Refresching lack of misogyny in the visual style of Arcadia

I just wanted to talk about the refreshing lack of misogyny in the visual styling of the album, Vess' new outfit and the video. I'm so glad they didn't do a hard pivot to more 'masculine' merch and art after their fanbase expanded to a lot of women.

I was kind of scared that Sony would force them to do this--there's a lot of marketing rules about the gender of your fanbase. So I am really glad they decided to go ahead with the flowers and the pink. Which are obviously not 'women's things' but in the marketing world they ARE.

Shout out to Vess saying 'I am the Rose you relinquished'. Toxic masculinity who??

So yes. I hope they feel just as handsome and beautiful and powerful with the new artwork and outfits and I am so appreciative they haven't switched to old fashioned gendered stuff!

(sorry for the typo in the title, I can't change that anymore!)
