His album "Boundaries of imagination" changed my life back in 1999 and I often found him mirroring my thoughts and actions if I had a different life. He comes out on IG story with this stuff. The logic is not existent: be something that you are not so that you can be yourself... make sure that others like you so that you can like yourself. He can do whatever he wants but I am not going to follow it . It feels like a breakup.

So Armin has become a drag queen or someone has hacked his account

To add to that, it's very disappointing any time homophobia comes out of the woodwork especially in the dance music community because do you people not know anything about how house music started? Not enough people take time to study a bit of history and it shows. Are you secretly afraid that you might find dicks absolutely delicious or something

Yeah I need more of an explanation as to why OP thinks this is over the line. Is it the drag queen part? Because if so you can drag yo ass tf out of here
Not speaking for OP perse or myself here:

.. but I can perfectly Imagen there being something creepily uncanny about a grown man with mental health issues feeling the need to dress up like a little girl or photo model.

And why anyone would need to explain himself on that in aTrance, not even a House forum precisely? This is no longer a niche minority scene of yor but, especially when your Armin, a global spanning phenomena with millions of listeners all with different takes on life/society.

if Armin chooses to get a big megaphone on social media yelling in the void why thinks he needs to do this for political or ideological reasons, (which is fine mind you.. 🤷‍♂️)

then there is no problem with individual users going, “aight: but I hate it/ not my cup of tea”

Edit:-

I think it might also very well be the fact that Armin chooses to go see: above. Full outspoken political/ideological about something.

This is probably the part I would dislike most about it.. the dress up alone I find quirky/ fun.. but the whole support current thing imo leans into the “council of celebrities scene” in “team America” or that cringe “David Guetta Solves Racism by saying uts bed”. Clip.

its like: you’re a bunch of entertainment monkeys ffs..not revolutionaires or Martin beeping luther king 😒

I think peoples desire to share an opinion about other humans has grown out of normal proportions though.

I don’t really see the connection between my sexuality and transforming into a female over the top drag persona. But if others do, or want to do this for whatever reason, why would I care?

Oh no, he put on a dress, but he has a penis, how can he do this?! The madness.
