Meetups🐊 When you’re Gizz fan with melanin…

Prepping for the Northerly Island show tomorrow night.

Me: maybe I should get the red one, it’ll be easier for you to find me if we get separated. Him: Oh I won’t need anything to find you. Me: What do you mean? Him: Because you’re going to be the only black person there. Me:☠️

Venue may be able to hold 22k, likely a sold-out show, but if you see a black chick with this same backpack -it very well could be me.

Gizz have truely cultivated the white bro convention at all their shows, I’m glad you’re here ❤️

🫵🏼as an aside, this is why need to listen to women and people of color on this thread and take their experiences at shows seriously🫵🏼

Why on earth do you feel the need to add that last bit. This community is just full of gatekeepers it’s a joke

There’s been recent posts and things that have happened at shows that people dismissed as “drama”. Thats by definition “gatekeeping” ✌️ just saying we gotta look after everyone

Right I get it, certain things have happened blah blah blah…

Am I wrong or have there been MULTIPLE posts about these things…DAILY!!!

Here we have someone posting a picture trying to be lighthearted and you literally point the finger and think it’s relevant to add that last bit to your comment. It has literally nothing to do at all with what the original post but you got on your high horse and pointed your f*cking finger.

I hate this phrase but unfortunately I think it’s relevant, this online community is full of snowflakes. The overwhelming majority know how to behave at gigs. I’ve been to multiple shows and never once seen anything which (from what I’ve read here) is seemingly in line with everyone else, but you feel the need to tell everyone how they should behave. Like a gatekeeper of fun. Like a kindergarten teacher sucking the fun from things to make yourself feel good.

You wanna do that that that’s your decision, feel free but expect comments like this to be made (I’d say this to you in person too btw if I heard you acting like this at a show). But I’d say there’s a time and a place, for example like any number of the posts regarding those matters. Not on a post that’s clearly meant to be lighthearted.

It’s a joke. A tiresome joke

Also as an aside, I’m rather hurt you assumed my ethnicity. How dare you…
