Re: How is Blurred Lines rapey?

I've heard people argue that the "blurred lines" are the blurred lines of consent, and since there's never a blurred line about consent, it's rapey, but then I've also seen people claim that the "blurred lines" are the blurred lines between what woman are supposed to "want" and what the woman in the song *actually* wants (dirty kinky animalistic sex)

on the rapey side again, people are claiming that some of the lyrics, such as "you know you want it" were used by rapists, therefor the song is about rape, to which I just kind of "o_O;;" because those words can be used in other contexts as well (are you sure you don't want this [food item], come on, you know you want it!), does that make those contexts rapey too?

tl;dr: anon hasn't even ever listened to the fucking song and is already sick of the controversy

Seriously, listen to the song.

I'm not defending the video, that's outright skeezy.

Another opinion - the "blurred lines" are the lines in the woman's mind. She's a good girl, so she has this sexual "line" she won't cross. Probably she's married (see "that man is not your maker"). But the song is about her being out at a club and this guy being blown away by how hot she is and she is sending him some signals that she's attracted to him ("the way you grab me, must want to get nasty"), hence blurring that line she won't cross in her head. Because this guy isn't going to get anywhere with her, he hates those "blurred lines." But that doesn't mean he doesn't spend the whole song trying to talk her into sleeping with him.

If a rapist says "I love you, I want you," while raping, does it make those phrases unusable in any form or context ever that plays in public?
