One could write an entire PhD thesis on how oddly old-fashioned, patriarchal and overall conservative the media coverage of that relationship is. He’s a big strong man who’ll protect her, she’s a tiny, dainty girl who needs to be protected. They’re looking forward to being married and starting a family after a year of dating. It’s just… weird.

Yeah it’s gross. She’s not some fragile little fawn in the woods that needs protecting. She’s doing just fine in a career/field that is brutal, cutthroat, and unforgiving.

Shit, she IS the brutal, unforgiving one in some instances. When you have people SCARED to say anything bad about you because of the fandom you've crafted or speak on your songs (Olivia) that's not fragile at ALL.

This even spills out to ONTD because I remember people on here kept saying she’s going to get pregnant and have his baby with zero basis and when she has never expressed any desire to do that and was about to embark on a two year long world tour. It just baffled me so much at the time.

lol i think the only time she’s even mentioned having a kid is that line “i have a dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money” which is
A) the first half of a joke and
B) really not an indication that she just! cant! wait! to start popping out babies!

[milkradio]

There are other mentions of her saying "give you a child" and talking about "cradles."

[epicdonald]

Yeah I was just about to say that “protector” paragraph is a yikes, especially after Trump campaigned on “protecting women”

These stories really feel like pandering to conservatives

this man eater boss babe finally found her impossibly manly alpha 😍 his fists are the size of hams, she’s gonna get knocked up in a week and retire from music 🥰

She’s 100% leaned into the frail white woman image before lol, but let’s not act like this scheming billionaire has any trad wife inclinations

[yankeesarelove]

tiktok talks like this about them and its SO creepy and projecting. like they have zero idea how he actually treats her in real life but they see one video of him walking in front of her from a restaurant to a car and its like "omg what a protector!!!"

[tonicol]

I mean yeah but also hasn’t she been playing with this the whole time? Her music and image revolves around her love life, people are just waiting for her to finally “find the one”

[frenchmoodle]

she pays plenty of security guards who can protect both of them!

[sorryeden]

Her stans talk like this and I think she leans into it herself

[siaht]

As if this weren't exactly how she wants their relationship to be seen?

[genbu_no_miko24]

Not when she plays into it.

[koushiba]

Thinking about the tiktok where a woman went “he BIG MAN and she smol girl. She gets to be smollll girl” or whatever 🥴

[milkradio]

I hate that shit.
