Give it a rest. A lot of people, myself included, have very serious concerns right now about what has rightly been described as the normalisation of children being sexualised. It's a big problem and we have to tackle it, and I for one will continue to do that as I have been for quite some time now.

...it's a woman acting in a provocative manner in a crib and that is the wrong image to send.
Given how many videos are being outed at the moment for being inappropriate, people are well within their rights to raise concerns.

Okay, so let me put this another way. If a piece of work, be it music or film, is portraying children in a sexualised manner then it is tantamount to paedophilia. Granted, this particular video does not contain images of children, but the woman is acting promiscuously in a crib and thus portraying children as a sex object. That is immoral. It may not in and of itself be paedophilia, but it is certainly promoting it.
This isn't about being "morality police", this is about speaking out against the music and film industry for either targeting children in unethical ways or promoting the sexualisation of children.
So you are pretty much agreeing with us that the Original Poster conflated his thread since there is no pedophilia in the video he linked.

If your main argument is about whether or not the video is actual paedophilia then we have a misunderstanding...
...but either way you're seemingly denying that the video is utterly disgusting and that's what I'm specifically pointing out.
Now if you'd excuse me I have a new thread to make...

the music videos nowadays are totally disgusting in this respect.

There is always someone, somewhere with delicate sensibilities who enjoys getting offended. We need to get all these precious little snowflakes a happy, warm safe space to protect them from all things sexual.

There is nothing complimentary about this matter, nothing whatsoever.
And yes, we need to protect our children from sexual predation.
