NIghtmareElm 2,606 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I get why but why call it Moon Person? It's not sexist to call it Moon Man. Stop being so sensitive and PC. Also the VMAs are worthless, weak, and boring without Gaga. They at least better fake something controversial this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure they are gonna rain with "this is just for attention" but it's better to fish for attention for a good cause than faking a fight between Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj, right? Omg.

Yep, there is a video of Miley waiting for Nicki to stop talking, as if it was all scripted. to reply to her floating around, that initial video of her reacting with a shocked face was fake. If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrawberryBlond 14,881 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Oh, this is getting out of hand. "Moon Person" not only sounds like a word a child would dream up but it's also completely unnecessary. It's an inanimate object. Its gender is not important. I also disagree with the gender neutral awards. Part of the reason why awards are split up is so everyone has more chances of winning something. If they're all lumped together, your chances go down dramatically. Also, it means fans who have a favourite male and female artist have to choose between them when voting. There's so much content that deserves to be nominated that to put them all into one category would mean that 5 or more really good submissions will be left out. Separate them by gender and you have 5 amazing male choices and 5 amazing female choices, with both genders having an equal chance. Why should we make stuff gender neutral to accomodate the 0.01% of the world's population who identify as neither male nor female? So few of the people actually nominated will identify this way that it's utterly pointless. To have it in place to accomodate the hypothetical person who may or may not one day be nominated is pointless. For the purpose of awards shows, gender non-conformists, for God's sake, do everyone a favour and just tell the people in charge which gender you are biologically and deal with your work being judged in that category. Sometimes, telling people your biological gender is mandatory and this is one of them (please note, I'm not referring to the trans community when I say this as they are binary and whatever gender they identify as is the one that will be accepted as the biological gender in this case). Sometimes, it doesn't matter about what you feel in your head and heart, we just want to know the biological truth for a valid purpose. If you identify as male one day and female the next, sorry, you can't just pick and dip out of different gender categories, that's not fair on anyone. The solution is not to make gender neutral awards, the solution is that you get filed under the gender you biologically are. We can't change the rules because of one person who pops up every once in a blue moon demanding that people accept their constantly fluctuating gender identity through awards categories.

Haroon 49,685 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I mean I'm all for making things more open and stuff but this rename of the statue just doesn't sound good Like "moon man" had alliteration going for it and "moon person" doesn't roll off the tongue I don't have any better alternatives though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
