cw: christmas song with dubious sexual consent 

"Baby It's Cold Outside" is of course a controversial song given that it's either lost its original context about making flimsy excuses for polite society about sleeping over at someone's place, or that it's just icky as hell with overtones of manufacturing pseudoconsent via pharmaceutical aids and continuously ignoring boundaries.

Regardless of your interpretation on that issue (I know what side I'm on), I think we can all pretty much agree that it's also *just a bad song in general*.

@Soreth so many songs seem to be like this and it just... reminds me of how naive i once was to not see it.

@Soreth It really should stop, ias you say it's not great to start with, but it really doesn't make sense anymore.
