Demi Lovato is speaking up for extraterrestrials everywhere.
While promoting their new Peacock docuseries “Unidentified with Demi Lovato”, the non-binary singer/activist/UFO enthusiast explained why they take issue with people calling beings from other planets “aliens.”
“I think that we have to stop calling them aliens because aliens is a derogatory term for anything,” Lovato said. “That’s why I like to call them E.T.s.”
And, no, they were not kidding.
How about we take this to the next level?

To be clear, many people consider the word “alien,” when used in reference to immigrants or those traveling from other countries, to be dehumanizing and offensive; however, most people don’t find the term problematic when talking about hypothetical extraterrestrials.
Except, evidently, for Lovato, who says they have been a “believer” in UFOs their “whole life.” To them, “aliens” is a derogatory term because the E.T.s haven’t done anything to cause Earthlings any harm. Or something.
“If there are civilizations that are of consciousness in other dimensions, which has given them the technology to be able to travel through space, I think that they are looking for nothing but peaceful encounters and interactions because like I said, if they wanted us gone, we would have been gone a long time ago! I really think that if there was anything out there that would want to do that to us, it would have happened by now.”

Lovato added, “I think that the world is becoming a more open place. Slowly, but surely, I think that we’re making progress. And we’re slowly getting there. But, you know, any progress is progress!”
Let’s see what Twitter has to say about all this, shall we?

I am legally classified as an “Alien of Extra-Ordinary Ability” on all of my US paperwork and I just think it’s fucked up that Demi Lovato hasn’t spoken up about my visa status yet.

Um………………I got nothin.
Smith David
Same!
whateverokok
That’s pop music for you. What once could be considered a sign of good taste meeting the masses, pop music is now as vapid as Britney’s boobs. And just as inflated. What do you call all these current pop stars chained together with plastic bags over their heads in the bottom of the ocean? A DAMN GOOD START!!!
Cam
What a shock, the same old right wing troll uses something silly said by one woman as an excuse to mock and attack another one.
Your troll game is, as always, bland and boring.
sfhairy
grasping at straws isn’t she. trying to stay in the public’s mind and not realizing we all know how fake she is.
Cam
Interesting how you and “whateverokok” always post a minute or two apart from each other.
Please, you make this too easy. If you’re going to steal someone’s screename, at least don’t give it away so easily.
sfhairy
@Cam, this is the real me. try again hunty.

@Cam it is hunty, try again, dear.

@dilemmax She hasn’t proven that it’s not just a bandwagon thing for her. till then, she’s a she/her

Cam at his bullying again. So predictable. Demi is a nut job.
skeldare
Prove to me that aliens exist and then we’ll talk
Troyfight
….some of her songs are fun. But that’s where she totally stops being relevant – after that she’s just like someone with a lot of fermented gas, farting constantly – stinking up conversations. Totally worthless….
jaimedance3
She defiantly has too much time on her hands!
ScottOnEarth
I truly don’t know if there is anyone more totally and completely annoying as Demi Lovato. Everything they say is complete gibberish and utterly STUPID. Is Demi a singer anymore or just a talking head who’s full of sh*t?
Hank31
She is a troubled woman. “Transgenders” and “nonbinaries” have mental illness co-morbidity rates of 70-90%.
Cam
Hey Hank (Same old right wing troll).
You always say I lie about your being a troll. Well here’s your chance to prove me wrong. Please feel free to post a legitimate site that backs up the statistics you just cited.
I’ll wait.

Is it ok to call a nut a nut? Because, wow…
missvamp
they have gone batshit crazy the last few years. i don’t know what happened- but wow.

This is how far we’ve come.

He/She/It/They (NOT We), what their choice(s) is/are socially inept. First, go jump in the river trying to manipulate the English language. I’m from the 20th century where we spoke our minds; in fact, we/I still do! HaHa, grow up hyper crybaby!
I do NOT give a flying F**k what others thinks, the space aliens (like they really care), and especially what D. L. thinks or wants. The aliens or e.t.s only care about their contract with President D. Eisenhower for 500 abductees a year for cross hybridization. It would be a practical solution if the “space monkeys” abducted D. L. for experimental laboratory fun and games.
We are all feeding into D. L.’s ego and so-call career with D. L.’s old fashioned publicity stunt. So DESPERATE to be relevant and stay in the publics’ eye and mind. NOT mine! A publicity manager is something D. L. cannot afford; hence this mindless trash. One cannot give what one does posses; and, one yes can give what they yes do posses. Ahh, gotta go take out the trash now ….

Bravo.
The crazies and narcissists who once complained we threw “under the bus” are now driving it, and they’re going to steer the whole movement off a cliff.
Jake123
They are literally so embarrassing!!

I like the crazy beams that shoot out of her eyes. Evidently she communicates with these, um, extraterrestrials directly through the fillings in her teeth.
