Can I just say how happy it makes me that Bojan basically shouted out non-binary people in the radio Center interview? 🥹 I don't think people from countries west of Slovenia realise how little understanding there is in Slovene society of what it means to be non-binary (or even that non-binary people are a thing that exists). So for a band that's as well-known in Slovenia as Joker Out is atm to point out that there aren't only "girls" at their shows, but guys and non-binary people as well... Idk, but to me, as a Slovenian, that's huge. I love Joker Out so much, I can't believe such a band came from my country. 🥺🥺

(I could also go on a rant how annoyed I am at the constant heteronormativity from interviewers who cannot shut up about "girls," but that's a topic for another day.)

Also, decided to write this in English so everyone can read it.

Hello and thank you for this ask (Hvala 🙏) I'll answer in English as well, so it reaches a wider audience because the topic is important and I had the exact same thoughts, and it was also one of the reasons why I insisted that we translate this whole thing, because I know that this specific mention is just SO important for non-binary people, because it's literally so rare that non-binary people are even mentioned in Slovene mass media! 😭

And, of course, in addition pointing out (and basically calling the interviewer out for heteronormative language by doing so) that it's not just girls singing (ugh, it's really frustrating when they use this language, I completely understand you!). Bojan is honestly so based for that answer, and a real green flag! 💗

Here's the full answer in context:

Hi Joker Out Tumblr!

I’m not very active here but after seeing all the comments regarding the recent JokerOutSubs interview in London I had to respond.

I was the one who went to go and interview them in London and the response over the last couple of days has been incredibly emotional, and incredibly overwhelming, so firstly, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, for making me so indescribably happy. Seeing people say that they felt safe watching this interview, and that it’s going to be a comfort video for them, actually brought me to tears on a number of occasions.

I wanted to respond to a few comments that I’ve seen. The questions were mostly devised by me and @alephai . When we were perfecting the questions and going over ways we could make them as respectful as possible, she suggested that we ask permission from Bojan before jumping into personal questions about his anxiety. I immediately agreed and I’m so glad we insisted on keeping it in, even as the questions went through several redrafts. We are both strong advocates of mental health acceptance, and I certainly understand on a personal level how challenging it can be to talk about. We wanted to make sure he had the opportunity to not talk about it, if he didn’t want to, and we were prepared for multiple scenarios.

We also decided right from the beginning that we didn’t want to put our own interpretations on the band. We wanted to frame the questions so they could answer anything they wanted to them, and make it clear that we’re not trying to sensationalise or find some kind of clickbaity quote. A looooot of thought, time and effort went into the questions and we think that the band could sense that there was a lot of love, respect, and genuine admiration for what they do in them. We’re really glad everyone else noticed it too!

We were also really mindful that the questions flowed neatly into one another - for instance, the questions about Bojan’s anxiety got steadily less personal and lighter so it would move smoothly into the questions about music. Again I’ve seen loads of comments about this and it’s so validating to see that the hard work put in was noticed.

We were extremely mindful of appropriate boundaries, and kept the knowledge that we’re ultimately strangers to them front and centre. The main goal on the day was to be as professional as possible. I’m genuinely so happy that they felt relaxed and comfortable enough to open up. I’m glad to say there was never a moment in the room where there was any tension, it truly felt like having a chat with friends! Afterwards, Bojan asked me if I were a professional journalist (which I am not) and it really made me incredibly happy. They are all absolutely sweethearts and some of the warmest, kindest people I’ve had the pleasure to spend an hour with.

The aftermath of the interview was one of the most intense weeks of my life and I have to shout out to every member of @jokeroutsubs who worked on this one. The dedication I saw from the subtitles, translators and video editors was insane. Lots of conversations at mad hours of the morning trying to get this out to the highest possible quality, and I am, as ever, bowled over by the JOS team. To say that joining up with them has been life changing is an absolute understatement, and I’m glad to say that through JOS I’ve met a series of women without whom I can no longer imagine my life. Strong, intelligent women from all over Europe who I now consider to be my sisters, and whom I love incredibly dearly.

I have to mention the message at the end of the interview. This was the product of many months of conversation about the impact of Joker Out on Slovene society between me and several members of the slo team, something that it’s been amazing to learn about from the perspective of an English girl, and we’re so glad we had an opportunity to tell them. Massive thank you again for all the voice notes I was sent to help me practice my pronunciation. I wanted to make sure it was as good as I could possibly manage to show my respect for the Slovenian people, language and culture.

Lastly I wanted to say thank you for all the messages I’ve received complimenting me on this interview. Credit in this case has to be shared between so many people. It was truly a team effort and I’m just so happy I could contribute in giving something back to a band I love and admire, and a community that embraced me with open arms during a difficult time in my life.

I love you all, and thank you all for your wonderful words. X

"Host: Cool. How do you act if you see one girl somewhere and you like her?

Bojan: I usually try to find out who the girl is as quickly as possible, then sneak into some of the places where she's hanging around, you know? "

everytime I see a comment on a Ski Aggu Video asking for a translation of what he said I realize how insanely important the JOS team (and tbh everyone who does translations) is cause I rely on them so much

Stozice

Sorry for not posting so much, life has been busy. But Stozice (my keyboard doesn’t offer the little thing on the z) yesterday was amazing. I was watching from the joker.out.subs. Livestream and it was amazing. I am so happy to be part of this fandom and proud of how far the boys have come even though this adventure is only just starting for me. I can’t wait to see them in December, but until them this is filling my joker out needs. Unforgettable experience.

I like that he said “to him” first and only then “to her”.
