What does it mean to be a singer, a dancer, a performer—or none of the above? Can the Tate McRaes of this world ever rise up to become vocalists? Do they need to? This week, we break down the layers of artistry and performance, from raw talent to the illusion of stage presence. But beyond the spectacle, we dive into the complexities of power, desire, and discrimination in both personal and systemic ways.
We start by recounting Petar's disturbing encounter with a creepy man which leads us to exploring a psychosexual post-colonial theory that unpacks the lasting impact of power dynamics, and examine how pushback against modesty culture is tied to racism and hypersexualization. The conversation turns to the insidious ways discrimination manifests on Grindr and how the app reflects deeper issues within queer spaces. We also discuss misogyny in Japan, the way economic systems ensure the persistence of racial injustice, and the dystopian potential of Elon Musk’s Cyberlink.
Of course, we take a moment to reflect on the lighter (yet still questionable) aspects of our lives—like our Pinterest feeds... before going right back into how social media’s toxicity is more about its users than the platforms themselves.
Tune in for a deep, unfiltered discussion that connects the personal to the systemic, one bussy at a time.
