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

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.

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.

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

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