The explanation is the worst excuse I’ve ever heard.
It is the same as saying “I move across the street when I see a white man walking towards me”.

Lido Pimienta: I started asking men specifically to go to the back of the room because in my 15+ years of attending shows, both on stage and in the audience, men make it unsafe for me to be in such spaces. I'd have no problem with any of this if she laid out all the terms and conditions up front before she sold the tickets.
A person like this who clearly has a pathological fixation on race and gender is just a freak. Her "flags are out," so to speak -- and anyone can deal with her (or not) as they see fit. But if she sells front-row tickets to a concert at premium prices and then tells the people sitting there to move to the back after they've already purchased the tickets, then she's not just a freak but she's engaged in fraudulent business practices as well.

An ugly racist woman who is angry because she lacks talent and so blames white men.
I guess Hitler was an “artXst.”

Because this is a scheme to get honkeys to pay top dollar to “donate” seats to otherized people...
I’m happy to see this dreck remove itself from any pretense of normalcy.

I’ve been a musician for almost 40 years.
I’ve had dealing with countless musicians/artists/actors in my lifetime and can tell you that the overwhelming majority are truly f’d up narcissists.
This horrible singer/scam-artist is what happens when you give someone who spent the entirety of their lives being fat and unpopular too much attention and praise.

People of Color deserve safe spaces and it is your responsibility to help.people of color have 9/10ths of the world as a 'safe space.' So why are they invading the remaining 1/10th and then complaining about our safe space?

” As an immigrant, as an Afro-Indigenous person, as an intersectional feminist, as a mother and all of the other signifiers that qualify me as “other,” I understand what it is like to not see yourself in the media...”
So help me with translating this. Is she saying she’s a queer Black who somehow got a “diversity visa?”

“...men make it unsafe for me to be in such spaces.” Now imagine how this idea sounds if she specified at least one non-white ethnicity before “men.” Other examples abound.

Uncritically Racist theory privileges some of these people and their poisonous views.

Does she have a policy concerning "transgenders"? What about those whose gender identity is something "non-binary"? If I ever develop musical masochism and attend one of her shows, and I also happen to believe that I have an equal mix of male and female FEMXLE and deplorable, I have no gender, I belong to some third gender, or my gender oscillates by the minute, where am I supposed to stand?

From the stage point of view, I noticed how most men who plant themselves at the front, they tend to overpower ME. Their presence usually at my own show is a threatening one and I have had men grab me, grab my hands, grab my waist, scream "TE AMO MAMACITA."Notice that the semi-famous person demanding that Spanish-speaking men move to the back of the room is not one of those horrid "right-wingers."

Lido is a bigot of color.
To: Lonely Bull
Also imagine the reaction if some supposedly conservative performer had described Spanish-speaking men as having some “threatening presence.”. Oh, the xenophobia!

She doesn’t look bad to me. However, her mind is filled with new-age, feminista, racist gobbledegook, so I wouldn’t hit it anyway.
