Pet Peeve #34 (I really can't keep track of the shit that offends me)
Ever since I learned about the controversies surrounding Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines video, I decided to check exactly what the fuss was all about. And so, I clicked on the video and began my descent into a horrified viewer at the amount of misogyny packed into one video, one song.
But rather that bring up the same old complaints, the same accusations against Robin Thicke and what a poor example of a human being, father, and husband he is, I am more peeved at the complacency of people taking this video as no more than a summer feel-good song.
Like really, What The Flying Fuck.
Yes, these people may not exactly support the things said on the video or the images portrayed, the fact that they are willingly listening to it without thinking that it's wrong is what terrifies me.
Then, of course, they try to defend the video and Robin Thicke with the same old line, "If you don't like it, don't watch it."

Most of the time, when someone comments about all the things wrong with the video, this is the following reply that comes up. Like it's fucking inevitable.
The thing is, the people who defend Robin Thicke unknowingly defend whatever is portrayed and said on the video. It doesn't matter whether or not that person naught a care for everything in it, it's the principle of not differentiating from what it right and what is wrong and standing by to defend the song with a flimsy excuse.
What sort of message doest that relay to people? It doesn't matter if it's the unrated or the rated one, both still sends the same underlying message as the rape song of the year. It doesn't matter if it's more prevalent in rap music that we should stop righting the wrongs of the song.
God, I honestly can't even with people anymore and how blind they are.
