there are other at least moderate name filkers pushing back--saying "I've survived sexual assault; when you normalize rape you are hurting me, not some faceless other" and "comparing songs celebrating rape to songs about vegetables is insulting, whether you meant it to be or not."

Which made me absolutely cheer in delighted agreement. :) I'm glad you brought this up -- in trying to talk about what upset me I may have made it sound like All There Is and it really isn't.

At any rate, right now I'm expressing my creativity in drawing, and I plan to soon draw an illustration of the song about how Jenny's sibling saved her from the Barrow-wight who wanted to marry her. :D
