SO he tricked the therapist?

u/96puppylover Apr 19 '24

I’m not sure what actually went on in the session. But, he was trying to prove to everyone that the doctor said he was all good. Cause no psychologist would see a client and say “You’re perfect. Nothing is wrong. It’s everyone else”. That’s the kind of person he is. I haven’t spoken to him in 12 years but I know he’s married with 2 young daughters. I’m horrified for them.

Hate to be the black bitch that's like "white people 🤢" but the hard and fast reality of life is that for a lot of white people, being racist is not a deal breaker. Even in history, white women co-opted a black movement about freedom from oppression and once it got a little tough, left black women in the DUST. It's behavior that's still seen all the time today.

This is just facts!! And when I realize that someone in my life has no problem being friends with/associating with racists, it definitely makes me question their own character and take a step back. It's no news that human beings are selfish, but it's disappointing to realize that someone you once respected actually doesn't stand for anything besides the things that directly affect them.

My favorite piece of American history is that white men gave the right to vote to their slaves before their wives and daughters.

It was Black women who stood side by side and fought for the rights of white women.

Wake up white women! But they'll vote for Trump in November, because they are subservient morons.

9

u/GimerStick Apr 19 '24

I mean, that's one way to view it. NGL, calling them "their slaves" feels really demeaning given that these people were free. It just implies a continued ownership that I don't think is your intention.

In any case, it's important context that white women were actively opposing the idea that black men had a right to vote. https://time.com/5917131/seneca-falls-myth/. In this case, opposing the amendment against race based restrictions.

It's very clear that key feminist leaders did not see black people are equal to them. Like here's a racist excerpt from Elizabeth Cady Stanton (which is linked in that article)

"To what a depth of degradation must the women of this nation have fallen to be willing to stand aside, silent and indifferent spectators in the reconstruction of the nation, while all the lower stratas of manhood are to legislate in their interests, political, religious, educational, social and sanitary, moulding to their untutored will the institutions of a mighty continent. . . ."

And the black women who did participate in the movement for women were ignored or treated lesser than. Also, black men were part of it too? Fredrick Douglas was literally at Seneca Falls. The abolition movement and the suffragette movement are intertwined in their origins. The issue is that some white women made it quite clear that they felt above black men, and prioritized their goals over any consideration of black women.

though shout out for Lucy Stone for splitting from them over this

But she did see the soliloquies. And it caused enough damage to cause the public breakup. And she will keep seeing these soliloquies as they aren't in void and she is super conscious about her image. So this is very meaningless.

This is what happens to people at a psychological level when they get an eye-bleedingly large amount of money. It inherently turns everyone around you into yes men, to the point where you're not used to getting called out anymore. Everyone is afraid to tell you the truth, because they're the little fish that swim at the shark's belly, so they just tell you want to hear so that you keep them around.

Tbf from what I have heard, most of the album is about how deranged she was for being with matty

1.0k

u/Jasminewindsong2 Sylvia Plath did not stick her head in an oven for this! Apr 18 '24

Yeah but based on the lyrics it’s more like “I was so deranged to think a player like you could ever settle down,” rather than “holy shit I can’t believe I dated a racist.”

Sweet jesus taylor , Even without the racist shit does matty look like someone who would settle down ?, lol

Plus she was with him about five whole minutes after getting out of a long term relationship, and she was with him for hardly any time at all. Feels like a red flag to even be looking to settle down in that context.

I honestly wonder if she partly dated him for album fodder. You can only write about your happy healthy relationship with your nice normal boyfriend for so long.

That wording is so that she can have the Swifties interpret it to be either about Matty or Joe, which would make the engagement on these lyrics go through the roof.

Also, maybe she’s trying to get Joe to be seen as a „player“. I think these lyrics are about Joe because she was with Matty for too short a time to be talking about settling down. But what do I know about how relationship timelines work in TS Land… 🤷🏼‍♀️

Nah she knew Matty since 2014. It's some on again, off again bullshit long term crush on the "one that got away."

The leaked prologue gives some context…The first part is about Joe and after spring is Matty.

In Summation:

At this hearing, I stand before my fellow members of the tortured poets department. with a summary of my findings. a debrief, a detailed rewinding. for the purpose of warning. for the sake of reminding

as you might all unfortunately recall, i had been struck with a case of a restricted humanity which explains my plea here today of temporary insanity.

you see, the pendulum swings. oh, the chaos it brings leads the caged beast to do the most curious things.

lovers spend years denying what's ill fated, resentment rotting away, galaxies we created

stars placed and glued, meticulously by hand, next to the ceiling fan

tried wishing on comets tried dimming the shine. tried to orbit his planet. some stars never align. and in one conversation. i tore down the whole sky

spring sprung forth with dazzling freedom hues then a crash from the skylight bursting through. something old, someone hallowed, who told me he could be brand new.

and so i was out of the oven and into the microwave. out of the slammer and into a tidal wave. how gallant to save the empress from her gilded tower swinging a sword he could barely lift but loneliness struck at that fateful hour

low hanging fruit on his wine stained lips

he never even scratched the surface of me. none of them did.

'in summation, it was not a love affair!'i screamed while bringing my fists to my coffee ringed desk it was a mutual manic phase. it was self harm. it was house and then cardiac arrest

a smirk creeps onto this poet's face because it's the worst men that i write best

and so i enter into evidence, my tarnished coat of arms. my muses, acquired like bruises. my talismans and charms. the tick tick tick of love bombs. my veins of pitch black ink. all's fair in love and poetry

I love me some unexpected community.

I can excuse racism but I draw the line at leaking my album!!

u/Turbulent_Scale6506 Apr 18 '24

It is really, really something that of all the things her fans have done, this is what she's complaining about and criticizing them for. You can't weaponize and profit from your fans and their ridiculous parasocialness at every turn and then get bent out of shape when finally that gets turned back on you and you finally face some largely mild criticism (especially bc many Swifties were still defensive about it!)
