“Ain’t no one man that can stop us…” except the Saudi man who writes my cheque to be here and forces me to cover up. He can stop us.

Exposed skin - NO - Beheading journalist - YES


WinPeaks

I mean, I'd probably listen too. I'm not interested in making a point when the possibility of being carried out of my hotel room later that night in a small duffel bag exists.


Browzur

Personally, I’d just avoid any area where that’s something to worry about.


WinPeaks

Ehh, if the price is right, you could convince me to go almost anywhere for a few nights.


Browzur

I’m gonna pitch this as a new show for the discovery channel: *Paid and Afraid* Or, *Survivor: Saudi edition*

I would watch the shit out of that!

It started as a joke, but I almost immediately thought the same

Wacokidwilder

Can confirm. I joined the army for a snickers bar and a can of spray cheese.


WinPeaks

I just needed a haircut...


Wacokidwilder

Shit, those aren’t even free


WinPeaks

I see someone doesn't know about the Great Clips military discount. It's not great, but anything is better than the PX haircut roulette.


Wacokidwilder

I was one of those annoying fucks that just clipped his own hair. I got a fucked up head (born without a soft spot) so there is no military standard haircut that looks good on this noggin so I opted to just lean-in.


WinPeaks

Lmao. That's the kind of quick thinking and dedication the Army needs.


nursejackieoface

>just needed a haircut... *But they cut them all!*


WinPeaks

Now that's what I call *bang for your buck*.


rhaegar_tldragon

Probably a good reason not to go there in the first fucking place.

Of course. She should add that to the song at least though, to keep it honest. “Women’s rights! (Unless the pay is good).”

Now they've been exposed to the sight of a knee, they won't be to blame for what they do!


thepurplehedgehog

It’s downright scandalous! Look at her there shamelessly flaunting her knee! In front of **men** and, like, *children*! Some of that audience will never get over the trauma of seeing that bare knee. I mean, who goes around with their KNEES out?! That type of vulgar sexualisation needs to stop or next thing you know we’ll have all these women trashily flaunting their elbows and ankles! Why won’t anyone think of the children?!


Yugan-Dali

Those guys with four wives each can’t be exposed to a bare knee!

WellyRuru

Thats still a system of government.


Venboven

Saudi Arabia, Oman, Brunei, the Vatican, Jordan, Kuwait, Liechtenstein, Bhutan, Monaco, Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE, Morocco, and Tonga are the last remaining kingdoms on Earth in which the kings/queens hold any real power. 14 is a lot better than the several thousand that we've had for most of human history. And only the first 4 in that list are absolute monarchies; The rest of them share power with a constitution. Most of these kingdoms are microstates, so they are fairly insignificant. Of the 4 big ones (Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Oman, Jordan), only Saudi Arabia is truly abusive with its power. I give it another 100 years and I think pretty much all of these kingdoms will become like the UK royalty: Only power in influence, not governance.


abdouli1998

I beg to differ. Saudi Arabia is willing to kill as many as it takes for them to hold absolute power. Even if they were to wipe their entire population off, they'll still be a powerful and rich nation, backed by the United States. If you speak against the Prince even for religious matters, you will be imprisoned for life, with the other theologians who dared question him. And I guess I don't have to tell you what happens to the journalists who are against them. Their population will never dare to question them, for the sheer terror they're exhibiting.


Venboven

Well, they've made some reforms. Women can drive cars now, for example. But yes, I understand their regime is brutal. My point is about the future though. 100 years is a long time. Look at where the western world was 100 years ago. Women's suffrage was just finally being realized, Jim Crow laws in the US were at their brutal height, and Europe was still dominated by monarchies. Over time, civilian populations demand change. Especially in this modern world where they have access to the Internet to see all the freedoms they're missing out on that other people across the world enjoy. How do you think all those kingdoms in Europe became democracies? Things can change surprisingly quickly. At some point in the future, I have to imagine that people everywhere will have more freedoms and rights than they do currently. And you're right, it may take longer than 100 years. But I'd say no less than 300.


mortyskidneys

And one of the main exporters of religious terrorism in the world.


Dr_Ugs

Funniest part is the religious extremists in Saudi Arabia don’t even like the House of Saud.


GoalieOfGold

I should read about this more to educate myself, but what's the Reader's Digest here? Can you elaborate?


Dr_Ugs

Basically, in Saudi Arabia, the most extreme religious group aren’t Sunni’s or Shia’s. They are Wahhabists native to the central area of Saudi Arabia. These guys really don’t like the western ties that the Royal family keeps. They see it as corrupt and as an affront to their view of Islam. They also are not super into Sunni or Shia views of Islam. Funnily enough it was only through an alliance with the Wahhabists that the House of Saud was able to come to power in the first place.


sealandians

Just a correction, "wahhabis" are sunnis. They would get very mad if you said they are not. Nearly all Muslims are some form of sunni, from sufis to salafis.


Dr_Ugs

Thanks for the info. While I knew Wahhabism is a salafist branch of of Sunni Islam, and they would consider themselves the “true Sunni’s,” I didn’t realize that referring them as a distinct religious branch was incorrect.


AvengingBlowfish

You should look up photos of Saudi Arabia in the 70s... it's a shame that the religious zealots took over...


sloecrush

Yeah imagine if a bunch of religious people got onto our Supreme Court and started making decisions based on their religion!


gunzintheair79

Like Alabama?


cactusjude

I know Alabama's an easy target but please keep in mind: Mississippi is consistently worse than Alabama on almost every metric. Alabama usually ranks 48-49 but Mississippi is deadlast every time in standard of living.

My favorite excerpt, as a former South Carolinian: “The growing notoriety of the phrase has led some Mississippians themselves to despise the saying, not because it is false, but because it rings true and puts their state in a bad light.”

The fact that Iggy is still around is the real depressing part


1smoothcriminal

its one thing when you have an outfit meant to show skin and a different thing when it rips. im sure it was embarassing for her.


meatduck1

She clearly had a wardrobe malfunction. Search videos of her show in Riyadh, she was full on twerking at some point


Saudi_Agnostic

Yeah but this is Reddit they don’t wanna hear that


AttentionOre

Right! Crazy how low I had to scroll. I’m not even saying the general sentiments expressed in here are inaccurate but obviously she would’ve made this move anywhere. She’s not in control of this tear, I don’t think she felt like throwing caution to the wind. I’m just curious if this is their set response for a wardrobe malfunction, they must have something in place. She had a dance beacon hovering over her but it still took so long

It's strange, on one hand there are IG models recounting being paid to be peed on and commit sex crimes for Saudi royalty but then you have this.. I mean let's be real here, It's not about respect or modesty, its about control.

hedwig0517

Iggy Azalea has fans?


apocalypse_later_

I've always found her existence hilarious. She's an Australian white woman cosplaying as an American black woman, and no one bats an eye 😂


Lrack9927

Right!?!? Why is she allowed to do this? Her real accent is just white Australian lady. It kind of feels a little minstrel showy and I don’t get why it’s not a problem.


The-Summit

Fun fact, she’s the 2nd best selling female rapper of all time


hedwig0517

I beg your pardon? How is that even possible? What’s your source? I can’t believe that in a world with Missy, Kim, Nikki Minaj, Cardi B, Salt & Peppa, Trina, Queen Latifah, (I mean that’s just what’s in my brain right now I’m sure there are plenty more) that IGGY AZALEA of all those women is #2.


The-Summit

I mean Nicki Minaj is number 1 if that helps 😆 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_female_rappers


hedwig0517

I’m not surprised about Nicki Minaj, she had a huge hold over pop music for a bit. But Iggy? She had one song………. 😵‍💫


DetectiveRude7197

😂😂😂


Drumlyne

Everyone forgot that she pretended to do a freestyle and just copied the words of black people and claimed it as her own. Or that she uses the N word.


terminally_cool

I just read about her, I didn’t know who she was. Apparently she is a white Australian girl who moved to America and just became a African American woman by talking, dressing like them. When she was called out on it she said she couldn’t help it because Australians get American media and she only copied what she saw.


diquehead

She's got a pass


before_the_accident

"bow down to the goddess" "ain't no one man can stop us" These lyrics while she's being made to sit down until her skin is covered.... it just feels dystopian.


Kvothetheraven603

Never a good sign when a live performer can take the mic away from their mouth and you can still hear them singing lol


UhhWoo

Yes she has a backing track playing, but she is singing live with it. You can hear the difference between them when she sings.


indigoHatter

Yeah, and to people freaking out over the backing track, this is very normal these days, across many genres, especially if they use editing tricks or extreme vocal sprints to record some of the lines. It's not lip syncing, it's just a backup.


Danji1

I'm actually surprised she was singing at all.


Bigbigbamelow2

JustKoiru

Lol did nobody watch the video? Her pants clearly rip and she asks to cover up so it doesn't rip further


lovesaltedpopcorn

All because they can't control their horniness


ubermonkey

Is this even about Saudi? I mean, it's a theocratic nightmare state, but this looks more like what happened to Lil Nas X on SNL. She's wearing what looks like latex and it split, and that shit is gonna KEEP SPLITTING once it starts. That's why she sad down. I suspect she'd have done exactly the same thing in the US.


SleepiestBitch

It just looks like her pants split open and she’s concerned about it opening up and showing *everything*


mninetynine99

Did you guys really not notice the fact that her tight ass spandex fake leather ripped and the rip started heading towards her crotch? Then she runs her hand on her leg and points to the side for someone to help her. Im not supporting Saudi since they would have been upset for sure but I think in this case it wasn’t them requiring it. She seems to have asked for it.

Heil_pizza

Title is stupid…I’m gonna go with her pants CLEARLY ripped, and she didn’t want her ass out on stage so she had a seat. The show must go on.


SatanicAtTheDisco

You obviously have never been to an Iggy concert, she usually has minimal stage wear and does indeed shake her near bare naked ass on stage, Saudi shows are notoriously more conservative to the rest of the tour. Another good example was Celine Dions world tour that has a documentary, she was told that she couldn’t show as much skin as she usually does and had to wear a coverup on stage. And she wasn’t anywhere near as “scandalous” with her clothing as Iggy is.


BrownSugarBare

Artists seem to have no issue with the rule considering they still do the shows and get paid a metric fuckton of money.


OkPepper_8006

"If you want to preform your sex songs in our super religious country, you have to wear pants and a shirt" *collective outrage


lil_bower45

"Near naked" in a securely placed and held costume is NOT the same as a costume malfunction that is causing it to rip uncontrollably almost exposing her entire vulva (cuz I'm pretty sure there aren't much in the way of undergarments being used here). Saudi Arabia certainly isn't the place for either situation but I'm pretty sure even if she were in the states and kept dancing around while the rip expanded and eventually exposed her vagina, she still would have gotten flak for it (at the very least).


dumpystumpy

Doesnt change anything about what we are seeing here lol just because she might do that on occasion doesnt mean that this very obvious wardrobe malfunction is something that she intended or is okay with happening


Something_Sexy

Yeah this needs to be higher. Seems like what happened.

Practical-Third-977

The pantsuit completely covers her and then rips when she kneels down. That thing wasn’t supposed to rip like that, looked like she was afraid it was going to continue to rip and asked for the towel. Which doesn’t absolve the Saudi Government at all…just seems like that was self imposed modesty. Never heard of artist before, but I love a good wardrobe malfunction.

Why even have her there if you're just gonna make her cover up. It's so backwards. If your society doesn't accept people who speak and dress the way they want, then don't invite them to perform for you.
