i just find it weird we've come to a 180 on Hamilton. when it came out, Tumblr was gushing over how awesome it was, and now It's Not That Good, Actually.

I feel like this is how people are about almost everything that gets really popular. There's nearly always a backlash against extremely popular things. I say that as someone who has never seen Hamilton and has no feelings about it beyond, "I'm a little exhausted with hearing about it."

lol yes its like the circle of life with tumblr:

'Oh wow this thing with diversity/making good progressive media is so perfect in every way' --over time--> 'this is a thing of problematic evil and anyone who has ever looked in its direction needs to be ostracized by any means necessary'

Right? Like suddenly LMM is ~problematique~ for Reasons (I have no idea why as I do not follow LMM), after being the end all, be all on Tumblr for what seemed like ages.

It's a combination of "Hamilton whitewashes the Founding Fathers' slavery so LMM is a slavery apologist" with "His politics on Puerto Rico are bad."

The first one has a certain amount of merit - "Hamilton" does gloss over Washington's and the other founding fathers' slave holding, and it is probably a bit too keen to accept the reading that Hamilton was a convinced abolitionist, while the only one of the FFs who was DEFINITELY completely against slavery gets treated as a punchline (for unrelated reasons, but still, he's treated as an irrelevant joke). I don't know enough about PR's politics to touch the other one, but I have a suspicion that most of LMM's critics don't either.
