grrlgeek72: eponinetheunafraid: wilwheaton: micdotcom: And the list goes on … It is *destroying* Cheeto Hitler that nobody who is worth a damn wants to be present for, or perform at, his inauguration.Good. Fuck him and his illegitimate presidency. I hope he’s miserable. Ok with this being said, I’d like to speak in defense of one of the groups that is performing for the inauguration. The Rockettes are being hired out to perform for him. These girls actively cannot turn down the job without being blacklisted from dancing. We shouldn’t be angry with those girls, who are trying to survive and live their dream and make an honest living, but rather the asshat who’s hiring them out, who I’ve heard has at least some connection to Trump, being a major Mogul who runs the agency that schedules performances for different dance companies and so on in NY. So I’m sorry if anyone disagrees, but I feel really bad for the Rockettes, because I have a friend who is being forced to perform at the inauguration if she wants to continue being part of the literal 1.4% of dancers in NYC to actually have a paying job they can live off of, and I know many of those girls are in the same situation, just doing what they have to to keep their jobs. So if you want to be angry, be angry at Trump and at the guy who is selling out the Rockettes for his inauguration. But please, do not boycott the Rockettes for this. They’re hardworking, talented women who don’t deserve to be shunned by their audiences just because they can’t do anything to refuse this job and still make a living to survive. Yeah. Don’t blame the victims of blackmail. -- source link
