What black Americans seem to be forgetting is that Tyla is a South African artist doing South African music. She was an international superstar BEFORE she ever went to America. Trying to cancel her because she refuses to erase herself out of existence to appease them simply won't work simply because America DID NOT make her, so America CANNOT break her. Even though SOME of them may not want to support, she just finished touring Malaysia, Japan, & South Korea, thereby proving that she DOES NOT NEED the support of a handful of bitter black people in America. Even in America she has had several performances in front of predominantly white and other non black audiences who are not so fussy about her racial identity as black Americans are. The smart people will accept her for who she is and enjoy her music, while the bitter ones will keep obsessing about her race and miss out on the good music that everybody else is enjoying. They are delusional to think that they actually have any kind of power to cancel her music career. Her recent tour outside of America in spite of their hate and attempts to cancel her proves that they can't, because she is an international super star with or without them. Tyla should just change her marketing strategy to target those who love her and love her music regardless of her racial identity, while leaving the rest behind. Black Americans form only 13 percent of the total population of America. Out of that 13 percent, maybe half of them hate her. She should ignore them and focus on the other half plus the remaining 87 percent of the people in America who definitely enjoy her music. Once again, Tyla is a South African artist doing South African music. Without South Africa, there is no Tyla. Without America, she is STILL an international super star. Period.

Somehow the Black Americans think they own the term black. In SA being black more than just a Colour. There's history, ancestry, religious and cultural practices, language etc. Same as being Coloured.
At least south africans dont deny their genetic makeup. Mixed ethnicity. Does she have to please black america by denying who she is? I am mixed European with south african indigenous... and guess what america? i am not black enough to be black and not white enough to be white so my identification is WHAT TYLA SAID, COLOURED (COLORED as per your spelling)
This is a very tricky subject, thank you for talking about this. SA's BEE policies even refer to 'Coloured'...Tyla is so lovely. Let's appreciate her for her talent.
We are south Africans and on our id's we are classified as Coloured. What is wrong with the Americans. You classified as something tin uour country. In iur country we are classified Coloured. And we are proudly coloureds and so is Tyla. A proud coloured girl from South Africa. Why must she pretend to be something else. Just leave our star alone. If you don't have anything nice to say. Dont say anything, please 🙏 We love you Tyla.. you making us proud. Coloured south Africans.
A colored race is ridiculous Indian, white, black, Chinese those are races but you are a mixed between 2 races how does that make you another race all together ?
It’s common in South Africa to use this term. There are whites and other races in South Africa. She was being proud by acknowledging this. The cultural ignorance is ridiculous.
Girl I am Cameroonian and I was raised in South Africa by coloureds and I did not have a problem with it because I considered them as Africans and respect and love their culture and way of speaking ,now I talk English and Afrikaans together
Africans are Africans not black. Black is a word used by foreigners to erase our different tribes. I’m African but I’m not black even though others may call me black.
the blacklash against coloured from americans is because of the one drop rule in america, creole people were kinda simliar to coloured people but because of the lousiana purchase creoles became one dropped into blackness and now creole culture is dying off. most creoles are barely part of their own culture. i think they are attempting to do the same with coloured people, thats why tyla has to became a black woman instead of coloured, they say that coloured is offense but theres an entire term called POC (people of color) that is used in america.. i dont think they are offended by the word coloured but that she wont one drop herself into blackness or that theres a culture of people that wont subscribe to the racist one drop rule (when i say similar i dont mean the exact same, just that coloured and creole are both mixed race groups of people that have a culture of their own)
@loveangelmusicbabylamb well that's kinda sad, they'll never get to us, even here in southafrica there are people who want us coloureds too forget where we came from and claim us, truth is, is that we too proud of a culture to listen to ppls kak, and tyla should think that way aswell, Americans can't claim her bc she's not theirs, I'm not saying all Americans are like that btw, that would be unfair of me, but the ones who are trying to are dumb, we don't needa do shit they just needa realize that this is life, when u step outside ur house shit around you changes, and as a coloured tyla nor the other coloureds shouldn't give up our culture bc ppl won't get over themselves
@@meisgoofy i agree! not all americans but the one drop rule is DEEP in american culture esp black culture. im glad coloureds is fighting back, thats what you have to do, dont back down. i look up to coloured cultures, i wish that creoles were as proud now as you guys are. (theres a few but not many, beyonce was once proudly creole but she stepped away from mentioning it as much due to the backlash) 🩷 im going to sub, i just found your channel and i really like your content!
@@loveangelmusicbabylamb That one drop rule stuff will never work on coloured people in South Africa because South African coloured people have a strong culture and mechanisms like language that makes it impossible for them to just be destroyed like what was done to Creole culture in America. I know that coloured culture and Creole culture in America is very similar. Also, they can never erase Tyla's identity from her. Even though they were able to convince her to say that she is black when in America, that doesn't change who she is at her core. Forcing Tyla to say that she is black in America is about as nonsensical as saying that a white man from Europe is black when in Africa and Asian when in Asia. Tyla is coloured no matter where in the world she is. She recently toured Malaysia, Japan, and South Korea. That DOES NOT MEAN she became Malaysian in Malaysia, Japanese in Japan, or South Korean in South Korea. She was and will always be coloured. Funny how no one in any of the places she toured were as fussy about her identity as some black Americans are. Black Americans are literally in their feelings over someone else's culture. That's someone else in an entirely different country on an entirely different continent. South Africa is not the same as America. South African black people are not as insecure in their blackness as American black people tend to be. In fact, South African black people are so secure in their blackness that they don't even need Tyla or any other mixed person to be black. Also, blackness is not as cheap and easily accessible in South Africa as it tends to be in America. Having said that, South African black people know and understand coloured people very well. They accept them for who they are. During the recent attacks on Tyla's coloured identity by black Americans, South Africans black people even defended Tyla and did their best to try to educate black Americans about coloured people in South Africa. Yes, there are some anti coloured black people in South Africa who have the same kind of mindset that black Americans have, but they are not that many and their efforts to erase the coloured identity amounts to absolutely nothing. They are too insignificant to even be a factor. Ultimately, no one will be able to change coloured culture, or redefine coloured identity. That's just not possible.
And it's always NON South Africans making it about colourism. They cant tell the difference between a light black SAn and a dark Coloured SAn. We can mos be darker than black people and we all accept that. They also want to act like they would have suffered in Apartheid but they conveniently leave out that Black Americans got "Honorary White Status" as did Brits. ER Braithwaite wrote a book about it.
I'm Swahili people describe us mixed when ever I read historical things its more of a recent creation because genetically we have seperate influences but we really as just trades on the coast interesting why people try to summarise a 7 million strong group in Southern Africa....
I'm from Atlanta, USA, Georgia and I'd like to humbly apologize for the way so many African Americans are treating Tyla. I don't know what's wrong with so many of us. We seem to think that the whole world is supposed to bend to American will, and it's frustrating to witness the narrowmindedness of many black Americans. I worked a long time on my small TH-cam channel and my Facebook, which is all about the Africa You Won't See On TV, and SA is featured a lot. I, personally, started with amapiano years ago with Paige, Nkosazana Daughter, and just about any and everything under the umbrella of Wanitwa Mos. And who doesn't love Twashala Bam and so much more? My friends can't get enough of South African music and culture, so much so till we even started a study group to TRY to learn isiZulu and Xhosa. Many of us are in love with South Africa. I know a lot of South Africans ARE NOT in love with us, but that's alright. Before this gets entirely too long, I'd like again to apologize for our bad behaviour. God bless South Africa. enuf said. L
Im a Zimbabwean who grew up in south africa and i honestly think that the foncept might be hard for some ppl who arent used to that term being thrown around so casually whereas there in America they avoid it BUT it is honestly also a thing of entitlement at this point AND uneducation like that paragraph Tyla posted explaining this shouldve been ebough but all of a sudden it was just her trying to get black privileges. Like WHAT she has black blood she is a mixed person whats the issue
@JJi-s2n yeah, I get it but my problem with America is that, I understand that the term may be strange and upsetting but even after thousands of South africans including coloureds explained it, they still wanna claim us like the world revolves around them, and my biggest problem is that we for so long allowed them to say and do what evers to our country and now South africans wanna put their foot down, in the end they gonna have to back down, which is gonna happen pretty soon by the looks of it, an they gonna have to sit their asses down and move on, but also they being racist asf to coloureds, like wtf.
@@meisgoofyI’m not colored but I am a mixed East African woman living in America and one of the main reasons for this is how racist Black Americans are towards mixed people in general. My life here has been a living hell because of this, it’s extremely normalized and sometimes white people and other people of color will pick up on this and join in. I’m looking for a way to leave this country because of this. Racism against mixed people is normalized here which is why they feel comfortable talking about you guys like this. It’s not even considered racism when the reason they target people is because they are mixed which is so dehumanizing.
@divinebeaute wow, I'm so so sorry for what you went through, I hope u do get a better place to move to. That's just terrible what u went through, i actually didn't know they were like this to other mixed-race people in America, too😭
@@meisgoofy thank you so much💕😭 i didn’t know either before moving here because it’s not talked about at all. mixed people are shut down every time they try to stand up for themselves and raise awareness about what we go through because the one-drop rule is still engrained in most people’s minds. it’s an extremely taboo topic especially in the black american community, which is why they’re lashing out at Tyla. i only found out about how poorly we’re treated here after moving and i lived in France and I was born and raised in Africa prior to moving here, nobody was racist to me for being mixed before I moved to this country.
@@divinebeaute I have encountered a few of those kind of people on the internet. In fact, I just spoke to one yesterday when I once again had to defend Tyla. When you corner them with the facts they always deny that they are anti mixed people. Then they claim that mixed people in America are free to identify as mixed. I know that it is a lie. They like to claim the accomplishments of mixed race people as their own and one drop rule them into blackness. People like Beyonce, Barrack Obama, Rosa Parks, Booker T Washington, Frederick Douglass, Alicia Keys, Malcolm X, and others like them claim them as fully black and claim their achievements as their own. What's funny as that they are quick to claim every mixed person as black and then they actually want to lecture actual black people from South Africa about blackness.In Africa, black people tend to know the difference between what it is to be black and what it is to be mixed. No self respecting black person in South Africa would ever claim a mixed person as black because it would be disrespectful to their own blackness and their own black culture.
What the hell is wrong with everyone why are they hating tyla over how she identifys herself we as coloureds don't have the same history like the black people in the us they are complaining about being called coloured is offensive to them but they are saying tyla should let go of her coloured culture just because she's in the us what the fuck now your being offensive towards our culture stop posting mean shit about tyla and come to South Africa to find out what coloured culture is
I dont understand why people are upset about tyla saying she is coloured , i mean ... im also a mix and South African, i dont think it a problem with that , you all so dramatic
This whole drama between Tyla and Kai is becoming so stupid like come on now I understand yall love kai but being rejected is normal everyone goes thru that it doesn’t ,Ean that you have together rid of them just cause they messed with ur idol like no don’t do that💯💯💯
Well first of all you can't really call it music --- like the rest of this genre ----- its not singing or have any real tune to hum to in the shower ----- it's actually called MAKES-YOU-SIC
I feel like for tyla she should just be humble period.epic is giving us a picture that she is a very big artist yet in actual sense she doesn't even do number non of her new songs in her album Even reached billboard hot 100 😂 she sold less than ice spice her first week despite winning a Grammy for releasing an album,she was literally every where every country, every tv show, performing every where in still sells only 24k units😂
I’m American and I never noticed that anybody was trying to cancel her… I think she gets looked over because her music sounds the same and is kind of boring.
Let's be honest, America made her a superstar especially with the controversial Grammy Award. Don't call me a hater fir soeaythe truth. If u think Im wrong, then can u show us her achievements for which she was a superstar prior to the Water song that won her a Grammy award?
@@WellokStar-yp3vu That Grammy and every other award she won, and will continue to win are just an acknowledgement of who she is. It didn't make her anything she wasn't already. If awards make you a superstar, what about other superstars who never won anything yet are still superstars? Stop being dense.
@elroyswarts2337 shut up. Was she called the best African artist of the year before the grammy? Was she ever regarded as better than artists like Davido and Buna Boy before the grammy? Was it not the grammy that gave her that fake rating even though the majority of us Africans know that she is not as good as them? Would she have been this popular, assuming the award went artist like Ayra Starr? Of course, the Grammy made her what she is.
Black Americans are wise about her She do not represent them. South Africans especially the black ones forgot how much black Americans demonstrated for their freedom and bring about awareness about their suffering while people like tyler scorned them. Black Americans are honest about how they feel about her. Good for them. It's time we, as the True Blacks, take a stand.

@@abigailmndebele7892 saw this comment and, and needed to explain somthing the reason why coloureds (including me) are so upset by this is bc, we built a culture around the word "coloured" and we very excepting of that fact, a good about of us are just going abt life not thinking abt that shit, but also it's very very verrrry unfair to try and to take us away from our culture, to tell a coloured to wipe who they are is just terrible, and its also very racist, no like literally u google it and google will also tell u that this, what us coloureds are experiencing is another form of racism. its ok to not want to be coloured, 100% ok, but its not ok to enforce that on to us aswell. i think it's 100% ok if we wanna be "out dated" according to some people.

@loveangelmusicbabylamb well that's kinda sad, they'll never get to us, even here in southafrica there are people who want us coloureds too forget where we came from and claim us, truth is, is that we too proud of a culture to listen to ppls kak, and tyla should think that way aswell, Americans can't claim her bc she's not theirs, I'm not saying all Americans are like that btw, that would be unfair of me, but the ones who are trying to are dumb, we don't needa do shit they just needa realize that this is life, when u step outside ur house shit around you changes, and as a coloured tyla nor the other coloureds shouldn't give up our culture bc ppl won't get over themselves
@@meisgoofy i agree!
not all americans but the one drop rule is DEEP in american culture esp black culture. im glad coloureds is fighting back, thats what you have to do, dont back down.
i look up to coloured cultures, i wish that creoles were as proud now as you guys are. (theres a few but not many, beyonce was once proudly creole but she stepped away from mentioning it as much due to the backlash)
🩷 im going to sub, i just found your channel and i really like your content!
@loveangelmusicbabylamb I totally agree with you, and thank you for the subs, and I see how deep it is in America 😭wayyy too deep
@@loveangelmusicbabylamb That one drop rule stuff will never work on coloured people in South Africa because South African coloured people have a strong culture and mechanisms like language that makes it impossible for them to just be destroyed like what was done to Creole culture in America. I know that coloured culture and Creole culture in America is very similar.
Also, they can never erase Tyla's identity from her. Even though they were able to convince her to say that she is black when in America, that doesn't change who she is at her core. Forcing Tyla to say that she is black in America is about as nonsensical as saying that a white man from Europe is black when in Africa and Asian when in Asia. Tyla is coloured no matter where in the world she is. She recently toured Malaysia, Japan, and South Korea. That DOES NOT MEAN she became Malaysian in Malaysia, Japanese in Japan, or South Korean in South Korea. She was and will always be coloured. Funny how no one in any of the places she toured were as fussy about her identity as some black Americans are. Black Americans are literally in their feelings over someone else's culture. That's someone else in an entirely different country on an entirely different continent.
South Africa is not the same as America. South African black people are not as insecure in their blackness as American black people tend to be. In fact, South African black people are so secure in their blackness that they don't even need Tyla or any other mixed person to be black. Also, blackness is not as cheap and easily accessible in South Africa as it tends to be in America. Having said that, South African black people know and understand coloured people very well. They accept them for who they are. During the recent attacks on Tyla's coloured identity by black Americans, South Africans black people even defended Tyla and did their best to try to educate black Americans about coloured people in South Africa. Yes, there are some anti coloured black people in South Africa who have the same kind of mindset that black Americans have, but they are not that many and their efforts to erase the coloured identity amounts to absolutely nothing. They are too insignificant to even be a factor.
Ultimately, no one will be able to change coloured culture, or redefine coloured identity. That's just not possible.
The 1 drop will never work in South Africa
I'm praying for her. This industry wants to drag everyone down.
Who ever is saying shit about tyla jealousy is killing about her game
And it's always NON South Africans making it about colourism.
They cant tell the difference between a light black SAn and a dark Coloured SAn. We can mos be darker than black people and we all accept that.
They also want to act like they would have suffered in Apartheid but they conveniently leave out that Black Americans got "Honorary White Status" as did Brits. ER Braithwaite wrote a book about it.
Hhhey!!AMA COLOURED AMA COLOURED,FULL STOP
oof, u better sick too your word, don't let them make u eat your words
I'm Swahili people describe us mixed when ever I read historical things its more of a recent creation because genetically we have seperate influences but we really as just trades on the coast interesting why people try to summarise a 7 million strong group in Southern Africa....
I'm from Atlanta, USA, Georgia and I'd like to humbly apologize for the way so many African Americans are treating Tyla. I don't know what's wrong with so many of us. We seem to think that the whole world is supposed to bend to American will, and it's frustrating to witness the narrowmindedness of many black Americans. I worked a long time on my small TH-cam channel and my Facebook, which is all about the Africa You Won't See On TV, and SA is featured a lot. I, personally, started with amapiano years ago with Paige, Nkosazana Daughter, and just about any and everything under the umbrella of Wanitwa Mos. And who doesn't love Twashala Bam and so much more? My friends can't get enough of South African music and culture, so much so till we even started a study group to TRY to learn isiZulu and Xhosa. Many of us are in love with South Africa. I know a lot of South Africans ARE NOT in love with us, but that's alright. Before this gets entirely too long, I'd like again to apologize for our bad behaviour. God bless South Africa. enuf said. L
I’m like… ‘why they said fvck me fir”??? 😂😂😂
Im a Zimbabwean who grew up in south africa and i honestly think that the foncept might be hard for some ppl who arent used to that term being thrown around so casually whereas there in America they avoid it BUT it is honestly also a thing of entitlement at this point AND uneducation like that paragraph Tyla posted explaining this shouldve been ebough but all of a sudden it was just her trying to get black privileges. Like WHAT she has black blood she is a mixed person whats the issue
@JJi-s2n yeah, I get it but my problem with America is that, I understand that the term may be strange and upsetting but even after thousands of South africans including coloureds explained it, they still wanna claim us like the world revolves around them, and my biggest problem is that we for so long allowed them to say and do what evers to our country and now South africans wanna put their foot down, in the end they gonna have to back down, which is gonna happen pretty soon by the looks of it, an they gonna have to sit their asses down and move on, but also they being racist asf to coloureds, like wtf.
@@meisgoofyI’m not colored but I am a mixed East African woman living in America and one of the main reasons for this is how racist Black Americans are towards mixed people in general. My life here has been a living hell because of this, it’s extremely normalized and sometimes white people and other people of color will pick up on this and join in. I’m looking for a way to leave this country because of this. Racism against mixed people is normalized here which is why they feel comfortable talking about you guys like this. It’s not even considered racism when the reason they target people is because they are mixed which is so dehumanizing.
@divinebeaute wow, I'm so so sorry for what you went through, I hope u do get a better place to move to. That's just terrible what u went through, i actually didn't know they were like this to other mixed-race people in America, too😭
@@meisgoofy thank you so much💕😭 i didn’t know either before moving here because it’s not talked about at all. mixed people are shut down every time they try to stand up for themselves and raise awareness about what we go through because the one-drop rule is still engrained in most people’s minds. it’s an extremely taboo topic especially in the black american community, which is why they’re lashing out at Tyla. i only found out about how poorly we’re treated here after moving and i lived in France and I was born and raised in Africa prior to moving here, nobody was racist to me for being mixed before I moved to this country.
@@divinebeaute I have encountered a few of those kind of people on the internet. In fact, I just spoke to one yesterday when I once again had to defend Tyla. When you corner them with the facts they always deny that they are anti mixed people. Then they claim that mixed people in America are free to identify as mixed. I know that it is a lie. They like to claim the accomplishments of mixed race people as their own and one drop rule them into blackness. People like Beyonce, Barrack Obama, Rosa Parks, Booker T Washington, Frederick Douglass, Alicia Keys, Malcolm X, and others like them claim them as fully black and claim their achievements as their own. What's funny as that they are quick to claim every mixed person as black and then they actually want to lecture actual black people from South Africa about blackness.In Africa, black people tend to know the difference between what it is to be black and what it is to be mixed. No self respecting black person in South Africa would ever claim a mixed person as black because it would be disrespectful to their own blackness and their own black culture.
So let her go to the South African Awards then
What the hell is wrong with everyone why are they hating tyla over how she identifys herself we as coloureds don't have the same history like the black people in the us they are complaining about being called coloured is offensive to them but they are saying tyla should let go of her coloured culture just because she's in the us what the fuck now your being offensive towards our culture stop posting mean shit about tyla and come to South Africa to find out what coloured culture is
@@Martin-d5b3b exactly
Come back home lala, South Africans loves you nana❤❤
We didnt forget what she said, tshotsho tsk
Do you make this on your phone? Its well done regardless
@@BLACKGUMS711 mostly yes, and thank u very much
I dont understand why people are upset about tyla saying she is coloured , i mean ... im also a mix and South African, i dont think it a problem with that , you all so dramatic
A lot of people from America know about apartheid… at least from my perspective. I’m not black either.
@jonathanm7093 then why are they acting surprised???
@@meisgoofy Either they were never taught in school or they’re just ignorant. A lot of Americans believe we are the center of the universe.
This Is The Problem When You Are Made In The LAB...
This whole drama between Tyla and Kai is becoming so stupid like come on now I understand yall love kai but being rejected is normal everyone goes thru that it doesn’t ,Ean that you have together rid of them just cause they messed with ur idol like no don’t do that💯💯💯
No, she's not making waves, and there's.......nothing really....😂😂make water is all that she had
No she must go to nigeria😂
Go to God for your issues
@@mandisihlatshwayo4399 you need to see someone about your issues what is wrong with you?🤦🏽♀️😒🙄

Well first of all you can't really call it music --- like the rest of this genre ----- its not singing or have any real tune to hum to in the shower ----- it's actually called MAKES-YOU-SIC
I feel like for tyla she should just be humble period.epic is giving us a picture that she is a very big artist yet in actual sense she doesn't even do number non of her new songs in her album Even reached billboard hot 100 😂 she sold less than ice spice her first week despite winning a Grammy for releasing an album,she was literally every where every country, every tv show, performing every where in still sells only 24k units😂
And you sit your ass at home. How does that feel?
who are these people who want her gone fake News
@@GlendaKRose88_ Americans
@GlendaKRose88_ the comments are actually real on the thumbnail 😂
I’m American and I never noticed that anybody was trying to cancel her… I think she gets looked over because her music sounds the same and is kind of boring.
I don’t like her either 🤷🏾♀️🤣
no one asked get lost
Let's be honest, America made her a superstar especially with the controversial Grammy Award. Don't call me a hater fir soeaythe truth. If u think Im wrong, then can u show us her achievements for which she was a superstar prior to the Water song that won her a Grammy award?
@WellokStar-yp3vu yeah that's not the problem, the problem is not respecting ppls culture
black people made hollywood a thing 🙄
@@meisgoofy💯🍻
@@WellokStar-yp3vu That Grammy and every other award she won, and will continue to win are just an acknowledgement of who she is. It didn't make her anything she wasn't already. If awards make you a superstar, what about other superstars who never won anything yet are still superstars? Stop being dense.
@elroyswarts2337 shut up. Was she called the best African artist of the year before the grammy? Was she ever regarded as better than artists like Davido and Buna Boy before the grammy? Was it not the grammy that gave her that fake rating even though the majority of us Africans know that she is not as good as them? Would she have been this popular, assuming the award went artist like Ayra Starr? Of course, the Grammy made her what she is.
Black Americans are wise about her She do not represent them. South Africans especially the black ones forgot how much black Americans demonstrated for their freedom and bring about awareness about their suffering while people like tyler scorned them. Black Americans are honest about how they feel about her. Good for them. It's time we, as the True Blacks, take a stand.
@@vanessad410 You know nothing of the history of apartheid in South Africa and it shows. You keep trying to divide black and coloured South Africans and it keeps blowing up in your face. Take a seat. You are nothing but a clown. 🤡

🙄 Tyla is pretty and there will always be a stable supply of haters, ready to dish out ready-made insults. She's "Coloured", get over it. It's incredible how the same group of people are not bothered about the N word which has become so normalised in everyday speech.
But is the coloured, black term words were invented by colonisers, why you also embrace them. They derogatory terms period and I don't want to be labelled by them. As you can see from my profile picture I'm mixed with something.
@@abigailmndebele7892 saw this comment and, and needed to explain somthing
the reason why coloureds (including me) are so upset by this is bc, we built a culture around the word "coloured" and we very excepting of that fact, a good about of us are just going abt life not thinking abt that shit, but also it's very very verrrry unfair to try and to take us away from our culture, to tell a coloured to wipe who they are is just terrible, and its also very racist, no like literally u google it and google will also tell u that this, what us coloureds are experiencing is another form of racism.
its ok to not want to be coloured, 100% ok, but its not ok to enforce that on to us aswell.
i think it's 100% ok if we wanna be "out dated" according to some people.
