Because if you've been talking about Miley's cultural appropriation like Korean Dream said or even discussing the racial aspect of Janet being a black woman during Nipplegate, then you would be "acting like an activist." So you basically just admitted that you find yourself annoying.

That backlash had less to do about her race and more to do with the fact janet flashed 70 million people.

Robin Thicke didn't act a fool. Miley's problem was that she didn't have much grace with any of her movements, so it came across as very try-hard. She never provided the talent to back up her antics, despite being a talented singer. Mix that with her questionable comment about a "song a black person would sing" and you have a recipe for disaster.
Rock artists get flack for trying to change their demographic and they're labeled as "selling out." It happens to everyone. It isn't sexism; just an example of the phrase "You can't please everyone."

Heck, you can even look at Robin Thicke's metacritic score. He was blasted by almost every reviewer for changing his sound.
