Look at cheating, then look at monoamory, then try to tell me this "guide" doesn't have some fucked up bias.
Based on this post alone, would someone think cheating or monoamory is worse?
There's nothing saying cheating is good in the this. And honestly yeah, cheating is kinda weird to be on this, but I think it's just a statement saying "this is a type of relationship, a type with one person cheating on the other." It's as neutral towards cheating as it is towards anything else.
If we want to nitpick, "open relationship" uses the word "affair" which has a lot of negative context, and so open relationships must be bad right? I don't see this as endorsing anything.
"Nothing saying cheating is good"
In the cheating section there are 3 smiling faces and 2 bright red hearts, one of which is wearing "cool" sunglasses.
The monoamory tile has a frowning face, a big red x, and a broken heart.
I'm sorry but the imagery is definitely there, despite your decision to disregard it.
me when media literacy is hard. :^(
seriously, the last thing - relationship anarchy, is very rarely (if ever) supported by incels/misogynists in general, because they want control over women. relationship anarchy is very much not about control. if we're to say that the imagery is indicating which is better, it probably would indicate relationship anarchy is best - given the whole everyone is smiling and look at all those hearts deal. not to mention, as the other commenter said - the shades indicate shadiness. there is a distinct air of it being bad in the long run to both scenarios in which secrets are actively being kept.
