Do you guys remember when the Katy Kats Klan were saying that she was coming for a vengeance and would destroy every one of the Katy Kats fan base enemies  

Do you guys remember when they heard that she was working with Dr. Luke they started celebrating and chanting that their mother was "coming for blood"  

This is a DISASTER on soooooo many levels

They deserve to suffer all the embarrassment and more

[Pheromosa]

so is she saying its not a woman's world?

[CandleGuy]

I love that her pitch for her big comeback was "what if we made a mockery of feminism and had a rapist produce it"

[nostalgic]

Her personality is so unbearably cringeworthy for no reason  it's always giving soccer mom that aged out and wants to be cool for the kids.

[SinnerCity]

Can she just like? Shut up already 

 

[Velvet Night]

If you have to explain it, it didn't work. 

[Nova_23]

This just makes it worse because the video and song completely miss the mark and can't even be passed off as satire  Her team really hates her don't they 

[politeone]

Y'all do too much on Katy. It's not cute

Isn't satire supposed to be clever though? 

So intelligent

[Spicy Pisces]

She truly said-

[Illuminati]

I kinda believe her but this doesn't have the depth to be successful at it. She tried this exact concept with Bon Appetit, where she got to be nude and had a bunch of men fingering her but then also pretended she had a message and it fell flat just the same.

 

It's not satire, it's **** Pop with excuses

I can't see the 'reset' part without thinking about Normani and her culture reset 

[Smarticle]

KatyKats were saying 'camp' though

From "the single is a gift for the fans" to "releasing my single was a satirical move"

Serving MARINA releasing 2012 Dr Luke-produced electro pop songs saying she's making fun of 2012 Dr Luke-produced electro pop songs when she just wanted a hit like the other 2012 Dr Luke-produced electro pop songs

Didn't Katy do the same with CTTR? Criticizing dance poppy songs with a dance poppy song ? 

[State of Grace.]

There's absolutely nothing hard to get about it. Both the song & video are garbage. We get it, but we're not here for it. But I can see her and her team continuing to push this DOA bomb until September and running with this "the public did not get it!!!!!" narrative.

 

Also if your satire needs explaining then it's terrible Katheryn. The fact that this was filmed at the video shoot set too omg.

It definitely does have a strong hint of male gaze

This is the thing. I get it's camp because that's what Katy has been the whole time. It's not that people don't get it, it's that her output is lacking in many fronts

[CovalentBondage]

She really fumbled her career, her only side project being a host for a failing reality competition show. Now she can't even release a successful music project.

The way you're switching like HOUDINI again

 

Catch me or I go Houdini

 

Dua is so impactful I see

[Zylo]

I just refuse to believe that her PR team and every person in that damn board room said yes to this song and MV as the lead. Surely they knew how easy it would be for people, reviewers, and even a layman to drag her  

 

Any other campy risk-averse concept would've been fine. She would've still been criticized (as she should), but here it's like they wanted to tape a fat ass sheet of paper on her back that says "kick me"

[Venice B]

She's pathetic, but whoever consumes that **** is even worse.

[SleepNoMore]

So she's saying the first part is supposed to be about women saying they're empowered using classic feminist imagery but making it a joke by sexing it up, so that the message is "we're not about the male gaze", but actually it is? So then what is the message we're supposed to take away from that? Feminism is actually still about pleasing men? I still don't get it, even if it's sarcastic.

She's such an uncool cringe millennial

 

everything she does give the same vibes as the "gen z are trying to cancel eminem" tiktoks
