Reply to comment by Rporrangel in I showed her my music and she stopped replying. by Rporrangel

i don’t think misogyny and addiction make a fun or acceptable character to put on. if this is truly not how you think and view the world, why would u ask the second question? it seems very contrary to say “this is completely not me… but why should i have to sugarcoat my truth to fit in with society?” i do judge artists by what they put in their work. especially when they are expressing bigotry through it, character or not. i think you’ve got your answer as to why this woman stopped responding— you scared her off with your musical “character” and she feels uncomfortable with what you’ve expressed through your music.

So basically you are saying “I prefer listening to vanilla music, because those artists are that way in real life cause their work defines them?”

Ex: Drake Bell has some lovely lyrics… and well don’t have to tell you the rest of the story. Jared Leto Katy Perry

A lot of artists and famous people have proven that it’s so easy to preach about love and act differently.

I respect your wee opinion but definitely do not agree with you at all.

no, i didn’t say any of that. that’s a really inaccurate paraphrasing of my points. let me simplify:

•misogyny is not cool, interesting, or artistic

•misogyny is not an appealing character to put on

•why would you write these lyrics if you’re not like, an incel?

•you asked why she stopped replying after you sent her this crap, and i told you. you don’t have to agree or disagree. i can almost guarantee this is why she doesn’t talk to you anymore.

any questions?
