Behind the Bastards

CHAPTER

Art and Identity Under Siege

This chapter recounts the authors' confrontations with far-right groups following the release of their music video 'Phantom,' which sparked a moral panic reminiscent of the Satanic Panic. The discussion highlights the challenges faced by artists, particularly queer and trans individuals, in navigating an increasingly hostile sociopolitical landscape while exploring themes of gender identity and societal expectations. The chapter emphasizes the complexities of artistic expression against a backdrop of ideological scrutiny and the psychological impacts of conformity to gender norms.
