History YMMV / BillieEilish

* SignatureSong: "Bad Guy".

* BrokenBase: The "Lost Cause" music video surprisingly did create a bit of a stir within the fandom, with the fairly LesYay nature of it bringing up the rather thorny issue of Queerbaiting as well as whether there was inappropriate fan pressure revolving around questions of her sexual identity (similar to other stars like Taylor Swift and Music/ShawnMendes). While it did get nasty for a little bit, it mostly died down after the album's release.

** Eilish has gotten a lot of support and praise for being candid about her issues with body image and dealing forcefully with some of the viscious online hate that's been thrown at her based on her appearence, but there have been some who look at her past and present statements and find a lot of problems with her being (perhaps not always intentionally) thrust up as a symbol of Body Positivity. A lot of that was re-jiggered with the recent Variety interview, where after bringing up those issues she went on a rather eyebrow-raising rant where she gave a {{Strawman}}ed argument that men are never body shamed and only affirmed for their different looks & body types while women are inherently nice and never body shame others cause they only look for the person underneath. Many, including a number of women fans, found that a ridicuously untrue generalization, not only was there instant evidence provided to the contrary but that also brought up [[OldShame past interviews]] where she herself was engaging in that exact thing she says never happens in a rather mean-spirited fashion, and for some who otherwise support her and the Body Positivity movement in general feel like that it makes it to easy to portray her negatively as a Hypocrite or Crybully and/or pushing a percieved and ugly DoubleStandard of who it's [[AcceptableTargets "fair game" to attack for their appeareance]]. Even many who were generally supportive and acknowledged that yes, certainly there's a disproportionate focus & criticism on women's appearence over men in daily life, downplaying the real-life self-esteem issues and body dysmophoria men can definitely go through, or trying to make the issue another lynchpin in the BattleOfTheSexes, does much more harm than good.

** "What Was I Made For?", which serves as the closing track for Film/{{Barbie}}. Eilish herself told her fans go "get ready to sob" upon its release and she wasn't exaggerating.
