One fellow cartoonist, Jimmie Robinson, said, “Get ready for this book to be challenged, and take it as a compliment when that happens.” Robinson is the author of a dark political satire series that shows a villainous, mostly nude, main character facing off with heroes and a certain former president. He was very well familiar with people misunderstanding and misinterpreting his work. He added, “Maybe go make some friends at the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was obviously already aware that queer, trans, and nonbinary narratives often receive pushback. I did brace myself, in 2019 when the book was released, for a certain amount of negative attention online, if not a full-on wave of internet hate. But it didn’t come. Instead, \u003cem>Gender Queer \u003c/em>was met with a wave of online love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13923273\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 676px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13923273\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/Screen-Shot-2023-01-04-at-11.07.10-AM.png\" alt=\"An illustration showing a person paddling in water.

As I toured six states and numerous bookstores in 2019, I received only positive, often heartwarming and deeply moving, feedback. People told me they related to \u003cem>Gender Queer \u003c/em>more than any other book they’d ever read. They told me it made them feel less alone. They told me they had shared the book with a parent, or a partner, or a friend, and it had opened up conversations they’d never been able to have before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='mindshift_59261']In 2020, \u003cem>Gender Queer \u003c/em>was given two awards by the American Library Association (ALA): a Stonewall Honor, and an Alex Award, which recognizes books published for adults that hold crossover appeal for readers “aged 12 to 18.” We headed into a second printing, then a third, then a fourth. By the time COVID shut down my comic convention touring, the book had been out for long enough that it was starting to get assigned in college classes.

Several conservative politicians made book banning a major talking point of their campaigns.

One fellow cartoonist, Jimmie Robinson, said, “Get ready for this book to be challenged, and take it as a compliment when that happens.” Robinson is the author of a dark political satire series that shows a villainous, mostly nude, main character facing off with heroes and a certain former president. He was very well familiar with people misunderstanding and misinterpreting his work. He added, “Maybe go make some friends at the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was obviously already aware that queer, trans, and nonbinary narratives often receive pushback. I did brace myself, in 2019 when the book was released, for a certain amount of negative attention online, if not a full-on wave of internet hate. But it didn’t come. Instead, \u003cem>Gender Queer \u003c/em>was met with a wave of online love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13923273\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 676px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13923273\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/Screen-Shot-2023-01-04-at-11.07.10-AM.png\" alt=\"An illustration showing a person paddling in water.

That’s how they keep growing. So I think if she didn’t have a sense of humor, maybe we wouldn’t connect with her as much.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The song has long been popular, but started topping charts recently\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The contemporary carol’s rankings have also been helped by \u003ca href=\"https://slate.com/culture/2019/12/mariah-carey-christmas-number-1-billboard-hot-100.html\">changes to Billboard’s chart rules\u003c/a> — specifically governing holiday music — over the last few decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In short, ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ has long been a smash waiting for the metrics to catch up,” Chris Molanphy \u003ca href=\"https://slate.com/culture/2019/12/mariah-carey-christmas-number-1-billboard-hot-100.html\">wrote for Slate in 2019\u003c/a>. “Separately this decade, Billboard rebooted its former Christmas minichart as the Holiday 100, and ever since its launch in 2011, the Holiday chart has basically been the Mariah chart.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/billboardcharts/status/1602363007828463643\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The song reached the Hot 100’s top 10 for the first time in Dec. 2017 and broke into the top five the following year. Its meteoric rise continued from there, as it’s held the top spot on the holiday charts (for two to three weeks straight) every year since 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The streak continues this year, marking the song’s ninth total week in the top spot. It expands its record for a holiday song’s most time at No. 1 (more than doubling the time that the previous leader, David Seville & The Chipmunks’ “The Chipmunk Song,” spent there in 1958 — the same year the Hot 100 launched).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carey called the news “such an amazing surprise and an early Christmas gift” in a \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/MariahCarey/status/1602611119276843008?s=20&t=0omQTGM8ezxgmiLlmttz0A\">celebratory tweet\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/MariahCarey/status/1602611119276843008\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Carey holds the (contested) Christmas crown\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The song is ruling other Billboard charts this week too, including the U.K. Singles Chart and the Billboard Global 200.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, YouTube Music \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/youtubemusic/status/1602740136344981506?s=20&t=7JKKyPVuXTWg778MTY7EQA\">announced Tuesday\u003c/a> that the song is No. 1 on the Top Songs U.S. chart and No. 2 on the Top Music Videos chart.

"content": "\u003cp>Silky, long, straight hair and lightly tanned skin. Thin, upturned noses and puffy, pouty lips.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s what a typical Latina looks like, according to the viral TikTok trend “\u003ca href=\"https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2022/11/11169730/copy-paste-latina-tiktok-trend\">copy-paste Latinas\u003c/a>.” This Eurocentric stereotype ignores the diversity of a group composed of every race, body type and hair texture that exists. The trend erupted in popularity in November, with TikTokers volunteering themselves as models for this combination of exoticized facial features and heavy, glamorous makeup — a callback to the “spicy Latina” cliche.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13919834']As one of the fastest-growing demographics in the U.S., Latinos are finally solidifying their presence in popular culture. This newfound attention has its downsides: Creators are using tired tropes to ride the wave of relevance — and some are even misrepresenting themselves as Latino for clout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And although Latinidad is a cultural identity that’s uniquely difficult to define, it’s being widely appropriated as fodder for content creation. Whether it’s the popularization of aesthetics like “\u003ca href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@amsiedad/video/7117006314991029509?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1&q=little%20mexican%20girl%20core&t=1670019670733\">little Mexican girl-core\u003c/a>” or Bad Bunny declaring “\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/06/arts/music/bad-bunny-un-verano-sin-ti.html\">now everyone wants to be Latino\u003c/a>,” there’s plenty of evidence the issue is pervasive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such co-opting can start with influencers and celebrities adopting styles associated with Latinidad, like large hoop earrings, or clothes inspired by the Cholo aesthetic derived from Los Angeles Chicano culture. It’s a gateway to adopting stereotypical mannerisms, ways of speaking, and attitudes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this isn’t as brazen as cultural mimicry like \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2020/apr/14/blackfishing-black-is-cool-unless-youre-actually-black\">Blackfishing\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"https://www.huffpost.com/entry/asianfishing_l_6283c26ee4b0c2dce6557958\">Asianfishing\u003c/a>, Latino-fishing — pretending to be Latino — warps what Latin culture is and who gets to create it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Latinx identity in mainstream music\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If you feel you’re hearing more music in Spanish than ever before, you are. “Latin music,” a category typically associated with genres like reggaeton, dembow and bachata, has seen a surge in popularity since 2015. Revenue and streaming numbers have been climbing steadily, thanks to the commercial success of artists like Bad Bunny, J Balvin, Rauw Alejandro, Maluma and Karol G.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Categorizing so many musical styles under one term fails to recognize their variety, individuality and deep historical origins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13919253']“‘Latin music’ is a term that I really hate. I think that it flattens everything that we are about and allows for Latino-fishing to happen because the umbrella term of Latin music encompasses reggaeton and dembow, and it’s mostly misconstrued as [only] that,” says Venezuelan-American poet, writer and music journalist E.R. Pulgar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When commercial entities market “Latin music,” they overlook genres that aren’t lucrative or well-known. Selecting a handful of sounds to represent an entire ethnicity gives an inaccurate picture of who creates “Latin music,” and who listens to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you take away all of that specificity and take away all of that history, you end up with a European wearing gigantic hoops on the cover of the ‘Viva Latino!’ Spotify playlist. And no one questions it,” says Pulgar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re referring to Rosalía, a key name in any discussion of Latino-fishing. The Spanish pop star and producer has gained global success from the genre-mashing music she sings in her native tongue, blending elements of bachata, reggaeton, champeta, neoperreo and other Latin genres.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The end result is the widespread misconception that Rosalía is Latina. It’s a narrative she’s had plenty of assistance in creating, including her repeated nominations and wins at the Latin Grammys, and her inclusion in Latin music roundups and playlists on streaming services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/B0bKH8ehi3X/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics point to Rosalía’s use of these genres and aesthetics as appropriation, a stark shift away from the flamenco-inspired music that made her famous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>‘I don’t know how many times I’ve had to explain to people that Rosalía’s not Latina,” Pulgar says. “It still shocks me. Do you not hear the accent? I don’t know if it’s a lack of [understanding of] geography. I don’t know if it’s the very successful marketing of it all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2021/07/10583721/is-rosalia-latina\">In an essay for \u003cem>Refinery29\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, Michelle Santiago Cortés cites other celebrities who profited from ethnic and cultural ambiguity, like Enrique Iglesias and Penelope Cruz in the late 1990s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13918498']“We could argue that, in their rise to fame, these individuals took advantage of the work of oppressed people responsible for the Latin Explosion and expanded the audience for Spanish-language music. But that assumes that the music and entertainment industries value Black and brown people, which they do not,” she writes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a more recent example, take Ariana Grande, who’s been criticized for cultural appropriation like using \u003ca href=\"https://www.newsweek.com/clip-ariana-grandes-changing-accent-confuses-fans-goes-viral-tiktok-1722049\">African American Vernacular English\u003c/a> and sporting \u003ca href=\"https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2019/01/223146/ariana-grande-fixed-misspelled-japanese-bbq-tattoo\">misinformed kanji tattoos\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, these corporate attempts at “coolness” have been more \u003ca href=\"https://www.vogue.com/article/the-problem-with-blackfishing-jesy-nelson\">quickly rejected\u003c/a> in the mainstream cultural conversation. Now, on uncurated platforms, misunderstandings of identity have become a trend for anyone to partake in on their social media, without a savvy audience willing to call it out.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The social media trickle-down\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The imitation or mockery of identity groups for attention has proved to be a consistent hit with social algorithms. With Latinos, this started \u003cem>within\u003c/em> the community, with videos centering on “hot Cheeto girls” appearing around 2020. The phenomenon painted Latina teenagers in public schools as loud, obnoxious and ghetto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Content like this was an easy win, because creators could appeal to anyone who had witnessed this stereotype. Add in trends like “copy-paste Latinas,” and you set the stage for the promotion of stereotypes and fetishization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" style=\"max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px\" cite=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@iluvd3ft0ness/video/7158818343850659118\" data-video-id=\"7158818343850659118\">\n\u003csection>\u003ca title=\"@iluvd3ft0ness\" href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@iluvd3ft0ness?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@iluvd3ft0ness\u003c/a> they be so pretty bruh😩 \u003ca title=\"fypシ\" href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/tag/fyp%E3%82%B7?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#fypシ\u003c/a> \u003ca title=\"♬ My humps - MARLEY NYC\" href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/music/My-humps-6765935697976134406?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">♬ My humps – MARLEY NYC\u003c/a>\u003c/section>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[tiktok]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, such public inside jokes have evolved.

This advanced, unjustifiably snooty species is in possession of a variety of alien accoutrements including “the tickling ray,” “sleep spray” and “retro rockets.” Despite this, their kids are depressed, refusing to eat and sitting around watching human TV all day, much to the chagrin of their food-pill-popping parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Concerned, Kimar, leader of the martians, consults with an 800-year-old sage named Chochem who tells them they need “a Santa Claus” to cheer up the kids. So the martians head to Earth, kidnap two children (named Billy and Betty because: 1964), fly to the North Pole and try to hunt Santa down. There are very low-budget encounters with a polar bear and a robot named Torg, as well as a brilliantly terrible slow-motion karate chop fight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13922356\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13922356\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/12/Bear-robot-800x495.jpg\" alt=\"(L) A human dressed as a polar bear.

When everything fails, rather than make any effort whatsoever to get his sleigh back to the North Pole, Santa decides to sit around and tell the children stories instead. What follows is a quietly sinister rendition of \u003cem>Thumbelina, \u003c/em>that includes terrifying mole people and — oh good! — a child marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once the (frankly astounding) movie-within-a-movie is over, back on the beach, a giant white rabbit shows up, roaring up in a giant red car full of kids. (This movie stands as a testament to the lackadaisical attitude towards parental supervision that ran amok during the 1970s.) The rabbit is in possession of all of the comforting charisma of Frank, the man-sized bunny from \u003cem>Donnie Darko\u003c/em>. He pledges to get Santa home in his car and … that’s it.

Naturally, Santa sets it on fire. This sends a signal to a whole army of dancing devils down in hell. Satan then sends one of them up to Earth to defeat Santa and try to get random children to do evil deeds. (One of the kids chucks a rock at Santa’s forehead and it is genuinely hilarious\u003cem>.\u003c/em>)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the battle between Santa and Satan, remarkably it’s Santa that ends up looking like the bigger creep most of the time. All the devil does is sabotage chimneys and tell kids to steal things. Santa, on the other hand, has a bunch of invasive monitoring equipment in his workshop, including a “teletalker that knows everything” and a machine that can see inside small children’s dreams. (WHAT.) At one point, Santa fires an arrow into the devil’s butt. By the time Santa has the cops called on him for breaking into people’s houses, it kinda feels justified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Could the filmmakers have worked a bit harder on the movie title? Sure.

This year, there were at least 170 (!) and all of them — every single one — were aimed at the broadest (blandest?) possible audience. Meaning: They were\u003cem> boring\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those of us who want Christmas movies that \u003cem>don’t\u003c/em> revolve around (a) romance, (b) coming home to a small town after living a big city, or (c) saving a local business, viewing options are few and far between. Which is why this year, I decided to lean into a few Christmas movies from bygone years that are so bizarre, you’ll wonder what your eggnog’s been spiked with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even better?

This advanced, unjustifiably snooty species is in possession of a variety of alien accoutrements including “the tickling ray,” “sleep spray” and “retro rockets.” Despite this, their kids are depressed, refusing to eat and sitting around watching human TV all day, much to the chagrin of their food-pill-popping parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Concerned, Kimar, leader of the martians, consults with an 800-year-old sage named Chochem who tells them they need “a Santa Claus” to cheer up the kids. So the martians head to Earth, kidnap two children (named Billy and Betty because: 1964), fly to the North Pole and try to hunt Santa down. There are very low-budget encounters with a polar bear and a robot named Torg, as well as a brilliantly terrible slow-motion karate chop fight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13922356\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13922356\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/12/Bear-robot-800x495.jpg\" alt=\"(L) A human dressed as a polar bear.

"content": "\u003cp>Before they even met, Tammy Wynette and George Jones were both supremely talented but breathtakingly messy humans. Once the country music legends got together (both personally and professionally), their chemistry was irresistible, but entirely too combustible behind closed doors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At his worst, Jones was selfish, violent and the most destructive of alcoholics. He ditched out on tours, fired guns at people in drunken rages and had zero qualms about driving under the influence — even if it was on a lawnmower because his wife had hidden his car keys. Wynette gave as good as she got: possessive, emotionally manipulative and addicted to painkillers and other prescriptions. The story of Jones and Wynette’s life together is one for the ages — even if their marriage only did last six years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13920514']Given that Wynette died in 1998 and Jones passed on in 2013, it’s a little surprising that the world has had to wait this long for a good fictionalized account of their story. (The 1981 TV movie \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNDFWFsn_kY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Stand By Your Man\u003c/em>\u003c/a> remains legendary for its terrible wigs, though.)

Once the country music legends got together (both personally and professionally), their chemistry was irresistible, but entirely too combustible behind closed doors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At his worst, Jones was selfish, violent and the most destructive of alcoholics. He ditched out on tours, fired guns at people in drunken rages and had zero qualms about driving under the influence — even if it was on a lawnmower because his wife had hidden his car keys. Wynette gave as good as she got: possessive, emotionally manipulative and addicted to painkillers and other prescriptions. The story of Jones and Wynette’s life together is one for the ages — even if their marriage only did last six years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
