It is weird that a grown woman dresses and acts like a tween. As a 40 something white collar professional woman whose professional day job is social justice warrior/lawyer---who is all about gender equality and against sexual harassment---I think it's wrong that she has built a career on sexualizing teen girls (albeit the teen girl is herself). She sets the women's movement back...way back.

Listen, Ladies: we can't have it both ways. Can women dress sexy? Yes. But should they dress like sexy little girls? Nope. Her ponytail and ass-baring babydoll dresses with thigh high boots and little girl voice are intentional marketing strategies, and it's wrong.

If Ariana can lick donuts and criticize Americans, then why can't this old fart of an actor criticize her? She's famous, she's rich because of it, so she's fair game.

Aretha and Whitney didn't dress like teenage streetwalkers. Just saying.

NO honey, YOU actually set the women's movement back...way back. Women can wear what they want, when they want. It's none of your business.

Wrong.

First and foremost: all celebrities are fair game. In exchange for fame and fortune, celebrities open themselves up to criticism. Female celebrities don't get a free pass.

Secondly, this is a woman who is known to be difficult (at best). She's no saint, and she isn't known to be kind or generous.

Additionally, she resorted to sexualizing herself to become famous. And she promotes that to tweens and teens. I think that's wrong. YMMV.

While people can dress however they like, people should realize that the world judges them based on how they present themself. Ariana wants the world to think of her as a teenage sex kitten. Okay. We can do that. But she should be prepared to be judged for that.

Please get a new job at a bank or something until you educate yourself. We don't need you as a SJW. There are plenty of people who can walk the talk, and you're not one of them.

Now see - because you deliberately announced that you're a "social justice warrior/lawyer," that somehow gives you a pass to make the "teenage streetwalkers" comment (which I agree with, btw). But had anyone else made that comment, they would be excoriated - by the other social justice warriors here on DCUM. Such hypocrisy.

NP and a woman. I agree. The Ariana Grande look is that of a sexualized teenager/child and it’s absolutely what she is going for and it is gross, gross gross. I’ve never listened to music and she isn’t a celebrity I follow but she is everywhere, and it creeps me out.

It's amusing, in very black-humor way, that scientists are begging us to do something about climate change but we'd rather focus our energy and power on social media chatter.

Oh the irony of pointing out that people are wasting time commenting on random internet posts as you sit here and comment on random internet posts.

Second, actually is important to call this stuff out. This isn't the first time old gross men have shown their hatred toward Ariana. Eminem, Piers Morgan, and now this washed up loser. Something about her makes them angry, and we shouldn't ignore that or pretend it's okay. It's gross and disturbing. Men grow older and get mad that this young woman has such power over them, rather than choosing to treat them like humans and not objects there for their amusement and when they aren't amused because of their own powerlessness, their disdain.

Good for people, even his fans, for calling him out.

No, it is not. I do not give a shit about a millionaire pop star and what some random guy said on the Internet. But go ahead and rage; I guess everyone needs a hobby.

Oh, the irony of saying he doesn't treat her like a human and then calling him gross, washed up, a loser, and an old man. (FWIW, I"m not a fan of his. I don't even know who he is.)
