In 2014, I resolve to blame the victim more often.

it makes a big difference how it's sung (the woman could sound like she's damn well fine with what's in the drink, the dude could violently shriek "WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO WITH MY PRIDE?"), but it IS a song that tries to suggest something romantic and playful in a dynamic that clearly has a coercive if not predatory element. That's more then enough reason to hate a christmas song - far be it from me to defend ANY holiday song, really.

Well said. I haven't heard the song in ages so I can't really offer an opinion, but I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who enjoy the song without being rapists.
Next thing ya know, you'll be saying Nirvana's Polly is rapey. Oh wait...

not so much rapey as abusive iirc

as in, rapey implies some kind of grey area whereas there really isn't much grey area in Run For Your Life
ugh why did I say anything i will stop talking now

I would vote rapey. As Je55e mentioned the original score is divided as an interaction between the Wolf and the Mouse so it is meant that the wolf is being agressive and ill intended towards the mouse. There's also the ambiguity in the 'what's in this drink?' line.
― Moka, Tuesday, 31 December 2013 18:46 (twelve years ago)
as mentioned the original score was written by a husband wife team also so i mean

what does it mean to act rapey? does it mean to do things that rapists do - eg raping? in which case why do you need the term rapey when you can use the term rapist?

Rapey afaik stands for a person that gives creepy sexual vibes. Not necessarily a rapist.
