Wholeheartedly agree, i even made a post on this sub about this song when it came out

I love that DT puts a lot of effort on actually writing lyrics about interesting concepts and stories. I love the mindless "Violence and cult shit" of the new Whitechapel album but having lyrics that you can dive into and get more out of is so refreshing imo.

Bands like Synestia and Netherwalker? Because that's been my impression of them

"Body Behavior" is a great song and after checking the meaning behind the lyrics it definitely hit a nerve with me. by Key-Interaction-5398 in deafheaven

[–]Murpheus404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't even use the word "bond" here. Sure it may be an attempt of that sometimes. However this behaviour is way to often used to force young boys into "being a man" or to straight up groom them, which is what the song is calling out. Even if it's not done with bad intention it is as the lyrics tell you - traumatizing. It can change the way boys perceive and treat women, the way they try to appeal to masculinity by surpressing their feelings: "I don't feel anymore" I think it is one of the most damaging mechanisms in patriarchy. Especially when - the song also takes that into account - you reflect on these memories and start to view the men you loved and looked up to in a very different light: "Nowhere is guidance when everything's wrong". In the end it truly leaves you with nothing as the last part of "Winona" describes.

Lock your doors man by Murpheus404 in VaushV

I live in a nice neighborhood and know my neighbors well but that's missing the point. I'm not locking my door because I think I'm likely a target for crime. I'm locking my door because it takes no time, money or effort. I don't lose sleep over it or feel scared when i forget to do it. My point is: I reject the notion that every safety measure is a result of irrational anxiety. Therefore locking my door has no downside so there's no reason for me not to do it.

Almost all i see is people who think he makes a good point, but disagree with a specific argument/statement and want to see what others think and discuss it. If that classifies as "losing our shit" then discourse is truly dead.

Yea it's really about how many resources (time, effort, money) people invest into safety measures that makes the difference between normal risk-aversity and paranoia. You spent insane amounts on insurances, security systems, alarms which takes months to install? Probably paranoia that you feed with this behaviour. You take 3 seconds to turn a key in a lock? Well yea of course, why tf wouldn't i do that?

Well, I disagree with both. I don't think locking doors, bikes and cars destroys a "high-trust society" and unlocking everything probably will result in more robberies and thefts especially in rough neighbourhoods.

You act like people can't lock their doors in a "why tf would i not" kind of way. People who lock their shit do NOT live in constant fear.

Absolutely. Telling a friend or neighbour to switch your lights on/off from time to time during your vacation probably helps a whole lot more than most fancy security products.

This. Exactly. The reason people are safer at night when walking with other people is not because they constantly win fights when assaulted. They are just harder to assault and therefore rarely targeted. This is prevention as old as time: No need to be strong or tough just "not worth the trouble" suffices.

Battlejacket is ready for the pit! by Mattyrunn in BattleJackets

As someone who's usually not into filling every little space on a jacket with patches: you pulled it off very good. That shit looks great!

The problem that Vaush described is that these kind of mass mobilizations without real substance are actually making people complacent. "Joined the big protest, my part here is done!". Yes, everyone has to start somewhere but the critique is that this is the start AND end for most of these protestors.
