He made Megan the stallion mad at an award show and she was fussing at him and everyone was getting mad at her for fussing at him so hard. Why is everyone so quick to defend Justin Timberlake when he was always in the wrong? Why does no one ever want to hold him accountable for the things he does to women? I’m tired of seeing it. 🤦🏾

[@allycinwunderland]

Idk if anyone mentioned this but the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction literally changed the history of live television. Ever since that happened, all live broadcasting shows must be broadcasted a few seconds later than whats happening live. They cant be "live" live. This way if something "crazy" happens, they can cut the cameras (hopefully) before the public is able to see it. Absolutely insane how much this one small moment changed the way media in America is presented.

[@Mondscheinstaub]

Especially interesting when you realize how often we saw exposed dude‘s butts in mtv prank shows. Nobody cared. But a not even fully exposed breast lets people freak out, despite it being the much more aesthetic look than the hairy backside of some prankster dude.

[@allycinwunderland]

@@Mondscheinstaub I always find it weird that streaming services like HBO will seriously show you an entire flaccid penis, meanwhile, most shows wont even show a nipple!

[@narlywaves2371]

There's always been a delay. Lol.

[@Croccifixo]

There doesn't appear to be specific regulation stating they have to be delayed, it's a little more complicated than that. A delay has been used in radio transmissions since the 1950s (introduced to get around the ban on having callers live on air, a six-second delay made it technically taped). CBS used this as a 5-second delay on audio transmissions of the 2004 Super Bowl (sometimes known as an expletive delay, it is used for adding bleeps to live broadcasts), but did not delay the video transmission. The next season, ABC implemented a 5-second delay on all sports events, but the NFL required them to add an additional 5 seconds for NFL matches. Most stations do have a delay today, but it seems it is not something required, rather it is to avoid showing incidents that may get them sanctions by the FCC. Basically, it made the networks self-regulate to avoid potential for broadcasting sanctionable content. Interestingly, the effects were not limited to live broadcasts, as the FCC has apparently become somewhat lax in moderating content on daytime television. After this incident, FCC boss Michael Powell said that they were gonna start cracking down harder on breaches of indecent content, which led to changes in Soap Operas (no more sex scenes with partial nudity), some shows that were already filmed were re-edited, Howard Stern was removed from several radio stations, all in an effort to not run afoul of the FCC censors. The key thing is that it is all related to the FCC censors, none of this is applicable to cable. Another notable impact, maybe the largest impact this half-time show had, is this very platform. The creators of KZbin stated that the reason for creating a platform for people to upload videos was that they had a hard time finding videos of this incident and of the 2004 boxing day tsunami online.

[@nickklavdianos5136]

I still don't get why that was such a big deal. A boob was exposed. Ok and? People haven't seen that before? I have to say, I never really got the whole taboo with that. I think in general the conversation about why 'showing skin' is considered taboo and what body parts are 'ok' or 'not ok' to be exposed, is a very interesting one and humans should have it at some point.

[@Salimah45]

It’s still so amazing to me that Janet Jackson’s career suffered while Justin Timberlake’s flourished. The media tore her up for the wardrobe malfunction. And it’s so jacked up that Justin Timberlake kept quiet about it. He made it seem like it was all Janet’s fault. I felt so terrible for her! I’m glad things seem to be getting back on track for her. And I think David Letterman kept pouring salt in the wound EVEN after Janet Jackson was clearly uncomfortable with him continuously bringing up the situation, she asked him to change the subject but he wouldn’t.

[@luvondarox]

Agreed 100%. My respect for Timberlake tanked after he got glorified for "exposing the titty" (a phrase I got sick to death of hearing in high school), and while I knew I didn't like Letterman, after seeing just part of that episode I haven't been able to tolerate that pathetic little bully. But I have to give credit for the show's producers, too; they let the little creep just keep egging her on instead of shutting it down.

[@truthspoken8567]

This happened because of race. It’s strange to see bw saying “misogyny” to try and not offend for telling the truth. That situation wasn’t a gender situation. It was a skin tone situation. If it was a ww and a bm especially a bm rapper then he would’ve took the hit and the ww pop star would’ve been painted like Taylor Swift. This is probably why bm give bw push back because of sh!t like this.

[@annabonagurio6593]

Justin Timberlake is truly a disgusting person, not only did he made Britny abort at home without anesthesia, but he also had the audacity to do nothing for her even at that moment. in fact while she was there on the floor suffering the pain of hell he thought it was a good idea to sing her a little song. all of this is very disturbing and says a lot about their entire history.

I don't have any nerves left for the hypocrisy and audacity that is our societal norm, human race in its humility doesn't evolve, only technology does and it scares the f* out of me, because I see how we still punish women for solely existing and having their physical body harsher than we punish politicians who literally kill people across the globe, classifiying nations, religions and skin color and I can't anymore.

The more I look back at the early 2000s as an adult, the more lucky I feel to be an adult today. Turns out the early 2000s were some of the most regressive times relative to now.

I was born in 1999 and as a 24 year old I observed and analyzed that decade and the very early 2010s. Backwards times.

[@lisetteb8727]

I was born in the 80’s and I’m sure that times like the 1950’s were way worse than the 2000. Unfortunately misogyny and the patriarchy exist and women until this day aren’t treated as well as men. Every decade it seems to be getting better for women but not fast enough.

[@efghd2624]

As someone who was a tween/teen in the early 2000s, seeing nostalgia for it such a weird experience. I think its fine to like the aesthetics and the music, but I see so many so many young people say things like "I wish I grew up in this era" or overly romanticize it. We have so much documented evidence of how horrendous that time period was, its so strange to me that anyone would want to go back.

[@outlawfly664]

Oh please i was a late teen in the late 90s and early 2000s to, and i fully disagree, and yes i want to go back to the 90s and early 2000s any day of the week rather than keep experiencing this laughable generation. Nostalgia is nothing but a buzzword a very few selective people use to justify this laughable but sad generation. Everything was better objectively in the 90s and 2000s across every spectrum you can think of socially, culturally and economically, and especially across the entertainment medium which is the topic here. What documented evidence do we have to suit this narrative other than surface level? Men celebrities where scrutinized by the media to during those years, and in this particular generation, the western world basically hates men, even their masculinity is being targeted, so what's the difference?

[@efghd2624]

lmfao @@outlawfly664 thank you for showing exactly what I mean. The culture of the 90s and 2000s produced guys like you. Perfect example of why we shouldn't go back. Western society doesn't hate men, its just moved past (openly) supporting men being shitty to women. There's way more to masculinity than attacking and trying control women, so its insane to view critiques of those behaviors as an attack on masculinity itself.

@K.C-2049Question of the Century. They are socialized by media and their friends to see women as trophy props and objects to be used for their personal interests and then discarded when the thrill is gone and they realize that she is a human being with her own mind and opinions that they can’t project their feelings onto. Father’s compartmentalize this with daughters because they feel like they own them and that they are an extension of themselves. Everyone else’s daughter is fair game though. I think that is why they hate when women such as Taylor Swift and Rihanna figure it out and beat them at their own games, playing them instead. To really know what a man actually thinks about women, you must listen to how he passively speaks about them in conversation especially if it’s heated topic. If he is rational with them, it is likely he will be rational with you, but if doesn’t hesitate to tear them down, you can bet he’d feel the same way about you if the pendulum swung your way.

OK well what kind of message will you not taking no for an answer send to little boys. Janet said no he should respect that no he didn’t.

[@ToniBryanneTV]

I still consider 2007 the early 2000s

[@Chillikilli]

​@ToniBryanneTV that's just like saying 1997 is early 90s.

[@faeriegraver]

​@@ChillikilliI get what you mean. If I think early 2000s I think of the first decade. I feel like that's what most people picture when they hear "early 2000s" they think of 00s only. But if you think of the 2000s as a whole millennium, I guess 2007 is early. So I guess it's a difference of perspective, although it's a difference of perspective that most people won't understand as they're viewing things in decades. I swear it took a good few years before "noughties" was commonly used, and I don't even think that's used that much any more. It's just that the 20th century had such clearly defined decades.

I was a little kid (born in 96) and i was so shocked at people just TRASHING her because of those pictures 😢 i felt so Bad for her, the pictures were stolen and they blamed her for taking those pictures

[@forproject1666]

​​then imo 2000s should be 2000-2009, only 2000-2003 is early 2000s, only really young people usually think of 2008-2009 as early 2000s​@@faeriegraver

I love when you comment🫶🏽

[@calebivey1776]

I'm glad you are covering stuff like this. Idk why humiliating women makes men feel more powerful or feel like they have more control. All I could come up with is that all these men suffer from "masochism" which is something really sick that I wish I never found out about. But it could also be severe cases of "machoism" 🤦😆😅 I love you and once again, your hair is freaking FIRE!

[@ImaniAlchemy]

I’m not shocked about Disney’s comment about Vanessa. Remember when they had all them Disney stars promoting and wearing purity rings? That’s what they stood for. It’s disgusting

[@baileymoran8585]

Also, I’m amazed and refreshed that you are defending Vanessa. I know logically not all Christians are anti-woman but so many are, that I’m amazed at the strength you showed in standing up for women.

[@crystalsherman8896]

Who said Christians were anti-women to begin with? People are the issue. God, Jesus and Christianity, the Bible arenot the issue. Never has been.

[@Moonless-ih9em]

There are many, many different Christian sects just like there are many different islamic sects. So it always baffles me when people assume that all Christians are something like the westboro babtists. (curiosly they usually don't treat other religions this way) as a christian (from finland) this makes me so sad, people are so open to assume extremely negative things about every Christian. I'm a Christian AND a feminist/pro women's rights.

Sarah Silverman is a disgusting human being for talking about Brittney’s kids and calling them mistakes… that’s beyond messed up.

[@TheBlackDorothyZbornak]

I'm glad youre touching on this. The way folks act like the 90s and 2000s was this fairytale is so annoying. Misogyny, European beauty standards, the list goes on!

[@vikki8699]

I still believe Justin Timberlake did that on purpose because Janet was at the height of success and some people, especially men like Justin, like to "humble" successful women. Everything that happened after was damage control to save Justin's career at Janet's expense. Justine said it was a stunt gone wrong and it seemed that Janet had to go along with it and take the flack. Justine apologized first to damage control himself at Janet's expense and everyone bought it! I believe Janet and her team were trying to figure out what happened during that time and were felt holding the bomb. I want justice for Janet! She did NOT deserve that! Justin should have gotten the backlash for being irresponsible and putting Janet in a vunerable position. Justin should have been fined for that move. Thanks for this video. The hate on feminine women was wild in this era. I remember growing up in this era thinking girls and women are canon fodder for entertainment and wierd male pleasure. This made me decenter boys and men from a young age and work on myself. Thank God I did. So many people wanted to get something on me to "humble" me as I was becoming successful. Never fell for it and immediately cut those people off with no warning. Blocked and delete. Right now, I believe things like this in the 2000s are still around however they are more tackful and strategic, unhanded and sly nowadays. Stay frosty ladies.

[@saiyamoru]

This is completely irrelevant but I'd also like to say HOW LAME justin timberlake's outfit was in comparison to janet's. Like she comes serving samurai armor leg plates and black leather and a vibrant red/black contrasting color scheme and he shows up in KHAKI CARGO PANTS he should have been dragged offstage by a cane

[@akedi2734]

Hahaha YOU RIGHT BC I REMEMBER THINKING DAMN her outfit is so cool, like pls sell me the pants TODAY. But don’t remember his outfit 😅

[@aracelymartinez2981]

Great video I can’t wait to see part 2 although you can easily make more episodes because girl you just touched the tip of the iceberg. The 90s were also TERRIBLE there’s Woodstock 1999 and all the women/underage girls that were assaulted, Howard Stern with his problematic show, the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal, the unauthorized release of Pam Anderson’s tape…. I’m sure there’s more

[@ShhhandGiggles]

The world is soooo offended by the female body. 😒 We are always made to apologize for our bodies. Ridiculous

[@headintheclouds7905]

It's so weird and annoying, cause they're offended but also obsessed. Can't be a "prude" but can't be a "slut"

[@laurienvanlook8601]

Even here in Europe i remember boys having videos and pictures of girls they didnt even know go around the whole school 😢 also i got messages some boys asking me for nude pictures..i was like 13 it was so crazy

[@rihannasyummytoes]

I honestly think they took pleasure in humiliating women who couldn’t fight back.

[@ytrewq12345]

I don't recall why school asked me to do a pop culture essay, but I end up with Britney as my subject, I remember doing an analogy between cameras and guns, my professor was so fkg proud. Few years ago someone told me he still uses my project as reference... I can not express my discomfort being a child at the time and freaking out about my own line of thoughts seeing cameras as something that can protect you or destroy you. But not taken seriously as a gun. Still to this day, I know the power of a photo or video and I know it can be worse than a gun. I never lost someone to a gun, but I lost to a video... And happens everywhere, all the time...

[@charlieblanche3321]

Is no one going to mention that Justin after more than a decade later he gave a half ass apology to Britney and Janet

[@sohanicridland9116]

You should do a part two with Aaliyah, Brandy, Adrienne Bailon-Houghton, Beyoncé, and Lindsay Lohan.

[@madilittlefoot8988]

Holy shit. The clip of the comedian talking abt Britney at the VMA’s made me physically angry.. that was so fucked up.. the fact that even the crowd sounded like they were upset? Like yeah some people laughed but she knew that was wrong.

[@shanela9274]

amazing video. Poor Britney, she deserves better.

[@kathrynbeiter2356]

I just genuinely don’t understand how people could blame Janet. I’m so glad people are waking up to the fact that Justin is to blame (and apparently his tour ticket sales aren’t doing well).

[@BobbieLavender]

i dislike Justin Timberlake even more now.

[@CeruleanBlue-y8q]

I am so glad this era is being addressed. I’m 45 and being in my early 20’s during this time was weird and uncomfortable. I couldn’t place my finger on what the problem was, but I never felt comfortable just being myself. I remember loving Gwen Stefani, she was a bad ass chic with great musical talent. I was raving about her to my boyfriend at the time and he felt the need to insist that she had slept with all the members of her band. So a woman just existing in a predominantly male space meant she was sexually involved with all of them?? Ok, I know better now and make it a point to be true to myself everyday. But at the time I felt I needed to be reserved and not give anyone a reason to think I was “loose”. What a messed up time. F&@k the patriarchy. We’re (women) just people, and the sooner men realize that the sooner they’ll begin to “understand” women.

Thanks for posting this many more people need to know how they wrecked britney.. i once saw a video of her crying to the paparazzi to just stop filming her always felt really bad for her

[@DarkEchoesALW]

How do these kids know what happened to Vanessa? Obviously these moms didn’t do a great job monitoring what their child sees. Or they may be exposing their children to this mess themselves

Even as a kid, I always for some reason got bad vibes about JT from when he was in Nysnc. When all the girls were crushing on him, I was just like Yuck and this was before all the scandals he was in came out. The scandals just confirmed my intuition about him!

the fact that Justin wanted to "embarres" Britney for being a Madonna wanna-be when HE HIMSELF tried to be the white Michael Jackson. I CANNOT.

[@racheldobbs2028]

Going back down some bad memory lanes here...I was in my 20's during the 00's so a lot of this was in the periphery however, as a teenager, I listened to Janet Jackson and have great respect for her and for her to be treated in such a disgusting, horrible fashion after that mistake because that's what it was--a mistake, something that should've been blown off, infuriates me. She was mistreated for nothing, for something so petty and it's so sad that her long, illustrious career suffered as a result of something like that. As for Brittney, I was never a fan but looking back on how she was treating, it makes me sick. She was abused by everyone around her and for what? Hearing how she was treated after her performance at the VMAs, after she had just had a child and for that ridiculous Sarah Silverman to make such hideous comments!!? I would cry too--I'm choked up with anger on Brittney's behalf. No wonder she went into a mental health breakdown with everything she's been dealt with and with little to no one around to help her truly. I can only hope she'll find some healing and peace in time.
