OH WAIT, SO NOW IT'S AN ISSUE. When has a man ever consented to be shown topless? You think it makes Look Chris Brown look worst being topless? Ray J? The answer is NO. Therefore, it shouldn't be like that for women either. Kanye is normalizing society's nude standards and it's working. You should be unphased by topless Taylor Swift. She wasn't shown in any negative way. She wasn't having sex with Kanye or anyone else.
Kanye showed just as much of himself as he did Taylor, so
It's not a big deal that they're naked & Kanye is pushing societal norms by depicting that. Legend

I can't even DEAL with how insouciant you are. It's not a big deal for men because society doesn't care about shirtless men.
We all know this. But. This. Isn't. About. The. Nudity. It's. About. The.
CONSENT. And. Message.
WHY does Kanye have the RIGHT to "normalize" Taylor's naked body without her permission? While equality with nudity should exist, you still have a CHOICE in if you want to be sexualised or nude. Kanye isn't normalizing anything. You think he's the first person to show t*ts in a video? Rihanna videos get flagged for just her nipples showing through her top. You're speaking as if men and women are on an equal playing field, which they're not and this isn't helping the cause. What is phasing people is his blatant flippant use of Taylor being naked.
To give you an example: in reality, if you wanted to prove that it's okay for women to be naked, would you run up to the first woman you find and rip her top off? Would that be okay? Because you're normalizing nudity for women, right? Forget what the woman thinks, you're doing her a favour?

Showing her how "unphased" you are? You don't have the right. That woman has a choice in if she wants to show her body. Just like Taylor does. Kanye took that choice away. He purposefully put a naked and unconscious Taylor next to him, to prove some deranged power-trip he feels he has over her. After all he "made that bitch famous". Right? So he can do as he pleases?
Don't get me started on Cosby being in bed with a bunch of unconscious women.
