Sam's response.

I can guarantee there is absolutely NO controversy surrounding this video.

It’s all just his team trying to drum up interest. how can Sam even say that when the show was recorded before the video was even released? Lol

[Kimmo 70,454]

That’s right we’re here to clock anybody shaming them… 

 

Even I get hate because their fabulous gifs make them uncomfortable… but their favs can release sex books, sex anthems, dildos etc… and get praise for it …

Well Sam can do it too 

[Plastic Flower 1,080]

People are talking a lot of **** about them mostly because they're queer and gained weight.

That's exactly what I was thinking lmao the BLATANT LIES, the desperation. And those are not "fans", they are verified accounts probably paid by their team.

There is but is mostly internal, they’ve been getting hate since the first time they decided to be free and not give and F…. They’re even shaming their weight and appearances 

Under the VEVO promo videos people were saying pretty awful things about them just like on Twitter and every pop forum… 

Even I have been asked and beg to stop using gifs about them just because it makes them uncomfortable…. Just think about that… Im  using this as an example and an example only… but we can use gifs of Beyonce shaking her booty, but somehow Sam is being frowned for it… well deal with it, there’s more to come

I say we should have more Sam GIFs  #Solidarity

i'm enjoying that sam smith is being unapologetically queer in their work and anyone saying the reception would be positive if it were a skinny white person doing it is correct

personally i am not a fan of the content itself but i know how to keep my mouth shut

Agreed. Just 'cause they gained weight and is showing their queerness they're getting all this hate.

I guess it's the bathroom scene? golden shower innuendoes and dancers showing half an ass cheek  It's a non-troversy honestly.

xtina had direct references to watersports (and other fetishes) in the dirrty video way back in 2002 and mtv still called it 'perfect'. i guess the same generosity isn't given to gay men (who knew)
