____shawnee 4,118 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 And why? I'd love to know! And I'm asking mostly about the video, not necessarily the lyrical content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyoyeon's lines in check 6,413 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Objectifying but if you ask a black woman on tumblr you'll probably get a different answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noon 20,968 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 people try to place too much power in this video she's literally shaking her ass and pandering to the male gaze that her fans claims she is rejecting. though there is NOTHING WRONG WITH WITH PANDERING TO THE MALE GAZE (ever notice that whenever people shame the male gaze, they forget tat bisexaul and lesbian women exist :0) AS IT IS HER CHOICE TO DO SO but people need to stop acting as if she's doing something revolutionary. it's a fun, raunchy video, directed by a woman BY HER OWN STANDARDS WHICH SHOULD BE FEMINIST ENOUGH ON IT'S OWN but no fans and fuckers want to attach "fuck the patriarchY" messages to it when there are none.

sane 16,342 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Both. And it's not like objectification is a bad thing. We're a sexual species, that's how sexual stuff works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsmithlikespudding 441 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Does it have to be either? Some make music to make a statement, some just want to make the mighty buck. To each his or her own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgl 5,919 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 It's bad. Really bad. I don't see how it's empowering to say you need to have a big ass to get a man with a big dick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariana Grande 800 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I'd have to say both. When you first watch it and see the overwhelming amount of booty shaking, you'd really really think its just trashy and its just like soft porn material but then asides from the lyrics, there's a particular segment dedicated to the non-skinny girls. On the other hand though I don't quite appreciate how shallow the chorus of the song is that you need big buns. For me, I don't find it worthy of winning any serious award but its a fun MV.
