god forbid a woman have a grasp on her own sexuality
I don't think people have an issue with her having her own sexuality.
I think people have finally woken up about the sickening exploitation in the entertainment industry and the way women are sexualized and pressured by major labels then thrown away when they aren't "sexy" anymore, absolutely destroying their mental health and sense of self worth as going far back as Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland, Amy Winehouse, Amanda Bynes, Brittany Spears, etc.
Have people seen albumn covers?
why are famous named after lies, tailor swift isn't a tailor nor fast, ishowspeed never showed any sense of speed, bill clinton isn't a dollar he's a guy,, and this girl is not even a carpenter she can't even do a pushup right in that cover image???????
WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?
WHY IS EVERYTHING JUST LIES IS THAT HOW YOU GET MONEY??? THROUGH DECEIT??? FOR RECEIPT YOU MUST DECEIT??????????????????????????????????? RECEIPTS JUST TELL YOU WHAT YOU USED MONEY ON I DON'T UNDERSTAND I FEEL COLD

never even heard of this person before today, so i guess her marketing team figured out how to get people talking.
She’s absolutely massive. About in the level of Chappel Roan and Charli.
Charli is nowhere near as big as those two, she just has a much more dedicated fan base to boost her
You think? Brat was a cultural event in a way that I can’t remember any full album being in a long time.

Satire does not work. It just reinforces the thing it's satirising because it is literally the content that its fans want to see.
It sells, because people on one side are entertained by the satire and the people on the other side get the exact content they want reinforcing their beliefs anyway.
I am anti-satire.
Interestingly the hogs in the UK hate this. Daily Mail comments section can be summed up with "This sets women back decades, it's like we're in the 60s/70s again".
Also, I don't see how this is satire.
Sabrina is pretty openly horny and makes horny music, often about how she likes being in subby roles with men. I think she may just like giving head while getting her hair tugged and wrote some music about it.
The biggest problem with satire is that people don't know what satire is. "Satire" sucks now because it isn't satirical. Words no longer have meanings, everything is just vibes.
Making an allusion to a concept without any statement at all on that concept? fuck it, that's satire.
You mean something figuratively? fuck it, say literally.
Even prescriptivism is useless, because reading comprehension and media literacy are non-existent.
It's what bad modern day satire has turned into which is just "look at me I'm doing the thing"
Okay but that still suggests some satirical intent. I don't think she's gone that far even, I think she just likes the thing and is doing it.
100% I don’t think this is satire it’s just hot
This is my least favorite recurring Hexbear take tbh. Not all things dubbed "satire" are the same and didacticism is not the only way.

the way I see it, the problem with satire is that good satire straddles a very very thin line: if you're too subtle, the satirical aspect is lost on the target audience that you're making fun of, but if you're not subtle enough, it's no longer identifiable as a plausible representation of the thing in question, and then it becomes pointless

Are we sure that there's mass controversy on this, and it's not just two people on Twitter mildly criticizing it, some people replying in agreement and then moving on with their day, and the media blowing it out of proportion?
Monocle-popping outrage about risqué album covers!
It's the perfect cover because it can be both simultaneously to different audiences, creates controversy and engagement which drives publicity, and sells. Companies have been doing this since the invention of the picture record sleeve.
Iran before the revolution
The cover in question.
She just dropped a new single called "Manchild". The video is cool.
IDK. I don't have a real dog in this race, BUT, I did enjoy "Short n' Sweet". The track "Please, Please, Please" is entertaining. Something like two thirds of the songs are her bashing on dummies she's dating, and her lyrics suggest she's at least self-aware about dating dummies. 
Okay I see this album cover and immediately go “Oh it’s a kink thing”
“Is women being open about their sexuality bad for feminism?” is a wild take
Two thoughts on this
"What's wrong with being sexy?"
"There's such a fine line between clever and stupid"
I almost wonder if the spinal tap homage is intentional
This just in: An artist has released |media| that is |controversial|, sexual style
Please, click and share this controversy
Less cynically, good for her. I don't care about her or her music (I'm very picky with my musical tastes), but like, get that bread
To me the cover looks like it was designed to provoke and be "controversial" and I guess it's working. She's got an album to sell and people are talking about her, so put a point in her (and her corporate backers') column.
