men weaponize art against women
notable examples of this include:
that one college guy who was going to play the piano on campus until his ex took him back
the game designer who tried to propose to his (now ex) girlfriend via the spider man video game
the song “hey there, delilah”. written abt a girl who was in a relationship w another man
any time a guy tries to use art to manipulate a woman into loving him and/or giving him what he wants, he’s wielding it as a weapon
imma be real with you, this post put my iq in the double digits
i’m glad i could improve it!
Alternate take: men use art to express their emotions, and that’s beautiful.
That one college guy wrote and/or played songs that expressed his emotions in ways he’d never been able to fully express before.
The game designer took a medium he worked in, and one his (now ex) girlfriend enjoyed, and wanted to propose in a way that is both memorable and inclusive of both of them.
The song “Hey There, Delilah” is about a struggling musician in a long-distance relationship with a girl he loves very much, so much so as to express it in a song that would hopefully help him provide some financial support to their relationship, and also to reassure her of his love for her.
Guys will use art far more often to express their affections and emotions than they will to manipulate women.
@beckette Take your hate and leave. Stop trying to stop men from expressing their emotions.
i know you really think you Did That, but none of that is true:
the college guy was literally trying to publicly shame and manipulate a girl who broke up with him into taking him back (he got punched in the head because he was playing the piano on the college campus at like, midnight, or something, and thank god).
the guy, who i have been corrected was not actually game designer, but just a guy who wanted a favor, was in a relationship that he knew was going downhill. his ex-girlfriend didn’t care about video games and didn’t want him to propose. as a bonus, after he published his story about it, the woman had to deactivate all her social media accounts due to unrelenting harassment.
“hey there delilah” was NOT written about the singer’s girlfriend. she was at most, a friend of his, and was in a relationship with another man. the song included an uncomfortable amount of personal details, and lead to people accusing her of being a cheater.
i fully encourage that everyone, regardless of their gender, express their emotions in a healthy way. the way these emotions are being expressed, at the very least, made the intended targets uncomfortable, and lead to two innocent women being harassed because of the way men twisted the public perception of them.
