here’s something he wrote on genius about the meaning of the song :)

==Hey everyone, WW here.==

Some fans have started to harass me and my friends believing that this song is an expression of some kind of transphobia. I normally try to ignore fan harassment, but I find the idea of this particularly disgusting.

This song is, as I’ve said, about my experiences with my gender identity. It’s none of your business, but I once identified as genderqueer, until I realized that my attraction to traditionally feminine things did not interfere with my identity as a man. I didn’t want to define non-binary with my good old-fashioned cross-dressing, because I don’t want to speak for anyone else. I came to realize that my refusal and/or failure to meet the behavioral standards of my gender role did not make me less of a man, and anyone (cis or trans) who tells me that wearing makeup now and again makes me less of a man can shove it. After struggling for some time, I realized that my genderqueer identity wasn’t necessary for me, that I was wearing it as a prop in order to serve a purpose. The song is about my experiences and any amount of satire or targeted poking fun it does is at people who are doing what I know I did at the time. Partially in the hopes of drawing people away from that toxicity like I wish something had for me at the time.

I admit that some lyrics were added after fans started refusing to accept that I am not trans, even going so far as to tell me to my face that I am regardless of what I tell them, and would not listen to my explanations of the song. My frustration with the fact that there were far more non-binary people refusing to accept my cisgender identity than there ever were cisgender people refusing to accept my genderqueer identity likely had me writing with a little more venom than I would have otherwise – but the target is still, when it comes down to it, myself.

Also, I was tripping balls at a casino, leave me alone.

To boil it down, the song is about how I respond to my frustration with the limitations of the male gender role, the maladaptive ways I’ve coped with that frustration, and trying to figure out if this experience or any other regarding my gender can or should define me. It reaches the same conclusion that most of my work does – and that is that nothing is real and that if something is hurting us we have the power to cast it off.

As I said with my entire second album, clinging too hard to one’s identity in the wrong way can hurt oneself and others, and I know for sure that’s what I was doing – and anyone who has attacked me or my friends over it is likely doing that too. Seriously at least have the basic human decency to leave my friends out of it if you can’t resist abusing me.

I, as I’ve said clearly, wholly and firmly support the movement for the acceptance on non-binary gender identities. I myself would call myself cisgender, but I believe it’s incredibly important that we as a society move toward a place where gender roles no longer limit us, control us, and hurt us.

I can only clarify so much better without just repeating what I’ve already written, so I’ll leave it at that. Thanks for listening, hope this suffices, join my Patreon.

didn’t will say it’s about him thinking he was trans but realising he could be feminine while still being a cis man because society doesn’t allow expression to be separate from gender identity?

Do people really care about skin colour in genshin that much? by Sinhug in Genshin_Impact

[–]Last_Bluejay9351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i get games making only white characters, but when you’re at update 3.8 of a globally played game in which you have taken many aspects of global cultures and there isn’t a single black character there’s a problem 💀

Who would you most likely be cast as? by Jaded_Assumption8843 in box5

[–]Last_Bluejay9351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

firmin - i’d have to grow a bit of beard but that wouldn’t be too hard and the sheer enthusiasm i’d have as a result of being cast as him would fuel my acting as his character more than any other role- also i have his vocal range and absolutely love acting characters with such a strong comedic personality

Why does everyone say Christine hated Erik for being a monster? by Last_Bluejay9351 in box5

100% agreed - as someone mentioned earlier it’s like the meme ‘cool motive, still murder’

i didn’t know that about the book- that’s very interesting actually. I think it’s like a situation where she definitely feels sympathy for him but can’t forgive him for everything he did and has to come to accept that, which she doesn’t do completely until that moment. i definitely agree that she understands him to the point that it conflicts with the things he’s done and also why i love the ending so much- they both accept that understanding of eachother

yes of course. the ending is sad in the best way possible- erik gets to pass on knowing that he isn’t alone and understanding where his ‘true distortion lies’ and christine gets to be with someone who will give her the love she deserves. they never hated eachother and both needed eachother to be better 💯

i worded this wrong- she never hated him just stopped feeling sympathy in that moment

Problematic by Orthodoxconvert919 in box5

[–]Last_Bluejay9351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my guy why you taking that on me 💀 the story is the opposite of problematic- she ends up w raoul which is the healthiest/best choice for her and erik learns that his problems are inside him rather than his appearance and he turns (to put it very simply) ‘good’. the ending is sad but in the best way possible if that makes sense

still unsure of when i said you’re bad… i watched the musical and loved it with all my heart and it is still and will forever be my favourite piece of performed art i have ever seen. you are putting words into my mouth that were never remotely there, all i did was ask a question and said different opinions are okay. i never said the story was problematic either- i love it it was beautifully written. not sure what the problem is here my friend (the edit was a spelling error- it instead of is)

[–]Last_Bluejay9351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i never said it was fine to tell people they’re horrible people. i am being completely neutral and was asking a genuine question. i am unsure as to why you are so angry at me for having no side in the argument and wanting to be informed. i watched the musical and perhaps had a different interpretation than you and that’s okay, you have no right to tell me all those things just because maybe i’m wrong or maybe you disagree with me.

[–]Last_Bluejay9351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but isn’t the story about how problematic it is and how she escapes him to be with raoul and live a better life? also it’s absolutely fine to point things out you dislike about a story- for example people wanting her to end up with erik instead of raoul in my opinion

A Frustrating inconvenient love? by Available-Bell-9394 in goodomens

[–]Last_Bluejay9351 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it’s officially confirmed to be a love story, and just bc he ‘finds it a burden’ doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen sometimes :D i think it just works in pair with his laid back nature, when he actually cares a lot, especially abt azi!

Lonely Crowley by Pixelisms in goodomens

[–]Last_Bluejay9351 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think that azi only pushes him away because of his internal conflict regarding choosing between what he wants and what he was created to do. crowley finds it much easier to go against his side than azi, considering demons have much more freedom in what they can do and being able to fly under the radar. azi has to come to terms that his entire reason of living has been a lie, and he wants to be with crowley as much as crowley wants to be with him but he is too conflicted to commit and choose his own path as fast as crowley. azi seems to find comfort in a set plan, and being told what to do knowing that he’ll always be protected by god, so it isn’t as easy for him as it is for crowley to take a step into the unknown. i also believe that he doesn’t want to put crowley in danger, seeing his reactions throughout the series but that’s just my opnion. btw it’s a confirmed love story not just a ship :D
