MTV Bans Kanye West's "Monster" Video

The attack against Kanye West’s newest videos continues. After Epilepsy Action warned viewers of his “All of the Lights” clip, MTV has now decided to ban Yeezy’s artful “Monster” video. The popular music network responded to feminine activists Sharon Haywood and Melinda Tankard’s petition asking MTV and Universal Music Group to pull the video, labeling it as offensive and misogynistic.

“The mainstreaming of videos like this increases desensitized and callous attitudes toward violence against women,” said Reist, one of the campaign originators. “Young people are seeing images and absorbing harmful messages which glamorise misogyny and brutalise women. Women are reduced to sex-doll like playthings. So great is the level of desensitization that the barbaric treatment of women and girls is seen as normal and to be expected. We decided to run this campaign because we wanted to challenge the status quo.”
