Like you said, this whole stunt did exactly what he probably wanted in the first place: elicit and spark a reaction. Good strategy, Troye. Friendly reminder that we all come from different backgrounds, with different coming out (or not) life stories. Not everybody had it easy, some of us are not quite where we'd like to be yet.

The song is really good, and I hope is a fucking hit, if he plays his cards right, why wouldn't it be? It's catchy as hell. He desperately wants it, and it shows.

Disclaimer: This is a bit of a rant, but is my point of view, please don't crucify me, and if you do, take into account that this is my personal opinion only, you have the absolute right to disagree with me and educate me if there's something missing that I'm not seeing: Stunts like this is what gives society reasons to think that our queer community is full of sex obsessed nymphos, 'perverts' and 'degenerates', as they call us. I'm aware people like Sam or Troye are trying to come across as edgy trailblazers of sexual liberation. But in the long run, with the mindset of today's world, it causes more damage to our image and proves their point. It personally hurts me, a little. I don't want to be seen as some 'sex freak' just for being queer. But to be fair, at the end of the day, with the mediocre vocal ability and limited musical talent of Troye, this is the only route to go next commercially. Giving people something to talk about, what's a lil' controversy to stay relevant, huh? Sex sells, and helps to disguise our lack of skills, anyway. Even if I'm aware that his voice is average at best, I used to LOVE Troye's music. I was such a stan, even during the 'Bloom' era (that some people tend to shade). And I'm sure he'll give us bops, but the hypersexualization of his image is such a turn off for me. At least during the 'Blue Neighbourhood' era he had a vision, a concept, something interesting with a little bit of depth to bring to the table. 7 hours ago, Chorli Xbox said: i know i’m probably gonna get blasted for this but am i the only one that misses the blue neighbourhood troye? the video feels very cheap and uncomfortably hyper sexual to me (the multiple ass and thong shots etc). and yes, also everyone is super skinny and fit… maybe i’m just not used to it or maybe im just internally pissed that the grindr hookup culture, sexual things like jock straps and asking for someone’s nude twitter on first sight are our representation now these days idk pls someone understand me i’m not trying to start anything i agree with these like i literally have nothing else to add 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Venice Jesus Whore 4,471 Posted July 14, 2023 I'm like this 🤏 close to buying the vinyl because this album cover is gorgeous, I want to be able to experience the cover and the rest of the artwork on a large print, and I want to support Troye because I love everything about this era so far. Buuuuttt, I feel stupid buying a vinyl when I don't have a record player, have no intention of ever getting one, it's like $40 with shipping, and while I do like Troye's music generally, I don't listen to him a lot. Help. 0 Quote It’s not about having someone to love me anymore This is the experience of being an American whore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
