* AscendedFanon: "UNISIL", the bonus off of the physical release of ''Product'', was uploaded by a fan onto Youtube with a stock 3D render of a bouncy castle as its image, playing into the same minimalist motif of Sophie's ''Product''-era singles.

Sophie's identity was initially concealed in interviews through voice masking, as well as by covering parts of Sophie's body, and so little was known about her that prior to coming out as a trans woman, some commentators accused Sophie of "feminine appropriation", on the assumption that Sophie was a man using a female stage name.[[note]]Her responses when asked about it didn't help, such as in a 2013 ''Pitchfork'' interview (conducted via e-mail), in which when asked about the choice of Sophie as a stage name, the artist responded: "It tastes good and it's like moisturizer."[[/note]] One infamous incident was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxM0bxsJEuI a Boiler Room liveset in 2014]], where she paid a drag performer to mime a DJ set on stage while she stood nearby as a bodyguard.
