I know this was just a shitpost⌠But itâs got a philosophical dimension. With the mothman, itâs very clear that he has lamp needs that arenât satisfied by his human partner. Here we are not offended by his lamp desires, weâre surprised that his human partner is shocked by his behaviour when itâs otherwise fairly intuitive and predictable.
Yet when we restore the original, we are unable to empathise with a human who may have important unmet needs. And we can rightfully say of his partner that they should expect him to be loyal. But these monogamous expectations are cultural and they clearly arenât flexible enough to encompass all of the wonderful tapestry of platonic, romantic, and intimate relationships and expressions. Therefore we continue to be beholden to cultural expectations that create unmet needs and expectations which may be incompatible with a sustainable relationship with many individuals.
