My girlfriend (22f) and I (24m) are having a disagreement about a picture.
I met my girlfriend, Sam, 8 months ago at a house party and we've been pretty much inseparable since then. She's witty, intelligent, funny and gorgeous and we are almost the perfect couple.
The only issue I've been having recently is a framed picture she keeps over her bed. It's of an older gentleman lying in bed with a scowl on his face (pic related). She lives with roommates and I live alone so we spend most of our time together at my place and I've only been in her room a couple times so I've never really brought it up.
For a while I just figured it was a relative of some sort (Sam is African American but this is a picture of a white guy) until recently I met her extended family at a birthday party for her cousin. On the way back I asked who the picture in her bedroom is of, since it's not anyone I met at the party. She started laughing at me and explained that the picture is of some apparently famous philosopher guy named Slavoj Zijek (I don't know if that's spelled right) and she doesn't know him. WTF. We started arguing about it, I said it was weird to keep pictures of random people in your bedroom and she said it was somehow 'pomo', I don't know what that means, her major is philosophy and mine is computer science.
TL;DR: girlfriend keeps picture of a philosopher on her bedroom wall. I'm weirded out and kind of jealous that this guy is apparently so important to her that she has a random picture of him above her bed. Am I overreacting though?
U are overreacting I have a bust of Plato in my living room

>am i overreacting
yes
You're overreacting m8. My roommate's got a poster of shirtless Bruce Lee, but it doesn't mean he's gay for him. It's just a quirky poster

LOL THIS GUY IS GREAT
>>17868765
Fuck off pussy let her have the pic she just admires him
I wonder if Zizek's wife gets jealous over the picture of Stalin that is apparently hanging over his bed.
>>17868765
If she's hanging a picture of a person in her room that she only knows the name and profession of but nothing beyond that, then she doesn't sound very intelligent.
>>17868857
I was thinking the same.
>dating a marxist
I want lit pseudointellectuals to leave
>>17868765
Zizek is idolized by a lot of people, that picture goes in the same category as a Naruto poster.
Would it bother you if she had a Naruto poster?
This shit has to be bait from /lit/
>>17868765
Today OP is a faggot

yes, you're overreacting. if that's the only problem you have in your relationship, you're doing pretty good.
Are you a white guy?
>>17868765
>Am I overreacting though?
Yes, you are absolutely without a doubt overreacting
>>17868765
I would have said that you were overreacting, but the fact she, herself, described it as 'porno' is a bit of a warning signal.
Also:
>Slavoj Žižek
Get a better girlfriend. Žižek is an edgy Marxist faggot. If she had John Locke , Friedrich Hayek or Milton Friedman on her wall, she'd be worth dating.

you are overreacting big time. it's a funny picture and it's related to what she's interested in
