If gamers manage to find a way to create an add-on to their already violent game that makes it possible to rape prostitutes, such as Grand Theft Auto? “It’s just a game!”ĭaily Headlines & Evening Telegraph Newsletter If a woman is being objectified in a music video? “It’s just a music video!”. It’s hard to criticise certain types of media without being told you are overreacting, or that you don’t understand the subversive, or ironic, nature of the art form. It’s not that long ago that Robin Thicke, Pharrell and T.I paraded around a set with scantily clad models, pulling on their hair and playfully singing about ‘tearing their ass in two’ in Blurred Lines. Doesn’t he know that stalking is one of the most common types of intimate violence between couples? According to the British Crime Survey from 2010/2011 18.1 per cent of women aged 16-59 have experienced some form of stalking since the age of 16.īut hey, it seems that violence against women is just ‘art’ for musicians.
