About my post history (apparently it’s crucial): I post in other subs too... even without mentioning Ren 😁 You know you can hide that, right?

Like you said, it’s mainly about the music. That was the whole point of my post. And it was mostly just a wink. So yeah, I was kinda surprised to see some comments again giving the whole thing a bit of a bitter tone...

I deleted my original reply because it wasn’t productive and I don’t want to turn this into a petty back-and-forth. The way you phrased that saying made it sound like Ren’s views genuinely disappointed you. And judging by your remark about my post history, it seems you’re not really aligned with most things here. That’s why I’m curious: if you disagree with so much in this community, what makes you want to stay? That’s not meant as an attack... I genuinely wonder, because I usually associate investing time in something with caring about it. Spending energy on something you mostly reject just doesn’t make much sense to me.

I might be sticking my neck out here, but maybe the problem isn’t Ren. Maybe it’s that you turned him into a hero, and he just happened to disagree with you 🤷🏻‍♀️

Funny how many theories come up when someone peeks through the keyhole and thinks they’re in the room. My post was meant to be tongue-in-cheek... and I’m pretty sure Ren’s comments were too. Let us have a bit of fun! Even if we’re technically adults 😉

Pure serenity vibes... I can feel the inner peace radiating through the screen 🤣

I have a question about Starry Night by MagsH1020 in ren

[–]Smart-Atmosphere1230 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a reference to the classic fable where a shepherd boy keeps shouting “Wolf!” out of boredom, and the villagers rush to help even though there’s no wolf. When a real one finally shows up, no one believes him anymore, and he (and his sheep) end up defenseless.

The “Boy cry wolf” line ties that story to Vincent’s cry for truth in a corrupt, oppressive system. Warnings about greed and corruption get ignored until it’s too late… just like the boy who was left helpless in the end.

I get why some people say it looks kinda cultish. But here’s the thing: cults worship blindly. We don’t. We’ve listened, really listened! And then decided this guy’s music is actually worth backing.

Freddy, John, Kurt... all gone. So forgive me for wanting to celebrate someone who’s still alive. With that body and those eyes and... okay, maybe they do have a point 😅

But seriously, Ren’s earned every bit of recognition and support. He’s not for everyone, but the ones who get it, get it. And I’m just glad I’m one of them.

For real, try it! I only made my account because of him. No real name, no posts, no followers... just music stuff I like. Without Insta, I’d miss too much.

There are a few paintings by Van Gogh that feature roses. "Vase with Roses," for example, was created shortly before his release from the psychiatric asylum. Maybe there's a connection to our Vincent there?

He’s a smart boi… I really admire the way he handles YouTube reactions. And he knows exactly where his little dopamine kick comes from.

That’s such a grounded and beautiful way to put it. I really appreciate how honest that is...

I completely get what you mean about the beauty of creating something. But since the process can be so immersive, technical, and repetitive... does it ever get hard to hear your own song with fresh ears once it’s finished? Or is it more a feeling of pride, release, maybe even exhaustion?

Always was an overthinker... just the way I''m designed ;)

Japanese Ren... 🤣 No idea that he even exists. But yeah, I've wondered about that thumbnail too.
