The song just gave me an headache every time I heard it on radio in 2019, like the way how Dance Monkey gave me an headache (but NRO is better) 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Embach 40,298 Posted July 12 Since we're in the Katy Perry thread, Im interested in hearing your thoughts on this: Is "You're So Gay" song in your opinion homophobic or not? I personally think it's not, I think the song is about how narcissistic her boyfriend was. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ultrabanisters 44,541 Posted July 12 wait the lifetime snippet being a hit... anyways a bit too much performance going on in here. as terrible of a decision as it was to work with d* l***, immediately invalidating her status as the 10's pop star is not gonna work... granted it is nothing groundbreaking, but it is a fun pop song. saying she has never made good or interesting music though is factually incorrect as pre-witness was hit after hit after hit. i would LOVE for her to go back to her early OOTB sound as that is when i started listening to her and love that rock infused sound. she has such a good voice for it regarding the reviews, i honestly think (as they do with almost every artist) news sites are piggybacking off the drama for clicks, knowing controversial headlines and content brings viewers and revenue. instead of saying anything meaningful, they use buzzwords like flop and catastrophe, which is just overkill and invalides any persuasive arguments they have about the song. i have seen it alot of twitter today where pop accounts are just tweeting negative things for ad-share revenue. just boriiiinggggggg also don’t blame her for the sexual imagery. embracing post pregnancy body can feel liberating for women so i don’t really see the issue... its a womans world, truly 8 Quote resident sweeter 24/7/17 - 9/7/23 - 10/7/23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personally think it's not, I think the song is about how narcissistic her boyfriend was. I think overall, yes but i think a lot of people don't really care because it's not like she's saying fuck the gays. but her use of calling him gay is problematic because she's calling him weak, feminine, and tries tearing down his masculinity in every line by referring back to the chorus of calling him gay for what, 3.5 minutes? it's not even a bad song either, i like it actually but it's still annoyingly problematic and just plays on stereotypes. if a guy made a song that said "you're so lesbian and you don't even like girls" and then in the verses named off a bunch of things a girl did that society deems "masculine" or stereotypical for lesbians that this woman did/does it'd be a problem and he'd be cancelled. or if someone did that with a racial situation, we'd reject it and cancel the person. it wouldn't be okay either way and i don't think it should just be okay or get a pass because she's katy perry 2 Quote if i fuck this model and she just bleached her asshole and i get bleach on my t-shirt, imma feel like an asshole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's problematic but like you said it's not in that way of homophobic like "fuck the gays" or some shit like that. I still like the song, it just sounds so different from the rest of her songs. I need that song's producer back, I loved the beat. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shadesofblue 14,609 Posted July 12 i really wanted katy to have a successful comeback because she was one of my fav pop girlies in the early 2010s . but the way shes been doing all this just doesnt sit right with me for multiple reasons. her comeback single being women's world is so hypocritical in so many reasons & i dont even have to mention the kesha situation. the music video opening up with her sexualizing rosie the riveter and her background dancers who are also skinny dressing skimpy doesn't seem like the best way to empower women by appealing to the male gaze lol. Katy and the women look hot i dont want to come off like im hating them but i just think so many other artists have portrayed shared women experiences much more accurately lately. some of these are a little different topics but example: skinny by billie ellish, and girl so confusing by charli and lorde. katy seems stuck in 2012 tbh, obviously women should be empowered by what they wear, but being a woman is more than just dressing in revealing outfits and chanting feminism. it just feels very dated and surface level, like we've moved past this. she looks amazing and i dont want to hate her but this was not done well. 10 Quote ♡︎ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
