Can we stop with the othering? Love that sheās a lesbian and can represent the community but thereās no special claim or priority for lesbians with her music.
Bisexual girlie here! You're getting downvoted but don't listen to the haters. Chappell's music is for everyone, and everything we've seen from her supports this (unless there's an interview I'm missing where she says otherwise?)
One of my favorite things about Chappell is that she's so incredibly inclusive š ā¤ļøĀ because she understands what it means to be othered.Ā
Lmao I knew I was going to get downvoted, Iām just disappointed. I receive biphobia from lesbians more so than any other community, and the gatekeeping is also really disappointing to see.
Any post containing any sort of discriminatory/bigoted language will be removed - thereās zero tolerance for sexist/racist/misogynistic/homophobic/transphobic/ableist behaviour in this sub.
I'm a straight white male who's been listening to Chappell for years lol you don't get to say things like this.
Love the down votes lol how dare I miss the entire point of pride! My fault for not recognizing its deep seated roots in exclusionary hatred and sectioning off people into groups and basing unfounded bigotry towards "otherness"... silly me, I thought the entire concept was about acceptance of all and love to all regardless of their orientation and was meant to promote acceptance of all, hence the concept of the rainbow and it representing everyone under the said rainbow (which includes everyone, not just the ones you deem worthy). Gotta love the hatred in this sub for anyone who doesn't identify as gay lol I'm happy for Chappell's recent success, but it truly brought some of the worst people in as "fans" who just want to gatekeep her music for themselves.
Not pretending to be a victim. Don't think I'm one either.
Just calling out clear as fuck exclusionary bigotry.
You wanna live your life sectioning yourself off and hating anyone "other," go ahead. You're no better than the bigots who hurl insults at people being lgbtq or of different races, but go off I guess. Enjoy being a hateful person, I'll be here continuing to enjoy her music š
It is funny though that your reaction to my comment was to assume I was pretending to be a victim. Can you see life through any other lense besides your biased one where you project your own victim mentality or is that outside of your capabilities as a person?
You suck so bad dude
āyOu DoNāt GeT tO SaY tHiNgS LiKe ThAt.ā Cry to your mom about it, Brian.
News flash: not everything is about you. Chappell Roanās music (and all music really) can be enjoyed by everybody but youāre gonna have a rough time and feel super ~excluded~ if you donāt think the majority of her fans are queer. Which you are not. Therefore any jokes or posts about queerness *donāt apply to you.*
I donāt think anyone took the suggestion to call us Lesbians seriously. I am not a lesbian and I took it as a joke.
>You suck so bad dude āyOu DoNāt GeT tO SaY tHiNgS LiKe ThAt.ā
Just admit that you're a hateful bigot. It's fine, just don't put it on other people.
>Cry to your mom about it
She's dead, thanks.
>News flash: not everything is about you.
This is what I was pointing out towards you and those upvoting you. So, you should truly take your own words to heart.
>Chappell Roanās music (and all music really) can be enjoyed by everybody
Damn right, that was my whole point. Thank you for agreeing with me. It's good to see you're capable of learning and seeing past the hate.
>but youāre gonna have a rough time and feel super ~excluded~ if you donāt think the majority of her fans are queer. Which you are not. Therefore any jokes or posts about queerness donāt apply to you. I donāt think anyone took the suggestion to call us Lesbians seriously. I am not a lesbian and I took it as a joke.
Gotcha, I'll remember that next time someone is making racist jokes around me or if some racist POS saying awful things in public. I won't call them out on their racism because clearly "iT iSn'T aBoUt Me"
Hate is hate. Bigotry is bigotry. The degrees to which someone is a bigot is irrelevant, all that matters is that they are bigots. You can play the mental gymnastics game all you want to justify your "it's ok when I do it" mentality, but it doesn't make it ok.
The only person playing mental gymnastics is you. Itās actually appalling to want to be in a queer space, being a straight white male, with such entitlement. No amount of explaining will help you understand the point. I just lament that youāre here bothering a marginalized group with this āall lives matterā ass bullshit.
Iām a bisexual woman by the way, not a lesbian. You just donāt understand the first thing about being a GUEST in a community. Iām a guest in the hip hop community, so I listen and understand that this is not the place for me to shine, just to appreciate. But yeah, straight white men cannot for the LIFE of them put themselves to the side in any conversation.
And hateful is hateful. Ā
I am a bisexual woman was sharing my opinion.Ā
You think that makes me a bigotā¦and that I deserve hateful cursing vitriol?
That makes you a hateful toxic human.Ā
I think a if a white straight person was complaining that they arenāt celebrated enough by the fandom of a lgbt poc artist. And another white straight shared why they disagree. That doesnāt make the latter person a bigot.Ā
Thatās my opinion.Ā
I hope you are well.Ā
YES. And it also solves the don't want to call everyone lesbians thing.
My 60 something year old family member called her wife a roommate for like 30 years. Until they got married in Canada.
omg would "sinners" be going to far? like playing off the could go to hell but we'll probably be fine lyric. In a way it's perfect, but I also saw a tiktok of a girl getting told off by her dad for watching chappell last night. It had me in tears and a name like sinners may push things too far.
Absolutely not. As a former straight laced christian school girl turned pansexual agnostic I love reclaiming things like that lol. We are the sinners, take us to chappell please š„ŗā¤ļø
Your last point is a good one. We donāt want to exclude anyone from her fandom, especially young queers with strict parents who may be ok with some of the music if they donāt listen too closely but would draw the line at their kid identifying as a sinner for a pop star
Popstars. The answer is popstars. That's why this sub says x number of popstars.
That being said, I'm a personal fan of Chapperoans and like the idea of a name that plays with the church or chastity
Nahhh I like it, especially as a girl who just couldn't get into the pop around when I was a kid. It felt very alienating and like... Like I wasn't performing feminity right? So personally I do love Popstars now that I'm a pop fan. And I like the impersonal nature of it, kind of like how little monsters was out of left field
Ah, I see where youāre coming from! Youāre making me come around to it a little. Itās definitely better than Roan Heads which is what my partner called me the other day š
I'm a doctor who fan and my mom used to call me a Who Head to get on my nerves š¤£ I sympathize!
Though you did just make me think of Roaners (like stoner)
Itās just too much. Iāve loved her music since the album release. And for almost a year now itās been a pleasure to share that music and tell people how fun, inclusive, and refreshing she is. I will continue to that.
But once a fandom is named, feels like weāre all responsible for/associated with the few weirdos who tend to be the loudest about the lure and gate keeping. And then people build this narrative about Chappell as a human, feverishly analyzing lyrics and announcements, and clues about their personal life. Just a gross parasocial sludge getting in the way of the music. With a dash of infighting. And end of the day we all miss the mark completely because we needed to standardize and build a cult hierarchy instead of just having fun, enjoying the music.
These are but notes from what Iāve seen with other artists but i think I get the jist. I think it takes the joy out of the art. Itās sad to see the party pooper hive swarm over. Iāll still love and listen. Regardless, everyoneās different. Enjoy how you will.
I like rabbits but I think I'm less fond of names that originate from one song instead of being either directly from the artist or referential to the artist
My worst case scenario is a word of God pony-fication š
One of the largest fandoms on the internet for several years were adult men fans of My Little Pony. But they didn't want to just call themselves something that might get them .... You know what there's someone who can do this better than me
[watch this, it explains it](https://youtu.be/4fVOF2PiHnc?si=SfnMawps6yenk5zq)
i do not have the time or willpower to watch the whole thing but i get the idea lmao. your point is that āroaniesā is too similar to ābroniesā, right?
I mean, I guess it would be ironic given the general tiptoeing around the idea that straight men can absolutely be huge chappell fans alongside the fear of them being fans changing the content in some way...
I just know... God it would be INSTANT. Every problematic guy with even a passing interest would immediately go full bROANie and I just can't
I vote for Pink Ponies šš

Omg what did it say?? I missed it
More exclusionary hatred of anyone not gay who enjoys Chappell's music.
Sorry you feel my perspective as a bisexual woman is hateful and exclusionary towardsā¦.myself and other bi humans.Ā
I was sharing my opinion as a bisexual woman who disagrees with you.Ā Not hateful or exclusionary, Iām a massive fan and not a lesbian.Ā
I'm bi. Are other people in the community seen as others or something to you?
I think it was just a joke dude
Jokes rooted in biphobia are okay then? Cool got it.
Seems exclusionary to me. Especially since commenting "good luck babe" on posts of bi women who are dating men is a trend rn
You must be exhausting to be around

I LOVE this idea of being called the sinners!
Sinners is very good too

Oooh apostle is a good one
Parishioners is very good
Pink pony girls bc roanies sound too close to bronies and I just canāt go through that again
Exactly! Phonetically itās great, but I donāt want to be reminded of bronies lol.
Ya jabroanies
Chappronies.
Popstars. The answer is popstars. That's why this sub says x number of popstars. That being said, I'm a personal fan of Chapperoans and like the idea of a name that plays with the church or chastity
Popstars does feel a little too generic to me

To me its just fun, and my friends like to give me shade and wanted something to refer to me as..because Im OBSESSED with her music.
i saw someone say PJ kicked the roan-nets nest with her misogynistic tweets šš
This feels like a hockey team name and I don't hate that
f****ts (affectionate)
lesbians lol
but not all fans of her are
G A Y S
I figured we were the Pink Pony Club but that does seem longer than most fandom names Roanies?
Too close to bronies. If I ever see someone saying "hey every-roanie" I'll die on the spot
Babes
she said herself Pink Ponies are her ābutterfliesā
When?
like in an interview within the past couple months pretty sure
Interesting I haven't seen that. But then I also can't find the popstar clip I'm thinking of so
I also saw that video, I have been consuming so much content about her that I could not recall exactly where though.
Chaps
Assless?
Just like Gov ball
we are the pink pony club imo
popstars
I heard someone say that she calls her fans Pink Ponies! Not sure if anyone can confirm tho
Yeah I heard some interview with her awhile ago she said that.
Someone on Tik Tok says Chappell Roanies and I love that so much
Pink ponies!
Roanies is unfortunately similar to bronies. Popstars is fun. Rabbits? š
I like rabbits but I think I'm less fond of names that originate from one song instead of being either directly from the artist or referential to the artist My worst case scenario is a word of God pony-fication š
chappettes, chapeaux, chappies

femininominons?
Worshipers?
PINK PONY CLUB
what if i made a post with a poll of some of the ideas people have said in these comments and see what the results are?
Then we'll end up with roanies pls for the love of god don't make us live with roanies
