I have noticed a disturbing trend on /mu/ of people defending

There's nothing wrong with beating women

It's not a very good song and yes John Lennon did beat women but tge lyrics themselves alwas came off as ironic or as a character.

who gives a fuck the beatles are shit anyway
shame that that guy didnt shoot lennon sooner

Lots of people on /mu/ are reactionary arseholes that think being or defending misogynists is a position to attack alleged SJW's of which there are about 2

>>72661790
Who gives a fuck if they were ironic though, he wrote it during the period in which he was the most abusive. You can't just be abusive and write a song about abuse and say "haha I was just memeing, I was just pretending to be abusive to a fictional girlfriend that totally isn't my current wife"

>>72661845
>defending women

>>72661858
>You can't just [...] write a song

Yes you fucking can. Don't be on the wrong side of history with your puritanism

>>72661858
Thats not the point. The poit is is that the song isn't trying to normalize or say that this action is acceptable. JL may have been a piece of shit at the time but the song is obviously meant to antagonize the singer. But i guess a wimp like you can only listen to stuff tgey 100% agree with on the message. I bet you hate SWANS soully because Gira is le rapist

I'm not him but he's right

If Charles Manson had written a song about murdering celebrities in the hollywood hills, you can't seriously think he's just being ironic

When he finally succeeded in life, he could write "woman is the nigger of the world."

You can disagree with something and still listen to it you know. Since when has anyone on this thread said they wouldn't listen to it because they don't like the message? You were the first person to bring that up

reminder that john only hit cynthia once. yoko claims he never physically hit her. 'wife beater' is hyperbole.

I still listen to the song when I listen to the whole album, it's just probably my least favorite track

Also I made this thread because I don't think the song's ironic. The whole tone of it is mean and unpleasant but it doesn't sound imaginary.

I'm not out here telling people they can't listen to Maxwell's Silver Hammer because it might imply that McCartney secretly wanted to murder people

>>72661950
I'm a white guy

>>72661953
At least he established from the start the positive message he wanted to send with that song, and also if you listen to the song it does not disparage women or black people

>>72662031
This desu
What's worse is that he actually on several occasions beat the shit out of blokes (Bob Wooler, Stuart Sutcliffe, random Germans) sometimes so much that they ended up in hospital from it, and this is never brought up

Anyone else cry a little bit when they think of Lou? N-no homo

>>72661755
I've never heard anyone deny what John did was wrong or supported it. Everyone knows that he was an asshole, but his and The Beatles impact on popular music and culture can't be denied. I've always seen it as something everyone knows about but doesn't really talk about.

BTW JOHN LENNON USED TO BEAT HIS WIFE

ALSO LED ZEPPELIN STOLE ALL THEIR RIFFS

>but I think anyone who says this just wants to defend Lennon for being abusive.
Nah, I don't like or want to defend Lennon, but I still think that fact somewhat improves the song.
