Cobalt Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Of course nobody notices Sinead said some pretty nasty stuff in her open letter as well. Slut shaming and whorephobia hooray! Concern trolling at it's finest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumbersGirl Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Concern trolling oooohh I like that term And I'm sure she didn't mind the free publicity, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayden Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Sinead O'Connor is my 2nd cousin. True story. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobalt Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I get that she *tried* to make some sort of commentary on the state of the pop industry while making fun of Robin Thicke and Miley Cyrus with the song... and I do kinda like it At the same time she has managed to do the exact same fucking thing Miley did with this video - reducing women of color to the background, to be scantily-clad while she dances at the forefront dressed more modestly... she basically shits on them with "Don't need to shake my ass for you, cause I've got a brain" and meanwhile they twerk furiously throughout the clip. Using them as a prop to objectify and this time also mock. Goddamnit. Also note the implication that you can't be smart and express your sexuality for someone else without being 'dumb' or something.

Cobalt Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Satire. Intent is irrelevant though, you don't need to participate in the shitting-on to make a point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 You have a good point, but intent (and context) are certainly relevant. The fact that she/they end up scantily clad and shaking their asses was surely foreshadowed by that intentionally ironic lyric to illustrate the manipulation of the industry. Surely she doesn't actually mean to say that all the dancers in the video are brainless. #couldbewrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
