That is the true way to summon me.



Also, there were zero compelling counter-arguments in this comment section, everything was naked denial. luci might get a pass if they're legitimately female considering they probably don't fully understand where I'm coming from. But, that is evidence for my point, the identity of the author matters and has an impact on the work. What do you people think representation is about?

Agreed on the importance of identity, but when you're citing "a sexual element from the music that is normally present when any woman is singing", you're referring far more to listener inference than anything intrinsic to the music

"There is no need for a counter argument, dude. You ousted yourself as a weird dude who listens to music by women weirdly."



Maybe, or you just don't admit things to yourself. What are you thinking when Charli sings:



"I always think about you when I'm high

I wanna hear you whisper on the telephone, yeah

You call me up and then I'm satisfied

I touch myself and then I'm not alone no more"

If you exclusively listen to overtly sexual lyrics performed by women to the point that Courtney Barnett is a category of one, that's on you

No, with men I'm usually identifying with the subject rather than the object. In those Charli lyrics I'm identifying with the object "you".

It's not weird at all, in fact, this is why representation is important. It's not about lack of empathy, it's about identity. Yes, believe it or not, we're prisoners to our identities and can only relate so much to other identities in a superficial way when compared to someone living that identity.

Representation, as in, different identities and perspectives whether gender/racial/sexual orientation, being present in art.

"maybe not relate, no, obviously, but yes, every normal person can empathize with any human"



So you cede you can't fully relate to an identity group you're not part of?

The question was a yes or no.

no, I cannot relate to the everyday life of a lesbian woman. got me there

romance and love is a universal theme that isn't tied to a person's sexuality

and no you stupid fuck, it's actually not a yes or no. way more of a gray area than you're portraying it to be
