#and female artists involved are probably not in control of their content atp

[ovaruling]

something to be said for the fact that people have enough self-control to write a full thesis on why it’s still ok to listen to misogynistic music but cannot themselves go a single day without streaming the misogynistic music. we uphold the culture of misogyny every time we stream it or add it to a playlist etc even if we don’t agree with the lyrics. like. how is this not clicking. it’s direct support. most likely no one is ever gonna tap dance out from behind a bush and ask you for your nuanced opinion on it, and it wouldn’t even matter if they did if you’ve already given that artist and label uncountable reasons to keep making this kind of music cuz we keep telling them with our purchasing and streaming and editing and trending power that as long as it’s catchy enough for you they can say whatever they want about women

#there are licherally songs abt wanting to murder women like #there has to be more of an effort here #or at least an acknowledgement?? #music is so so so influential and it has a chokehold on our culture #and most of what is popular is misogynistic #and female artists involved are probably not in control of their content atp #music needs an audience to be successful. we literally have that power. it could not be easier to do
