Literally all their work is about imagining a queer revolutionary and ambitious future and they do so much work to provide resources and education? Like...there's nothing cyncial about what Alok does. If you actually read through their work you'd know it's actually the exact opposite. Alok is a light in the trans community.

Blue wig 349 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 This has nothing to do with the song. Like yeah, it goes against the message of the song, but let's be honest, we all know how complicated identity is, and that scientists still don't know why some people are straight and some aren't... So even if we all love Gaga, there is more to us than just being "born this way" The song is still good and positive, it certainly doesn't have any bad intentions, and at the very least it can work as the starting point for a discussion about identity Y'all are just so pressed every time anybody has anything even remotely negative to say about Gaga... "Alok drags Born This Way", are you serious? This is just calmly explaining that the message of the song isn't scientificly accurate, it's not like if Ed Sheeran called Gaga a ho. THAT would be dragging Also, Alok uses they/them pronouns Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevenWonder 4,356 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 They are one of the most annoying "activists" out there. I've followed they for a bit. Got off that train ASAP. They surely don't speak for me. That's for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameltoe Chariot 15,213 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 In my opinion they’re the queer version of a right wing troll… and I caution all who engage with their content to consider their motive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enissa11 2,984 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 it's annoying how born this way keeps being misunderstood for people trying to be intellectuals before judging a song or a piece of poetry reading between lines is not that difficult... Born this way has nothing to do with biological determinism or essentialism, it's a valid social criticism but they're aiming the wrong target.

RahrahWitch 6,985 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Sorry but this just makes no sense, They are making all these claims as if they are fact when we just don't know what determines a persons sexuality. If it's not a choice then yes you were in fact "born this way" in a sense. Doesn't matter if that's Genetic predisposition or Epigenetics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putang Ina Mo 2,179 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 At least they (Alok) is not being snarky or petty in disapproving the phrase "Born This Way". But seriously, do people really think that the phrase "Born This Way" is literal as in "I was conceived in this manner"? Tbh, I think Gaga has thought of Born This Way as an artistic take on the phrases "I am me", "This is who I am", "I should be accepted for being me", etc. my username says it all 🇵🇭 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their the one that said this; “These days the narrative is that transgender people will come into bathrooms and abuse little girls, I believe in the radical notion that little girls are complicated people. There are no fairy tales and no princess here. Little girls are trans, queer, kinky, devious, kind, mean, beautiful, ugly, tremendous and peculiar.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
