remarkably still going strong

who's gonna tell em the original concept for Animal Farm by Gertrude Elias was an allegory for Nazi Germany, not the Soviet Union

we're never getting that revolution are we

at least there were some sensible people in the comments

I'm a cisgender man but wanted to get the opinion of people here.

Today I showed my mom the song Ego Renegade Boy by Flavor Foley, asking her what she thought of it (personally I think the trial allegory in the lyrics is quite creative). She complained of its violent lyrics of execution in the chorus (which I think are references to the tribulations of the song's protagonist?) and said she thought whoever wrote the song was mentally ill.

That comment surprised me, so I tried to explain to her what the meaning of the lyrics was, but she didn't seem to understand, although that might be because I have a hard time articulating things sometimes.

Is it just a me problem, or is my mom transphobic? (she was also firmly on the side of JK Rowling while that whole debate was flaring up btw)

my primary inspiration here was Flyleaf and Nickelback (as well as a bit of Supercell/ryo)
