The X-Factor voting public tends to be an older demographic than yer streamers and music buyers, innit.

Was possibly my favourite ever X Factor moment, when Cardle won and One Direction came on stage to congratulate him, Harry Styles gave Cardle a big hug and said in his ear, just loud enough for the mics to pick up, “You’re going to get so much pussy for this”.

Aww, my memory made it better than it was.

Still good though.

In that case, how come Little Mix won? Were they up against a similar group? Or had times changed?

#137

They changed it so you could vote online/through an app I think, because Cowell was sick of people who couldn’t make him money winning it.
Also little mix were better singers than one direction, which helps with the older vote

Wasn’t Honey G a joke about white people rapping?

are racists not just ill people being exploited?

#143

seems a bit reductive to me

#145

yeah but stupid and ignorant people are more likely to be racist.

Nobody with half a decent education and a brain could possibly be racist, it’s such a stupid concept.

Do you want to defeat racism or just point the finger and feel good?

Your world, your choice.

fucking shit world

maybe this isn’t helpful,

but we were all babies once and had such hopes and potential. Some of us were corrupted by our environment and education and genes and ended up with terrible views, isn’t that awful?

#156

I should know better but I find this hard to believe. I’m haunted all the time by the harm I’ve caused other people, guess I’m projecting. Hopefully we will all be dead soon anyway and there can be some peace at last.

don’t even know who that is!

MORGOTH: Oh man I am so sick of Honey G all the time, it really boils my blood god why do I keep hearing her everywhere and the X Factor in general you know here’s my hot take music was better in the olden days when music distribution wasn’t dominated by corporations you know like in the seventies and eighties whereas now it all is because of the X Factor

BILL: Well there’s a certain irony to what ur sayin…

MORGOTH: I’m so sick of the X Factor and its ubiquity, you know. Like here’s my totally original suggestion, in the future music will be performed by ANDROIDS and all the music will be composed on COMPUTERS. I know you think that’s a really original science-fiction satirical premise but actually if you look at the world we live in it’s actually quite an incisive observation I’m makin

BILL: couldn’t you just like not watch X Factor and find music you like

SOME OTHER TEDIOUS CYPHER: Wow that’s a good point, we should BE LIKE BILL

BILL: omg that is such a dated reference

and the next day at dawn, everyone on the western side of the planet agrees to jump at once so that the planet is pushed out of its position and towards the sun which is rising to the east and that, YOU GUESSED IT, ENGULFS US ALL IN ITS LETHAL HUG OF SOLAR DEATH
