Superbowl halftime - scantily dressed women and very covered up men

[Anonymous]

I didn't have a problem with it but the pole was a bit much and in poor taste--it looked really sexual and wasn't really necessary. It didn't help that she was literally being held up on the pole, so was more awkward looking element of the performance.

Miley’s gross.

The tongue thing and pole dancing were mildly gross.
Everything else was great though.

Again, tongue thing is a cultural practice. Kind of like a hee haw

The half time show was more like an over the top dancing act than a real live performance by a talented artist. I prefer the latter, so watching a very capable singer like Shakira dance around while lip syncing and pretending to play the drums and guitar just seemed kind of cheesy.

Know your audience. In the US on a nationally-televised sporting event, it’s kinda gross.

No, only for you and your fellow pearl clutchers.

Miley admits she hardly remembers the performance because she was wasted.

Great quote:

"The policing of Black and brown bodies is as old as slavery and colonialism itself. Our bodies have long been regarded as dangerous weapons that lure otherwise faithful white men from their marital beds; our wombs serving as thieves of government checks stolen from more deserving citizens; our curves are dangerous distractions that serve only to pollute the innocent minds of young boys and girls. Where the Black and brown man’s body is a symbol of criminality and violence, our bodies — and how we move and dress them — have historically been labeled as having more sinister and vulgar intentions."

Also:

"It is the kind of rage that easily unites white women with misogyny under the guise of family values and moral preservation and protection. And it is entrenched in racism and cultural ignorance."

If it helps you to sleep at night to categorize all white women who didn't love the Super Bowl performance as racist 'Karens' and 'Beckys', than so be it. You are narrow-minded and ignorant in your stereotyping though. I don't care if it's Madonna, Miley Cyrus, Beyonce, J-LO, Christina Aguilera, Shakira, Brittney Spears, etc. Miley Cyrus was disgusting at the VMA's years ago. Color does not matter at all in this situation to me but I realize some individuals no matter what will always find a way to throw race into it.

Where was the outrage? There was none. Yet, when it's two non-white women we get a 70+ page thread about these two "scantily dressed women".

There was a ton of outrage against Miley Cyrus at the time. You choose to forget because you see everything as racist and unfair to only people of color. To you, all white women are Karens and Beckys are are racist. How narrow minded is that?! You've made up your mind. We see you flinging race into every topic on here but not everything is about race- https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2402415/Miley-Cyrus-VMAs-Parents-label-performance-sexual-exploitation-20-year-old-tried-shed-Disney-image.html

Can you link the 80 pages of DCUM who protested Miley Cyrus?

To be fair, the Miley Cyrus performance being referred to was the VMAs which has a completely different viewing audience than the Super Bowl halftime show. But plenty of people complained about it.

So DCUM did NOT post 80 pages about a white girl who was clearly wasted rubbing up against a man old enough to be her dad, who also was completely wasted. I didn't think so!

(They have both admitted to being completely wasted, btw.)

Shakira has been playing live with drums and guitar since the mid 90s. There’s more to life than Pearl Jam

Don’t need to cater to the audience that thinks culture is going to Taco Bell

Where in the world is the Super Bowl thought of as a family program.....??!

For children, they can watch the Puppy/Kitty Bowl.

There is a television rating system that should have been used to warn parents about the suggestive content.

Right, because as Americans, we are cool cool cool with the violence that we know leads to debilitating and chronic brain injuries.

But dancing?!?!? NOBODY WARNED US!!!! Where is the manager?

LOL, since when is exotic dancing appropriate for family entertainment? Football and other professional sports have always been something families watch together. The gross grinding and humping was an insult to all of America. There's a time a place for exotic dancing, and the super bowl stage is not it.

Exactly.

This would not be appropriate family entertainment in Latin America, either. Don't pay attention to the one poster who's trying to make you think this was okay.

The million dollar question is why did the NFL allow its audience to get assaulted like this?
