Shawn Mendes

Your issue sounds very personal. Because if it was just subjective music criticism you'd have just left it there but instead you're jumping through hoops to make assumptions about his wants and motivations you can't possibly know are fact, and diminish his struggles with mental health and how his fame impacts that. That's nothing to do with critiquing his music. It's an attack on his character that, in my opinion, is entirely unjustified and disproportionate to anything he has actually said or done. He's not exactly doing a Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift where he's begging for chart success here either; he's put a song out into the world and done a few interviews, and your response to that has been to consistently attack his character, question his motivations and mock/deny his mental health struggles. And that IS personal. I'd have more respect if you just plainly said the truth; you don't like him and this was a good excuse to be bitchy.
As if his fans in here don’t take criticism about Shawn personally. That poster is expressing their views on new Shawn material and his management of his career.

Want to talk personal? Let’s remember that this thread had to be purged because hard-core Mendes fans were heated over talks about his sexuality. So, everything is personal to some degree up in here.

This. like I'm not mocking his mental health struggles, nor am I speculating on his sexuality, I couldn't care less. I'll rephrase, (the gay voice, that was mean of me) the 'boyish voice', maybe it just represents a stark contrast between his vocals and this genre he's stepping into, idk. The reason I'm discussing this here is because Shawn's never gonna see any of this, he doesn't know us, so like our words or what we have to say will affect him. And c'mon, 963 pages and there's bound to be way worse things about him. And what the funny thing is, I'm not a fan, let alone a Stan or core, and the things that I'm saying are some how passing other people off, yet his actual fans are the ones that have ultimately created the negativity that he ought or desired the escapism from. I'm just here because he's one hot motherfucker, and I think he knows that. But it's fine, let's just enjoy pics of him and chill
