to think it would be a different reaction if Drake made out with Madonna?

The look of disgust on his face and wiping his mouth.

Aibu to think it would be a different reaction if a woman was subjected to a kiss she clearly was disgusted by?

Madonna has quite often done the 'snogging some famous bloke/woman on stage for shock reaction' many times.
I haven't actually read this story, just seen a photo. I presumed it was pre arranged as all her public snogs are, maybe she forgot to brush her teeth before hand?
If you want publicity from snogging at these events then I think she needs to suck it up, tbh.
Is it being suggested that he didn't want to snog her?

I think Drake's a twat anyway

FreudiansSlipper · 13/04/2015 14:21

not really if it is seen as entertainment

how often are women called bitches and whores and seen being treated as nothing but something to fuck in music and videos

Why?

I was thinking this earlier, he looked like he really didn't like it and she was quite aggressive in the way she did it, it was quite gross.

GlitzAndGigglesx · 13/04/2015 15:01

I saw him live at wireless and he demanded the stage be dried for him so a man came out on his hands and knees drying the stage for him and he was pretty rude to him. He also had the cheek to say something like he doesn't think women should be called bitches but you only need to listen to one of his songs to hear what a hypocrite he is. Is your username a homage to him?

rebelfor · 13/04/2015 15:03

I don't think he was doing an 'Ewww' face to be honest after watching the video. I don't believe for one minute it wasn't scripted either.

GraysAnalogy · 13/04/2015 15:06

hold on his past is irrelevant. if he's a twat thats irrelevant. The point is she shouldnt have just gone and snogged him. If a man grabbed a woman and smacked his lips on her we would class that as sexual assault

Confused

I can name only about 3 of his songs so no clue what you are on about.

Can't see a problem with that, depending on how wet the stage was it would be pretty dangerous to perform on it.

That's what I mean. Ok so you believe he's a twat so therefore it doesn't matter.

If a woman is a twat it therefore also doesn't matter if she was sexually assaulted.

Really?

If your partner pulled that face after you kissed him would you think he enjoyed it?

There's a thread about this in Chat with the video link

YANBU. I felt sick when I watched it.

The reference to your name is because Drake's first name is apparently Aubrey.

GlitzAndGigglesx · 13/04/2015 15:12

Oh wow I've not once said it was ok Hmm. You asked why I said what I did so I explained myself. He still makes music of that nature so of course I'm going to have a view on it

WorraLiberty · 13/04/2015 15:13

And yes, it was clearly a Ewwww face.

He even tried to put his arm up (possibly to end the kiss) but she pushed it down and carried on.

rebelfor · 13/04/2015 15:14

The pictures do look bad, I agree, but upon seeing the whole video, no, it doesn't look like he was 'disgusted'.

fearandloathinginambridge · 13/04/2015 15:15

Until I read this I had never heard of Drake but anyhoo I just googled it and the pic I saw looked like he was in pain. I thought maybe she bit him or their teeth knocked really hard together

GraysAnalogy · 13/04/2015 15:24

The point people are missing is she shouldn't have done it in the first place. She didn't know how he would react unless this was pre-planned.

Whether he looked disgusted, whether he looked shocked, whether he liked it, or whether he play acted to make it seem acceptable.. she should have kept her lips to herself as I would expect any man to.

EvoraEvora · 13/04/2015 15:27

I don't see how him being a twat is relevant in any way??

so is it okay to assuault someone as long as their a twat?

GlitzAndGigglesx · 13/04/2015 15:27

No she shouldn't have done it and I was in no way justifying it. I haven't seen the entire video clip of the song or know it if was pre planned but if it wasn't he didn't look to enjoy it

GlitzAndGigglesx · 13/04/2015 15:29

Evora she asked why I said that so I answered. Please find where I said it's acceptable because I think that. Thanks

glittertits · 13/04/2015 15:29

I think it was scripted too. But scripted doesn't mean he had to fake enjoying it. He was clearly a reluctant participant, probably egged on by producers.

Worra - Knowing anything about Madonna, putting Drake's arm back down was as much about equally about continuing the kiss, and ensuring the photographers could get a clear shot of her face for the money shot.

WorraLiberty · 13/04/2015 15:31

Maybe she had garlic bread for lunch? Grin

DadOnIce · 13/04/2015 15:33

Please tell me lots of people are in the "who the hell is 'Drake'?" club? I was imagining this guy snogging Madge.
