The popularity of the "incompetent stupid piece of shit husband and competent wife who loves him anyways" trope in media is a psyop to make women believe its normal to settle for an incompetent stupid piece of shit husband

Okay, so Forbidden Fruits is obviously very camp, very satirical, quite silly in places, but I genuinely love that this is at its core a story about lonely women. Like, it is so clear that these people are so alone and thatβs why they come together so forcefully and with such toxicity. Cherry has lost her entire family. Fig was the weird girl without friends in high school. Apple is so very, very queer and angry, living out of her car. Pumpkin is trying to move through grief. Like, yes, this movie is wild and wacky and a spiritual successor to Jenniferβs Body, American Psycho, The Craft, Mean Girlsβbut itβs also weirdly one of the most honest depictions of female relationships Iβve seen in a minute. How easy it is to get obsessed with the first people who seem to see you. How easy it is to fall into the gravity of people who will tell you how to be your best self. How those rules will consume your true identity and replace it with conformity. How you canβt really survive that.
I will never listen to another Bad Omens song ever again because I told one of my guy friends who loves them that I liked a song of theirs and he was like "of course you do, they made that song to prove its easy to get a hit you just have to sell out"
Congrats asshole, now I'll NEVER stream any of their music
