Love to see it. The hate Chappell gets is so extreme.

she was always right! the backlash is giving entitled weirdos who don't want give up their parasocial relationship.

I'm not a stan, nor do I fuck with her music, but to me the criticism has always sounded like "oh, she just needs to shut up and put on the wig, she chose this" which is so needlessly dismissive and cruel.

The way people fly into a rage at the mention of her name baffles me. Not liking her music or her public persona is fair enough, but the amount of vitriol that gets spewed around feels disproportionate.

Chappell can be a little annoying at times, but I think she's aware of that and I do think part of it is immaturity as she didn't seem to really have an adolescence with dropping out of school to pursue music, losing her original deal at such a young age and living a pretty isolated life after moving back home for a while, plus dealing with mental illness and coming out later in life, ofc.

I fucking love her either way and live for how up in arms she gets people. There's a LOT of misogyny and hatred of lesbians involved for sure.

I also live for having a truly talented female pop star who refuses to play the game or suck anyone's dick. I'm hoping over time she learns to pick her battles for her own sanity, but I have faith in her.

Watching the various boyband docs that have come out this month (the Paramount one on the US bands, the BBC one about the UK cohort) it really is stark just how much the fame aspect chews people up. Especially the pressure to then hide all the mental health issues it causes. All of them seemed so much happier now, just being able to do some reunion gigs without the circus, than they ever did at the height of their success.

(Though what was also stark was that I have been right to despise Nigel Martin Smith all these years. What. An. Arsehole.)
