I Don't Know If Some Of You Have Seen But Scooter Braun Has Officially Retired From Managing Artists

i don't know if some of you have seen but scooter braun has officially retired from managing artists to focus on being a ceo at hybe america. he put out a statement where he said this on his instagram:

i could break down how bad this whole statement is bad but i wanna point out he purposely named newjeans, txt, le sserafim, seventeen and illit here and called them "new acts" and did indeed confirm that he will be working with these groups very closely in the future and yet people are still not alarmed about his involvement and don't take the boycott seriously. this statement is quite literally alarming and proving once again that hybe doesn't care about our opinion and what we have been telling them these past few months. it's so obvious they won't let go of him any time soon and this will only get worse if people don't mobilize themselves seriously. a lot of boycotters can tell you the same thing but we are so tired of begging people to boycott it's EXHAUSTING if this doesn't make you scared i don't know what will

been crying a lot lately and i'm reminded of how therapeutic writing can be for me

This might be sudden but

What would you feel like if a mutual of yours was lying about their age?

Just a random thought

hi anon 👋

to be honest, i don't see a point in lying about age at all, under any circumstances for any reason. mutuals or non-mutuals. especially when it's about social media, or in this case i'm going to assume tumblr.

in this world (not just the online world but also the physical one), age is used as a 'benchmark' to make sure that everyone is well protected in what they do.

my first reaction to anyone who would lie their age to me is that i would be very uncomfortable. again, this is because i believe that there is absolutely no need to lie about your age for anything. i know of people who lie about their age and i have never understood it. even if it's just for something 'harmless' like getting a student discount (though people usually ask for your student id) or a kids discount because when it works once, you're rewarded with saving money and get away with it, you're going to do it next time.

for me lying about something about something that is almost like a protective factor in our world in my opinion and perspective is unnecessary under any circumstances.

and to you anon, i'm not sure whether you're my mutual or not, or if you're lying about your age to your other mutuals, or if you're just asking for a random opinion but this is my answer to you. if you are my mutual and you've lied about your age, i guess depending on what we've talked about and such, i would be very alarmed but all in all, very uncomfortable. i'm not sure if lying about your age was seen to be something fun or a joke at first but if you do think like that, and you haven't been able to say the truth (on the assumption that we are mutuals and you're lying), then i do think that even though being honest now would be very hard, i think it's best to give me some space because i do think our age can be a protective factor especially when on the internet.
