He did help produce it, so maybe it was his idea and he wanted to do it again.

he does have this very queasy tension between being repellant and angelic... I can't stop listening to gasoline. The ornate late MJ harmonising kills me

Gasoline, Sacrifice and Starry Eyes were the ones that really jumped out at me.

 

[shiels]

It was my idea actually, me and my friend used to make spoof ads by drug dealers on pirate radio and he's clearly been listening

I was just about to say. Men crying and being sentimental always happened its just that people are more willing to talk about it since me and drake made it cool

gus says women find it unattractive when a man cries

I cry, but rarely and always in private.

I never cry over anything that's actually sad like someone dying, only over Marvel films or how the world doesn't appreciate me

 

[version]

I'm at my most emotional watching films or listening to music alone. I can't really let the guard down around people, I'm either detached or upbeat if I'm with company.

do you and linebaugh structure your lives around the approval of women on the internet?

these were real life women! The only women I talk to on the internet is other life and theyve already publicly declared their dissatisfaction

You've touched a nerve insinuating women will think Shiels is Patrick Bateman for liking The Weeknd. This is war.

Shes right is what im saying

Shiels and Gus both share an obsession with this subject

Im only teasing. There is an interesting discussion around how 'politically' unpalatable sexual attraction will always be. the inversion will be:

while I don’t want women to completely avoid it, seeing a woman being overweight does turn me off. I’m seeing the pendulum swing from “women should stay skinny” to “a woman being overwight has zero effect on her attractiveness” and neither of these are true

so much of the chat around mental health, body positivity etc has this dull relativism

And notice she doesn't morally justify her sexual response. It isn't a normative post, like "crying is bad" or "men shouldn't cry because I find it unattractive." It's a descriptive post. She's just honest about noting it and sharing it. Now we all have more information than we did before

William James is one of the smartest men who ever lived, I would listen to him and start believing ASAP

this is key yes. we must have the courage to be transparent about our strangeness and monstrousness. where and how its appropriate to express is important too obv. theres a big big big opportunity for the straight man who can crack being a big kinky woke sex influencer. thats my main project atm, that and the ultimate exquisite ambient jungle bits to relax to

I don't know whether that's possible without coming off as a creep, like those straight guys who are very vocal about being a "male feminist".
