Maroon 5 have lost their fucking minds.

[FuckOffFerret]

Big fat trigger warning. I've never seen such hyper sexualised violence agaisnt women in a music video before. And considering that's pretty much all videos now, I think that says a lot.

Huffpost link here

I've just watched it. That's really fucking creepy. What a horrible video what were they thinking?

WHAT...THE...FUCK

That is disgusting on all levels.

Creepy.

I don't know if the fact that the woman in the video is his wife makes it better or worse

Desperate and weird.

You'd hope as his wife, she would be able to say, this is a fucking horrible video.

Just seen it.opening minute wouldn't look out of place as the opening of a horror film, it is pretty yucky and im surprised maroon 5 d this kinda thing

Is this going to be shown before 9pm?

Well that was disgusting, on multiple levels. What were they thinking?

That's creepy as Fuck. Who sat and thought to themselves 'I know a great idea for the video, let's have a guy spend his time stalking a pretty lady in between playing with animal carcasses, people will love it!'

The comments under the video that call it "thought provoking" are interesting aren't they? "it's obvious the man is supposed to be unwell" etc. Well yeah, but it's still providing a man's obsessive dream of fucking a woman in blood as wank fodder isn't it?

Did any of you listen to the actual lyrics as well? They're nearly as bad as the video.

"Animals"

Baby, I'm preying on you tonight
Hunt you down eat you alive
Just like animals
Animals
Like animals

Maybe you think that you can hide
I can smell your scent from miles
Just like animals
Animals
Like animals
Baby, I'm

So what you trying to do to me
It's like we can't stop we're enemies
But we get along when I'm inside you
You're like a drug that's killing me
I cut you out entirely
But I get so high when I'm inside you

Yeah you can start over you can run free
You can find other fish in the sea
You can pretend it's meant to be
But you can't stay away from me
I can still hear you making that sound
Taking me down rolling on the ground
You can pretend that it was me
But no

Baby, I'm preying on you tonight
Hunt you down eat you alive
Just like animals

So if I run it's not enough
You're still in my head forever stuck
So you can do what you wanna do
I love your lies I'll eat 'em up
But don't deny the animal
That comes alive when I'm inside you

Yeah you can start over you can run free
You can find other fish in the sea
You can pretend it's meant to be
But you can't stay away from me
I can still hear you making that sound
Taking me down rolling on the ground
You can pretend that it was me
But no

Creepy. As. Fuck.
Visually and the lyrics.

What on earth were they thinking??
Is stalking 'fashionable' just now - what with the TV series an'all??
WTF.

It's simply irresponsible. They're just adding yet another piece of media that shows male violence against women in a "cool" way. Like we needed that?

Ugh. Awful.

Kind of off topic, but kind of on topic.

Think about how "disgusting" menstrual blood is meant to be during sex for some men. And then look at that last scene where they're fucking covered in blood. If it was period blood would they have even been able to make the video? I bet it wouldn't be allowed.

Thats a good point ferret.

It's violent porn showing women as (a) pieces of meat (b) sex objects to be preyed upon and hunted down.

The men don't come out of it well either, but they are the ones doing the hunting and fantasising - v disturbing.

Puts into a rather nasty light the expression my Grannie used to say to describe how women should conduct themselves "Man is the hunter, woman is the hunter". She used to put my hackles up with that one.

That was far far worse than I was expecting after reading this thread. If anyone sees this broadcast on television, please post here so we can complain to Ofcom.

TBH they have form for this sort of crap. The video for Misery is a celebration of domestic violence.

But isnt he saving her from a violent husband?

that video?

;

? choochi

Flora, I just read the article, that was enough for me. I really don't want to watch the actual video.

Imagine if there was just ONE reversed type of video, there would be men raging and ranting about feminazis and women having gone too far, the SCUM manifesto would be brought up etc.

Holy shit. What can we do?
