A Scottish women’s charity said Carpenter’s new album cover evokes “tired tropes” of women being “possessions,” while fans have defended her cover as satirical commentary on sexism.

    Also, I don’t see how this is satire.

    Sabrina is pretty openly horny and makes horny music, often about how she likes being in subby roles with men. I think she may just like giving head while getting her hair tugged and wrote some music about it.

      The biggest problem with satire is that people don’t know what satire is. “Satire” sucks now because it isn’t satirical. Words no longer have meanings, everything is just vibes.

      Making an allusion to a concept without any statement at all on that concept? fuck it, that’s satire.

      You mean something figuratively? fuck it, say literally.

      Even prescriptivism is useless, because reading comprehension and media literacy are non-existent.

      Lyrics seem tame but I suppose this is mainstream music? I know some uhh… Less tame stuff.

      It’s what bad modern day satire has turned into which is just “look at me I’m doing the thing”

        Okay but that still suggests some satirical intent. I don’t think she’s gone that far even, I think she just likes the thing and is doing it.
