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 .
this is a goddamn video it's not here to glamorize anything, calm down are you also against tarantino and basically every single movie released since 1970 ? lol get lost w your political correctness
The video seems to be doing what it was intended to do and you all seem to be relatively oblivious to that. If you genuinely don't like it, ignore it. Having a (strong) negative opinion only fuels the discussion. We're already on page 27 for a music video of a song that isn't that special.
She clearly wants people talking. I don't like the scenes with the binge drinking and smoking weed. I think that glamourises binge drinking and illicit drug use amongst impressionable, young teens. And the younger you are when you first experiment with drugs and alcohol, the higher your chances are of having problems with it when you're older.
The "bad gal" persona is such a huge part of her artistry and who she is though. Still, it makes me glad that Taylor Swift exists in the market.

Basically what I'm trying to say is, people aren't going to go out and murder someone like Dexter Morgan just because they saw Rihanna do it in a music video.
They'll binge drink and smoke weed if they see a celebrity doing it and continuing to function normally though, and that can always progress to much harder drugs or problems with alcohol.
Because she's the complete antithesis of Rihanna. She's the ying to her yang. Rihanna's still my fave, and I love her, and this song would go off in clubs, but a lot of young teens would also be watching this at home, and they're really impressionable. I'm just saying it's good that someone like Taylor exists in the market as a good role model.

Rihanna or not teens will smoke and drink anyway tbh

I agree with you with the fact that if people see their idol doing something, they may think its cool.
