You know what pisses me off the most? Nobody has been discussing the awful representations of bears in her performance. Because those costumes and props were an absolute travesty.

Yeah, I didn't really care how raunchy or not she was. The performance was just bad and embarrassing. I spent a lot of time channel-surfing because it was so painful to watch.
Exactly. Thank you.
You cannot defend a woman's right to do what she wants and then suddenly demote her to the position of a defenceless young girl when she does stupid shit. Part of being a woman is being allowed to do idiotic things without someone thinking you've been forced into it.
What's obnoxious is celebrities using people of color as props.
I understand that we don't want to slut shame Miley. The thing is... are we not allowed to criticize this performance? I have seen a lot of slut shamey posts about it, but also a lot of comments on how ridiculous she looked — which is distinctly different than looking like a whore. She came out of that bear and my…
Yeah, I've seen a few comments say something like "Well Robin Thicke should take responsibility because he's a thirty-something y.o. married man grinding up on a 20 y.o. girl." Umm well 1. have you not seen his Blurred Lines video? He obviously doesn't care. 2. All of a sudden Miley is a girl? She's a woman, no?…
Honestly, the only thing I find inappropriate about what Miley has been doing is that she's appropriating black culture in order to prove that she's "sexual" and "edgy" now, which is extremely offensive for a host of reasons.
The whole thing just looked stupid, Miley's singing was awful, and her tongue just looks incredibly unappealing. I'm sorry. There is something weird about her tongue.
Oh come on. I'm no Thicke fan but to say that he was somehow in charge of that shitshow is just ridiculous. I think Miley is a powerful enough young woman to get what she wants, and to imply that she was just playing the "young near-naked woman" in a Thicke-controlled clusterfuck is just insulting to her.
She…
She annoys me so much. Just...whyyyy....
As a white person, I really have no business getting personally outraged by her behavior, but it strikes me that she appropriates without experiencing. It's less that she's co-opting aspects of a specific culture and more that she's freely taking without understanding what she's taking. It doesn't personally offend…
I say that because she seems like she thinks she's earned a black card and she can use it in casual conversation with black people.
I more have a problem with uppity, rich white girls trying to act "ghetto".
So what you're saying is that you're white.
Well, I don't take it as a compliment as a black person because she's only doing it for attention. If she was raised around black people, I could understand. Look at Eminem. No one accuses him of being a wannabe. But Miley is. A few years ago she didn't even know a single Jay-Z song. She couldn't care less about black…
I sincerely hope you're joking.
So when will this phase she's going through die already? How does a girl go from not knowing a single Jay-Z song to being on a rap song? I think the day she casually uses the n word is the day her phase will die. All of her black "friends" (I say friends loosely) will drop her and she'll receive non-stop harsh…
I just loved reading Kid Fury's tweets to her yesterday. "The Redneck nerve!"
is there a specific bitch she's calling out or is it the entire internet?
