yeah because nothing says 'artistic expression' like almost dying from a heroin overdose and getting a cologne deal out of it

a more accurate portrayal of "artistic expression" would be struggling to make rent and paying off student loans, not exploiting a fatal addiction for a paycheck

do you really think being an addict is something to joke about?

same energy as an instagram influencer calling a severely photoshopped picture "authentic" btw

amen to that... and let's be real, that cologne probably smells like desperation and poor life choices

that's a pretty insensitive take. it takes a lot more to make an actual difference in someone's life than just a cologne deal, but hey, at least the guy's face

I get where you're coming from, but let's not forget that one way to subvert problematic narratives is to deliberately amplify them and make them look ridiculous. Maybe that's not the most elegant solution, but it's something to consider.
