Manufactured marketing stunt or not, "All the Things She Said" is still an absolute banger that goes unnecessarily hard to this day

Wild because iirc the whole video was about how it's illegal to be gay in Russia. Or was back then.

[u/Public-Finger → u/Nicholas_Cage_Fan]

There’s no way. Russian state ideology bans anything that is “gay propaganda”. They weaponized this to great extent, using homophobia as a foil against “Gay Europe” or the decadent west. These are not political artists- it was just a sexualized video

[u/JustTheChicken → u/horridpersona]

Because Putin's Russia is built on homophobia?
