Man on Man (band featuring Roddy Bottum of Faith No More) “Daddy” video banned on Youtube

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

The Faith No More keyboardist who was known to be gay for a long time formed a band/project with his partner and the video was banned on YouTube for being too sexual it seems.

Big fan of FNM since the early days and while this new song isn't my cup of tea, I have to believe it wouldn't have caused a ruckus if it were two girls and it screams Homophobia to me.

Your thoughts???

It's on their Instagram page supposedly but I can't access it.

If anyone would be kind to go check it out or link it here, would be greatly appreciated.

I know, poor OP but I'll try to put it here if I can find it.

Surprising coming from the website that flags any and all LGBT content as inappropriate for kids.

 

[Musubi]

I just looked it up. There are several music videos off the top of my head that are way more sexually explicit that are on YouTube right now than that. Wouldn't be surprised if homophobia is the real reason it isn't on YouTube.

 

[baggage]

Well, that's pretty tame. Considering ... Le Sexoflex is still on youtube, maybe it was a targeted thing

 

[Deleted member 11976]

Everything in it is really tame. Unban it.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Glad I'm not missing something, seems they got railroaded.

Not shocked but we've still got a really long way to go in acceptance and respecting others.

 

[Platy]

It is tamer than Rammstein - Mann Gegen Mann and that has been on youtube for like 5 years

 

[Musubi]

For fucks sake Rammstein's Pussy is on YouTube and even though the most explicit scenes are blurred there is still like a TON more sexual content in that video than anything in this one.

 

[Deleted member 925]

YouTube being homophobic? Yeah, what else is new. Fuck them.

 

[Teenage Fansub]

That is a hairy video.

edit: We should embed it. Shouldn't be too sexy for Era.

Yeah, the thread is more about shaming them and hypocrisy than being surprised.

Just thought I'd call them out on their bullshit.

It won't lead to anything but sometimes it's worth it anyway.

 

[Lost Lemurian]

Well, considering these are all still up, it seems kinda weird that YouTube would have a problem with that video...

 

[Adree]

I kept waiting for the objectionable parts to happen and then it was over.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Can any action be taken by the band against YouTube or can YouTube just do anything it wants???

 

[RocketKiss]

From the website that recommends 'bikini try-on' videos of girls who are possibly younger than 18

Getting the issue covered on Pitchfork and such would probably do the trick.

 

[Dead Man]

Well that was tame as fuck. As an aside, when did Roddy get so hot lol.

 

[hateradio]

Never really listened to FNM. Song was okay.

Fuck YouTube. However, was it some vague law that made them change their LGBT policy or was it just YT itself that started filtering and banning these kinds of things?

 

[hjort]

Video's quite tame by current music video standards. It's pretty cute, even. Song's alright too. I wonder if this ban is the result of a bunch of homophobes getting together to report the video or something. Not that that would make YouTube's actions any less pathetic, but you know.

 

[Tremorah]

Fucking hypocrites, that was tame as fuck compared to modern pop song videos

 

[TheChuggernaut]

I watched a music video two days ago on YouTube that has straight up uncensored tits in it yet this is somehow too much?

 

[CaptainTrips]

Well that was tame as fuck. As an aside, when did Roddy get so hot lol.

As a gay man, growing up with Roddy being the alt 80s party pretty boy to seeing him now being this dad bear is definitely a revelation

 

[fontguy]

People treat gay romance and sexuality as vulgar and profane, and it's fucking garbage. Fuck YouTube.

 

[The Bear]

YouTube having double standards and homophobia, news at 11 :(.

 

[Zombine]

Pretty harmless honestly. Song is pleasant as well. Definitely an agenda.

 

[NickHyde]

If they made some I'd definitely watch their porn lol
I think youtube banned the video because their underwear is a bit too tight, you can definitely see their cockhead shape. I certainly don't mind but eh.

 

[uzipukki]

It's clear that it was done because they are gay. YT is such fucking crap. Should be burned down.

 

[Deleted member 11370]

It's pretty clear there reason why the video was banned from YT is rampant, unapologetic homophobia. There are a million worse "offenders" than this one that rack up hundreds of millions of views.

... do you really consider What's My Age Again as a "sexual" video? I honestly think you couldn't have picked worse examples with three of those four songs, but this one is particularly puzzling for me, as a huge fan of the band.

 

[EYEL1NER]

Roddy is cool as fuck and I'm glad he's doing some more stuff. It's not quite my thing musically but I'm still happy for him. Fuck YouTube as well; there's nothing wrong with the video.

 

[Francesco]

It was probably the close-up shot of the underwear penis bag that did it, for anyone wondering.

I threw it in there because they're naked with tiny censor blotches throughout the whole video. Maybe not "sexual", but definitely a lot of male near-nudity.

I mean it does have three naked men gathering around a sexy nurse to check out her tits seconds after a lyric about sodomy.

 

[Coolsambob]

What the fuck, that's not even standard pop song video sexual.

 

[Hours Left]

Of course it's homophobia.

 

[Starmud]

i say this after seeing problems with a few videos (especially music videos) of men you'd describe as "bears" in the gay community being pulled on youtube, where as i've seen pretty sexualized videos from other body types of gay men left alone. theres one music video that was long put in reistricted/required sign in of two men with beards just kissing repeatably, where as many other kissing videos were left alone for years.

its been a little suspect for a long time, something about body hair/burly men on screen that the censors don't like or consider more sexualized... of course youtubes censoring system is a joke, you can find videos of guys masturbating out of frame/showing visible VPL yet they'll take down videos like this.
