A post on X invited people to share their opinions on marriage, and as expected, the responses reflected deep cynicism shaped by personal experiences, social pressure, and observed failures around them. While some users spoke about companionship and growth, others framed marriage in far darker terms.
One striking comment read: “It’s just slavery and vibes.” The statement is controversial because it reduces marriage to a mix of control, obligation, and superficial enjoyment, implying a loss of freedom masked by moments of pleasure. While the comment likely stems from seeing unhealthy or exploitative marriages, it paints all unions with the same brush. Marriage can indeed become oppressive when power is unequal or expectations are forced, but describing it solely as “slavery” ignores relationships built on consent, partnership, and mutual respect.
