I was going to argue artistic license before I watched the video.

After watching this, I can't help but imagine if the roles were reversed it would probably have caused a splash. It wasn't just showing an abusive relationship in a censored manner that we often see in the media, it really was causing me to cringe from the violence and gore.

I think you guys are being a bit too thin skinned. The point is to see her as being fucking nuts. there are pieces of the shining and misery for a reason

This is a violent video - you are correct - but I would have to say that the likes are probably due to the music content and flashy colors rather than the video's content. I don't think people know or even really conceptualize domestic violence where men are victims. Unfortunately, I think people see this video and they don't know that they should question its content.

That is, I think that seeing a man hit a woman raises an alarm for many people. They react strongly. But seeing a woman hit or abuse a man does not raise any red flags.

The first time i saw the video i thought how sexist this would be if the genders were swapped.

Came here to make a logical and conjectured point about men and women or something, but I'll settle with this:

I fucking hate Pink, her music, and pretty much everything she stands for. Fuck you, Pink. Fuck you hard.

Came here expecting you to be criticizing Maroon 5's "Misery."

Was going to tell you it was 2010, not 2009, and at 237k (3x) upvotes to 7k (7x) downvotes.

I stand corrected.
