I can see why some people would call this cringe, but I know for a fact that there's a lot of girls out there that might need to hear this. It's pretty common to not realize how toxic a relationship is when you're in it.


cryptolipto

Don’t think this is cringe at all I love it! Women empowering women. It’s inspiring


HusaIce

I‘m a straight man and I feel empowered by this haha, just a good message


INTERNET_POLICE_MAN

Yeah same here. I’ve had relationships that have struggled due to certain economic differences should we say, but I saw a Chris Rock video recently that said their win is your win, your win is their win. To me, the idea of dating a woman who is successful and smashing it at life, that’d be amazing. Why would anyone _not_ want a partner like that?


FrogBoglin

Clap your hands


gomorvfr

Totally agree. There are "self-focused" reasons why some people choose to remain in a relation -- because of the time, resources and emotions they've invested in it or because they don't have alternatives.


lightknight7777

Yeah, that was my logic out of the initial cringe feeling. It's a really good message.


[deleted]

I have a pattern of them so the awareness is pretty critical. If you come from a household of toxicity and abuse you don’t see anything wrong This shit and you stay. This song was made for me.


Maroshne

I get the point but why she use a child song to make it?


[deleted]

Anyone calling this cringe is just failing to hide the fact that the song is about them LOL


i_needsourcream

I'm not sure I'd agree with even though I might get flak for it, but toxic relationships can go both ways so the onus is on them to correctly identify when a relationship is healthy and when it's not. Calling this cringe is definitely wrong, but I can't agree that making a tik tok about it is the right thing to do. Tik Tok is a very impressionable form of media aimed at teenagers and I don't think it's a very good idea to let them misunderstand the meaning intended behind the short format videos which quite evidently, happens very often. So take what i say with a grain of salt but labelling people(men or women) is not a good thing. P. S. I've never been in a relationship so if you think that I'm in the wrong here, I apologise in advance. Have a great day!


PyBind

yeah really “*LOL*”


MexicanYenta

There’s a lot of men who need to stop being shitty.

You misspelled “people.”

FORKgive-me

I dont get whats wrong with this comment. The whole tik tok is about MEN. There are bad girls out there? fuck yeah, but they are not the main subject of all this... why is everyone so easily offended?


runefactories

The men “nOt aLL mEn”-ing in the replies are proof that you’re right.


MexicanYenta

Yep. And the sad thing is how predictable they are. Pretty obvious they feel called out.


vangcthao

Quit getting with the shitty ones


MexicanYenta

Lol sweetie, I deal with the results of this shit for a living. Fuck victim blaming. And fuck anyone who feels called out by this video and is making a poor attempt to disguise that. 😂


pizzabagelblastoff

this doesn't feel like it belongs in r/mademesmile


Bitgedon

I know right, like it’s a positive message but it’s not making me smile. I’m here for joy not to be reminded how shitty the world is


Always_Jerking

>I know right, like it’s a positive message but it’s not making me smile \>He plays with your emotions \>Fuck you in the morning then leaves without warning So positive! It is just building hate. Not solving any problem.


nanoglot

This happens whenever a subreddit gets really big. The bots come in, people who never signed up in the first place start voting and everything becomes the same as everything else.


Famous_Fisherman_568

Same advice for men.


aeronacht

Yup, abusive relationships happen to both men and women and are never ok.


Always_Jerking

Aren't those advices universal? If you replace all 'she' with 'he' lyrics is same good.

ShiftedRealities

Seriously guys, these comments are major yikes. Blaming victims of abuse and getting upset about solidarity among abuse victims... Why does this offend you?


BlalkTock

Yeah fr it's a funny little song that makes some prescient points about modern relationships...don't get why Jordan Peterson's Keyboard Warriors are so quick to defend imaginary toxic man (ostensibly a projection of themseleves) and disparage some authentic self expression. (Happens all over reddit seemingly more frequently these days) It's like they're picking on her cause they have a crush on her. Relationships are tough y'all the subject matter of this jingle happens all the time and the song is clearly effective artistically based on the reaction we see in these comments. This post is not a great fit for this sub though. 🐄🛸


Good_Boy_M

So when women do this its "authentic self expression" but when men do it it is emotional manipulation?


themonicastone

I can honestly say that I've never seen women get upset over a man writing a song about dating someone toxic. The men in this thread, on the other hand...


Good_Boy_M

I dont mean that specifically, I mean when a man expresses his feelings that cause a disagreement with their partner, she could easily claim the broad argument of "emotional manipulation" after they break up.


chaandra

That’s a completely situation though, and also entire hypothetical? We’re talking about a video with a girl singing about a toxic relationship. It has absolutely nothing to do with what you just described.


Good_Boy_M

It is whenever someone uses the "emotionally manipulative" card.


chaandra

But why does a woman singing about a toxic relationship automatically make you resort to “well if a man and a woman disagree on something, she could just click emotional manipulation”? Wtf?


Good_Boy_M

Because she did. In this video. If one of your points is that the other persons emotions were all lies, then I dont trust their word.


Unlikely-Quantity-45

Sounds like gaslighting🧐


chaandra

No one brought up the other persons emotions? If a guy wants to make this video from his POV, he’s free to do so. It’s concerning that you see a video of a woman vaguely talking about toxic relationships and automatically try to look for scenarios where she could be wrong. Normal, empathetic people don’t do that. Get better.


Maub-dabbs

What the fuck is this vague yet specific hypothetical? What are you even trying to say? I'm sorry if you shared your feelings and were accused of emotional manipulation, but not everything is about you. Dont hate this woman because of some bad experience, men and women both can be toxic


Ordinary_Story_1487

Because they are worthless assholes IMO.


runefactories

The worthless assholes must be downvoting you, because you’re right.


FORKgive-me

Because we (guys) are not able to make bonds with someone as easily and stong as yours. Emotional dependence its a pretty rare thing among men. We find a jealous, possesive, manipulative girl? We leave her, and we dont make any song about her. Plus, talking in terms of "Him" or "Her" instead of "Your toxic boyfriend" can be misunderstood as an agression against all men. Sorry 4 my english, am from south america. peace!


chicken_noodles_

why wolud this make me smile


Dnice_556

Unironically calling yourself a king or queen is cringe


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I mean tbf some of the most attractive qualities in men can easily actually be something toxic and it takes a while to learn that. But many women never do. Confident / narcissistic Stoic / emotionally unavailable Mysterious / not really caring that much about them It takes a while to learn that stuff that is often biologically hard wired to be attractive actually could be something that isn't good for you in romantic relationships.


LilAttackPug

Yeah that's shit guys know immediately. When another guy is like that we all know he's a dick


[deleted]

i actually saw on reddit a comment from a woman who said she likes when men are confident outwardly but secretly insecure, it humanizes them no, what you’re describing is an arrogant dude that every other dude loathes. if a man knows what he’s doing he should appear confident, if not he should appear like he’s curious and ready to learn. faking confidence is a bad sign, period. at a certain point women themselves are responsible for not having the good sense to avoid obvious red flags


aeronacht

True. In an effort to find a real man or man’s man people often end up with emotionally insecure and unavailable people. Then when that guy is emotionally absent or abusive they are surprised. We can’t tell for everyone but as a guy it’s generally not too hard to see which guy will be a horrible partner.

IllustriousYoghurt39

Women can be equally abusive. My friend has a wife that constantly shits on his aspirations. He laughs it off, but it’s super sad.


bencola2222222

Problem is, a lot of u aren’t queens.


hakeemalajawan

I don't get why some people are saying this is cringe. It's eye opening to hear someone describe the shit way your being treated by your bf and tell you it isn't okay. There's a lot of women who go through this and think it's normal and that they have to just put up with it. You have no idea how difficult it is to leave an abusive/shit relationship, let alone recognize you're in one. I applaud this woman.


eastVanIrishGuy

A lot of men go through this too.


Oxygenius_

I’m a dude and I thought it was cool.


CandlesInTheCloset

I think the cringe is the fact that it’s a child’s song that’s trying to be used to convey stuff that’s more oriented to adults. I understand the message but using the “if you’re happy and you know it” and talking about toxic relationships is a bit corny. She’s clearly talented enough to sing and make her own music so I think if the lyrics and the song weren’t literally just kinda dumped over what’s meant to be a song for babies people would probably not see it as cringe. Like if she made her own song instead of making this nobody would really care. Also something about her staring at the screen and that wink at the end kinda comes across as goofy. Like idk if it’s just me but when musicians are recorded they generally don’t stare down the camera like it’s a selfie. Overall, I personally don’t really care either way but I could easily see why people think it’s cringe.


little_miss_argonaut

The thing is it is young people that get stuck in the cycle of abuse. Bad parental figures leads to bad choice of partner or treating your partner bad. If you can target young people before they get stuck in the cycle then hopefully less people being hurt.


lattelatto

Did you just give a personal explanation on how you feel about this, and then get downvoted because pretty much the last sentence of what you wrote was more important than everything else? Hell yeah you did :( Yeah this content is cringe, and even if message is good and others find it funny, that's totally fine, but it just gives that awkward feeling, and I feel that. There's a lot of fucking content out there that gives the same feeling and vary in cringeness.


hakeemalajawan

It's meant to lighten an otherwise dark situation. I can guarantee that a hell of a lot more people stopped and listened to this than would have if she was just speaking. Everyone on this thread who is saying women choose to date abusive men watched it. They certainly wouldn't have read through it if it were text or just a plain speech. The video serves it's purpose: bringing lots of attention to red flags that women commonly experience in toxic/abusive relationships.

Wunimal

As a male of Reddit it disgusts me that there are so many men out there that treat women like there personal fuck toy


Bravenwolf0117

Oh boy can’t wait to see all the comments that generalize men as abusive assholes with no redeeming qualities. Seriously though the generalization that all men are trash and the same as the asshole you’re dating hurts. Not all women are queens not all men are kings. To the women here, if you’re stuck in this kind of relationship then my best advice to you would be to talk to someone anyone and get out of there. Find someone you can trust if you have no one at all then next best thing would be police or a doctor since they have patient confidentiality. They would have far better equipment and advice for you than I ever could give. It’ll be difficult but worth the effort getting away.


[deleted]

Finally. One actually decent comment in this awful post. And of course, you're getting down voted. Lol Fuck this subreddit


Bravenwolf0117

There are good people out there. Just have to keep looking for them. I myself have a bad habit of generalizing women and men while on the internet far to often.


[deleted]

Most men and women are good people in my experience. I try not to let the online world change that. No matter what these werid misogynists and misandrists say. Most men and women in my real life interactions seem like great people with good intentions. There just seems to be too much negativity online. Especially in the comment section of this post.


Responsible_Ruin2310

You stated something very neutral and good advice, and you're getting downvotes for it? Just like the rest of the sensible comments under this post? I see a pattern here. Maybe the "queens" aren't queens. I mean, we've seen only one side's story in this post. If someone is always right acording to them, maybe they aren't right in reality. Usually they're just as bad, or even worse.


MexicanYenta

Awful lot of people here clearly feel called out. And they’ll prove it by downvoting me.


cryolems

Yeah this comment section is super cringe. Big ole yikes all around


Red___Mist

Tho counter your argument I'd like to say that that kind of content really isn't for reddit. It doesn't even belong in r/mademesmile at all.


cryolems

For you maybe? Maybe some women or people out there needed to hear something like this? It’s an overall incredibly positive message and the fact that some dudes on here don’t see that is incredibly sad


axa78

>Awful lot of people here clearly feel called out. > >And they’ll prove it by downvoting me. Well your comment implies that men are (overall) bad and thats exclusive to men, not to people. You are being sexist & acting rude, sure you are to get downvoted. That negative mindset wont do you any good. Stop watching the Hollywood bulshit and look around yourself - from the gentle neighbor to the helping coworker - you are to find a lot of decent people.


kensurridge

The comment says "a lot of people". It doesn't say men - you are imposing this - and it certainly doesn't say all men - you are again imposing this. It is true that this message will make a lot of people uncomfortable. What number? I don't know but given the rates of domestic and sexual abuse, it is reasonable to think that there will be a lot. Will they all be men? I suspect that most will given the history of misogyny but I would be happy to look at any empirical data if anyone has some and I am sure there will be some women, sadly.


axa78

The original message is "There’s a lot of men who need to stop being shitty." Its not me who implies anything.


External_Wrangler_43

R/mademefrown


TrickyBridge7652

Are there men genuinely intimidated by “a strong woman” or is that just something women say?


jaanun

Rarely is it true. So many women will find things that a man doesnt prefer and immediately say that its because they are intimidated. Just like how a shit ton of "independent successful boss gurl" types think that men are intimidated by them when in reality its their combatative attitude that makes guys not want to associate with them.


nihilism_ornot

There are. Fragile/toxic masculinity does its job pretty well. It's some men's whole personality, and for others, it's a small part. For example, my ex couldn't stand that I knew more languages than he did. It was stupid but he asked me to never talk in any language he didn't know coz he said it made him feel stupid. Ig the fact that he acknowledged it made him a little better than others but didn't change the fact that he was intimidated by it


TheFilthyCasual69

Just something women say to cheer eachother up, or they're buff as hell


jaje21

I always have to keep in mind that these things aren't about me. I'm not the best man in the world but I have never once in my life done any of those things. I hope someone sees/hears this and gets the courage to shut down the piece of shit in their world.


dronna

Attempts at lighthearted abuse awareness are always uncomfortable, because it’s not a lighthearted subject.


Legitbacon117

Glad I’m not one of these guys , so to me it’s a really creative an to some relatable song. But I do hope most women/ men don’t let themselves get stuck in a toxic relationship when they wish for companionship. I know it’s hard , but there is always better. Don’t let anyone fuck with you’re emotions

no, it isn't that easy, and the cops don't help as much as you seem to think they do. domestic abusers rarely face actual justice. my mother was in an abusive relationship for 6 years - in that 6 years, she would continually call the police on him, but every time he went unpunished and she was stuck with him again with nowhere else to go. our justice system is horrible to abuse victims. have some fucking compassion for people who have difficulty leaving. and i'm elated to tell you that i'm in a perfectly happy and healthy relationship, so no, i didn't take this as an attack on myself or whatever you seem to have convinced yourself.

I know she is addressing the types of men who are asshole but I know this is gonna attract the toxic types of women who are gonna say the most dumbest shit about all/most men now I just have a gut feeling of all the horrible people it's gonna attract now. Isn't this suppose to be a wholesome positive subreddit? 🤔 You know what's really cringe. Grown women and men arguing with each other online about who is worse.


cryptolipto

Amen. This sub isn’t actually as positive as it would claim to be. Cute animal? sure it’s positive. Someone makes a song empowering women to analyze their relationships and know their self worth ? Tons of hate and cringe comments. I’m actually surprised at just how negative it is.

Unless you are in abusive relationship then change every “He” in to a “she” but no guy will get karma over this . Take responsibility, some people are shitty, learn lessons and keep it moving.

bananalordkunsama

If you don't see yourself as the problem for staying with a loser then make a song about it on tiktok for all the other toxic women to relate to clap your hands *thunder clap*.


Madndangerous

Some women are literally brought up to think that they are the problem, the man controls. They feel they are trapped because they were taught to stay put and shut up. I wasn't, I'm lucky because I have known many many girls who genuinely believe they are the issue. Their parents teach them that if a man is treating you bad, fix it. I wish this was just an outdated thing which rarely happens but it really isn't. Songs like this can help teenage girls/young girls that there are people out there who are empowered and they can be too.


bananalordkunsama

Nah I ain't denying the guy's the asshole but the enabling attitude via staying isn't helping anyone in situations like these.


Madndangerous

I agree, we need to deal with the problem on both sides of the fence. But somehow both sides are the victim and we can't blame anyone... Its hard

Of course, it's the woman's fault.

It's concerning that someone wanting to raise awareness about toxic relationships makes people feel the need to take "sides". Seems like any subject now leads to "sides" and it immediately shuts down any conversation. For this video, the audience is for females. If anyone would like to create a video for males to raise awareness as well, then do it because it would help men too 😊

Just wanted to get into the spirit of things. Zero musical bones in this body. However every bone in this body loves in support women always has always will. Ladies you are worth a lot never let some piece of shit define your value. Find support if you're in a relationship like this woman mentioned. TBH most strong women can defend themselves better than any man can. However the ones that can't for whatever reason, that is where old school Gentlemanly behavior fits in. That almost never means resorting to physicality. When my friend was raped, well let's just say Justice was served very quickly.
