* Reading the lyrics to "All the Things She Said" can do it.
** The Russian version, "Ya Soshla S Uma", is even more depressing. Where "All The Things She Said" is fairly abstract, "Ya Soshla S Uma" describes the protagonist being told her orientation is a disease, being sent to [[CureYourGays conversion "therapy"]], being abused by her parents, and possibly [[DrivenToSuicide committing suicide]] at the end.

* 10 years after the peak of their success, gay rights in Russia has gotten to the point where even ''mentioning'' that you aren't heterosexual in public is enough to warrant an arrest (or, as they call it, "propaganda"). Their efforts failed.
* Their 2014 split looks almost exactly like a relationship breakup. First Lena posts a video about wanting nothing to do with Julia, then Julia replies with one about "sorting out their differences". The "Love in Every Moment" video highlights this unintentionally by them being in different rooms by Lena's choice, and Julia hugging it out with a FakeShemp of Lena.
* Ivan Shapovalov's treatment of them. At one point, he told Lena she was "too fat" to be a star and she actually [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqiBCma7NBE fainted]] one day from not eating. He also kept instructing Yulia to continue screaming in their songs, and she developed a vocal cyst which [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpGDXrji7Fc permanently damaged her voice]], even after surgery. Not to mention the other things shown in their ''Anatomy of t.A.T.u.'' documentary and ''Podnebesnaya''.
* Yulia's homophobic statements towards gay men. Coming out to your parents is a huge fear for gays. Coming out and having your parents not accept your sexuality is another. The fact Yulia admitted she would condemn ''her own son'' for being gay (while adding that [[DoubleStandard she]] ''[[DoubleStandard would]]'' [[DoubleStandard accept a lesbian daughter]]) felt like a betrayal of trust from their largely-queer fanbase. "Malchik Gay" is downright impossible to listen to now.
