    If they cared about consent in any capacity, we wouldn't have had nothing but sex criminal politicians since the founding of the US. Jefferson, Clinton, Trump, Biden, it's literally a systemic problem.

    Hamilton was made by a person of color, and the original cast said 'shame on you' to trump officials during one of the original shows. A hip hop musical made in the name of giving good pr to a fucking slaver who helped found a slaving colony.

    How fucked is that?

      Wow cool a brown person singing a song to make a slaver look sympathetic. wow-cool-robot

      It's beyond parody and jokerfying.

        I'm guessing that marginalised people making media calling white men OK is a pretty successful grift industry.

          Hence in the other thread, I said I wish it was safer to date as a leftist. I'm Black and sometimes the best I can get for a long time is "enjoyed Hamilton"

            Dammit, if people used Hamilton on me because of my race, I'd adventure-time

              I have a very crazy story about a liberal coworker who was obsessed with Hamilton. I have never seen the show and at this point I refuse to. I'd rather read X-Men comics about queer polycules on Mars.

                I had a lib younger friend who was super into it. This was at the very beginning and I had no preconceived ideas about the show. We did a road trip once, and she played it on the car stereo. I heard a few of the songs and I was totally turned off by the style and by what it was saying.

                  LMM's musical style is so corny it hurts. It's always really obvious when his work comes up in the newer Disney movies.

                  I had a white woman play Beyoncé's new album on a road trip a few months ago. You have my sympathy.

      Genuinely why I want Lin Manuel dropped down a stick pit. There is no coming back from Sunken-Placery like fucking Hamilton.

        Lin Manuel Miranda, for your crimes against humanity, ten years in the Sunken Place Gulag.
