Yes. Dolly really was one of the very few good ones. She was incredibly smart, despite what she may seem on the outside. The look, even the boobs, were a calculated thing.

Lindsay Ellis released an hour long video asking and answering this same question the day after Dolly passed. Spoiler alert: yes, she was that good of a person.

She did once say "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap!"

Small clarification -- Lindsay Ellis released her video on Nebula last Friday (Aug 21), originally titled: "Yeah, but is Dolly really THAT great?"

She renamed, briefly prefaced, and released it on YouTube following Parton's death.

True. I did intend to say "released an hour long video on YouTube". I also started to suggest everyone go watch it but it was sounding like a shill or something so I deleted all that context from my comment.

Even though she said she wasn't a feminist and didn't "do politics". Which wasn't true, of course, but maybe she didn't realise that.

[-] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 12 points 12 hours ago

Maybe she just didn't think of it as politics. She believed in education, she believed in literacy, she believed in equality, she believed in gay and transsexual rights, etc... To her that just wasn't political, it was just the way you were supposed to be. It was just part of being a good person.

oh, yeah. I too believe in all those things and I also don't see them as political -It's everyone else that makes it political. -Not me, though.

You can tell what someone's politics are but what they consider to be "political". To some people, others just existing as a woman or some type of minority is a political act.

If you openly say you do politics then your followers expect a response to every thing that's going on. Being politically active without being overt about it is much more effective imo.
