Sylvia Plath ― The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

this is obviously a larger issue than swift vs hozier, but it is emblematic of how white audiences consume and, in turn, ignore media that makes them uncomfortable or challenges their paradigms of systemic privilege. the problem is that when creators of colour make political narratives about ourselves, we are ignored; when white creators take time to include radical political narratives about BIPOC, they are are cherry-picked or overlooked for more sanitary messages. white audiences reduce hozier’s music to “forest king fae wizard” because it’s more comfortable to consume, and because it’s easier to draw similarities to another white artist than acknowledge the sheer depth of influence that Black artists have had.
