1940s and 1950s. there was nothing sweet about that time period, matter of fact it was a time full of oppression and racism. posting these images is inconsiderate and foul.
6. problematic photoshoots (example: animal abuse) promoted as âiconicâ when there is nothing iconic about animals being used as props for aesthetic purposes.
7. the unnecessary hype of already overrated celebrities (such as timothee chalamet or harry styles) on a vintage (?) account. at least promote artists that are actually talented and deserve their hype because of hard work.
8. and the latest problematic thing was... support for lana del rey? lana del rey is a racist white feminist who recently got cancelled for her ridiculous rant in which she attacked POC artists. the comments are from one of lanaâs recent posts.
