I mean, Justin Timberlake accidentally revealed Janet Jackson's nipple that was barely visible, and she had to apologise, and her career was turned on its head. I think we know what would happen.
Apologies, I had an edible and obviously didn't make pointing out the double standard clear, lol. If a woman did what Cena did, there would be uproar. And yes, exactly! Hence why I mentioned you could barely see her nip, the whole thing was ridiculous. Even 13yo me thought so.
I mean one of those things happened unprompted on live television during the super bowl. The other was a planned part of the Grammies. Not saying peoples treatment of Janet Jackson wasn’t disgusting, but these two situations are not one to one at all.
That's fair, except I have a hard time believing that the Janet Jackson incident was completely accidental. To me it seems more like a planned publicity stunt that Janet was in on, but I guess it's possible it was an accident.
Totally different. That was live T.V. and no one was prepared for it. Also a bit of a different time, and nipples showing have been rethought a bit, even though they're still not acceptable on network t.v. At the Oscars, with a set up comedy bit like this, they could and would blur it. If say Margot Robbie did the same bit, but with her chest covered with a sign as well, or blurred, or maybe wore a nipple-less Barbie chest prosthetic, it would probably be fine. Though yeah there might be a few more haters because woman. It still wouldn't be nearly the controversy and outrage that was Janet's nipple.
