Hm. maybe if we weren’t living in a world where you’re more likely to get expelled for plagiarizing a paper than you are raping a girl in your dorm…. where rape is one of the hardest things to prove & rarely EVER persecuted…. where ideas about victims somehow being inherently guilty of something are not perpetuated...where rapists are not constantly being defended and excused…. yeah maybe if all that wasn’t going on, depicting rape in some eli roth styled trash wouldn’t be harmful. but in this day and age, do you really think it's good to be depicting rape as something sexy, with goofy slow mo shots of her hair whipping back like she's a model, nails digging into his arm (which could be a clip of any standard softcore porn), shit like that? its glamorization and hyper sexualization of a crime that is centered around control and degradation. a rape scene shouldn't be hot.

hey bud, if the general reaction to a rape scene is “well this is kind of hot” ….. something is wrong. Not about being "sensitive pussies" as you so eloquently put it. you really think that of all the ways to depict rape, the “let’s get her looking stunning and sexy and glimmering in cute little panties” route is the best one?

uhhh.. that's exactly my point. the show is not concerned with hyper-realistic portrayals of the times & if you wanted to get into it, there are SO MANY inaccuracies throughout the show's past seasons, so why would a tiny anachronism matter? one hiccup among several. it'd be weird if a show like carnivale, that was a real period show & worked each detail down to the magazines the characters would flip through to represent the dustbowl era correctly had an anachronism. but something fun and surreal like AHS..? i just don't see the dilemma here.

a show like american horror story, which always has supernatural elements & is not at all realistic, and you guys are getting worked up over the potential of a tiny anachronism in a song?

agreed! verses were dope

Are you kidding me? I was (and am) totally honored you created it.

hey that's me! :')

both are great but i like flipside the most. i really wish it had taken the place of guns and roses honestly - i'm still trying to figure out why that was put on ultraviolence anyways flipside flipside flipside

still laughing about this part of the guardian's review: "It takes 50 seconds of Ultraviolence for the first bad-boy boyfriend to turn up – "you got your gun and you like to party" – and 80 before our old friend the red dress hoves into view." our old friend the red dress

omg! that is ridiculously adorable of you to have done that

money power glory is my favorite guns and roses is probably my least favorite, feels like a filler track.

is this in one of the songs? i was praying it had connection to ultraviolence

lanashadesofcool put it on dropbox yo

lanashadesofcool just put it on dropbox for anyone having trouble

no, it's a zip! i'm on a mac, click the link at the top and wait, it takes a minute to go, probably because so many people are grabbing it.
