What... Should my reaction be? Lol do you want us to all crowdfund an emergency evacuation of his wife?
Like... This doesn't even make sense. "We are all ok with it" until five seconds ago I didn't even know about this situation but being responsible or able to help is also a factor and neither of those apply to us so why the fuck would we do anything?
Some of you are just the worst when it comes to falling on a sword for anyone and anything.
Falling on your sword doesn’t mean what you’re trying to imply in this context but I digress.
You’re right, there isn’t a whole lot you can do about this particular example. However it is likely at some point in your life you will witness a relationship that is unhealthy or abusive and then what will you do?
For whatever you think about celebrities the behaviour they exemplify does have an effect about what is permissible in society generally, they set ‘trends’.
Right now in my opinion society (largely the media) is saying it’s all cool and normal and so I’m expressing my frustration in the greatest artistic medium of our time, memes.
