Those types of people see rape everywhere. Look at "Baby, it's cold inside" as another example.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-20 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know about inside, but the one that said outside was kinda rapey.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-20 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh huh heh heh huh huh huh

Yeah, why on earth would anyone in their right mind see rape in a song that is almost entirely about a man trying to coerce a woman into staying with him when she'd really rather not, that includes the line "what's in this drink"?

Next they're going to be claiming that it's rape when someone tricks the object of their affection into thinking they're their SO to get around that pesky "the person I want to fuck doesn't want to fuck me" problem.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-21 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
That isn't what is happening in the song. at all.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-21 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you! It's a flirty song.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-21 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Right? Like it doesn't even mention sexual contact anywhere, rme at these people. If you're going to start seeing every pop and lyrical song as a metaphor for rape, then enjoy being stuck to instrumental classical.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-21 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
1) Implication. It's a thing.

2) I'll gladly listen to instrumental classical the rest of my life over anything with lyrics.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-21 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
What you are inferring is not what is necessarily being implied.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-21 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
That's exactly what's happening in the song.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-21 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Not really. Try looking up historical context.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-21 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Because it's about context.

"Say, what’s in this drink” is a well-used phrase common in movies of the time period, and isn’t used in the same manner any longer. The phrase generally referred to someone saying or doing something they thought they wouldn’t in normal circumstances; it’s a nod to the idea that alcohol is “making” them do something unusual. But the joke is almost always that there is nothing in the drink. The drink is the excuse.

There, now you can enjoy a decades-old song without having to worry about rape.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-21 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Absolutely.

The song overall is about WANTING to stay, and making excuses for it that are believable so that other people who might find out won't judge, and even, in a way, making excuses 1-1 and to herself (as traditionally sung by a woman.)

THANK YOU!!!

(Anonymous) 2016-05-21 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope, it's still rapey to me. Sorry, not sorry.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-21 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Everything is rapey to people like you.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-21 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Better safe than sorry.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-22 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Learn how to argue better. "Everything is rapey to people like you" is simply attacking the person and doesn't contribute anything.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-22 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
It's been proven what the song is about and they're still arguing that it's about rape. There's not much left to be said.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-21 10:08 am (UTC)(link)
I'd be interested to hear what historical context we're missing to understand the true flirty meaning of blurred lines
