You don't have to explain yourself for others thoughts or feelings. As long as you are OK with you that is all that matters. The way someone mistakes your actions is more a reflection on their misguided view of the world than yours. Take a break, sure, please. You deserve it. But please don't stop making music entirely. You mean a lot to so many. I don't know why you would care...but I'm glad I found out you existed. I don't know if I can say I truly Love You. But I certainly Love the idea of you that I have formed in my subconscious.

2022-11-30 23:35:38 +0000 UTCDigression aside, yeah, those are some of my thoughts on that. Can you tell I'm procrastinating doing actually important work right now? I'm trying to do a really big final merch drop before the live album drops and I finally can run away possibly forever, but instead I'm answering unasked questions and eating gabagool in the dark.

2022-11-30 23:02:33 +0000 UTCBut overall, having responded to the mild drama when it first came out I think was one of the main reasons things got so much worse in other ways. It's not like I was able to prevent people from thinking I was a jerk for one reason or another in the long run; whether it's for a made-up reason, a genuine negative interaction, or thinking that who I am onstage isn't a performance because I "dropped my old persona" and seeing me do a mean comeback to a heckle or leaning into the curmudgeon thing. (If I'm ever actually upset onstage, I tend to just shut up, play the hits, and do a shorter set. Sometimes if it gets real bad I'll lean into it verbally and turn actually negative feelings into a bit of performance art but usually I just go quiet or make a snide remark or two at most.)

2022-11-30 22:59:38 +0000 UTCI have to say I sorta regret ever having publicly responded to any of the drama over that song except for when I spoke out against TikTok bullying that kid for covering the song with the genders swapped. That kinda shit is so antithetical to my values, and people were publicly declaring that I was on the side of the people doing the bullying. That also seemed to be the origin for the claim that my reason for hating TikTok was because I hated covers and people "changing the meaning of the song," not for ideological reasons.

2022-11-30 22:50:47 +0000 UTCTo explain what I mentioned before the bridge of this performance - the live version of the song that went mildly viral last year I'm actually saying "my pronouns *are* your business, shitlord" not the opposite, which is what I'm frequently quoted as saying. It's a reference to early 2010's Tumblr verbiage, which I sarcastically invoke in that lyric to poke fun at myself and the gender exploration I was doing at the time of writing the first drafts of the song. I'm sure there are some performances where I tried "aren't," but I've also as many people know tried a lot of different lyrics in that spot.
