[News] New Sam Smith video (who?)

[Seagull27]

Watched on mute as I can't stand their voice. Can't see what the fuss is about, there have been plenty of music videos over the years that have had more explicit nudity and sex references

Remember this one coming out when I was a teenager. Might have watched it a few times.

I don't see the problem with it. No more controversial than Madonna or even Adam Ant back in the day and fantastic to be able to see someone that identifies as they do getting plenty of air time. The days of gender fluidity are here to stay and is getting stronger with each passing generation. I'm sorry if you struggle with that concept, but seeing my nieces and nephews not giving a crap about such things as masculinity or femininity gives me hope for the future.

Kids under the age bracket of (discuss) should not have access to this.

Really not sure what your problem with it is. Plenty of videos over the years of semi naked women writhing around - didn't see any uproar about them - Blurred Lines excepted.

Only issue I have with it is that it could show Paul Barber how dangerous bottles can be even without bottle tops - awaiting an outright bottle ban at the Amex.

I have 3 kids aged 11-17. Take it from me, they won't give a shit

Best thing to do is start a thread about it, where kids can access it, then

I honestly baffles me how and why people get all pissy about stuff like this.

I think the fact that the OP has posted and not returned says a lot about their motives.

I do wish there was an option to hide threads on forums. I have no interest in topics like this whatsoever ... and yes, I know I can just choose to ignore it ... but when these pointless threads keep popping up at the top amongst those that you are interested in ...

Because they have a few drinks on a Saturday night and are suddenly REALLY angry about gender fluidity in case their own kids catch gayness

I can’t either, but it’s not about me. It’s about what is offered and available to kids on social media

I agree that we need to monitor what kids watch when they’re at a young and impressionable age because it can drastically change what they consider ‘normal’ and alter who/what they become as the grow older.

For example I grew up reading Dr Seuss books and I now identify as a cat in a hat.

Given the tone, time and date of the OP I'd say Greenbag will be there a lot sooner than that.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

I also love the naivety that some adults think a music video is the worst/most damaging thing kids are exposed to. They know about social media, right?!

As you started this thread, what is your view? You haven’t suggested an age and you haven’t said what it is in the video that you think might be unsuitable for younger children.

 

[wellquickwoody]

It's literally only the old Daily Mail mob that have a problem with Sam Smith identifying however it chooses to do so. Proper cry for attention.

The playing of the victim card is a shame as Sam is a very talented vocalist and shouldn't need to resort to this nonsenical Gen Z shite to gain attention.

Corrected.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Corrected.

Not really.

 

[nickbrighton]

as said above , if this was a female singer dressed exactly the same-no thread

Arkansas has taken to the extreme and classified ANY venue that has drag acts in the same category as strip clubs, now THAT is worthy of discussion, the video here isnt

 

[LamieRobertson]

He's now classed as non binary.

In my day that was a word you’d only hear in Maths lessons :wink!

This was on 4 music constantly when I was growing up.

It's not a new thing to have scantily clad people in videos, I'd imagine OP is just a bigot.

So if we're talking binary, what's the score going to be today
