It's time to cancel Joji.
Since his rise in 2017, K-Pop fans and mainstream music fans alike swooned over Joji, an ostensibly tortured, poetic soul, as he delivered moody, melodic chart-topping hits that broke barriers and tugged on the heart strings of sensitive music fans all around the world.
Nothing could be further from who he really is.
He marketed himself as an "easy going" artist with goals of "smashing barriers for Japanese Americans". But there's more to his checkered past than meets the eye.
What had Joji had been hiding behind those sonic, atmospheric hazy vocals and dreamy vast layered instrumentals?
That Joji is in fact, the racist hate comedian TVFilthyFrank.
That's right. The admonishable, grotesque shock comedian who we all assumed faded into unremarkable obscurity is the "sensitive", "race champion", "ground-breaking" Joji.
Hard to believe? Here is a side by side comparison of the two:
If you aren't familiar with Filthy Frank, his stunts include prolific use of the n-word and creating outlandishly offensive racial stereotypes. Joji conveniently used those stereotypes to profit and rise to stardom, only to do an about face and pretend to be some sort of gleaming beacon of representation for Asian Americans. No betrayal could be more severe in the midst the racial tension inflicted up on us by worst presidency this country has ever seen. Thousands of Asian Americans looked up to him when he represented the opposite of what they saw in him.
Did he think he could Run from his past? He may have been able to mask his true dark nature in a handsome shroud of enigma for some time, but in the end, all it took was a simple google search to reveal who he truly was.
And it isn't pretty.
He thought he could escape his past. But that's not how this works. In this age of Trump and #MeToo, do we allow ourselves to hold dear and admire a closet racist? I don't think so.
It's time to cancel Joji.
Fuck you and your hysterical authoritarian cancel culture bullshit. I usually don't buy music anymore and i dont think Joji is even that fantastic, but I'm definitely going to buy his music and support him. I hope and pray that leftists going too far with PC nonsense causes a massive backlash that ends cancer culture once and for all.
I honestly hate you as a person.
What a retarded article. "You don't believe it, here's a side by side comparison". Yeah, no shit. Filthy Frank is a character. What's next, "Time to cancel Josh Brolin for killing billions of people". Whoever wrote this article either wants easy clicks or is a dumbass. Look at your article being belittled at www.goatsedance.com
"Filthy Frank is the embodiment of everything a person should not be. He is anti-PC, anti-social, and anti-couth. He behaves and reacts excessively to everything expressly to highlight the ridiculousness of racism, misogyny, legalism, injustice, ignorance and other social blights. He also sets an example to show how easy it is in the social media for any zany material to gain traction/followings by simply sharing unsavoury opinions and joking about topics many find offensive.There is no denying that the show is terribly offensive, but this terrible offensiveness is a deliberate and unapologetic parody of the whole social media machine and a reflection of the human microcosm that that social media is. OR MAYBE IM JUST FUCKING RETARDED."
This is his…
