It wasn’t that long ago that the world almost ground to a halt because some people saw Janet Jackson’s breast.
Now we have this, and there will be zero consequences.
She didn't deserve the hate for an accident that wasn't even caused by her.
Either it was an accident and wasn’t at fault at all. Or it was a coordinated stunt and Justin owns 50% of it, if other production people weren’t also in on it.
But Janet got shit on because she’s a woman and black and Justin somehow walked away unscathed for decades. Fucked up.
It was a stunt. Janet did the classic porn reaction of seeing her own boob and looking at it incredulously while shaking her head and not trying to cover it at all.
The normal human reaction is covering the exposure at the speed of light.
Stunt or not. Only one person got hate for it.
Plus she had like a weird metal thing going around her nipple and breast that allowed for plausible deniability that her tit was out. Definitely a planned stunt
I've always found it weird that public indecency laws are often limited to the areola. What's up with that?
Correct.
It's also accurate to say the reaction was over the top. Networks generally have a delay for live events so they can censor stuff like this. It's not a big deal, just show a fuzzy box or whatever.
Also, I've seen a lot more offensive stuff on TV than a boob.
The US. "The world", at least the part that's not religious zealots, looked at that, went like "oh, surprise boob" and maybe giggled a bit.
Not even the US. Most people there didn't care at all. The religious right whipped itself into a frenzy, started a moral crusade and is now supporting a rapist, adulterer and sexuell harasser
Would be quite funny, if it were not so depressing.
You mean the US went pearl clutching whilst the rest of the world went "oh.. okay, and?"
I mean yes but also credited as the inspiration to start YouTube so also the same as it ever was?
