Haldy 1,232 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Agreed, but it just happened that the Muslims, err some of them, tend to be extremists in almost every Islam-related (arguably the most amongst all religious institutions) to a point that they've successfully presented Islam as a taboo subject within mainstream media. It's not the people who are genuinely offended by this that I'm too annoyed ay, but people latching onto this and being like 'oh my god, she's so disrespectful' as if they actually care when in fact they're just saying it due to disliking Katy. It's really just a case of 'get over it'. Anyone who honestly says they felt offended for ancient Egyptian culture being appropriated in the Dark Horde video (which again is an awful video) is just desperate for something to latch on to it.

elijahfan 25,569 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Well, I'm not one to be moved by religious controversy, but it shows some ignorance and sloppiness from the team behind the DH video. First of all, they should have known it's written "Allah" in Arabic on the medallion. Second, way to mix symbols for different eras, Pharaonic Egypt being around 2000 to 56 BC, but Islam spread in Egypt only in 7th century AD, when the Pharaonic period and symbols were long gone and Christianity was the main faith. Really poor job. Yeah, RIGHT... Grillz, rappers, bouncing cars.... she definitely wanted to make a realistic and historically accurate video, RIGHT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The petition isn't for the (mis)appropriation of Egyptian culture, but the possible symbolic burning of Allah and Islam (I'm playing devil's advocate here) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyoftheDam 4 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Let me sign this just because I'm mad Katy is kind of owning Gaga for quite awhile now. Reason why I signed it too tbh :ohwell: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 680 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 not that this petition would actually do anything, but gosh the willingness to support censorship is contemptible. religions don't get to say what we can put in music videos on youtube. Some gay pop stans are so pathetic - they will side with with repressive homophobic religion for a chance to shade a rival pop girls. I've seen Madonna fans hypocritically do it to Gaga too.

If this hurts Katy, there will be more pressure than ever on Gaga to safe and inoffensive and bubblegum. Nothing about another culture, or religion, or the supernatural.

Kayla 7,595 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 People really try to find any reason to be offended. It may be controversial, but not worthy of censorship in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
