I have NEVER seen people say that this is exactly what it meant.

Jesus Christ, people, does it bother you that much that some gay or mentally ill people choose to personally let this song speak to them? Straight people have 99% of popular songs be about your love and plights with the opposite sex already.

[(Anonymous)]

It bothers me that it's claimed as a "gay song" when it works for a million of different things.

[(Anonymous)]

I never seen it be "claimed", just personally interpreted.

It's so hard that ONE song is getting a queer interpretation from people, I know.

[(Anonymous)]

It's hard when people imply that every other interpretation is way more unlikely -- because DUH the gay is so obvious here! -- and totally not what was intended.

[(Anonymous)]

Have not ever seen that.

[(Anonymous)]

Haven't you checked F!S lately?

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

I see a lot of people nodding and saying "Yes, it could be seen that way, but it could also be seen this way!" with This being any nuumber of things.

And then the idiots who get on and tell us "Everyone is interpreting it as gay!".

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt

Never seen that...

[(Anonymous)]

Check why it bothers you.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't need to do that. I know why and I've explained this here, so you should also know why.

If you've NEVER seen anyone claiming it is canon, then you have not been to tumblr lately.

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, tumblr says a lot of stupid things.

DA

[(Anonymous)]

I'm on tumblr and I haven't seen anything of the sort. Most people I see talk about how Tangled was a much stronger story. *shrugs*

Generalizations aren't your friend, friend. Tumblr is a huge place and what you see depends on who you follow. Follow idiots and you will see stupid things.

Re: DA

[ibbity]

You must hang out in different areas of the fandom than I do, then.

It always really weirds me out when people project their own issues onto characters. Like, I can understand finding a character who has canon similarities to you and empathizing with that, but I will never get this whole concept of deciding to interpret a character in some way that has no basis in canon whatsoever just so that the character will be more like you. It just seems like thinly-veiled self-insertion to me.

[insanenoodlyguy]

I think it's more the hunger for identification combined with projection. Folks want somebody people like to be like them. If they are in a unique group, such examples are less in number so they end up looking broader and being a bit more desperate to find it.

[(Anonymous)]

It's this silly thing where people who are rarely (and if so, often wrongly) represented in the media end up reading in between the lines because that is the only way they will ever get a character like them. Because representation matters, and when there is none, negotiated or oppositional (as opposed to hegemonic) readings are very helpful.

[(Anonymous)]

Jesus, anon, "magic" and "super powers" have been used as metaphors for marginalized people for ages. Wow, people with real life problems relate to characters with fictional problems! Ain't that a fanciful thought.
