S&M, Sadism and Masochism. It’s easy to bitch and moan about the things we are unable to control. But the matters that are more important in our lives, that needs more attention (i.e like your children’s behaviour) we tend to turn a blind eye on them and expect them magically sort them out.
I have 3 things to say about Rihanna’s S&M video:
- She’s an artist/entertainer. And I guess Yeezy taught her well! While her video is visually stimulating; bright colors, flashy makeup, indecent groping and a hint of soft core porn touch to it, Rihanna and her navy managed to shock the hell out of you and millions of other people. It’s no surprise that the video is being banned. but guess what else she’s entertaining? The media industry. YAY!! So now, while you’re bitching and protesting, Rihanna’s going to be getting interviews to sit her ass down and talk about why she did this video? How does she feel to be labelled as a trashy indecent entertainer with no morals? Then you’re going to sit at home in front of your little laptop, or your God-knows-what inch size TV screen and agree or disagree about her lewdness, and little do you know you’re adding to the channels ratings, who in the end is cutting a nice fat cheque to Miss Robyn Fenty and her navy. So, I say continue clit riding, it’s a vicious circle but she’s not the one getting fucked.
- Her video is inappropriate for children. But G-strings for tweens are as well, fishnet stockings for teens are as well, 2-3 inch knee high boots strongly imitating stripper boots are as well, a 12 year old with a pierced eye-brow/lip/tongue are as well; but parents give into these “trends” without considering the social image their child is portraying and the negative experiences their child may be subject to. Rihanna’s NOT raising your child, you are. So if I had a teenage daughter I’d let her watch the video, hell I’d watch it with her. Then ask her what does she think about the content. What does this video mean to? And then go on about my thoughts about the video as well. The saddest part is that a lot of these kids won’t even understand the subtle concept of S&M, but it’s because of the adults’ negative connotation, that they will no longer perceive it for its mere entertaining purposes, but children will actually look for the real sexual meaning behind it. And that is the most dangerous part about this video, because a child’s mind is easily misled. And I know for a fact sexual content is difficult matter to deconstruct in an adults brain, so what the hell do you expect from a teenager to understand about sadism and masochism when they Google it? Parents need to get involve in their children’s lives and EDUCATE them. It’s your child. So, continue clit riding, it’s a vicious circle and Rihanna is definitely not the one getting fucked.
- The “Princess of the Illuminati” scrolling across the screen at the 2:51 mark. I don’t want to get into deconstructing the video, but I will say this; there is the Good and the Evil in this world. I will spare you the whole politics about the Illuminati, but from what I understand is that they’re some kind of Evil. How I see it, at the end of the damn day it’s your choice to be a good or bad person. “See no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil.” But you know what else tends to happen when you follow the three monkeys’ philosophy? YOU DO NO EVIL. The Illuminati is concept that is socially constructed like everything else on the face of this earth. And honestly, I believe that there is far more wickedness going on in your own backyard that needs far more attention than fearing that Rihanna may be brainwashing me to parade around as some dominatrix as I my mind is subtly manipulated by the many subliminals crammed in this 4 minute long video. Like WTF? There is a protest still going on in Egypt, there are Politicians being shot in head in broad daylight, and sex offenders being moved into a residential area bursting with screaming joyful children... Doesn’t that concern you? Even just a little?
And the ridiculous part about this, if no evil was spoken of from the very beginning, which is Rihanna being labelled as the Illuminati Princess, then she probably wouldn’t have it scrolled across the screen with the other controversial issues she’s linked to. If you believe in this, it’s your prerogative and only on judgement day you shall meet your fate. But at the end of the day, you can keep on clit riding, it’s a vicious circle. You’re fuelling the evil, and you might be the one getting fucked.
