What the gently caress is going on? I swear that I read every part of this conversation already in a different thread, like, post for post. Next somebody is going to reply to that last post saying that it's a spoonerism, not an anagram.

I was thinking the same thing. It was weird. I think it's from way earlier in this thread though.

My Bloody Valentine is the name of both a band and a slasher movie, which is probably a play on My Funny Valentine, a jazz standard from the late 1930s.

These two peoples' shoehorning in 'consent!!!!' for relevance because they're nobody artists desperate for attenion is cringeworthy, but the song itself is pretty disgusting, and talking about consent is cool and good.

Yeah, the lyrics sound skeevy when divorced from all context and authorial intent but if you actually look at it in light of the writer's intentions (as well as the time in which it was written) it becomes a lot less sinister.


In this context it's not skeevy at all, just a playful back and forth between two people who both want the same thing. He's not pressuring her to stay against her will, she wants to spend the night with him. But she also feels social pressure to maintain propriety, so he's making up excuses for her to use in order to disregard the demands of said pressure and do what she wants to do. The song was written in 1944, as a young single woman at that time if you were gonna spend the night with someone you weren't married to then you better have had a good excuse for your parents as to why you didn't come home.

If knowing all that you still think the song is skeevy and sounds like a rape in progress then I don't know what to tell you.

Whoa, media from almost 100 years ago sounds different in the cultural context of today's modern listener and the changed meaning might now seem offensive?!?!

Don't burn yourself on this hot take, bro.

I think it's more that a lot of people are ignoring that as originally written and performed (by the songwriter and his wife no less, if you want to really establish intent) she absolutely does want to stay and is looking for a pretext to do so, social norms considered.

Changing social norms are one thing certainly, but there seems to be this push that the song was about date rape even then and we just didn't recognize it as such, which is not really true.

The song is dated, but that doesn't mean that consensual sex didn't exist in the past.

Yeah but nobody is looking up the cultural relevance of a song they hear randomly in the supermarket. It didn't quite sound as bad back then, and there's apparently this context that pretty much everyone misses where she also wants to stay. Nobody says consensual sex didn't exist, that's a weird thing to take from hearing the song 'sounds a bit aggressive' which is the actual intent of the complaint 'the song sounds sorta rapey'. The song can come across pretty gross even if it wasn't written with the intent of being gross, and even if the message is not gross when you fully understand the historical context of the song and the intent of the female partner in the back and forth, it can still, justifiably, make people feel skeeved out when they hear it.

Like, you and that other dude who got a rage boner when I called him out are just missing that people have opinions about media sometimes that aren't 100% based in facts. And that's an ok thing.

I don't think we're really disagreeing on anything here. The case you're talking about is critical quality-of-life health and safety poo poo that should have been funded and fixed. My point, to the extent that I had one, was that giving more money to a school system doesn't necessarily correlate into better-educated students, especially if the administration is corrupt or incompetent. There are excellent schools that don't get much funding, and school systems that don't get results even though they're like trying to smother a dumpster fire with money. Institutional attitude and motivation counts for a lot.

ok, you're right sometimes people are incompetent even if they work in schools. good point, very useful.

my husband got me some colored pencils for christmas and I was like oh neat thanks but he called them 'map pencils' and apparently that's just what they're called in his part of texas? why????? every time he says it I have to take a second to figure out what the gently caress he said

I'm an artist, we've been together for over four years, and this has only come up now, too

I'm from DFW originally and yes, that is a common term for them.

Never really thought about it as a regional thing, but young me assumed it was because we used them to color in maps in grade school when doing geography class, but who knows what the real reason is.

What the gently caress is sometimes W in English.

In words like 'low' the w makes up the second part of the diphthong. Letters themselves aren't actually 'vowels' they're just letters, but rather the sound you make is the 'vowel sound'.

The question has the presupposition that the tiny horses will be trying to kill you. Killing 100 tiny horses with your bare hands would be hard, and exhausting. Still a better option than the giant duck tho.

Just start kicking them around, ducks are tiny and horses are, as mentioned, very fragile. You'd almost immediately break all their legs and they'd be rendered harmless with like 30 seconds of kicking at most.

I guess it might be tedious to strangle them all individually if you had to kill and not just disable them.
