Two things can be true at once: I definitely still side-eye her choice of collaborators, and this is probably the most sympathetic I've ever felt for her.

Pretty much this. I'm sure she's had to deal with a bunch of transphobia in her life and being able to celebrate her body/sexuality is a way to maybe work through some of it. It's why I don't get her logic behind not only working with Luke, but publicly defending him.

What she said made a lot of sense and it is indeed heartbreaking.

IDK (or care) if it's panned or not but S*ut Pop is basically a gay cult classic already. Not a gay themed party or club night goes by without an SP song coming on. I think anyone who gave it a second thought could see it's just Kim trying to make an album about sex seem fun and silly. It's actually great.

I think you meant to quote the person I quoted fellow coconut head

Some of you have clearly never had the experience of being labeled a sexual deviant or pervert in completely innocuous and non-sexual scenarios simply because of how you identify. I grew up in a religious cult, people were calling me a kinky pervert before I even hit puberty just for being a feminine boy. It's traumatizing when people project their own VERY adult shame onto you as a child. How dare any of you try to minimize that because of her coworker/boss being a sex criminal. Two wrongs don't cancel each other out and shaming a LGBT trailblazer for speaking out against a real issue that scarred her is MAGA behavior. Shes already said she's ashamed of the state of things with her career and has her entire team silently engaging with posts about how she's trapped under the r*pist. I'm not even really a Kim fan and even I know all of this. What more do you want from her?

Oops yes I did, I did the lazy highlight + quote thing, didn't realise it didn't pick up the username in the quote box.

all she needs is to pour out all these emotions in a vulnerable album with no Luke

There is something weird with the younger gay community today. Many of them are more conservative and ashamed of sex than the previous generations. I dont know if social media has made them scared to explore themselves or just hate themselves more but it really is sad. In the 90s and even the early 2000s **** pop would have been celebrated for being so liberating, now the gays are literally clutching their pearls and gasping at the "vulgar" content.

Absolutely agree. There's such prudishness about it, even on this site where we love nothing more than a blonde popstar in a glittery catsuit singing some sexual innuendo-laden song. There also seems to be an inability to grasp the idea of "concepts", of something just being fun and for the niche. Everything needs to be serious, expert vocals, heartfelt ballads. The amount of effort wasted in writing screeds against Sl*t Pop and how it's trashy throwaway music like... that's kind of the point.

Before I knew her as Kim Petras, I remember being young af, still ignorant about trans identifying people and seeing her in a german TV interview that claimed she was the youngest trans person ever.

 

She went into GR surgery and blockers very early. These type of procedures kill your sex drive completely. It must be tough having a whole different approach to sexuality and pleasure and then release two concept albums about sex.

 

I don't know but keeping that in mind makes a bit more sense on why tf they thought it was appropriate to release it during this stage of her career.

That's sad cause she fully killed her career with that album.

[Tistotal]

I didn't remember the SPM spot had German translation  queen

Poor of her, she is so strong.

[LittleStarmen]

Very sad post but She seems lost in terms if artistic goals though. Even Troye moved on from her and that type of music

Sorry but I've had it with artists releasing basic trash and then trying to attach a deeper meaning to it to elevate its status.

 

Not this after TTPD

[Suilen]

I get what she's trying to say even though our situations are different, and I like the first **** Pop album for what it is, but there's still something sinister about a woman abuser being involved in creating those songs, especially Your Wish Is My Command. She obviously attached her meaning to the album, and that's admirable, but what connotations did he try to put there? Brrr. Kim would be better off without him, as the songs produced by other people suggest. A shame about her contract.

So that makes her choosing to work with abusers (to make this music) and even insinuate that a victim was lying even more disgusting and hypocritical . I'm sorry that happened to Kim and she nor no one deserves to have sexual experiences that make them feel uncomfortable and gross but she owes Kesha an apology and all the other people she blew off when they rightfully called her out for this.

[Slap]

Good for her and I am sure that was really awful to go through and continue to experience. I hope she can use this to muster up some empathy for the sexual struggles of others such as rape victims. 

[Lady Claire]

Aw, i love her

 

She already said something about this, but never went into details like that. She also previously said her next album would be more serious/personal and nothing like she did before, and this makes me ready. I would love to know more about her daily life, personal struggles and probably will be relatable to lots of young trans women.

[ithinkheknowsoutsold]

Now she needs to explain why she isn't making TOTL 3.

Gregg Araki, is this you?

Aww that's sad. I didn't Kesha fans listen to Slxt Pop, Head Head Honcho is such a bop.
