This is 100% the gay supervillain music video I’ve been waiting for.
I love campy gay villains, but gay villains of this type are amazing too and sorely underrepresented.
…Oh, so by “gay”, you mean. Actually gay.
YESSSSSSSSS
Okay so if I listened to the music by itself I would hate this because the lyrics are creepy and gross and the music is catchy. And putting a catchy tune to a gross patriarchal perspective is one of the main ways media normalizes gross patriarchal perspectives.
But the music video really effectively subverts that patriarchal media narrative. The video criticizes and satirizes the gross perspective, instead of normalizing it. The video states upfront – the character telling this story is a supervillain. The lyrics are a supervillain monologue. Both the supervillain and the lyrics are absurd. Neither are intended to be taken even remotely seriously.
And on top of that the video subverts multiple queerphobic tropes.
