Questionable videos.

 

 

[CHAOTIC STYLE.]

"Glamourisation of guns" I mean, the song is about a girl falling in love with A CRIMINAL, what else did they want?

Movies and series can portray all kinds of violence, crimes, etc, and no one bats an eye, because it's just acting, but when a singer does it, it's suddenly wrong? 

I guess the guy who wrote this would have a heart attack watching Mexican series and telenovelas 

[PokemonSpears]

ah, it's a British magazine, that makes sense

[Duff Man]

Im a British man...Britney did nothing wrong AT ALL..are they coming after Rihanna for "we found love" NO..

I can assure everyone that reality shows like love Island is actually damaging people..tv shows have had guns on since the beginning of tv..

The writer is a ******* moron

Why do I see Britney like this in real life tho? Lol

[charlenerose]

I agree. That video always rubbed me the wrong way. I don’t condone any sort of gun violence, especially amongst massive public figures and in music videos where there is wide audience viewership of all ages.

The "Criminal" in question saves her from an abusive, cheating partner and beats up guys who beat up women.

 

That is the best kind of "Criminal" imo

[Alio]

Looks like someone has been sleeping on Britney's insta, our girl doesn't apologize, she scalps ! Run b.tch run. 

[A.a.A]

This is utter nonsense. It’s fiction…

[mhally]

I mean, it was a bit of a tacky plotline back then, let alone now. Who cares? I like MV's that tell stories. We all need a bit of Wattpad in our lives sometimes, lol  I don't think anyone watches this and thinks: "Yup, this is normal "

But then again, sounds like this guy already got whiplash from BOMT, so I don't think there's any reasoning with him

[lunario]

Still a hit in Brazil . 

[Dama Etro]

Excuse me? The acting is bad?  They just hate that it features guns for whatever reason. If movies can feature them, so can music videos. 

[Anibalto]

Deserved. It’s her worst video ever. Period. 

[Stefani]

I mean considering that there's like 5 major mass shootings in the US every month, they're not exactly wrong about gun glamorization aging badly. Even here on Breathe Heavy the gun emojis were removed because of gun culture getting out of hand.

it's not that deep

[electricopop]

At least it's not as bad as the "Perfume" video.
