Boobz are a good message
People say they all want the truth, but when they are confronted with a truth that disagrees with them, they balk at it as if it were an unwanted zombie apocalypse come to destroy civilization.

Ya its a music video. Im not being sarcastic, its telling the story of a guy who is addicted to porn and his life is falling apart. Lots of powerful imagery, and its actually really fitting that a lot of people see it and only see boobs because its the same way with porn, most people dont recognize how destructive it can be.

I dont have any more planned but who knows lol

OK that's really interesting I didn't watch the whole thing. Kind of ironic to be animating so many sexy anime girls when critisizing it at the same time, no? I suppose how else would you do it, lol

I have been wondering lately how much of porn = trafficking. How many of those girls don't want to be there. That changed the game for me a lot.

I heard most girls cant do it sober and theyre feeding them vodka shots on the set. Wouldnt surprise me at all to learn they had trafficked girls in it. A girl who went to my high school was trafficked and they did it by blackmailing her by secretly recording her having sex and then threatening to send it to her friends and family if she didnt do what they said.

I'll be honest, I didn't watch it, I'm not big on porn to begin with

that's what I'm talking about, I bet most of the girls you see in porn are stuck or coerced one way or another, and are too young and dumb to know how to get out. It's really scary.

What's the angle on the OP vid? I don't really wanna sit through it all and try to figure out the symbolsim lol but curious what the underlying message is. I am all for being wary of the dangers of porn, but at the same time I am not a fan of feeling guilty for our sex drives or trying to deny it etc. We need healthy ways to deal with that biological part of us. Unfortunately western culture and media has taught us very few viable options, lol IMHO we have been sexually confused as a culture, sex and violence have somehow been intertwined, we've been taught polarizing messages our whole lives about it :(

Ok, watched it

Lots of one eye symbolism along with triangle and inverted triangles. It doesn't come across as titillating at all. Would have to spend some more time with it then I'd like to decipher it all, plus are there links to translate lyrics?

I dont think the message is anti-sexuality, its actually sung from the perspective of the guys ex-gf so seems to be emphasizing that a real relationship is much healthier than the situation the protagonist is in. The guy let his connections to real people slip away as he fell deeper into his fantasy world. Heres the symbolism I picked up off the top of my head :It starts with him in his messy room and he awakens and is immediately captivated by tons of hot girls coming out of a screen, all looking artificial and visually stimulating. So this is a guy who is detached from social norms of cleanliness and just living in his own world. As their dance goes on it becomes darker and shifts from playfully sexual to hyper-sexual, basically showing he is getting pulled deeper into the addiction and things are getting more fucked up. 15 year old me knew exactly what this is like. Behind the dancing girls you can see they are being controlled by a dark multi-eyed ringleader figure, which is presumably a personification of the large companies producing porn, driving the industry, and promoting its pervasiveness. As things get darker the guy starts to look a bit worried and one of the dancing girls gasps and flinches in pain and he looks shocked, probably showing that he is realizing how his addiction is funding the exploitation and harm of the girls he is so fixated on. Then theres a part where the guy wakes up in his room and has seemingly escaped it but then the leader figures crawls out of the screen, pin him to the ground and spits a white foam into his mouth. This is showing that the fantasy doesnt simply exist in the screen, it affects things in your real life. The foam makes him enter a dark psychadelic trance filled with images of the hot girls, and then shows him in a dark void and his ex is in front of him crying, on her knees as if begging him to change. He seems oblivious to it and slowly walks away into the darkness. Pretty clearly its showing she was trying to help him escape his habits and reclusiveness but wasnt successful and thats why they broke up. Next it show him lying bloody and lifeless and one of the dancing girls is eating his guts. This seems to be saying his habit is consuming him and leaving him lifeless and empty. His ex rushes over to his lifeless body crying, and kisses him. His eyes shoot open and he goes into a flashback of images from their relationship as he seemingly snaps out of it and realizes what he has lost and what is happening to him. He screams in rage and rising defiantly, confident to confront his problem. Mech suit armor begins to cover his body as he prepares for war with the enemy. Then you get the scene that looks like an FPS where he is entering the dark room that looks like the internal components of a computer or some other high-tech environment and starts shooting the dancing girls with a laser canon as they attack him. He is having success defeating them, but then the ground shatters and he falls into it rapidly. He sees an image of his ex reaching to him and tries to reach her but the dark leader figure from earlier enters and attacks him, damaging his mech armor. The image of his ex slips into darkness and he is now in the lair of the leader figure. So this whole part is pretty self explanatory, his dedication has lead him to initial success fighting his addiction, but the problem wont be defeating so easily and is now confronting him full force. In the lair you see many wires coming out of the leaders throne leading to computers with people with blank stares watching them, showing bare the control and dependency porn is exerting on multitudes of people. There are legions of dancer girls there but these ones are equipt with machine gun tits and they open fire on him and the leader also launches heat seeking missiles. He tries to evade but through tears starts to look at their tits as his body in shredded to pieces by the projectiles of war. So clearly this is showing he has ultimately failed, given in to his addiction and received all the damage all over again. The girls then approach his shredded body and kiss him as he looks on terrified. It then shows his head with a half-eaten face fall on the ground, and his eye opens in the exact same way it did at the start of the video, which I think symbolizes that its an endless cycle that he will be trapped in forever.

Also I should mention the foam spitting part was cut from the youtube video for some reason but is still on the vimeo version.
