oof. i feel like imma get dragged by melanie stans but this needed to be said and you guys wanted it so here ya go.
btw no this won't turn into one of those "reasons why your fave is problematic books". this is the only chapter that'll be like this.
this chapter doesn't involve any opinions. these are simply facts.
melanie martinez.
i'm not gonna lie. i remember enjoying her music. but one night i decided to really listen to her music and read the lyrics. then i just stopped immediately. (this was before the whole rape situation)
she romanticizes/fetishizes the following:
-mental illness
-sexual assault
-children
-death
-suicide
-pedophilia
and
-abuse
sippy cup romanticizes violence, gore and suicide
"Blood still stains when the sheets are washed Sex don't sleep when the lights are off Kids are still depressed when you dress them up And syrup is still syrup in a sippy cup"
"Tag You're It" uses so much imagery that romanticizes sexual assault and the cover for the single is literally a wolf anthropomorphized to look like an adult holding a child with a smirk and associating the song with a heavily romanticized presentation of CSA. She uses a childhood game of tag as if a childhood game is somehow an acceptable metaphor for sexual assault.
"Milk and Cookies" romanticizes mental illness and death.
She has repeatedly romanticized toxic behavior.
what timothy said was so unbelievably descriptive, that there had to be at least some truth in it.

"she never said no"
i'm-
the absence of "no" does not mean "yes"
the absence of "no" does not mean "yes"
the absence of "no" does not mean "yes"
the absence of "no" does not mean "yes"
now this has turned into me going off but anyways. that night when those accusations were made i remembering being so proud that i never fully stanned this girl.
but now this whole story is all over the place and all i know, is that i am nowhere near melanie's side.
i might delete this chapter because i feel like imma lose a tON of followers and the stans will attack.
