Demi Lovato comes out as “non-binary”, changes their pronouns
 
https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/19/enter...cli/index.html

we have reached peak clown world. imagine this whole time thinking Demi Lovato was female, only to find out “they” were “non-binary” this whole time...

i swear, there’s too much virtue signaling these days, the radical liberal left is the cancer of America, destroying humanity, erasing women’s history. this insanity needs to stop already!

i know “they” are probably just doing this for attention, but it encourages like minded clowns and sends the wrong message. i find it very hateful and bigoted for celebs to force their political views on tax paying citizens. fu*k all those privileged fascist elite celebrity scumbags.

Someone wants money through the pity pats.

Almost like this is an attention grab.

CyberCubed 05-19-2021 12:01 PM

To this day I have no idea what any of this stuff means.

ZariusTwo 05-19-2021 01:52 PM

Good for HER.

Attention seeking by pretending that they don't embrace stereotypes.

Nothing better can be expected from someone in the corrupt Hollywood and music industry.

honestly, ever since the 'brave and stunning' break through's of earlier years, that's what it feels like these days. I keep thinking about the scene in the simpsons where the gay pride parade is going on and lisa is so used to it she's like 'we know, you do it every year'.... and bart has a 'go yanez' or something on his flag.

Imagine the confusion of an English grammar student these days. I'm glad I've learned English in less complicated times.

She had her big heroin OD like a year ago, almost died and it has been nothing but horrible political rhetoric and bizarre behavior from her. She is completely empty headed and only interested in maximum attention.

sdp 05-19-2021 03:20 PM

Can you blame her? it's a strategy that works. People who "support equal rights" will praise it and give her attention. People who "hate equal rights" will criticize it and give her attention. Either way of the outrage scale she wins, controversy creates cash, this thread is an example of how her strategy worked, why else would there be a Demi Lovato thread on the technodrome?

Also, Prince did it first:

Oh, okay. Why do people even indulge in outrage over celebrities anymore. (Or use it to start political outrage since that seems to be the actual goal of some people.) If someone did something criminal, then sure, there's reason to care at least as far as wanting them held accountable, but otherwise... I grew bored of celebrities and their BS long ago.

Really couldn't care what [she or insert other term] does. Not like I ever have to interact with her/them and be one of those people jumping through hoops to try not to offend. Meh.

Outrage? With someone like Lovato it is much more pointing a finger at her and everyone of sound mind going, "hahahahahah!!!"

Sumac 05-19-2021 05:55 PM

Indeed, it is not an outrage, but more like a puzzlement: why is she doing it?
Attention seeking or genuine insanity?

And to be honest Hollywood actors like politicians - whatever they say, should not be trusted.

Coola Yagami 05-19-2021 06:10 PM

My gawd, what the **** is Leo666 doing to these women? I mean first he had that little encounter with Ellen Page, and now Demi Lovato. No wonder Teela is going a similar route.

Was it YOUR fault Lola's boobs got smaller???? It's a conspiracy I tells ya.

joe-eyeball 05-19-2021 06:29 PM

“Outrage” is such an overused term nowadays. This isn’t outrage as much as it is people just getting tired of celebrities doing this crap and the media enabling attention seekers that clearly need professional help more than public attention. I mean she has I believe one or two pre-existing diagnosed mental conditions and she is an addict but we are all supposed to accept her new identity as normal? No thanks!

Leo656 05-19-2021 08:43 PM

She's just trying to deflect any criticism from all the stuff she revealed in her "tell-all" documentary which proves what an idiot she is.

E.g.: "I OD'ed on heroin and got raped before almost dying. After I got out of recovery after almost dying, I immediately hooked up with the guy who raped me, so I could f*ck him for more heroin. I'm not a moron, though, I'm totally a victim."

See, a Sane and Rational person would look at ANY of these decisions - from smoking crack and doing heroin in the FIRST place, to hooking up with the guy who raped them, to going back to heroin immediately after almost dying from it and suffering permanent brain damage, etc. etc. - and say, "WOW, this person is like a Zen Master-level moron!" That is the CORRECT response to these revelations.

But Demi Lovato wants - nay, needs - to be portrayed as the victim in all of this, not as some idiot who habitually makes terrible choices. So if you notice, ever since she made these revelations, she's concurrently been making a big huge deal about her sexuality; first that she was bisexual (but more into women), and now that she's "non-binary". Every time she says something stupid and people start to criticize her, she immediately reveals something new about her sexuality. She knows that right now, if a person makes those kinds of things the focus of the conversation about themselves, it trumps all else. People can't call her an idiot drug addict if they're too busy lauding her for being "stunning and brave".

It's all just deflection and it's all very calculated.

I don't care about her sexuality, frankly. I care that she went right back to doing smack the second she got out of the hospital after almost dying. F*ck Demi Lovato, she's a moron, and that's the ONLY thing anyone should care about.

Like I'm definitely not rooting for her to die or anything, but based on her track record and the way she keeps lying and deflecting and whatnot, it's only a matter of time until she Winehouses herself. This other stuff is just a distraction, a way to trick people into supporting and defending her when she absolutely doesn't deserve it.

The entertainment industry sure seems filled with drug addicts and alcoholics.

Surprised Demi Lovato is into heroin instead of cocaine, though. Coke is more up a rich person's alley. And musicians doing heroin stopped being the cool thing to do sometime ago.

I can understand why people get into alcohol or even some drugs, but heroin?! By now everyone knows it's insanely addictive and destructive. Are people seriously naive enough they won't get addicted from just trying it a few times?

Leo656 05-19-2021 09:58 PM

She says that she used to mostly be into coke and Quaaludes - the downers would help her settle down after a coke binge - but that she was at a party and was "bored" with the other stuff so she started smoking crack and doing meth "just for funsies" and since her dealer didn't have any Quaaludes she just did heroin since that was "good enough".

I grew up around this sh*t, so I have no sympathy for any of these people. EVERY junkie and every crackhead swears that Every Single Other One was just a dummy who "couldn't handle it." "Not ME, though, I'm gonna be a SMART crackhead/junkie. I'm gonna be the First One In History to smoke crack or do heroin and not ruin their entire life." :roll: And lo and behold, they all end up the exact same way, inevitably.

There's even liberal college professors who are arguing right now for heroin to be decriminalized, claiming that it can be a "necessary life tool" and that there's a level of heroin use that can be considered "responsible". It's disgusting.

Free Dirty Needles, man. If these idiots are so hellbent on dying, let's speed it the f*ck along.

We seriously have to stop with this 'omg so stunning and brave' and 'we forgive/forget all the stupid **** you've ever done' just because they come out as (insert whatever here).
