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.

lmaooo 

I can’t think of a gayer society than ancient greece

Ancient Greece…followed Christianity…???

Ancient Greece, the civilization that had an island of Lesbians,
homoerotic heroes, had deities that engaged in homosexuality, and
existed 1000 years before Christianity

The Greeks were about Zeus entire DICK not Christianity

I’m sorry I’ve re blogged this like 3 times but this is the FUNNIEST fucking thing I’ve seen in AGES 

Shit someone tell Apollo he’s a Christian

Shit someone tell Apollo he’s straight

let’s stop seeing sex as the biggest thing you can do to show someone you love them

everyone knows that the real way to show someone you love them is to find them a really cool rock. not a diamond. just a neat rock that you think they will enjoy

Not a rock THE  ARKENSTONE 

Why just one rock
Why not three
Why not the silmarils

#i’m pretty sure there’s an entire book on the topic ‘why not silmarils’  (x)

And one on why not the arkenstone

You’re right. Just get them a ring.

do not get them a ring

Can’t not reblog this again
