Was Madonna doing multiple simulated golden showers?
Is this what artists do? Not my fortè but It's OTT imo.

As you said, Madonna was shocking people in the 80s - but this is nothing like Madonna and my comment has nothing to do with trans people (and is he really trans?) doing their own thing - and everything to do with the the state of him and his act. There was a production team behind this - and SS and his mate Graham Norton and others will promote dross like this as innovative. See also the bloke who 'played' the piano with his penis - he's getting a show on BBC.

That's one of those words that Tattle automatically autocorrects if you type it in a post

With spectacular timing, just as the Isla Bryson story starts to cool a bit, it's come out that another trans prisoner has just been approved for a transfer to Cornton Vale - this one considered one of the most dangerous prisoners in Scotland.

Possibly an unpopular opinion but the sexualisation of almost every aspect of our culture, including that disgusting Sam Smith video (how can anyone say objections to that are puritanical??) and songs like WAP, have opened the floodgates. It’s a huge part of the reason perverts feel emboldened to indulge their proclivities out in the open. The situation in which we find ourselves as a society didn’t happen in a vacuum.

I think I find Smith a bit pitiful because the stuff is not actually as wild/transgressive as Smith thinks? Because as you mention Madonna etc have done it all before. So too have loads of performance artists (Though personally I think that sort of performance art is bad).

It wouldn't surprise me if she had. I think some of the things in her 'Sex' book were probably worse to be honest. She also did the whole burning crosses thing to piss religious people off.

It's just classic attention seeking which popstars have done for ages.

The whole right wing "omg it's so shocking!" trope is so faux and overdone, as though the people who say such things are whiter than white. I'm willing to bet they're not.

We used to be free of that Fox News mentality, but it's worming its way in over here as well.

Yeah exactly. I don't like him much and I'm not gonna pander to the 'they/them' thing, but acting like he's some dangerous monster is hilarious.

By the way, like my last couple of comments, I'm talking generally, it's not aimed at you or anyone here in particular.

I think there’s a whole separate discussion and debate on whether women’s sexual empowerment is ever truly empowering when it’s under the male gaze. However, what is grotesque about Smith is that he is a man, caricaturing and fetishising what is Woman. I ain’t here for it. And if that makes me a Pearl clutcher..

I think it's also cos he's so fat

No one would object to Harry Styles or Olly Alexander trying to pull this off.

*runs and hides*

He’s just plain old creepy. It’s like he’s trying to be as vile and sleazy as possible. He’s fat, sweaty, pale, hairy and not very attractive. Which believe it or not I’m not judging him for. I’m pretty fat and pale myself it’s the fact he’s going out his way to accentuate all his unattractive features and thinks we should all fall at his chubby little trotters. It’s bizarre but I can’t say I’m losing sleep over it. I avoid anything he’s on and would not watch his video if you paid me. No pearl clutching here, more like body swerving.

The golden shower / face jizzing scenes though I'm not sure anyone wants to see, from either Styles or Smith
I don’t find either remotely attractive I can’t think of any man I want to see in a thong and nipple tassels actually, especially not my husband. Ick central.
While I think Styles’ gender nonconformity is about as genuine as his relationship with that director lady, he’s not claiming to be a they/them or saying it’s “a shame” that his tantrum meant a woman missed out on a Brit award this year. Smith is repulsive for many reasons. Think it’s widely known he’s an arsehole too.

I'm with you on that, don't like his music and find him physically repulsive.

I'm actually really tired of seeing popsingers trying to be as sexually provocative as they can. Its boring to me now although I know I'm not the target market. Madonna has a lot to answer for because she started the trend and its never gone away since.

I just find it sad that sex has to sell music and female singers think that they have to look like prostitutes to sell music. It's not empowering for women and detracts from their talent.

Does nothing for me, that's for sure.
It isn't ' enabling' , either. It's fucking embarrassing

So you’re saying you don’t want to watch simulations of piss soaked orgies in mainstream media?? Clearly you want a return to Victorian times *holds up sarcasm sign you can see from the moon*

Dylan’s new face has been revealed.

Who wants to tell him he still looks like a man, just one who’s messed with his face?
It’s the shape of his back and waist nobody is buying it mate. Also the photoshop fail on his arm all the surgery, photoshop and filters in the world can’t hide the truth.
