Unpopular Opinion

I'm not going to comment on the subjective nature of her shallow art, but the way she treated Julian Lennon was unforgivable.

She began cutting him out when John was still alive, and then fully cut him out of the estate when John died. He wanted some of his father's letters, but she forced him to buy them at auction. He eventually had to sue her, and eventually got a generous settlement, but he never should have had to go through all that.

You can blame John for not doing enough for his son, but we all know that Yoko was whispering poison in his ear like Wormtongue.

Nah, I'm not going to be one of her apologists. Yoko sucks.

She is a complete POS. Just look at how she treated her step son.

Subjectiveness of art aside she's just a garbage person. Troll or not, whatever.

I would love to get behind the idea she was some kind of genius Andy Kaufman type, but she was just a narcissist who couldn’t stand not being the center of attention.

Yoko Ono is a terrible fucking human being

Her "art" is absolute trash, in the worst sense. As in, she says it is art, but it is objectively garbage.

She treated people around her like shit.

Just read about how she handled the letters between John Lennon and his son.

Fuck that bitch. She rode the coat tails of someone who was an actual artist and the only discussion her "art" has created was whether or not it could be called art.

Seriously, she is trash.

I'm kind of just ambivalent toward her. I don't think she deserves the hate that she gets. Her and John were clearly in love, so who the fuck am I to question that?

Her role in the breakup of the Beatles is absolutely blown out of proportion as well. They were already falling apart by that point, and if it hadn't been Yoko, it would have been someone/something else.

This video by Lindsay Ellis couldn't be more relevant. (it's on Nebula too)

I don't know if she was a troll or a narcissist or whatever everyone else claims. But she did seem to be a little nuts, or at least tone deaf. You can see in that performance with John and Chuck Berry where she just starts sort of screeching in the background on mic for no reason she was at least a little unhinged.

You can call it avant garde, you can say she was annoying, etc. Etc. but she did seem to just shove herself into Johns limelight a lot. There are plenty of other spouses that are just happy to be with their partner, and go with them, but she clearly was intent on shoving herself into the spotlight with him, through whatever means she felt was accessible.

I learned recently that Yoko Ono was a huge inspiration for the B-52's. Apparently John Lennon once heard them playing (before they broke out in fame) and immediately recognized her style in their music.

I thought it was an interesting bit of trivia.

I make Yoko Ono-quality art every single day of my life.

I just usually flush it, and haven't bothered trying to show other people since I was about 6.

Just because something sucked, doesn’t mean it was a troll. Because while you may not know this-

She wasn’t trolling.

And that’s why people fucking hate her.

Same reason I love Jane Fonda

If you like some asshole entirely because other people find that asshole assholey, what does that make you?

I have no particular opinion on Yoko Ono, but the comments here are quite funny. 🍿

The moment Chuck Berry's tinnitus kicking in...
