Logocentric Podcast

LC#9: Celebrities and Activism


Listen Later

Welcome back to another episode of #Logocentric! In this episode, I'll be discussing when celebrities, artists, and athletes speak out on political issues and the outcry that follows. Are people like #DaveChappelle justified in speaking out on things like police brutality? Or when celerities made the #ITakeResponsibility video? How do you react when you hear one of your favorite artists, celebrities, or athletes speak out on an issue? Do you feel like it's justified or do you feel most of the time it's uninformed?  

We also discussed the psychological relationships between fans and the art and entertainment they enjoy, and how people can project their feelings and opinions onto artists. Sometimes leading to cognitive dissonance when artists make their opinions known and contradict the prior assumptions of the fans, and how that can play a role in the outcry to famous figures speaking out on political causes.
