Critical support to Chappell Roan for speaking out but my criticism is that she said she’s still going to vote for Holocaust Harris, which undermines the message she was sending in the first place :(
“Chappell Roan” isn’t a real person, and therefore can’t have opinions or agency. “Chappell Roan” is a character invented by the entertainment industry. Famous people, celebrities and nearly everyone you see on TV is not a real person, they’re a simulation of a person, but the person they’re simulating doesn’t actually exist.
If Tom of Tom and Jerry fame posted a video in support of Israel, you wouldn’t think “Oh no! How could you do this, Tom?!” You’d think “who cares what a cartoon has to say?” Same thing with “Chappell Roan”.
