Great song and amazing visuals. Probably one of the best videos of 2015. But not gonna lie, I'm shocked at the overwhelming positive response from the GP...
It's not even about the nudity or the drugs (Trust me, I'm all for it, since she's not anybody's parent and blah blah blah). It's about how desensitized is our generation when it comes to violence.
Rihanna - a former victim of domestic violence - just showed a woman being stripped, drugged, gagged, abused and hung from the ceiling and it's getting praised for it. And miss me with the 'bu-but-t she's still a feminism! fierce! empowering!1' ******** . This is wrong and y'all know it damn well.
If glamorizing physical abuse against other women it's what it takes to be a 'bad bitch ;]' and get a Top 10 on Itunes these days, then how the mighty have fallen . But then again, none of her attention-seeking peers would stop this low (not even GaGa, Miley or Nicki. Ok...maybe Nicki).
Tasteless. But she always gets away with it. ATRL is too busy pretending to be offended by videos like "All About That Bass" and "Blurred Lines" to realize how problematic Rihanna truly is .
