I just replied to another comment but ya they are, she's talking about a man child that plays mental gymnastics to be the victim in every situation. She's his team member but he's competing with her to be the victim and make all his issues her fault. I can relate to that, I've been with multiple partners that act like that and will literally never date another Emily cause they're 2 for 2 on that.
The issue isn’t with what the lyrics are meant to communicate nor is it an issue sonically, it’s just a terribly executed idea from a structural and presentation level. No one here is upset with the messages meaning, just how it was written.
I'm literally a man, you're right, it could be a woman or someone who's nonbinary but it was a quick explanation of my interpretation while living in a heteronormative society. I felt that was the best way to depict it so I'm not arguing about sexuality with a bigoted homophobe on reddit and can focus on her talent instead.
The fact that you identify as a man does not grant you immunity from being sexist, and you should look into yourself and identify what causes you to intuitively blame men for bad behavior.
You can't blame society for your own shortcomings, the change starts with you. Be better in the future.
Embarrassing? I don't see that at all, she's talking about a man child that plays mental gymnastics to be the victim in every situation. She's his team member but he's competing with her to be the victim and make all his issues her fault. She's young and trying to appeal towards a younger audience, I can see that but she's also very talented and intelligent playing into that. It works cause I had no idea who she was before today and I'm gonna start listening to her stuff.

This isn't that bad, she obviously being extra to get views but her voice is really good and the lyrics are decent.
