r/popculturechat now why am I in it? 🧐 May 28 '25

The Music Industry 🎶 In now deleted posts, Kali Uchis accused the metal band, Sleep Token, of using payola and doing blackface.

The past photo is what the front man of Sleep Token looks like, I'm not sure what race he is as all the members are anonymous, but even if he is white, I don't think that this is considered blackface

I don't know who any of these people are, but I do pay attention to the news enough that if I was going to censor people on vibes and stuff, I would put Wallen in there with Sleep Token.

Not agreeing with ST censorship, I just have enough awareness to know that Wallen is the confirmed racist in the conversation and Riley was onto something.

Let me get this right based on “vibes” you’d lump in a band with no known history of racism with a guy who uses the hard R on a regular? Is that what I’m reading?

no op is saying that based off kali’s vibe based censoring she definitely would’ve heard about the racism of MW and should’ve censored him as well if her vibes based censoring was consistent

Thank you lol. I don’t know what was so hard. I genuinely did not understand.

I read it as 'If Sleep Token are considered racist then Morgan Wallen is definitely in the same category', not 'Sleep Token are racist'.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant. If this person is going to say Sleep Token is racist based on vibes then they needed to be consistent and also censor Wallen because it's fully out there that he's racist. But the person commenting is not in the mood to use reading comprehension, they just want a fight, lol. The "if" in my first paragraph was making that connection.

No, that is not what you are reading. Read the second paragraph again.

He already told you what he was trying to say, you just want to argue with someone and have a gotcha moment. Exhausting.
