@isittherightword: CRITICAL CONDITION | Olivia Rodrigo and the New Purity Culture: The Rise of Progressive Moral Policing On this week's episode of Critical Condition we are talking about weaponized progressivism and projected capitalist shame on young female pop stars. From funding reproductive healthcare on the Guts World Tour to her recent donations at Daisy Chain Fields, Olivia Rodrigo is one of the most politically active figures in pop music. Yet, she is still subjected to relentless progressive moral policing over everything from her wardrobe to her dating life. Because ethical consumption under capitalism is impossible, the internet projects its collective shame onto young female pop stars, treating them as receptacles for societal guilt. 🎙️ Catch the full episode of Critical Condition on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you stream. #CriticalCondition #OliviaRodrigo #DaisyChainFields #GenZ #PopCulture

I’m convinced the “babydoll dress controversy” was just bots because she’s so active for certain causes.

Girl have you heard of her concert in the PH? She sold her ticker for around 24 dollars only and all ticket sales went to a women and children's foundation! Definitely a gift to her fellow Filipinos

Her being a woman of color also adds another lens to level of criticism she is getting and it’s so ridiculous cause she’s putting in the work and at such a young age

💯💯 also, the vast majority of fans WANT pop stars to speak up & help others & take a stand. some folks are choosing to remain silent because they're beholden to their corporate masters and want to keep the money coming in, and sadly that's more important to them personally. it's really cool that olivia is rejecting that and that should be respected.

Makes me think of Dolly giving away millions of dollars over lifetime, very quietly, for the things that mattered to her. What a lovely legacy

i’ll be honest, i was not a fan cuz of how the driver license/sabrina drama went down but i have been converted, with the taylor drama and her talking bout palestine and PP and this DCF like she is one of the REALEST girls in the business rn and lowkey ever. i need to get into that discography.

Olivia Rodrigo is getting it right in a way a lot of people never do. It’s honestly inspiring.

genuinely most, if not all, of the hate against her is from swifties and pr smear campaigns, and the ppl that fall for them. like its all online tbh most ppl out in the real world like her or are neutral about her. its so insane how online discourse is really just a fake illusion. its not reallllll

"people are not comfortable with the things in themselves that are bad, so they have to rationalise then and suppress them - and bevause they have that shame, they push that aside and say 'oh! I see it in you'" ---- A+ takes as always Shay
