I honestly and truly don't understand the vitriol some people have for Chloe Bailey or Megan Thee Stallion

Like, is it all based in hatred of their overt sexuality? Because there are other artists who are just as sexual, if not moreso and they don't get this level of hatred.

Is it the music? Because Meg had one of the best diss songs with Hiss and she's constantly releasing viral music.

As for Chloe, her last album wasn't bad and for people to keep expecting the same music she made with her sister, that just seems outlandish and insincere to how she has built her own branding. And her solo persona is definitely more sexualized than her duo, but nothing worse than what Miley Cyrus did when she left Disney.

Also, people keep blaming Beyonce for how Chloe's music sounds, as if her music sounds bad, when it honestly is completely on par with her peers. In fact she's been featured on her peers albums! Her verse on the Nasty remix is flawless.

Maybe I don't see an issue with either of them because their music is good, they're both beautiful, and they stay in their lane.

But some of y'all hate on them and I truthfully don't see the reason

#Hottakes 12: America, We Have a Problem! And it’s… streamers?!

It wouldn’t be a day at the Haven™️ if we didn’t talk about how men have a hand in the downfall of the world. To be more specific, America. While I’ve been on hiatus, I’ve been looking around on social media and noticed a shift in what we use. I see a lot of people shift to the streamer platforms like Clubhouse, Spaces, Twitch, etc. While initially these platforms weren’t harmful and a way to get closer with people and inevitably achieve some sort of success and fame within the process. The harm came when they tailored their platform to spread harmful rhetoric, what makes it scarier is the streamers are typically men who have built an audience talking to younger men. With what has happened as of late, I can’t help but think this plays a role in the state of current America whether that includes pop culture, politics, and behaviors towards women.

Streamers have always been a thing and had a community for years but the uprising has taken America by storm. I don’t give one streamer specifically credit for more so a behavior. Streaming was typically for gamers and it kind of turned into talk shows exclusively for men. It started with gaming, then talking to their audience, then talking specifically to their male audience, and somehow it ends in misogynistic alpha male talk. Women in these spaces are almost non existent as misogynistic rhetoric is often being spewed and women are being targeted. These streamers ideal target audience aren’t anyone but impressionable young boys from the ages of 12-17 years old, the formative years a young man. It almost reminds me of the argument the violent video games garnered towards little boys would make them act out said violent behavior, and not understand the difference between whats reality and fiction. Streaming has become the resurgence of this behavior, making it unsafe for women in online spaces and in real life. We’re often subjected to the rhetoric that they spew to these young impressionable men and are on the receiving end of their behavior to assert themselves as “alpha males”.

In pop culture, streaming has become prevalent as a lot of todays artists, athletes, and actors are starting to appear on any streamers live of their choosing. While it’s an opportunity for fans to see these figures in a different light and in a less intimidating setting, it feels like the fourth wall has been broken. The content that the post popular streamers push out are widely misogynistic and/or anti-black. Seeing the high profile celebrities that join their streams is a bit… questionable to say the least. The dynamic has changed and the rose colored glasses are off, celebrities who people once have thought the world of has now become scrutinized because of streaming. For example, Halle Bailey was once beloved and seen as the innocent sister between the Bailey sisters. Halle recently had a baby by popular streamer DDG and while that wasn’t the reason her image changed it who she had her baby by. DDG comes off like he hates Halle by bashing her sister, not telling her the child they share will be on his live stream, and making his fans attack her when she was rightfully upset. Online discourse surrounds her to this day behind the relationship to the point where her music or talent isn’t even a topic when bringing her up which is a stark difference compared to five years ago.

As streaming became more popular as of late, the violent behaviors to women has become more noticeable. These “Alpha Males” are giving advice to their audience (obviously not talking to women or girls) and it’s attempting to reinforce masculinity. Equating dominance, aggression, and emotional suppression with being a “real man”. Popular streamers with large followings often use humor to trivialize violence and disrespect towards women. Making it seem like this behavior is humorous or even entertaining.

Popular streamer Deshae Frost just recently did a live stream in Target, in the video he’s hitting on a girl who’s there with her family unbeknownst to him and he says to her that he’ll “F*ck the sh*t” out of her”… Are you ok??! The video progresses and the girls brother then presses him and says what he said to his sister wasn’t ok with him. He immediately gets intimidated and him and the female guest he had on the stream takes offense to what the brother is saying and rushes to say it was “just a prank” and “do you want an apology”… as if that girl wanted to be subjected sexual harassment to thousands of people and why were you so comfortable with using her as a subject for your twisted ‘humor’. Showing behavior like this desensitizes and trivializes the behavior and makes acting like a creep funny to his viewers and in the long term it may make his viewers adopt the same behaviors in real life.

Streaming influencers and streaming platforms are becoming a part of our culture whether we like it or not. While it brings opportunities for relatability, builds connections with their audiences, and is a form of entertainment, it has also enable harmful content that leads to the normalization of violence and disrespect towards women and reinforces toxic masculinity which we should all be concerned about especially in this climate. I think it’s safe to say the streamers are here to stay and the platform is rapidly growing. We’re shifting to new times in media and not gonna lie… it’s scary how much influence people in front of computer screens has on impressionable people and how they depend on these people to in a way, raise them??! We have some… interesting times ahead of us and I’ll definitely keep my eyes on how this trend evolves and its impact on pop culture.

What do you guys think?

Should we be concerned about streamers?

At what point do we draw the line of entertainment and responsibility?

I missed you guys so much! Thank you for waiting for me and supporting me throughout my hiatus. I can’t wait to write more for you guys and get this blog lively again!

Until then…

See you later🩷✨

[classycookiexo]

I completely agree, they’re both very talented as well but I do think that maybe they both needed a bit more time to bake as artists before doing their own thing

Plus I miss Chloe and Halle doing music together

Polygamy (Chloe x Halle)

You were the baby and Halle was the middle while Chloe was the boss woman of the relationship. You were happy with the Bailey sisters, so it didn't bother you.

"Y/n, I'm home" a woman said. You ran downstairs and seen Halle talking to Chloe.

"Hey baby" Chloe told you. She kissed you, seeing your red eyes and hugged you. "It's okay y/nn, I'm home now" she told you.

She lifted your head up to you and mumered sweet nothings to you as Halle rubbed your back.

Yes, you were in a relationship with the sisters and you loved it. They always babied you and treated you like you were a princess.

"Please stay home, Chloe. I have nothing without you or Halle" you said, laying your head on her chest. "Aw, you poor baby" Halle cooed, still rubbing your back.

Chloe picked you up, your body across her shoulder as she and Halle walked you into their room and laid you on the bed.

Halle sat on the left of you while Chloe was on your right, playing in your hair to calm you.

"How about we watch some movies tonight?" Chloe mumered into your ear. You nodded and the three of you watched movies until you were sleeping.

Something old on my wattpad account but gold- hope you all love and enjoyed. Sorry it's so short.
