    Look I’ll be that guy. Someone cheats - drop em. Say your piece. Whatever. But if you are making a book deal on it… Or profiteering off the situation? That’s subhuman.

    If he did that? Piece of shit, absolutely.

    But if shes taking creative license and publicising her “side of the story”… And looking to profit off it? Nah. You lost me. If anything it sounds like they deserved each other. I sure as fuck would steer clear of both of em.

    You have two consenting adults acting like anything but.

      This is literally Taylor Swift’s whole oeuvre. Everyone deals with breakups their own way, some people write long overly descriptive songs and profit off of salacious lyrics.

        Id argue that she also had something of a bit of musical talent and ability to write other songs as well… But on that note - I’d still express the same opinion. Regardless of who you are or even what your standing is - using a public platform to effectively slander another individual while you air your (interpersonal) grievances isn’t… acceptable. Weve seen many examples of why that shouldn’t be a thing. I understand the draw… But it doesn’t make it right - or a good thing to do.

          Fully agree. You’d have to be a bigger piece of shit than cheating and having a sex dungeon.

          Possibly hiring hookers might be enough though… 🤔

      Subhuman is when you express your life experiences creatively as a commercial artist. Very cool, very hinged take.

      I remember when I first listened to Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors and thought “This isn’t one of the greatest raw emotional albums of all time, no, this is disgusting subhuman noise. Keep cheating men’s private sins private”

        Do point out to me where I said keep anyone’s anything private. I said the act of publicly profiting off of their side of a story was the sub human act. It is, quite literally, selling a story which may (and frequently is) embellished at the others expense.

        This isn’t making lemonade with lemons… Its shit human behavior. And before you forget that I pointed it out: so was the cheating. Thus: they deserved each other.

        But yes: read half of my statement and distill it into “woman bad” or whatever nonsense you were ragebaiting over.

        Very cool, very hinged take.

        Indeed.
