If the whole performance was a troll to generate misogynist rage for her to do research on this is the best con ever.
I think that “it’s supposed to be shit” can be good when it comes from an artist that has the ability to do it well. No idea if this is the case for Raygun, but it’d be interesting to me if she had proven her chops elsewhere then decided to put on a horrible act.
In 2019, I bought a cheap guitar at a pawn shop. Over the course of the following year, I swapped out the neck, the tuners, the pickups, the controls, the jack, and the bridge. Is it still the same guitar?
If my guitar went through the Star Trek transporter beam and had all its molecules disassembled into energy and was reassembled via the inverse process from different energy strings, is it still that guitar or is it a duplicate?
If you cover your eyes and the guitar disappears and then you uncover them and it reappears, is it the same guitar?
Depends on if I have slotting files or a Dremel nearby. It's kind of an Idle Hands situation over here.
It's a joke about lacking object permanence the way babies do
Is it still that guitar if I swap out the body for a new one? What if that also requires a pickguard swap? What if the tremolo cavity plate no longer fits and I need to swap that out, too?
It's conceptually the same guitar if you think it is
It's the same idea of "what is a chair"? You are the one who perceives an arrangement of wood in a particular way as being a chair. Heck, you're the one who conceptualizes a certain arrangement of organic molecules to be "wood" in the first place
I would say it wasn't "that guitar" if you swapped it out wholesale.
This is the joke. The body and a couple of plastic bits are all that remain from the original pawn shop find because I kept finding shit that was either broken, unusable, or in need of so much rework that it made more sense to just get new parts, resulting in an almost entirely different instrument from what I initially bought. I almost have enough bits to rebuild the original guitar and dump it off on some other sap with poor impulse control, but it probably has more use value as (carcinogenic) firewood.
Last question: do you think this line of questioning will work on my spouse?
Haters: nooo you must abide the extant aesthetic standards and artistic conventions !
Her: wot if I was silly
I thought this was a bit

She lost a breakdancing, but won in getting people to view and download her dissertation.
Why's everybody wanna deterritorialize gender instead of degendering territory
If anything I'm gendering more territories
Iceland: boy
Finland: girl
Sweden: enby
Fr, next thing you know, they'll have Olympic voguing and it will be dominated by straight people 💀
after seeing her paper on how the ioc and big brands are taking over breakdancing and stuff and then seeing her performances before the olympics where she is actualy p good at breakdancing i gotta say im in the camp that thinks this is a form of protest shes doing to deligitimize olympics breakdancing and the corporatization of it
I really don't know how people are missing this point, ESPECIALLY here of all places.
if you are interested in this especially go look at her breakdancing before the olympics she is definitely NOT bad at breakdancing
