also when that song came out she was *THE* pop mega star. She was like the second coming of Madonna. The video drops were events. It was a big deal.

Idk the OP and won’t make judgments about their internal feelings or capabilities; this is part of the social contract of quote posting.
I think when read literally OP is correct that neither of these events solved the problems in question. If there are people who think they did, that’s dumb.

TBH as a closeted homophobe at the time, it’s hard to overstate the impact “Born this Way” had on my sense of what “everyone” believed about being gay.

People who think Bad Bunny did a lot for immigrants because of the super bowl are the same people who think Lady Gaga solved homophobia and transphobia because she said "no matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgender life" in her show in 2017

One of the most miserable things about living in this era is having to watch the stupidest & most arrogant people in the world have to relearn The Why of literally everything good that we collectively do the hard way.
The answer is always ‘Because a bunch of people died, fuckwit.’

there’s something about the exact sequence of emotions on scott’s face as he processes what he wants and decides to do it. maybe it’s not just that they get a happy ending, maybe it’s also the power of seeing the moment someone decides to come out and be brave, and that the courage comes from love.

I think about this a lot bc it’s a choice that matters when you recite poetry. I don’t treat line breaks as pauses unless they naturally feel like pauses, either because of the cadence of the poem or for the sake of a rhyme scheme or something similar.
whenever someone talks about line breaks online someone always shows up and says something like LINE BREAKS ARE ONLY THERE FOR BREATHS and I just can't imagine saying you love poetry while hating it so much

The "He Gets Us" superbowl ad was Nietzsche's transvaluation of values as a video montage.
It's like it's saying, "Everything people enjoy in life is actually morally tainted and inadequate when compared to [absent thing] which is simultaneously the source and the negation of all other enjoyment."
