regardless of what the song is about to her, what is really annoying is how it adheres to the old tropes of women craving love an attention of their gamer boyfriends

I don’t find it annoying lol and the chorus is about loving somebody enough to let them go so that’s kind of the opposite of craving his attention

yes but that's just the chorus, look at the verses

But can't you love me like that?
Can't you need me like that?

I'm in love with the greatest gamer
But he'll always love the game
More than he loves me 

She craves his love and attention, but because he loves the game more, she has to let go, it's the same old trope

She has never disappointed me, truly the best. So sad she wasn’t able to contribute to DOC, she would have sewed those tracks together

They may be old tropes, but those feelings still exist and people out there right now are dealing with them, so I find the song can be relatable to them.

Fair :ally:  I think it’s clearly a metaphor and she’s not talking about actual video games, still I see how it falls into thst trope I guess.

This is so f*cking beautiful. I love that Grimes taps into her nerdy side consistently and effortlessly. She's the only one who I think does it best without it becoming cringe. I cannot wait for her new album! Shimigami Eyes BETTER be on it!

Honestly gaming is like part of her aesthetic and sound and it’s natural cuz it’s also something she is into in her personal life. Meanwhile all these other ppl are going the video game /anime route lately and it seems forced cough cough:ally:

My fav thing about ggd is discussing perspectives on art but it seems like most threads are discussing politics and stuff which is less fun :messga: quote me and disagree amytime I’m here 4 it gives me things to think about haha

I'm really enjoying it, can't stop playing it. Already loved the song but this makes it 100x better, she gets the Dark Souls atmosphere. She really does the best MVs nowadays.
