I didn't see the "music video" in the end of the video title so I got so confused when they started singing. I laughed so hard.

Pre-flamboyant educational videos of Dorian are the height of perfection that every Edutainment KZbinr wants to be

[@batmanlikespizza2541]

I thought the dark part was going to be about how butchers wore them so they didn’t slip on blood.

[@love23music1]

Huh?

Who else was expecting some sort of documentary

[@angelkingsley5299]

A bop. Not historically accurate. But a Bop.

[@poeselitoblack6174]

Angel Kingsley Tell me, what’s not historically accurate ?

[@angelkingsley5299]

Fuzzy Bear it supports stereotypes about Marie(She didn’t abandon or neglect her people she was from Austria and the people of France hated her. others in the comments go more in-depth). and doesn’t even start when high heels were invented. It just starts when Eurocentric elitism restricted high heels to the French elite. And then skips to when Eurocentric sexism and capitalism used pornography to bring high heels back in the mainstream. Also.... the images of feet binding at the end are totally irrelevant and separate.

[@angelkingsley5299]

Fuzzy Bear also it randomly shoehorns femininism and proqueer sentiment at the end. Which has not to do with the historical accuracy of high heels.

[@moemchan1473]

The lotus foot binding was accurate, I was surprized they included with history, not many channels includes diversity. 👌👌👌✋🤟👍👍

[@XxxXxx-wt5yu]

@@angelkingsley5299 it did start with a verse about when they were invented tho, "it started with the Persian cavalry" high heels were indeed invented by persians and later on brought on to europe where white ppl popularized them

[@kuchuyobenai9461]

Horrible histories but glam

[@ZNIR777]

catchy, but not quite accurately informative

[@angelkingsley5299]

Not very informative High Heels go back even further.

[@carmat6946]

You have the poetic charm of Kate Bush and the intellect of Bjork - how have you not been playing on every radio already!?!?

Director: How many high heels do you need in this mv Marie Antoinette: Yes

[@nublessed8993]

Love the aesthetic but im guessing it wasnt meant to be historically accurate lol

[@love23music1]

Oh

[@blameitoncapitalism]

right? And why white people always claiming they created shit? that's such a white whashes euro-north-america-centred video! lol not even truth at all missed all parts af heels history thats not placed in white feet, exept for that chinese foot binding that suddenly popped up on screen for no reason at all for its completely not related to the subject. and, poor Marie Antoinette can't have a break lol

[@goodbye7236]

Lizandra Barboza are you really going to make this about race about a song about heels

[@Iced_Out_Soul]

Good Bye True! This is not about race, we are just here to remove social gender construction 🙅🏾‍♂️

[@3skelion]

@@blameitoncapitalism do you understand where persia (iran) is located on a map? and do you understand why persia was mentioned in the very beginning of the video? or does that not compute for ya
