lol that people are surprised music videos inspire masturbation, the reddit is funny though
re that article, I can appreciate sex-positive feminist ideas but I don't see how you can isolate the feminist intention in a video from the sexist reception of it
there's been these terrible ads for protein water in Denmark over the summer, and the video reminded me of them

The last setup involves Nicki giving Drake a lap dance and walking away after presumably giving him a boner, making this Drake’s second most embarrassing public erection after Jimmy’s classroom boner in Degrassi. Drake, of all people — stripper-fetishizing emo prince Drake — is the sexual object in “Anaconda.” And with that final inversion, Nicki more or less flips the whole twerking issue onto its stomach, where it can continue to hump the ground forever.
i don't understand this at all how is sweatpants boner drake the sexual object in this video?

you'd be surprised how many women can make an object out of "if jay-z and elliott gould had a baby"
― da croupier, Thursday, 21 August 2014 18:43 (nine years ago) link
idgi either. nicki is clearly the object of drake's desire. her desire isn't even hinted it. on that score, the only inversion i see is that she retains control, commands desire without being bound by it. but yeah, maybe we're meant to understand that he's the object simply because he's hot?

Leaving the dude w an unfulfilled boner is how every lap dance ends

Drake, of all people — stripper-fetishizing emo prince Drake — is the sexual object in “Anaconda.”
is it only on ilx that drake is considered a goofy dipshit or what
― goole, Thursday, 21 August 2014 20:59 (nine years ago) link
is "stripper-fetishizing emo prince" really that different from goofy dipshit?

From a gay male FB friend:
<i>Just watched Nicki Minaj's 'Anaconda' video. It's like a nuke dropped on the women's 'don't objectify me' movement. Nicky should just change her name to Dat Ass, as her transformation is now complete.<i/>

i haven't seen people go nuts to anaconda, i feel like it's more a filler track in the build up to a song where the beat actually drops, good for building tension but not a release of its own

you guys know that playing up to the male gaze and rejecting the male gaze are not mutually exclusive, right. the position of power that nicki does both those things from is the point. i for one love how she flips from "oh my god, look at her butt" to "stop looking at my ass" like they're both compatible! cuz she can and cuz they are.
― lex pretend, Friday, 29 August 2014 08:25 (nine years ago) link
you know that I get that you can make that argument in theory but that in practice a performer screaming "FUCK THE SKINNY BITCHES IN THE CLUB" over a cover song doesn't necessarily merit a vigorous debate of intention vs action, right?
― go ahead. make vid where u rap about this new TMNT movie. (forksclovetofu), Friday, 29 August 2014 08:38 (nine years ago) link
and that arguing that nicki's objective is subverting power dynamics in a song where she is repeatedly stating that she's "on some dumb shit" is... well, maybe not disingenuous but at the least indicative of a very selective way of appreciating the work?

i mean bully to you for getting something positive out of tanaconda lex but this sounds DOA to me and it's primarily cause nicki's verses are not so good, the production is outstandingly lazy and the various young money tics throughout are maddening it's not so much that you're wrong so much as why bother in support of something this pedestrian
