Martha Serrano :
Art is, at its core, simply witnessing a human being's journey and evolution. Behind every track, every verse, and every melody, there's a real person living through experiences, lessons, heartbreaks, and healing. Expecting an artist to stay stuck in their misery just to satisfy someone's aesthetic tastes is proper selfish and completely out of touch with reality.
It's proper shocking to see how some fandoms cross the line of basic empathy, demanding someone goes back to draining, toxic dynamics or relives the pain from past albums. Anyone who actually listened to those records knows how bloody hard it was for her to walk away from that, carrying the weight of a one-sided relationship where she was giving her all and getting nothing back. Making videos or comments romanticising that torment and begging her to go back to that dark place—just for the internet gossip or nostalgia—misses the whole point of music and basic human respect.
People aren't at our beck and call, nor are they fictional characters shaped to churn out the exact content we want whenever we fancy it. Demanding a specific kind of pain or happiness from someone you don't even know slips right into toxic territory, completely forgetting that behind the artist, there's a human being who deserves peace, growth, and the right to write from a place of genuine happiness.
