This is excellent bait, and I'll take it. You (hopefully) know as well as I do that twerking with Megan Thee Stallion is more of a "yas queen" than a "does this please you, viewer?" The thing that takes an ostensibly (lol) enticing sexual act and turns it into an "ewwww" is when it's wrapped up in a big box emblazoned with the letters "POLITICAL POWER PLAY." Oh yes please, that's exactly what I want, serve me some ti…

Of course. But, I mean, we've now REALLY entered Rorschach-blot-test territory. I think where you and I might agree: yes, that probably isn't much about "sexiness" but "power." And that's about as far as our agreement goes, I think. I don't really have a problem with it. Perhaps, you're so vain, I bet you think that "yas queen" is about you?

Again, excellent trolling. I commend you.

This is such a weird thing to say. I genuinely don't understand what about I'm saying makes you think I'm "trolling?"

If anything, I find the idea of booty-shake cut-scenes as being remotely connected to anything called "political" extremely silly? Like, sure, it's not about "hey boys look at us," but instead "Go 'head, girl, do your thing!"

Seriously -- where does the concept of "politics" fit here? Even in the BROADEST sense of the term, it's just a (to me funny, because, you know -- booty-shake empowerment?) "hey girl" kind of thing?

I liken this to the autotune songs. I cannot stand autotune. But since about 2005 or so, I can not think of a single song on the radio that doesn't use it. And for the past two or three years, it seems like autotune isn't even used to emulate a human voice anymore. It's not like Cher augumenting some parts of her singing, rather, the whole song (all of them, almost, at least the garbage that I hear in my children's f…

I can not think of a single song on the radio that doesn't use it Do you mean that literally, speaking about FM or maybe even DAB, and if so: may I ask what region you're from that you have no access to radio stations featuring something else than only such songs?

I don't listen to the radio at all, but whenever it is on I can hear the autotune - almost without exception whether the music is in English or Hebrew. I do think that most Arabic songs don't use autotune, though. I'm in Israel.
