I'm going to do a thread of all the references and context behind Bad Bunny's performance and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see this on the biggest stage.
The opening title screen is a street mural in Puerto Rico that comes to life with footballs as coconuts.

Vor ein paar Wochen habe ich einen Text darüber geschrieben, dass das Missbrauchen von Kindern durch reiche Menschen lange Tradition hat
Wir sollten uns der Tatsache stellen, dass es zu unserer Kultur gehört, schwerste sexuelle Gewalt zu dulden.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

art is already democratized bcuz artists spent the entire past century creating forms where technical skill doesn't matter so as to welcome anyone's contribution into canon but everyone hated this idea bcuz theyre scared of egalitarianism. better 2 consolidate art in the hands of capital i guess!
