Why did Brendon Urie Is Over Party start trending?
In the thread, @dinasapphic posted a video from a past concert in which Brendon states: 'I wish I was born black so I could wear the clothes I wear without getting made fun of.' He then states that black people are able to wear whatever they want but white people aren't.
There is also a video in the thread in which Brendon says to a crowd that he wants to 'fuck them whether they want him to or not', comments in which he compares Caitlyn Jenner coming out as trans to Rachel Dolezal claiming she's black and a snippet from an old interview in which he uses a transphobic slur.
Given that many of these comments were made years ago, Panic! fans have rushed to defend Brendon and argue that he's changed and these remarks no longer represent him. In the case of the transphobic slur, Brendon apologised for it in his Twitch livestream. He said: 'I am so deeply sorry. I felt sick to my stomach when I realised how hurtful that word is.'

used the t slur instead of simply saying 't slur' when quoting someone in an interview- the interview never came out but he has admitted to doing it. to be fair, he has apologized for this. i hate to using brendon urie vines' video because she's the same person-

As it stands, Brendon hasn't addressed the backlash. We shall update you if he does.
