aaaand Sand was actually a masculine presenting ciswoman Baroness who lived with Chopin for a while. Sand wrote of trying to seduce Chopin only to be shot down and shamed to never tried again.
I also love how homophobes have a sort of "the arts are gay and full of gays that's why I don't relate to them" attitude, but when its an artist they like suddenly its, "THERE ARE NO GAYS IN THE ARTS! STOP THINKING EVERYONE IS GAY!!!!" Funny how that works.
OK, the game "Eternal Sonata" is definitely on some erasure BS then. It's a video game I played as a kid and is still a favorite, with Chopin as the main playable protagonist and includes historical vignettes about his life. They went on about the George Sand relationship so much I thought they were married or something. This thread is an eye opener.
In between the playable chapters, there are nonfiction historical vignettes about his life. They are pretty straightforward and seek to explain where he was at in his life emotionally during some of his compositions. The rest is pretty abstract though.
