« TRIGGER WARNING: Domestic violence, abuse »
I've always seen video editing a way for us to convey messages, most of the time I'm pretty consistently trying to shine a positive light on stuff (fandoms, couples, the characters or stuff like editing, the aesthetic yada yada), but this one's more about getting something out of my chest, and definitely not shine a positive light on anything that's going on in here.
This is (I hope you'll realize while watching) a video about abusive relationships. Granted, not everything here is even a relationship, but for the sake of getting my point across I compiled some moments from pairings that are/were put together romantically which go all the way from dysfunctional to textbook domestic abuse. I hoped to cover some key elements that are often overlooked (or even romanticised) on fictional pairings such as: power imbalance, emotional manipulation (guilt-tripping/gaslighting), unhealthy co-dependence and verbal/physical/sexual violence.
I realize that there are many popular pairings in here, and while I don't apologize for my choices I do apologize if anyone takes offense. It is not my place nor my intention to point a finger at people for enjoying the stuff they do (except if it involves physical/sexual violence, then I will absolutely frown at you), but then again this is a projection of my own perspective, and having experienced up close what domestic abuse looks like I guess it became kind of a personal thing to me.
And okay, this is also a dig against the popular trope of 'good girls can save problematic guys' that is so old but still reigns supreme as the most popular recipe for a successful heterosexual pairing. Considering that so many shows, movies and books target young girls it's really harmful to romanticise certain types of behaviours as it feeds into really twisted and unhealthy ideals of what love should be like.
That brings me to the reason why I chose this song! Not only because its openly about abuse and is often romanticised regardless, but because I really like what the lyrics did with 'the warning signs can feel like they're butterflies', it's true. Overall it covers a lot of what it's like to bee stuck in an abusive cycle, going deeper and deeper until the other person get's you to rock bottom.
Anyway! I hope you guys can enjoy this, I'm not particularly fond of the result editing wise, this is a months old project that I'd almost given up on, had to cut the song in the middle of editing because my muse was so dead...but I'm glad to finally be posting. As always, considering this might come as controversial, I'm up for discussions so long as they're polite.
Sending you all many wishes for good health, and I hope you're staying safe! If you know someone who's in an abusive relationship, please stand by them, don't use self-righteousness or anger to alienate people that could be desperately needing your help. If you are in an abusive relationship, please stay strong, confide on a trusted person, you can and will get out of it.
Report domestic abuse, look up the numbers/websites from your region!
Thanks for watching and see you next time.
