That Rihanna video debacle.

xheathenx [Edit] [Delete] 13:34, 2 June '11

So Rihanna has a song out which is about men being rapey bastards and what should happen to rapey bastard men who indulge their rapey impulses.

She has a fairly graphic video to go along with the song which involves her being raped, then hunting down the man who raped her and executing him, cap to the dome.

I don't really see a problem with the content of this, but it's got a lot of the press and pressure groups up in arms about it.

The Hinustan Times headline is a bit puzzling to say the least;
http://www.hindustantimes.com/Rihanna-slammed-for-promoting-rape-in-video/Article1-704772.aspx

They are really missing the point, if anything Rihanna is promoting violent retribution towards rapists, but not the rape iteself.

Some other anti-domestic violence groups who are decrying the video appear to be missing an important message, one which I would imagine most victims of rape would agree with. Namely, rapists should be executed.
