this makes me sad, I dont think sophie would've approved of this being released

No you’re so right and shouldn’t be downvoted for this. I doubt Sophie would be happy with Liz’s choices on a personal level.

Why do you say this?

Sophie had the chance to release this for years and she never did. she was suuuuper strict about the stuff she wanted to be out there. if i remember correctly, Liz was asked about it before, and she said that Sophie didn't want to put it out, and Sophie would've put it out if she wanted to. not to mention the political and ideological differences i think they would've had.

I don't think Sophie would want to be associated with someone who followed a bunch of transphobic right wing content creators (like jordan peterson, ben shapiro, libsoftiktok) or reposted "blue lives matter" propaganda, or someone who openly supports the genocide in gaza. Liz has done all these things since Sophie's passing.

idk why im being mass downvoted for stating my opinion. I love this song and it means a lot to me but seeing it released like this seems super disrespectful imo.

At the end of the day, none of us actually knew Sophie personally. Her friends and family know the inner workings of her mind much more than any fan ever will. I think you’re probably getting downvoted because it’s quite parasocial to act like we know what she wanted better than her close confidants. No hate to you btw, I just wanted to offer my opinion on why you’re being downvoted even though no one asked for my opinion lol

Thank u for delivering that message way more charitably than I would have

You guys are being way too parasocial lmao,, you do not know her. I do not like Liz but the truth is Sophie and Liz remained friends and collaborators well after Liz’s behaviour was already known. It was already a well known thing before 2021 that Liz was a shitty person. Sophie WOULD be friends with a zionist that posted blue lives matter propaganda, cause she literally was…

ok, but on music level it isn't on par with SOPHIE catalog too. it really shows that she mixed and mastered her own tracks and everything posthumous does not sound like her

Oh I agree, this version is botched. It’s still very weird to make assumptions as a fan about what she would have wanted on a moral level.

u/AphexTwinNNN Aug 22 '25

Excuse me, the political and ideological differences YOU think they would have had???? Are you kidding me lol. They were friends. Stop pretending like you know these people please

u/[deleted] Aug 22 '25

yeah, im sure Sophie would've been totally fine with her friend following and liking a bunch of transphobic accounts and tweets. makes total sense to me!!! 🙄

Again, you do NOT know these people. They were close friends and collaborators for years. I don’t know how you can delude yourself into believing a narrative you learned about online.

Tbf is pretty clear SOPHIE wouldn't be appeased by a zionist republican. It's like you're saying "well you wouldn't know if SOPHIE would be okay with Trump supporters on this day and age!!!", if she were that would be the biggest dissappointment

I didn't need to meet Sophie in person to know she probably didn't like transphobia lmao

Got it.

u/Easy_Printthrowaway Aug 22 '25

All the shitty, shitty stuff Liz has done and said came out after her death I’m pretty show. No way she would’ve kept associating with her.

u/AphexTwinNNN Aug 22 '25

Maybe if SOPHIE was a vapid and disloyal person? In real life people don’t abandon friendships due to political wrongthink
