Joël Zimmerman, die we beter kennen als dj en producer Deadmau5, staat bekend om zijn uitgesproken mening. Vooral op social media uit de artiest zijn gedachten op regelmatige basis en dat was afgelopen week niet anders. Na een tweet over het niet begrijpen van vogue-ing - een dans groot geworden in de drag- en ballroomscene van New York, eind jaren tachtig - in wedstrijdverband, liep het helemaal uit de hand.
In een tweet uitte Deadmau5 zich afgelopen week over het niet begrijpen van vogue-competities. Dit deed hij, zoals altijd, vol overtuiging op Twitter.
here's another thing ill never fully understand.... competitive vogue-ing.

Of hij het nu echt niet begrijpt of de boel in de zeik neemt leek echter niet uit te maken, want het ging compleet los vanaf dat moment. We kunnen er veel over zeggen, maar je kan het beter zelf maar even checken.
Het ging er als volgt aan toe:

what does it have to do with gays? i said i didn't get it. How simpler does a concept have to be for you to not be offended? https://t.co/E6byeRJmdA

Not when it's disrespectful, no. People have asked you to educate yourself and you choose ignorance

When some LGBT folks were isolated and ravaged by HIV/AIDS-- not so long ago-- this was one way folks showed resilience and built community. https://t.co/h3JPTYZnsu

Translation: I'll never respect competitive vogueing. Why can't straight white men just leave Queer and POC alone? https://t.co/nGzXf4Mn7C

see. you just made that up all on your own. You should be proud of who you are, instead of a self-hating blame tossing, whatever-the-fuck. https://t.co/MZP1NqrWRa
