Oh yeah. I still can't get over his interruption of Taylor Swift at the Grammys or whatever it was. Like that was her moment to shine and he ruined it. I think even Beyonce was embarrassed by that and she felt terrible about it.

I don't know him as a person, I love his music.

You have to understand his environment growing up and constantly being put down and getting belittled. It makes you grow an ego to protect yourself after awhile and then when you finally make it **** whatever everyone else was saying. You get to ride on that high and I don't blame him for it. If I was in the same situation, I'd most likely behave the same way it's a freeing feeling.

I can see people saying what she did is inappropriate or too sexual for family television, or I can see them saying it's weird because Robin Thicke is so much older than her but to call her a whore and a slut and all of these horrible things? That's just stupid girl hate and disrespect.

She was exhibiting slutty behavior but that fact has to be glossed over? If it was a male doing it he would get the same labels, it's not just girl hate.

There's a difference between saying someone's a slut and shaming them for it.
They aren't all saying 'Wow what a slut'

They're saying "WOW HOW DISGUSTING, SHE NEEDS TO DIE" etcetc

That's the climate of the internet nowadays though. Look at the youtube comment section and you'll see that all the time. I'm not excusing it as acceptable behavior. I'm just not shocked by it is all.

Arya Stark · 08-27-2013, 12:33 PM

I didn't say I was shocked by it, I said I'm bothered by it. It's disgusting, honestly.
And it's not only the internet, I've been hearing everywhere.

this slut shaming outrage has gone too far. yea people shouldnt say she should die, like chamaleon said its the internet what do u expect from youtube comments

dont do something knowing the type of reation u are gonna get then whine about the reaction. ppl in general should stop setting themselves up to be victims.

of course miley looked trashy thats what she was goin for. just a terrible outfit tho, ugh that ass looked brutal. should fitted her with a different material or somethin

vmas are about as pointless as the espy awards in general

Agreed, I'm sick of reading about it tbh. A slut is subjective anyway, people have the right to call her one. I wouldn't use that word just cos I don't like the word but I can see why people said it...

Nothing to see here imo.

Arya Stark · 08-27-2013, 12:43 PM

Who the hell is talking about youtube comments?

I'm not even going to indulge you guys anymore than that. Slut-shame all you want.
I still think you're disgusting.

Back on topic of the VMAs in general, I actually disagree with all of the people saying the performances were ALL underwhelming. I think Drake's performance was silly, just because the song itself is not a very good one for such a huge crowd, but I'm also not a fan of that song overall, so I may be biased there.

JT was obviously amazing, and I loved seeing N*Sync for the little time they were on stage. You can tell he was humblr too about taking the Michael Jackson award, it was nice.

I just finished watching the Bruno Mars performance. I really don't like that song but his voice sounded pretty good. I think if you like the song and you're a Bruno Mars fan, you're probably going to have liked the performance.

I still have a little bit more to go!
