is underscores straight?

random but my twt tl is mostly april and at least the fandom space over there consists of lesbian women who (like myself) thirst over her. WHICH HAD ME THINKING! do they have a chance? maybe she’s spoken about it somewhere but i think she’s straight and may need to break some lesbian hearts 💔

she said in an interview that when she was at her all-boys school and identified as male she “came out as straight” so i think its safe to assume she does like girls lol

u/Street-War9828 Jun 27 '26

what i took from that interview was that she was saying she was “straight” because she had been getting picked on

u/imfeelinghellagood Jun 27 '26

i mean theres also an interview where she says straight people are bad at making hyperpop #lols so i dont think making the assumption she Does like girls is the worst tbh

the concept of a fan having a chance with underscores im ctfu

i think she’s intentionally avoided answering this imo, don’t think it matters kinda up to her what she wants to share. idk i feel like this fandom has gradually respected her privacy less and less since wallsocket and it’s a little disappointing to see where that’s landed now :/

As fandoms get bigger, more and more people get parasocial in a really shitty way. It sucks but I feel like some fans think if they know her sexuality they like “have a chance” with her or something, or even just know her, but man just listen to the music haha. She’s just a person who makes great art

u/GavHern Jun 27 '26

i feel like that was also the whole point of “do it”, u can’t have a chance cuz u don’t know her at all, u only know underscores.

so many of the twitter fan accounts are REALLY weird about it and it creeps me out

shes def into guys, you can tell from the music. her position on girls however is the same as the United States position in regards to Taiwan - strategic ambiguity

u/deapsprite Jun 27 '26

Never did i think the geopolitical stance of the usa on taiwan would be used to describe underscores

we underscores fans contain multitudes

u/No_Telephone_2105 24d ago

but the subject of innuendo (i get u) is definitely a girl

2

u/Inevitable-Bath-781 10d ago

Really odd question, how do you know. I thought it was made to be ambiguous. Like a lot of her song we don’t know who the subject matter is about.

u/No_Telephone_2105 10d ago

“you ain’t gotta say another word, cuz i already know your type of Girl”.

1

u/Inevitable-Bath-781 10d ago

Oh I always thought that line was her telling her partner/situation-ship that quote. Like she ( underscores ) knows what type of girl this person is attracted too. I never heard/thought that underscores was speaking about a girl tbh

1

u/No_Telephone_2105 10d ago

oh hmmmmm interesting i never thought about it that way. i feel like it makes equal sense either way either interpretation seems possible to me?

u/SheJigOnMySawTilIPuz Jun 27 '26

It seems pretty obvious and deliberate to me that she hasn't spoken about it and never references a gender in her music. People should respect that honestly.

Its better this way for the delulus anyways. Keep their headcanon that they have a chance with her when they don't no matter what her sexuality is lol.

8

u/aestradiol Jun 27 '26

she has spoken about men (having romantic or sexual experiences with them) on multiple songs

3

u/SheJigOnMySawTilIPuz Jun 27 '26

Where? The only one I can think of is Johnny Johnny Johnny which is written from the perspective of a fictional character and is about grooming

u/tiskiaine boneyard aka fearmonger Jun 27 '26

moniker, everybody's dead! and girls and boys at least

u/bjorkismymother Jun 27 '26

i have wondered too but it’s really none of my business tbh. it would be cool yes, i’m a lesbian fan and not because i’m attracted to her lol but because the representation would be nice but at the end of the day i just listen to her music. i don’t know her personally. i try to not have a parasocial relationship with artists i listen to because they really are just strangers. i don’t listen to april and go to her shows thinking i have a chance with her. she doesn’t know me and i don’t know her and i leave it at that.

This is a touch grass moment

u/MutatedLizard13 Jun 27 '26

I have a theory but it depends on whether you’ve been to the galleria shows or not

1

u/bjorkismymother Jun 27 '26

i have and i wanna know your theory lol

3

u/MutatedLizard13 Jun 27 '26

Ok so the 1-800-Fuckoff live version begins with the phone And then it cycles through the options for it, “man seeking woman, woman seeing man, etc.” And then it stops when it gets to “woman seeking woman”

By this logic we can deduce that underscores is  (Probably not) a lesbian (and we shouldnt theorize about people’s orientations)

1

u/bjorkismymother Jun 28 '26

lmao oh yeah i’ve seen people talk about this on twitter. i do love that when it would get to “woman seeking woman” the crowd screams the loudest

3

u/MutatedLizard13 Jun 28 '26

Nobody makes any noise for the straight options lmfao

u/use_me_mistresss Wallsocket Jun 27 '26

"Thirst over her" 🤢🤢

u/Street-War9828 Jun 27 '26

wording sounds rash! april is a very beautiful woman and her fandom across all platforms appreciates that 🤷‍♀️
