It seems like he gets so much praise for doing the minimum possible, for the lone reason of...being a conventionally attractive white male? So many other men and women REALLY break gender stereotype boundaries and rules, and they barely get any recognition, or are even shunned for it. This guy is having fun, sure, but always from the safe space of his privilege without ever even risking to put it on the line. So where are your threads and your appreciation posts for these people?Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is he trying to appealĀ to with this? How do you know he is wearing it as a costume? Just let him be himself, damn. The LGBTQ had some of the most judgmental jerks. Ā No wonder so many of us are afraid to open up.

People have an outrage level they have to meet everyday. Anyone in the industry is priveleged. But they all donāt expresss themselves how they want to.

So many other men and women REALLY break gender stereotype boundaries and rules, and they barely get any recognition, or are even shunned for it. This guy is having fun, sure, but always from the safe space of his privilege without ever even risking to put it on the line. If he ever comes out one day, I just know people will praise him to the moon and back, again simply for being who he is, but conventionally attractive at that. It's aĀ bit like the Bachelor guy coming out, who got so much praise just because he's so handsome and conventionally masculine. If he was a bit more effeminate, people would be saying the worst things about him. I like that he does these things if he likes to, and everyone should have that right, which I'm not denying.Ā I just don't understand the overwhelming praise for him over other arguably more deserving people. It's frustrating that society keeps idolizing straight-friendly whitewashed versions of queerness or racial expression instead of the real heroes who put their lives on the line to achieve some kind of social progress. Anyway, he looks funny lolĀ Youāre absolutely right.Ā Iāve been someone who has praised him for this to the moon and back in the past, and I love that he does experiment with his style as i think thatās something everyone should be encouraged to do.Ā At the same time, itās becoming really frustrating that heās somehow become the face of existing outside the binary. Yes, he dresses nice and doesnāt adhere to toxic masculinity standards, but heās only able to do that because of the figures of queer history who were persecuted for exactly that reason.Ā Harry shouldnāt be the person receiving all this credit. He should be appreciated as someone who is able to exist in the aftermath of the hard work done by the people who came before him. This isnāt meant to tear him down, I love his style and encourage him to keep pushing that line, I just wish he wouldnāt be peopleās go to to praise for this. Once again, even a couple months ago this areaĀ served as more of a blind spot, but Iāve grown to see the broader issues that comes from it.Ā Spoiler This isnāt to tear down Harry, I love him and his music. Itās more meant to speak to the broader issue (one that has been amplified by some of the popular guys on tiktok) of cis-hetĀ white men being praised endlessly for not adhering to the confines of gender when their are others who made it possible for them who are still getting in relentless trouble for it (look no further than the backlash against Lil Nas X).Ā EDIT: I also wanna make sure that this doesnāt sound like iām blaming Harry or gate-keeping fashion. I think itās wonderful what he does, and I know heās not doing it for attention or for praise (and I genuinely donāt think heās queer bating), I think heās just being himself and expressing himself. I just wish other people were uplifted for this kinda stuff first, if that makes sense.Ā Ā Iām a simple guy to please, if you like Melodrama, we chill.
