tomsches 16,954 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I don't think that in this particular situation it was a big deal. BUT, we all know that all hell would break loose if a man did this to a woman and that is what upsets me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should all be aware of how our actions make people feel. Making someone uncomfortable isn't okay, we can still do better. But I'm not trying to crucify her. I just don't want to focus on the backlash and dismiss the issue altogether. Because, although small, there is an issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsy Life 118,907 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Yes. She can start apologizing now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brit4ever 2,034 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 It's so strange how when a girl does that it is ok, but when a guy does it is not. I mean, even I feel ok when it happens the first way around, but when a guy is doing it it feels unapropriate. Idk why though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weed 67,047 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I mean I get y’all saying if he wasn’t bothered with it, why should we, but just glazing over kissing someone without asking, esp someone in a position of power, will reinforce the idea that it’s ok dont think Katy’s career should be over, but don’t think we should go “whatever” either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychicGuru 1,592 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Wow this really isn't Katy's era. ARTPOP didn't even get near this kind of press. Gaga's #1 fan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeleteMyAccount 11,881 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Truthfully, would this be perceived so much differently if a man did this to a female contestant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blzr 1,267 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Action and words are means for carrying out an intention. There's such a big difference between the playfulness of Katy and thе malicious self-serving intention of the sexual predator. There was nothing negative about Katy's intentions. It was as innocent as kids playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was as innocent as kids playing. But you gotta admit, if it was a male celebrity doing it to a young female stranger, all hell would’ve broken loose. Why does Katy get a pass? I don’t think what she did was that bad at all, you can tell she didn’t mean any harm, but kissing someone without their concent (which is how the producers staged this) is still inappropriate ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miel 15,009 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Good to hear his statement on it. That said, the whole situation (with the men on the table hootering and hollering and acting a mess) just seems so mid-2000's reality television. If this revival is gonna be like that, then it should die. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylvanas 5,768 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Honestly you guys are so quick to hate on Katy like literally I don't see this as a big deal at all??? He went in for the kiss and y'all act like she held him down on National TV. "Who are we, if not slaves to this torment?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inferno 2,880 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I think its just more of the fact that if the genders were reversed it would take on a whole different vibe. Its an example of a certain double standard that exists in the real world. Do I think she needs to be burned at the stake? Maybe not. But at the same time why does anyone care if she burns in the first place? Shes spent nearly a decade dodging criticism in any regard. Shes not immune to falling from grace and its not like she offered anything in the first place. Let her fade and move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikvs 2,576 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 It's totally not cool. I wouldn't want Katy to kiss me if I didn't want to. The double standard is showing so much when talking about this issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
