Straight men don't have sex with men. The man Troye's singing about did. Next!

Top 10 on UK Spotify! :flame:

You're reading the song at an extreme face value or speaking on something you don't understand 

 

listen to his Zach Sang interview if you want it explained more

Nope, I don’t!


A better observation would be “Straights’ obsession with wanting attention/sex from gay men is so odd to me”

…yes those 2 seperate topics are allowed to coexist. If you need to bring up another topic to fight your point then please log off :rip:

They are, but only one of them relates to the topic of this music video. I’ll let you figure out which one.

Just because someone is closeted and in denial doesn't mean they are straight, being gay is intrinsic and biological, you can't fake a boner :celestial3:

Anyway so happy for Troye and hope this becomes a smash! Gay pop justice

Troye LITERALLY says in that interview about the “fantasy” of being with a “straight” male.
 

The fact you never address anything I actually say either:rip:im not saying the meaning of this song can’t be multi faceted, but it’s pretty black and white for the most part and plays on that topic. Idk why that’s so hard for you to accept.

There's... nothing for me to accept? Let me spell it out for you.

 

The fantasy you mention, and this is basically how he starts the interview, is based on "straight" guys reaching out to him for sex, not the other way around. So, in actuality, the song is a reflection of his personal experience with "straight" men thirsting for gay men. 

 

Therefore, Troye wasn't and isn't 'obsessed' with becoming a 'straight man's side piece', which is why I called out your initial statement.

Yes, Troye's experience with a gay man chasing him still doesn't take away from the fact this song is obviously playing off gays fantasizing about being with straight men (which is discussed pretty heavily in that interview and also seen on atrl). There are two parties there babe, not just the 'straight' male. This song only perpetrates that narrative even more, which is basically what I said in my first post.

Much appreciated! I'mma need Troye labelnto push this song! It's too good not to be a hit! :jonny5:

This may be my favourite pop song of 2023? It is both specific and universal. It is modern and timeless (it’s giving Kasey Musgraves vibes). And the video is iconic too. Just a real gem.

 

ETA: Well, my favourite non-Carly pop song of 2023
