    whataboutism is a common tactic for conservatives. instead of using it to condemn an action they use it to excuse it. their double standards have become so apparent that it doesn’t trigger any sort of cognitive dissonance when a Democrat is condemned for doing something a Republican already did. any sane person could make the argument “aren’t they both bad then?” and it will go completely unheard.

    they’re remembered differently because you can’t compare a legendary frontman from the 90s to a 1 hit wonder in the 2000s. they are definitely comparable as far as addiction goes but the quality of music? Amy winehouse had like 1 or 2 songs that got popular compared to the dozen or so hit songs that are still played regularly today while I can’t remember the last time I heard Amy winehouse played. it has absolutely nothing to do with her being a woman. there are so many amazing female musicians who’s music will be remembered with the same nostalgia as nirvana, Amy winehouse will simply never be one of them because she’s not that great in my opinion.
