OMG!! Shawn Mendes just made a huge CONFESSION!

And... it's not what you think

Zzzzzzzzzzz..... wake me when he comes out.

Miss Mendes is so lame.

Douche

That seems pretty self aware for a 23 year old.

Let's rip him to pieces!

Lol ! Just tell the truth man

[quote] Marcus : Not me thinking this was his coming out tweet

The counter on the likes for that tweet is spinning like the wheel on the Price Is Right.

Rubbish word salad.

I got bored reading that, halfway through.

He knew damn well what he was doing.

Getting attention for saying absolutely nothing.

As someone in the comments said, "He's extra."

Gen Z is now soft-launching homosexualism.

This young millionaire uses the word "tryna". I guess that's a compound verb.

It's ankle deep at best and reads like a form letter. Kids his age think they invented every idea that occurs to them.

[Quote]That seems pretty self aware for a 23 year old.

What?! Do you think someone the age of a college graduate at their first adult job can't write a rambling post about searching their own happiness?

Please, it's not mature, it sounds more like a 15 year old wrote it.

I thought the same thing - it reads like a child wrote it. At least we can tell it was really probably from him.

God, he's exhausting.

Seen through my lens, the only one I have I guess, it just seems like a placeholder for coming out. As such the honesty just justifies dishonesty.

But, I hope he's well, happy, safe...

It reads exactly the way I would a celeb in his early twenties expect to feel. It's not that he believes he is a gift to mankind. It's more that he is made believed that. And every now and then something or someone gets him a reality check. (Maybe he is a top consumer of DL) If I was in my early twenties and for five, ten years everybody and their brother tells me how great I am, I'd get a super-sized personality disorder at some point. Considering all that, he is doing comparatively fine.

OP

His PR team probably hopes this will generate some kind of Joshua Basset-type buzz. Joshua came out as nothing, which was certainly a clever PR feat. But Shawn is taking it one step farther and not even coming out. He’s just announcing air.

I couldn't pick his voice out of a line-up, and I can't name a single song of his.

His fans seem to be gay guys who would buy recordings of his farts.

[quote] This young millionaire uses the word "tryna". I guess that's a compound verb.

The use of “tryna” and the improper use of an apostrophe in “20s” makes his post unforgivable.

I guess he's doing this because his latest singles keep flopping. Need to get attention somehow.

Hi! Here are a bunch of words run together so as to be utterly meaningless!

Confessing to his "friend".

Yeah, this seemed a bit desperate, he's obviously feeling a bit insecure about his career as his hold on pop culture is slipping.

I see this as the beginning of his campaign to come out publicly.

R26 We can only hope. He's nearing his expiration date.

Apparently, fame can be overwhelming. Bieber's whole body is covered in tattoos. I wonder what the future holds for poor Shawn.

[Quote] I wonder what the future holds for poor Shawn.

I'm sorry, maybe I've had a glass of wine. But what was the HUGE CONFESSION????????

What a bunch of meaningless drivel he wrote. Just a mish-mash of thoughts.

[quote] He's nearing his expiration date.

Oh honey, to coin a phrase, that date was years ago.

R30 Pay attention! He says he's OVERWHELMED and OVERSTIMULATED!!!

I'll be happy to show him what overwhelmed overstimulated really means

Desperate and flailing for attention, but not so much that he's willing to come out.

Its word salad, agreed. He's pathetic. Maybe he could have benefited from a higher education. No teacher would tolerate such gobbledygook.

Someone needs to fuck him senseless, but gag him first.

R37 God yes. Waking up to find him drunkenly trying to get on my dick got so old.

Poor Shawn is probably thinking of happier times, when he and Camila would take their daily pap walks while pretending to drink from coffee mugs and looking as though they really didn't like each other very much.

Vaguebooking or going to rehab for a substance abuse issue?

You know sometimes I feel that he's so much in self-denial that he ACTUALLY thinks he's straight.

He seems to have an inkling of self-awareness but, at the same time, he's too much up his own ass.

[quote] Kids his age think they invented every idea that occurs to them.

It’s a universal thing that happens to every generation. At a certain level of immaturity we think we invented the wheel when a new thought comes into our heads.

If he really posted that himself, he's some really sad, pathetic loser. It's one thing if the management pulls this shit to create some pathetic buzz, but the "star" himself pulling this shit, manipulating his young idiot fan base which is easily freaked out about anything related to their worshiped star? Shame.

This is him lamenting over his career declining. He just released a single and it’s falling down the charts. He was probably told by his label he has to go back and make another one to stick.

His relationship with Camilla ruined his image. That and crying over being called gay.

He’s over!!

Best Twitter response

"Ain't reading all that

So happy for u or i m sorry that happened to u"

Others...

"Did you just come out?'

"So, you're gay then"

😂

She was drunk and vaugetwatting.

*Shrug*

He forgot to mention what the underside of John Mayer’s foreskin smells like.

The only thing I wasn't ready for was the hideous grammar.

THE HORROR

I was hoping he'd tell us which dildo he uses.

*sigh*

This dick loving bitch just needs to come out already.

I actually kinda like 'tryna'.

Ima use it.

It sounds like the kinda stuff I’d write in my journal in my 20’s. I’d never share it surging anyone though. It does almost sound like a preamble to coming out.

Nothing in that ramble makes sense about coming out, for a guy his age, in 2022. It's just nonsense fake-intimate confessional attention seeking.

He's aging out of tween stardom. His fangirls grew up. He's not like Justin Bieber and Harry Styles who have appeal to an older and male demographic either. Shawn needs to make more mature sounding pop music.

[Quote] He forgot to mention what the underside of John Mayer’s foreskin smells like.

Oh honey. John moved along to greener pastures a long time ago.

Miss Thang is testing the waters....expect the People spread to come out within the next year.

Shawn Mendes just made a huge CONFUKSSION!

He could go into acting. He's not good but plenty of actors with little talent get roles for being attractive. Hallmark and Lifetime love casting gay men as hetero love interests.

reminds me of the time David Archuleta came out as an introvert . If Shawn's following that timeline he still has about 6-7 years before he comes out as gay .

^ Up the time line. He expires in 6-7 months.

The bloom is off this rose.

His prose is every bit as inane and insipid as his lyrics.

JFC, how many times do we need to hear about the hurt and pain of teen-aged love?

So he came out as being truthful to himself?

[quote]Shawn Mendes bravely comes out as being in his 20s. Yes king!

Aging has-been closet case - discard.

John Mayer's new boytoy is much cuter.

Aw, he’s just missing his person.

^ You can always tell when a guy is Gay by the way he kisses a girl. NO TOUCHING! 😂

He's misses his bestie

^ The picture that ruined two careers 😂

R68 Ain't that the truth.

^ Exactly!

I'm starting to think this bitch is going to transition.

Why, R73?

looking more feminine, wearing jewelry, talking about personal truth and her unique self and loving that, etc etc

wouldn't surprise me...

R73 me too. This is a lot of bullshit for a simple coming out.

R69 You're thinking in stereotypes. When I lived with the woman I was going to marry I loved to comb and blow dry her hair, long beautiful blond hair... oh wait, I'm gay...

All the cringe and second hand embarrassment wears me out. I'm checking out until I hear of nudes or a sex tape.

he's princess tiny meat, correct?

[quote]he's princess tiny meat, correct?

How the hell would I know?

R80 He's a modest grower, with the right scenery. If he'd come out he could get some regular D and be much happier.

Feminine closet case.

No way he's coming out now. He's starting up a world tour and needs the cash. Maybe after?

WTF even was this rant? At first it sounded like he was coming out, but then it just ended in nothing. It was like he just blurted out his thoughts. He assumed we wanted to know, that we cared. We don't. We don't have to know his every thought. He is clearly fucked up. He needs a therapist.

I love, love, love "tryna." It's my all time favorite Ebonics word. "Tryna" forever!

R85 He needs a thick one in him, and someone to leak a tape of same. If his career crashes far enough, his management will set it up themselves.

On the flip side, however, "conversate" makes me want to rip a bitch's tongue out! Just sayin....

-R86

Mission 8 and we conversate

We can skip lil' talk

Let's get right to the chase

Lol at this news headline... "Shawn Mendes open about insecurities". I swear if people only read the first half they would think he was coming out.

It's such a pathetic attention grab for sympathy. He's a self-hating closet case with moderate looks and musical talent, both of which are fading.

I wish Andy Cohen would just out this bitch already and end his misery. Andy definitely knows all the details via his BFF John Mayer.

If only Perez Hilton was still outing people

......

Did he come out yet or do a desperate, skin-baring career resuscitation a la Nick Jonas?

Nick Jonas's shitty music ruined his career.

Say GAY!

You go gurl.

He unwittingly came charging out of his closet last night on The Tonight Show. Honey, you're not fooling anybody.

R98 Already with the drugs - poor guy. Won't someone fuck Shawn?

Not bad in a suit

R101 He looks quite the earnest Young Republican.
