"Baby It's Cold Outside" -- Holiday Song? Rapey?

And demonize anyone who disagrees.

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...

Have we done the Beatles "Run For Your Life" yet?

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.

as mentioned the original score was written by a husband wife team also so i mean

tumblrspeak/twitterspeak words that end in an 'ie' sound are generally horrible

see also: bestie, selfie

you guys would hate Australia

i see you've played knifey-spoony before

smithy otm

now let me tell you about all the prezzies I got for Chrissy

The answer is noey.

rape on the barbie

Rapey holidey

Serious question? What would be a correct adjective to use instead of 'rapey'?

Sexual harassmentey?

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?

Rapist is a noun

I'm more invested in inventing a spurious word for holiday songs that aren't really holiday songs. Holidayey Song?

Festive

Gay

fauxliday songs

also rape-culturey in lieu of rapey

x-posts

noëly

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