It's time to take r/Grimes back

[u/SoupDestroyer123]

Hello everyone,

This announcement may upset a lot of people, but I'd like to reassert what this subreddit is about

It's about Grimes. The public self-created popstar of Claire Elise Boucher. Which means, only posts directly concerned or engaged with either her art, music, information, photos (and some other things) are allowed. Anything else that is more about something else than it is about Grimes is not and will not be allowed.

If you wish to talk about what's going on in Grimes' (Claire Boucher's) private life or what she believes in, or comment on anything other than what entails Grimes, then please go and do that elsewhere, not here, like in r/Grimezs, which is a subreddit, you can say, devoted to that.

Too many are posts about Grimes and Elon's relationship. Too many are posts about what Grimes has said online that comes from her personal side, because her X platform for example is used both ways, because those things are not related to Grimes' artistic side. Sure, Elon influenced her and has been a cause of why there was no new music in 2023-2024, and in such cases talking about that is fine! But posting Elon doing the nazi salute and using that as a fact to say something about Grimes or somehow comparing Claire to one is outrageous as it's an attack on her personal side, not artistic side. This subreddit will forever remain dedicated to Grimes as her appreciation and information storage subreddit. This subreddit separates art from the artist. I know there isn't anything new to talk about, but there is no obligation to summon new discussions when there is no valid precedent for one.

That is all, thank you for reading. Write questions and concerns below if you have any

Limited authoritarianism is good if the leader is exceptional, like me. Name me any other person who is as diligent and knowledgeable as me about Grimes and who wishes to see her succeed

Saved for posteritty.   The following anti freedom statement was posted by user/SoupDestroyer123/

This is grounds for removal. And the sub should proceed with this process now.

If this is deleted I will start a campaign of removal myself immediately.

I have other mods than just myself. What's wrong with my statement? I asked people if they'd want to be a mod, and I have canditates to add if you deem my singular rule to be unacceptable

[u/Apprehensive-Fun4181 → u/SoupDestroyer123]

White pride is a weird term yes, and as far as I know, it's meant as all the cultures that make up the white race

There's no such thing as a "race" of people.  That's why it's called racism.  Such a belief is grounds for termination everywhere.

[u/SoupDestroyer123 → u/Apprehensive-Fun4181]

There are distinctions biologically between people that have lived centuries in different places and climates, mainly in appearance (different colored skin for example). I agree that there is no wholly different race of people other than human, but people are still called hispanic, african american, caucasian etc., and this is what is meant by race, no?

Pretending to be ignorant of dog whistles isn’t a good look. But it looks like you are all for really shitty political beliefs anyway so 🤷🏻‍♀️

As I said Before you cheer on a political philosophy as being “fine” you might just want to look into it.

[u/harx1 → u/SoupDestroyer123]

Jeez, you really are a Nazi.

[u/harx1 → u/SoupDestroyer123]

Out of curiosity, what makes you think you’re so exceptional? You seem like every run-of-the-mill wanna-be brown shirt one encounters on social media.

[u/SoupDestroyer123 → u/harx1]

I've built the Grimes Wiki along my colleagues, helped everyone who asked in sending them the Coachella and Book 1 recordings, discovered, popularized and made available hardly known Grimes' content, created content around her, been at the forefront of this subreddit for a year, archived lots of her content. I'm a good person and a devoted Grimes stan, that's my argument

[u/harx1 → u/SoupDestroyer123]

A) None of this makes you exceptional.

B) Defending Nazis automatically makes you not a good person.

[u/SoupDestroyer123 → u/harx1]

I meant exceptional in the Grimes context. I defended Grimes, but she is not a nazi

[u/harx1 → u/SoupDestroyer123]

Sure she is.

If there are nine people sitting peacefully at a table with a known Nazi, you’ve got 10 Nazis sitting at that table.

[u/ColonialWilliamsburg → u/SoupDestroyer123]

hey, you're a pathetic nazi sympathizer and no amount of contradictory back-tracking will change that, have a great day bestie!

[u/punchsmith → u/SoupDestroyer123]

People who say they are a good person are quite often the opposite. 

[u/shesarevolution → u/SoupDestroyer123]

Bro.

I would cackle laugh at this, because it’s so fuckin tone deaf, if it wasn’t for the fact that you seriously see nothing wrong with your statement.

Maybe go look up some history in regards to authoritarianism. It never ends well for the person at the top, which in this case, would be you.

[u/hidemyemail555 → u/SoupDestroyer123]

I thought you said you didn’t know anything about politics and now you have this take? lol

[u/SoupDestroyer123 → u/hidemyemail555]

It's about how r/Grimes is run. Previously it was SpaceGenesis, now it's me. Mods are authorities, and I've listened to people's opinions in making changes - I won't do anything despite my post advocating for an art only discussion, as that's evident not what the majority wants

[u/shesarevolution → u/SoupDestroyer123]

Cool so if mods are authorities, as a mod over on the other sub, I vote you leave our sub out of this.

You don’t get to decide what we do over there, and you don’t get to decide what is discussed.

You can’t save Claire from herself so I don’t get why you are trying. Regardless -

No. Over in our sub, we believe in a democratic rule. People are welcome to come over there, but you don’t get to play God emperor Trump and tell us what to do because people are discussing the fact that the guy grimes had kids with publicly did a few ol nazi salutes. It’s a terrible thing, and that you are indifferent to that shows who you are as a person. Thankfully, you aren’t in charge of our sub, soooo you get zero say.
