Sam Smith has sparked a row over 'hyper-sexualised' dancing in their new music video with critics arguing it is 'normalising pornography' in pop culture - but fans claim it is 'empowering'.

The 'raunchy' video for the singer's new track I'm Not Here To Make Friends has led to a debate over whether it should be age restricted on platforms such as YouTube due to its supposedly explicit content.

It shows them arriving at a castle in a helicopter before dancing alongside a large number of performers wearing corsets, suspenders and nipple tassels. A fountain of water is also seen being sprayed into the singer's mouth.

In other scenes, the dancers are filmed slowly thrusting on a bed wearing only black leather underwear and later surround Smith, who is non-binary and uses the pronouns they/them, while dancing provocatively.

Fat man dances like a stripper in women’s lingerie accompanied by other men in women’s underwear dancing for teens and tweens. Calls himself non-binary so grooming is forgiven and the debate is about pornography for some fucking reason.

The way that the media, even the right wing media, humours this fat twat is unbelievable.

It's all just marketing. That they use this 'controversial' angle to sell the blandest chart pop is hilarious.

You're exactly right. It's such a piece of lightweight crap as a song that no one would be paying any attention to it otherwise.

I gave it a listen because curious. Anodyne normie mush you'll hear at the gym, in the supermarket, on someone else's car radio. But never voluntarily. Similar vibe to whatshisface from One Direction. All pandering, no vision.
