With Apologies to Sena Bryer

[lolnotacat]

My favorite part of all this is Sena is literally the opposite of Wuk's characterization.

Wuk: Nice, understanding, naive, wants to unite everyone.

Sena: Mean, bigoted, cynical, wants to divide everyone.

Out of morbid curiosity I wanted to see the responses she got and I saw this...I'm....yeah I don't have words. You got me, checkmate.

my knowledge of English and some cultural and social things is not enough to understand what Sena said wrong. Can you please explain in simple words?

So. That's NOT BLACK GOSPEL, simply put. Black Gospel is religious music that has certain particularities to it that define it as such - choruses are one of them, but there's a lot of others and I'm no music expert to give you details. But what I *can* give you is that there IS a MMO credits song made by the Japanese that basically does use Black Gospel and it's pretty great.

Compare that to Smile, and you'll see that it DOES NOT LINE UP. Smile is superficially similar to christian gospel music in the most base of senses, and is far more of just a disney song than aything else.

Hey, join the club man. I'm a South American and I've had people trying to explain to me how "ackshually, DT 100% represents latino culture and voices well by using american VAs from LA and tacos". Now you get to be black and be told by white americans that an apple is infact an orange! Feels great, eh?

Oh yeah, it feels wonderful. :')

As someone who has attended black Southern Baptist churches from birth to adulthood, I can tell you straight up that Smile is not "Black gospel music". At least, not the traditional gospel music that is unique to black Southern Baptists.

Like, just say it sounds like gospel music, Sena. There's no reason to bring race into this.

Oh, super cool! Thanks for sharing this song.

Simplest I can distill it:

Sena is saying anyone who doesn't like Smile is racist because it sounds like music played in churches attended by Black People.

Race was the only reason Sena brought this up. Typical DARVO tactic.

Oh, super cool! Thanks for sharing this song.

I'm glad you like it! As I'm not as much of an expert, could you please confirm to me if this is actually Black Gospel inspired?

[Lorika]

The most terrifying things is that i'm sure she convinced she's right.

Everyone in this video confirmed RACIST.
