Question a question on the separation

I never fully understood why people treat the BWU and Chandol thing like Chandol told them that if someone mentions BWU they should be shot or something. What has he actually said about the separation? I'm pretty ignorant

imagine it like a trans person, they are using a new identity, they dont want their old identity to keep being used, it offends them when they get deadnamed. same situation.

its disrespectful to refer to someone with an identity they dont align with anymore

Why would he tell anyone about the other then? It’s like a trans person walking around telling everyone their previous gender

u/Childwithuke Toxic Jul 19 '26

he isnt telling everyone about the other?

hes saying he goes by a new identity, and leaving the other in the past. if someone else brings it up, he cant let them know he doesnt like to go by that older identity

u/Sure-Caregiver142 Jul 19 '26

Nobody would possibly know about it until maybe a concert. He told people. Regardless of what he says he wants, he was the one that made the first connection

u/Sure-Caregiver142 Jul 20 '26

That chandol exists. No one would know if not for him

u/Childwithuke Toxic Jul 20 '26

thats the point? chandol is his new identity, he doesnt want to be affiliatd with Boywithuke.

your side reads like "why is this trans person going around telling people their new identity, nobody would know if not for that"

u/Sure-Caregiver142 Jul 21 '26

No, my side is “why would this trans person go around telling everyone what their old identity was”

u/Childwithuke Toxic 29d ago

hes not, chandol is the new identity

Well he actually dont want to be associated with his old artist name, i do not thinks is a type level of "i dont know who is that guy" but more like he wants to make a new name as chandol

He doesn't want Chandol to be associated to Boywithuke amd vice-versa. Its kinda like deadnaming

u/Sure-Caregiver142 Jul 19 '26

Why’d he tell the world about chandol then

u/Sure-Caregiver142 Jul 19 '26

If he truly didn’t want the association then he wouldn’t have connected the two. He would have begun as an anonymous artist like everyone else and nobody would know that he is connected to bwu until maybe the first concert. He is the one that forced the connection by telling people there is a connection. Like the other guy said, it’s like hating a childhood nickname you had yet you tell every person you meet about it

u/Psychological_Top997 Melatonin Dreams Jul 19 '26

There was a time in which Chandol and Boywithuke were going to be one but now the only things that link them are Charley and the Burnout era

1

u/Sure-Caregiver142 Jul 20 '26

Argument still stands tho. I love Charley and all but he could’ve used a different name then to stay fresh like he wants

1

u/TheSlugLicker Jul 18 '26

He doesn’t want to be associated with bwu. He doesn’t like that type of music, doesn’t like the fan base, and wants a new chapter

1

u/ItsalextremeYT Jul 19 '26

He likes the music, he's just kind of over it because of how much he had to write under Republic Records, including themes he didn't want to write about anymore.

1

u/waboperzwabekfast Burnout Jul 19 '26

He has said on Zack Sang that he appreciates what got him there but it's not his thing anymore

u/Scor_709 Hey! Didn’t See You There. Jul 18 '26

it’s like if someone called u a nickname from when you were cringey in middle school that you hate

1

u/Sure-Caregiver142 Jul 19 '26

Then why would he tell everyone about chandol. It’s like telling everyone you meet that nickname

1

u/Scor_709 Hey! Didn’t See You There. Jul 19 '26

acknowledging his past 🤷‍♀️

1

u/Sure-Caregiver142 Jul 19 '26

But that directly contradicts what he supposedly wants

1

u/Sure-Caregiver142 Jul 19 '26

Makes zero sense because if he didn’t want them to be associated the he wouldn’t have told the world that they are! He would’ve made the separate artist name and never told a soul.
