from what i’ve gathered about alex turner as a writer, especially with a lot of his newer stuff (i.e. eycte, tbhc, and the car), is that he very much seems to take the mccartney approach to writing in which he’s writing about approximately 10 different ideas all at once in any given song - and if you think a song is about a person or situation, it probably is at least a little bit.
like he’ll be writing a song and it’ll be about 3 of his ex-gfs, his earliest memories from his childhood, a reflection on fame, an inside joke with a friend, and an homage to an old french film no one’s heard of - all at once.

the sheet amount of sinophobia that white gay ppl in the usa/canada + western europe are willing to spout out in response to homophobia and enforced masculinity is insaaaaane. as if the us and germany and shit don't hold similar misogynistic and homophobic values.
boy scouts? roosevelt's practice of muscular christianity? androgynous male pop stars being censored on tv doesn't cancel out the lgbt citizens of china, especially the thriving gay scene in beijing. old rome and old china have just as much history of homosexuality in real life, visual art, and literature.
government-based and internalized homophobia aren't exclusive to china by any means. what could possibly be going on in your heads to think that canada or england is a gay haven? italy just shut down a bill criminalizing homophobic violence a few months ago, while in 2017 a trans man in china won a gender bias lawsuit against his employer and a woman did the same in 2019, with the courts stating their support for the transgender population in china.
NO nation is perfect right now on this! there's an incredibly complicated nuance to any oppressed group's rights that goes back and forth as governments and people shift in laws and legislation, but also in values. and i will say right now that homophobia is not and never has been an "asian value" on its own. zero reason exists for a white westerner to direct anger and disappointment in cutural and government-backed homophobia to china rather than their own country.

The thing about not believing the hoards of queer ppl saying that mike is gay is that "as a straight person" you don't see the world the same way we do. And when a straight person clocks a gay person it isn't for the same reasons. As gay ppl we see the "signs" cause we've been through the same experiences ourselves. For a straight person you see a gay man having a high voice, or being extra flamboyant, or dressing "girlier". When actually, sure there are gay men like that (and straight men too.), but you probably would not be able to tell if you walked past a queer person on the street. ESPECIALLY in the 80's. Cause gay ppl have always had to HIDE. we aren't clocking anything OUTWARD. (Unless it's a queer signal, specifically worn or said so other queer people know that they're safe) we are seeing the same behaviors and experiences that we ourselves have gone through.
You don't see mike as gay cause he seems "normal" to you. He's just a guy who is in love with a girl who he barely talks to. He's afraid of saying I love you, we've all been through that right? It's not GAY. You'd rather say his writing has just gotten worse. He's just an asshole now. He's a terrible friend. Finn is just a bad actor now. He's not gay. He can't be, cause I'm not.
