Most fans can’t see the real fucking meaning of FLAG. it’s not about hating men or punching them in the balls. it’s a fucking feminist anthem that says ”US, WOMEN, CAN ALSO FIGHT. WE ARE NOT WEAK.” but you fucking idiots only think about EA’s rape and EA’s mental illness and shit like that, she’s not gonna be writing songs about that misery anymore. FLAG as an album isn’t what Opheliac was, but was Opheliac what Enchant was? Shut your nasty ungrateful mouths PLEASE.

And here, we have some ‘enlightened’ little asshole, thinking they’re fulfilling the role of the ‘only sane (wo)man’ in the fandom, the only one who truly understands EA. Confessor, sweetheart, you’re a stupid little shit. And I’m going to explain why.
The ‘real’ meaning of FLAG? You take that shit at face value: As a song, it’s a song about ‘fighting like a girl’ that yes, attempts to be a ‘grrrl power’ anthem but at the same time also manages to put down men (yes, the ‘even if you’re only a boy’ line qualifies, along with the whole ‘let’s get revenge on literally every man ever’ bit). It’s really just a damn stupid song. The message of the song isn’t ‘women aren’t weak’. In no way does it attempt to make that argument. It’s a shitty pseudo-feminist pop song. As an album, it’s nothing but a shitty ‘concept album’ for her musical, which is based on her mediocre book which is based on her at-least-somewhat made-up life story. There’s nothing fucking feminist about it.
And ‘you fucking idiots only think of EA’s rape and EA’s mental illness and shit like that’? What the flying fuck is wrong with you? No, people don’t only think of that. First off, EA is the only one who only thinks about her mental illness. Pretty sure no one else really gives a fuck anymore. No one’s sitting around wishing that EA would ‘write songs about that misery’. EA’s the one who’s been building her whole career since Opheliac on ‘that misery’. FLAG is STILL about it, you twit. If you think it’s not, you’re not paying attention. Her whole fucking Asylum theme is all about that shit. And here’s a newsflash for you, confessor: FLAG is still the goddamned Asylum theme.
I don’t know why your confession is so spiteful, confessor, but shut the fuck up, really. You don’t know a damn thing about what other people’s opinions actually are, clearly.
