    I’m kind of just ambivalent toward her. I don’t think she deserves the hate that she gets. Her and John were clearly in love, so who the fuck am I to question that?

    Her role in the breakup of the Beatles is absolutely blown out of proportion as well. They were already falling apart by that point, and if it hadn’t been Yoko, it would have been someone/something else.

      I think its really interesting that an avant-garde artist who made pieces about provoking patriarchy is able to elicit intense misogyny decades later from people who are pretty unaware of anything about her other than media stories about John Lennon who was an abusive man.

        It’s just more of the typical hippie boomer bullshit lol. They didn’t sell out, they were always buying product.

      I judge a musician by the quality of their music. Everything yoko creates is bad, as far as I can tell.
