The Ramblings of an Aspie

Did anyone else feel like this is the point where Delphine started seeing Cosima in a new light? This seemingly insignificant girl with glasses and dreadlocks had the lady balls to call out a man that’s been holding Delphine hostage using intimidation and blackmail. Cosima wasn’t going to let Leekie’s status, reputation, or charisma intimidate her or fool her into believing something she already knows is pure bullshit. She just did what she always does, which is speak her mind without fear. Delphine’s been controlled by fear for so long that Cosima must seem like a breath of fresh air at this point. Yes, Delphine was probably scared shitless that Leekie would get angry for Cosima’s brashness, but what matters is that he didn’t. The world didn’t end and no harm came to Cosima when she stood up to him, so maybe this gave Delphine the bravery to go against Leekie later on like, “If Cosima can do it, then so can I”.

Well ok Kesha, maybe it’s because you’re an auto tuned peice of shit who shouldn’t be famous, you have no Buisness being in the music industry, it’s not even your music you fuck, someone else wrote it for you to record and them to auto tune yourself. And it’s not at all good . It’s not positive either. So complain some more.

I don’t know if you know this, tumblr user koolkidseatgreens, but Ke$ha is a certified genius. She has an IQ over 140 and an SAT score of 1500. When she was younger she would go to the library and do research for fun. Ke$ha is a both feminist and an advocate for equal marriage/rights for people of any sexuality, being a queer woman herself.

Ke$ha is a smart, professional woman, and just because she sings songs about wanting to let loose and have fun every once in a while doesn’t make her a piece of shit.

Ke$ha’s songs are meant to point out the sexism in our media. She treats men the same way many men in the music industry treat women, and she is hated on for it. Relentlessly. She sings on multiple occasions about taking charge in a sexual relationship, of how she only uses men for their body parts. She sexualizes men to make them uncomfortable. She sexualizes men for a reaction, so that people can both see why women are so uncomfortable with their sexualization and also to point out the inequality between the sexes both in the media and in the world at large.

She is judged so harshly for singing about things that make many men famous.

If you listen to Ke$ha’s deconstructed album you will see that she actually has some talent, which may be hard to hear because she does in fact use a fair amount of autotune. This is because of her genre and because of the kind of music she chooses to create as an artist. Ke$ha may not write her songs, but this doesn’t meant she isn’t a good artist or a good person. This doesn’t mean she deserves your harsh words. Some singers are good at writing, but that’s hardly a requirement. Last time I checked whether or not you can sing has nothing to do with whether or not you’re a poet.

You should not be calling anyone a piece of shit, my friend, especially someone you’ve never sat down and had a conversation (or even taken the time to wonder about her feelings!), but if anyone deserves that kind of language it’s not Ke$ha.

You may think that by shaming women for expressing their sexuality and having fun every once in a while, that you are somehow abolishing sexism. That in weeding out the less ‘deserving’ women you are gaining our sex more respect. This is not the case, and the fact that you and many others feel such a strong need to shame this woman who has done nothing wrong, especially not to you, shows that we still have a very far away to go.

Everything the poster above said is true except for the fact that she doesn’t write her own songs which is the most glaring error I’ve ever read anywhere. But they did such a good job of stating everything else, I will forgive them.

Kesha writes all over her own songs. She always has. She always will. She hasn’t released a song she hasn’t written. She’s also written songs for other artists, including Britney Spears.

Kesha has written hundreds and hundreds of songs, many of which have leaked. Some of them are absolutely horrible and some of them are amazingly well written hidden gems that deal with much more than just going out and getting drunk.

People who hate Kesha because she’s “trashy” or “uses autotune” are missing the point of everything and I simply feel bad for them. They’re unfortunately missing out on a person who’s main message is acceptance and happiness…which is a message that I think everyone should hear and perpetuate to others.

I also want to add that Ke$ha, unlike other artists, didn’t start out with money or any connections. Her single mom raised her on food stamps and Ke$ha became a singer by herself. No training, no opportunities, just her talent. That’s amazing.
