"ignoring everyone in the public eye who says silly shit, or even dangerously ignorant and objectionable shit" is hardly a worthwhile strategy though.

No, absolutely not. But once you've read something it's safer to make that judgement. Elly Jackson isn't being seditious or dangerous (though I bet she'd like to think she is) - she's just being a big-mouthed pop star, which is her job. Consume and dispose.

Aargh I hate that "pop stars should be big mouthed" argument - see what Cis said above. A pop star's job is to make great pop. And she fails on that count too.

Well, I would argue that making statements like "getting beaten by your boyfriend is your own fault" and "lesbians are always butch and angry" and "chicks look stupid when they do butch things" is quite dangerous, especially when you're presenting yourself as some sort of intellectual, open-minded alternative that kids should look up to and admire as someone who makes them feel good about being themselves.
