#this band put gay sex in a music video and i'm completely sure that because it was two women most of the fandom ignores it

[violetlens]

(loudspeaker in hand, standing on a high surface) sleep token made a music video entirely about two women having sex without leaning into the male gaze. sleep token's choir (which includes a *woman of color*) has been with them since their very first album. sleep token recently put their choir in entirely new outfits (including masks which show the bottom half of their faces, corsets, and one of them in a sheer shirt with her cloak open). sleep token recently put their choir on a huge platform so the audience is forced to look at them. sleep token's bassist and guitarist, iii and iv respectively, regularly interact with the choir on stage. sleep token, a decently well known metalcore band, has a woman of color in it. vessel and iv from sleep token both regularly post and tag the choir on instagram

#sleep token #vesselettes #even though i dislike that term #sleep token choir #i want them to be called v vi and vii. why aren't they being called v vi and vii #sleep token vessel #sleep token ii #sleep token iii #sleep token iv #i often feel like i don't “fit in” with the rest of the fandom as a bi woman/nonbinary/whatever of color but then i remember #vessel himself would very much be okay with me! so i'm forcing everyone to see this too :3 #this band put gay sex in a music video and i'm completely sure that because it was two women most of the fandom ignores it #i'm so so so certain that if it was two men in the jaws/nazareth music video that fans would go crazy over it #but at least sleep token's fans aren't as horrific to the women in their band as ghost's fandom is #that being said less misogyny doesn't mean no misogyny #food for thought or whatever :3 peace
