Can't speak for anyone else, but i'm not white. And Taylor has every right to do that.

Friendly reminder:
"I want to say to all the young women out there…there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame, but if you just focus on the work and you don’t let those people sidetrack you, someday when you get where you’re going you’ll look around and you will know it was you and the people who love you who put you there and that will be the greatest feeling in the world."

I'm pretty sure no one would have given a **** if it was Roman Polanski, Johnny Depp, Sean Penn, etc.

How can people say this and honestly believe it? Yeah they're only sleeping, but they're sleeping naked. When do people generally sleep naked next to each other? Right after they've had an orgy, let's not play dumb. The fact that Kanye was between Kim and Taylor suggests this. Also Chris next to Rihanna, etc... Taylor shouldn't sue him because that's exactly the kind of publicity Kanye wants, in my opinion she shouldn't say anything and be less uptight for a change.

I don't understand how this has anything to do with the visual, though  In fact, rather than undercutting her success here, he's saying that she's famous enough to be in his video.

How is this not sexist or degrading against Taylor. He wrote a lyric saying they could have sex because he made her famous. Men taking credit for a woman's career (who was already really successful before that incident) and saying she owes her sex. She calls him out on it, rightfully so, and he uses a naked look alike doll to embarrass her.
Ya'll will twist your booty every which way to defend this.
And I'm sure Bill Cosby has more pressing issues to deal with, like say... hmmm... his rape of dozens of women perhaps? Which Kanye also makes light of by using a rapist in his video and a woman beater.

The video SLAYED, I swear yall will get offended by ANYTHING. **** off
However, I think the last shot only would've been enough, will a slower zoom out to fit the length of the song. And when did he get so buff?

ok IDK about those other two but are you serious about roman polanski? people actually dislike him because of his what seems to be a rape fetish I'm sure it would generate some controversy if it were roman instead of bill. and he's also been charged for sexual abuse

This is such a tragic disappointment. He could have done so much more with this same concepts. He also cut out the best part of the song.

“It’s not in support or anti any of [the people in the video],” West said. “It’s a comment on fame.”

It's not like any of us is in the video naked and to make a paragraph to pull all of this "social consciousness" from a hat only because your fave is involved is stupid especially when some of these members go overboard on SYG and/or have oppressive views. |
People usually have "faves" because that artist represents something significant to them and it's perfectly normal to have emotional reactions to that person potentially being disparaged and - in the case of Taylor - continuously harassed. It's further perfectly reasonably for someone to allege that Kanye's video commits some sort of social indecency of objectification or something else; whether they are correct in that allegation can be debated but the discussion is legitimate. Yo don't necessarily have to be the person in the video to take some sort of issue with it.
