Damn. Y'all some true stans!!! Defending SOPHIE to the death. What grimes said was accurate. I can't believe people as progressive as this group would knock her point. It is possible to enjoy something while also finding some aspects of it to be problematic. She wasn't saying he can't exist. Chill. If you think this is defending someone to the death, and not sensible discussion as far as places like this go, good luck with the rest of the Net

Yeah we're the ones who need to "chill".
Also, what's with the guest name? You say our forum is progressive (which it is), which means you have experience with it. Why not use your username or usual guest name? It seems as if you're specifically trying to push buttons.
Yes it is okay to enjoy something and find certain aspects of it problematic. For example, I love Azealia Banks's music but I don't like her personality very much. Also, I love Grimes but I thought that comment was problematic because it seemed uninformed and unnecessarily aggressive.
We were having a discussion about Grimes's comments. Not defending SOPHIE to death. We were also by no means attacking Grimes. It seems as if you misinterpreted the situation

REALITi is a song by grimes (one of her best I think), it's kinda funny that we're being told we're "true stans" by someone using the song title by the artist they're defending NO SHADE I AIN'T TRYING TO START DRAMA BTWand this is a forum where we like to have discussions about these topics, we enjoy reading too much into stuff sometimes and like to look at things from every angle. also we have a separate thread for all this grimes vs sophie talk check it

Honestly, I'd rather not go on a witch hunt or anything. That would just give them the attention they want. Let's just ignore them from now on.

Ay sorry but I think what REALITi said was reasonable. Maybe a lil hyperbolic but that's what people do on the internet. Yeah, weird to hide behind a guest account but saying that an at worst slightly misinformed statement is showing "the true side of Grimes' personality" is a little bit ridiculous imo. Anyways, not gonna talk about it more on this thread, maybe I'll hop over to the "feminine appropriation" thread but honestly my thoughts on that situation are such a hodgepodge idk if I'll be able to form coherent thought.

Keep in mind, it's pretty likely that Grimes doesn't follow SOPHIE or PCM anywhere close to as intently as any of us do. She probably just read the feminine appropriation article and based her opinion on that + the name + her own experience as a woman in a male-dominated industry. Edit: and lest we forget, there WAS the time when SOPHIE got a drag performer (Ben Woozy) to stand in for him, which could be read as "pretending to be a girl" and IMO was a bit of a misstep. It's weird because Grimes was one of the first ever people to tweet about PC Music. Basically when they started the label (also right when Hannah's first song came out) Grimes tweeted about it and that's the only reason I got involved in PC Music. For some reason I thought she would be more into the scene.

Cashmere Cat is a fan of Sophie. He even put up a snap on Snapchat of him buying Product on CD. Pretty cool if you ask me.

There's a short interview with Liz in the Guardian where she talks about Sophie/PCM with an interesting quote about When I Rule the World, the reason I post it here is cause of this interesting quote... SOPHIE/Britney 2016

SOPHIE/Britney 2016 I love LIZ but that definitely should have gone to Britterz. So yes, SOPHIE+Britney plz.

SOPHIE/Britney 2016 When I Rule The World fits better with Liz than anyone else, as does Cherry Pop. However, I think a Sophie x Britney song would be amazing as well. It would probably be a lot different than Rule The World. Britney could sing over the Instrumental We Call Lightning.
